I wish more political commentators would wrestle with this fact. I understand the need to remain calm and denounce violence, and we should certainly do that! But at the same time, the discussion needs to be had about what to do when all the other options are exhausted. And as you've already outlined, we're running out of options. Basically everything hinges on the vote in November, and I'm under no illusion that Trump and the GQP and SCQTUS will steal it if it's any closer than it was last time. Then what?

Just to add - there is a reason the right tries to demonize Antifa, because it works and they know it works.

I feel it's important to add here that the only thing these chuds understand is strength and power, and violence is the only thing that will counteract their influence. Maybe it doesn't require physical violence right now and other forms of strength would frighten them off - counter protests seem to work well in Germany, not to mention full-on bans of their gatherings (they don't have a similar 1A of course...).

At some point however I fear that physical violence is the only solution with them. Unfortunately, fascism evolved to chink away at all the weak spots in the liberal democrat's armor and use the things we love against us. They don't care about truth, they don't care about consistency, etc. They can't be beat on the debate stage because they don't care about words. All they care about is strength because they're 99% insecure lemming cowards and we have to use it against them.

He knows he can keep power as long as there's a war but his days are numbered when it's over. So a forever war is in his best interest.

Great idea, because it's less important to hold someone to account when they're lying to become President. God it is so infuriating how much power loves to support power, fucking sociopaths.

So would this potentially reset the battlefield and negate the disruptive changes drones had brought to it? Or does it just mean more drones and stronger drones?

Hey you can't stay the least worst generation if everyone is thinking about you all the time

And the possible seats on SCOTUS

That is a clever point but I think it also overly simplifies the nature of reality to such a point that it's not likely to change any minds.
