There is no rule of law, then what are we doing here? Why are we playing ball?

Ok, MAGA wants to burn it down. Good for MAGA, they still don’t get to decide for everyone.

I won’t be able to do this for long. Why aren’t we in the streets? What’s so great about your life that authoritarian rule is not a threat to you?

    They can’t put 350 million people in prison. What good is your money in a country of lawlessness? When you pay the thugs to not rob you, what will be left for yourself?

      When you get all 350 million people to riot I’ll be on your side. But laying low is a more likely to succeed option. This country has never been fair or politically good. I prepared for this, because I could see it coming.

      I literally pay taxes, that’s paying the thugs not to rob you. It works well in Japan too, their thugs will defend your shop.

        I’m not mad at you. I could sit this one out just the as much as the next guy. The fact is injustice is happening right in front of you and if no one stops it, it will find it’s way to you.
