    Except in many countries, these guys seized power and kept it. Iran, Afghanistan… This is what’s happening in the US right now. If there’s no pushback hard, soon, I really don’t think you will still be a democracy in 10 years.

      Trust me I know, and many of us are aware of the precarious situation we are in. The problem is that a significant chunk of the US are actively cheering them on and agree that the US are turning into a nation of “heretics,” and then there are probably a good 80% of the population that are successfully programmed to be triggered into hot-button topic debates that miss the big picture. I’m all for doing something, but no one can agree on what to do despite knowing something is wrong. Bread and circuses.

          I hope we can figure it out and achieve Star Trek future, it’s just curious how we’d pull ourselves out of the mess we’re currently consumed by.
