I'd rather not talk to them & just vote them out - they've already shown who they are, and I believe them.

They're not going to let you vote them out. That ship has already sailed.

I think it's prudent not to assume it's impossible until it is. When they leave absolutely no room for doubt that's the way it's going to be, then there will be far less hesitation when it comes to opposing them. Let them force us to unite against them. As it stands, there are still too many afraid of going outside the status quo so they need to be given little choice.

Bless your heart. You still think the US is a democracy.

Not really, no - it never was. But many "centrists" still do, and we need their support so proving the truth we see to them is necessary.
