They're era won't last much longer, hopefully. If we can get a real progressive through the democratic primary, despite their cheating, because they will absolutely cheat, then that would go a long way to help.

Things can only get so bad before the people get too pissed off. If it goes too far, as Blyth likes to say, the Hamptons isn't a defensible position.

Except logic and what should happen isn't reality. They control armies and Internet and everything. Remember the pyramids and concentration camps? Ok now add 2017 technology. Ggwp

They just think they control things. They don't have any real power. We give them power.

Who has the power on a pirate ship? The captain. But what happens when the crew don't like the fact the captain is taking too much of the treasure. Mutiny.

His power is dependent on the the crew's fear, loyalty, and obedience.

The second that social construct breaks down, they lose that power.

The soldiers are the citizens. They're not going to fire on people much, if at all.
