    Strategically speaking liberal politicians are backed into a corner and only have two real options:

    1. Seize control preemptively, promoting conservative conspiracy to prophecy, and likely inciting CW2.

    2. Hand over full control come January and hope they continue to maintain some privilege under a new regime.

    They’re already in check, but more concerned with soliciting large donations and collecting hot stick tips.

        Go. Start some research, and head out. Many countries you can just enter. Call it a vacation for the first year and see if you like it.

      Liberal politicians do not need to be the ones to make sure #1 happens. The second amendment literally exists so the citizens have the capacity to do that ourselves.

          It wasn’t a joke from me. Democracy dies when the good man does nothing. I am a good man and I will fight for this democracy, as fucked up as it is. The right believes the left to be weak pacifists because we choose compromise, tolerance, and acceptance over bigotry, hate, and subjugation. They will need to learn the hard way that we choose that because we know that mutually beneficial social contracts make living better and provide a safe, prosperous world. They obviously do not want to be party to these social contracts with me, so I will not allow them any of the safety or benefits.

            He does, but why would the president tell the army to do nothing when the people are rising up against said president? Nobody is that stupid, any rise up against the government will end with the military curb stomping it in about 15 minutes.
