        because you presented the possibility of failure and said it was an issue.

          Yes. Failure in that hypothetical scenario would be pretty bad.

            so you're saying it would be bad if trump won because it leads to the greatest chance of revolution, and if the revolution fails then we're under the thumb of government, and you'd rather that we continue this incremental change bullshit, and think that that would be a better route, despite the fact that during the last fifty years the country has regressed rather than progressed. am i getting that right?

              No.

              if the revolution fails then we’re under the thumb of government

              Yes.

              and you’d rather that we continue this incremental change bullshit, and think that that would be a better route, despite the fact that during the last fifty years the country has regressed rather than progressed

              No. I’m saying a revolution would be a better route. And that it occurring under “incremental change bullshit” has a less risky chance of working.

              am i getting that right?

              Partly. You are getting there.

                incremental change doesn't lead to revolution. your opinion is American Stockholm Syndrome. it's ass.

                  No, it doesn’t. I’m not saying it leads to a revolution at all. But there has been no incremental change the past 4 years. Only far-right extreme change and Americans dying by the thousands. A revolution is primed in either outcome.

                  your opinion is American Stockholm Syndrome.

                  It must be nice to not be a hostage. To not be a marginalized class. To not be repeatedly and personally threatened that you will be the first on the firing line, the first target of domestic terror. It must be nice.

                    lol. probably neither outcome, but just based on the rubber band effect, a trump win has a higher chance of leading to a progressive winning in four years.
