Liberalism will inevitably lead us back here again but at least we get to live to fight. Choosing not to fight because we're outnumbered and would have to ally with our enemies is choosing defeat.
You’re right, but I’m content with watching the whole thing crumble.
I guess that works, though I'd push you to get engaged in mutual aid efforts or learn to shoot or something. Just because we're watching it crumble doesn't mean we can't protect those we care about :)
I’m in the midwest, I know how-to shoot. ;)
You’re a force of good. Thanks, mate.
