Looking at the protests and the obvious planning that went into them, I am rapidly coming to believe that you are correct. Looking at the county results versus the state results, and I am beginning to believe that we do need to reform the electoral college. Not removing it like the Dems want, but modifying it to try to balance the growing disparity between urban and rural areas.
I started to type a few paragraphs on what I think we need to do to save our country. As I typed I came to the conclusion that the US might not be saveable anymore.
I cannot (will not) start a revolution, but I certainly expect it and know what side I will be on.
I know that my own opinions are frequently regarded as a little too radical or controversial, but I have always regarded srothstein as a voice of reason and sanity. That he and I
agree on this point ought to make doubters wake up and smell the coffee. Bad juju
is coming. I don’t want it, and nobody in their right mind
should want it. But not wanting it isn't the same thing as being in denial about it, and failing to do the necessary things to prepare for it.
The
possibility of it is 100%. It is 100% possible that a revolution would be necessary to restore the constitutional republic. What’s in play isn’t the possibility; it’s the
probability—which is dependent upon the forces being applied against the constitution at any given time. And the probability is shaping up that a Biden/Harris administration will bring enough pressure to bear against the 1st and 2nd Amendments to end in open rebellion. As I keep saying, only a fool
wants this to happen; but it takes a bigger fool to deny the probabilities and fail to prepare for it ........while still
HOPING with all sincerity that it doesn’t come to pass.
