So when is the revolution? [View all]

Let's face facts. Nothing, absolutely nothing, short of a mass revolt is going to take down this regime. Voting, either in2026 or 2028, is not going to do it, they are already rigging these elections in plain sight. Congress isn't going to do a damn thing, those who aren't lapdogs are drowned out by those who are. Don't count on the court system either. Sure, we've had a few victories, but most of those are hollow at best, and at some point they will simply start ignoring the courts. The media, don't make me laugh. The Epstein files aren't ever going to truly come to light until those who need to be held accountable are dead and buried. Even if Trump dies, things will continue to roll merrily along with the oligarchs' hand picked boy Vance.

It is quickly coming down to us, you, me, everybody, to stand up and say no. I know, I know, scary thought, Americans have lived with a truly functioning democracy for so long that many have become apathetic and don't even want to consider that we're going to have to fight, truly fight for out country, but here we are. With each passing day this country is going further down the road to a cruel dystopian nightmare. More than one founding father recognized that at some point we the people would have to fight to retain our democracy, our country. So when does the fight start, when do we rise up and say no more? Hopefully soon, because if we don't there will be no country left to fight for.
