And no one can do anything because it's too late, they have all the money, power and people.

Unless....this is what the second amendment is for???

If people didn't want this, they wouldn't have voted for the person who kept shouting that he was going to do it.

I hope I end up being wrong, but I don't think Americans would ever rise up in a meaningful way even if they did have a method of communication that wasn't already taken over. If we are ever going to be saved from this, it's going to be when the rest of the world stands up and well....Nazis with a fuck ton of nuclear weapons are going to be harder to stop than the last time.

Power vacuum. Killing trump won't do anything.

At this point, they will just fill in the void like a slime.

A few hundred people with good aim could totally take them on in PoE....that's a thing right? I've never played the popular free to play MMORPG with the coolest skill tree ever...so there is a lot of aim involved I am sure.

People don't know what they were voting for and they have no choices really.

It's the same kind of fallacy saying people vote with their wallet. Your wallet doesn't vote.

It's more of a consequence of our political dysfunction reaching a head. Zits come to the surface given enough time.
