    I used to think that way but now I would say your are ignoring the severity of the situation and still clinging to the lie that we still live in a democracy.

      It’s not really even about being a democracy. Kommunist East Germany with one of the most formidable surveillance systems to date could only look on when a sufficient percentage of the population rose peacefully.

      I believe the plumbing for democratic change is still present in the US. What is preventing change is people doom scrolling on the couch.
