    The expanded prison at gitmo is going to come in handy when the US starts rounding up Trumpists and billionaires for reeducation and wealth redistribution.

        That’s how this ends. The French perfected the process with the invention of the guillotine.

          They perfected it so well that Napoleon was crowned emperor with even more power than the King had 15 years later.

            Revolution is never perfect and things often get worse before they get better but the current path that the US is on leads to a bloodbath.

              I don’t think I want someone this inconsistent leading the glorious uprising.

                It’s going to happen despite the wet blanketing.

                  Which is going to happen? The perfect thing or the thing that’s never perfect?

                    Both, pedant. The French perfected the process of lopping off the heads of the powerful and wealthy. They did an extremely good, extremely efficient job of that. In the long term things will likely be messy for a while while things sort themselves out.

                    Keep up the wet blanketing, though, you’re doing your best.
