Look, I am not an advocate of violence at all. But I have to ask and wonder...

Is it better to wait for Jefferson Davis to take the White House?

Do we wait until the traitor commands the US Military?

Is it better to wait until another country is drawn into our internal conflict militarily?

Is it better to wait until people have been exterminated?

What happens if Trump wins again, assisted by traitors in the House, Senate, and Supreme Court?

Asking for a concerned 300 million.

@DemocracyMattersALot @opethminded Yes, but we can neutralize them. Take away all but their original jurisdiction via legislation. Expand the Court. Enforce ethics rules with teeth.

We moved to America in 2015, in time for my kid to start third grade. Now she's a year away from graduating high school (!) and I've had a front-row seat for the US K-12 system in a district rated as one of the best in the country. There were ups and downs, but high school has been a monster.
