A Dangerous Wager

President Trump's open and clear threat to deport American citizens to El Salvadorian prisons should be the final nail in the coffin of our democracy. His repeated Authoritarian attempts to overthrow the United States Constitution, his seizure of power without regard to legality or checks and balances, his complete and total abandonment of all principles of limited government, should absolutely render his Presidency illegitimate.

These "resist" stickers are just virtue signals. They accomplish nothing other than membership in a social club of gentle and fashionable opposition. Don't resist. Revolt. Take off the leash of politeness before these traitorous monsters strangle us with it. The Tree of Liberty is thirsty and it is also brittle. It requires that we tend to it. My hope is that we retake the flag, and turn our attention, our energy, our anger, our hope, to the work of revolution.

Or, you know, we can hold up "this is not normal signs" at his speeches and hope Combover Caligula suddenly grows a soul and conscience. Personally, I think that's a dangerous wager.
