I am certainly not pretending everything is going to be okay. I am also of the opinion that violence is the only political action that ever truly solves anything, for better or for worse. Conservatives have a pretty large monopoly on violence in this country, and that problem is becoming self-evident to anybody that is paying attention.

Until the left is willing to fight back, or present a violent opposition to the erosion of our rights when necessary we are just slow walking to the forgone conclusion that our democracy has already fallen because there is nobody here that is willing to defend it on our own soil regardless of the cost.
