Scary but quite valid observations, T.L. In his letter dated November 13, 1787, to William Stephens Smith, the son-in-law of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson wrote about rebellions, the most recent being ours against the British.

Within that writing he noted, "And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."

So what I think you are really alluding to here in your article is - can we find enough patriots willing to shed blood... if it comes to that?

funny how even when zion Trump won, the situation still looks bleak. Voting for the only choice presented that was remotely good i.e. Trump vs the cackling hyena hasn't made much difference. If DOGE makes a difference, it won't be long before business is back to usual. Until everything collapses.
