As far as I can tell, achieving actual changes within this system, that do not lead to humanity’s near term death, is quite literally impossible. They are burning this bitch down. It’s not how I would have done it, but it’s done. There is no saving the USA from this. Nothing will be going back to “normal.” The rules by which our country has functioned have been so thoroughly trampled, they are unrecognizable. We are in for such a hellish future, that nearly any method of changing course is justified.

My point being, I think it’s very naive to expect ANY change for the better to come about without significant bloodshed.
