It's not exactly my genre of music but i like it anyway.

It does feel like chaotic times are ahead. At some point, the republicans will do something so vile that people will say "No", and when that happens there will be violence.

I don't want a civil war. I don't want unrest. But I do want every republican and their enablers removed from power, and the billionaires stripped of their wealth. I don't know how to get from here to there.

Violence isn't the answer, it is the question. And the answer depends on whether people have been stripped enough of their rights and dignity.

I always like to say: there was a way America gained its independence and it wasn't by standing around waving signs

I disagree. If we aren't up in arms now we never will be. There won't be a moment where they go too far. That moment already happened when project 2025 came out and he was still elected. Now that every element of project 2025 is underway there won't be some great shocking moment. Just a slow slide until one day you realize the only real chance to stop the coup was at the start of the presidency.

You're probably right. Dark days ahead.

But I hold out a little hope that people will fight back
