I know!

let's not vote and get trump elected so that instead of just being arrested, these people are shipped off to a gulag.

That will fix everything!

I think you need a literal rebellion to get the change you want. Glad I don't live there, watching America decay is something else.

Resist the urge to deviate from the plan.

Resists the ideologues who only want violence.

Resist the temptation to sit back and do nothing.
