problem is the Nazis have guns too. And the police. And the national guard.
Some folks may say it's harder to miss with that many.
so basically civil war is your answer.
I don't really see any other way for this to be resolved. clearly via democracy will not work
We are in a rough spot but i think it's shortsighted and defeatist to think civil war is any kind of answer with the demographics roughly evenly split. Plus there's no convenient north-south divide like there was the first time around, we are all mixed up in every state.
At the very least let's see what happens when Trump croaks and younger people who know how technology works are in congress.
But if we just let republicunts do whatever they want while we just politely ask then to stop - surely they will eventually think about others once they get everything they want.
Some folks might also say "so 77 million vs 75"
So you'll only fight if you ha e overwhelming odds? Might be waiting a while and it's not like it's something you can afford...
Have fun hitting that strawman?
I think you looked a bit silly but I suppose they go together often enough
What strawman? Sure, time will always exist, but to stop fascism from overtaking your country and becoming entrenched, not much of that time left. Have fun!
The part where you put false positions up and screeched at them
Okie dokie? Have fun in the gulag!
So, what, you just let them do whatever they want?
