Well golly gee if you say so Doctor it must be true. I can't convince a fanatic. I just want to make sure no one is persuaded by your nonsense. So anyone you reads this can jude if the guy with multiple studies is correct or the guy who is obviously trying to stir up violence to help trump.

Celestino, Mauricio Rivera, & Gleditsch, Kristian Skrede (2013).

Violent campaigns succeeded only 26% of the time.

Nonviolent victories were more likely to lead to lasting democratic institutions.

At Menards hardware store in Cicero, IL

It's a major hardware chain throughout the Midwest.

Look at Trump's masked thugs shattering the truck windows and dragging a man off to an unmarked car.

Menards told employees to delete any videos they took of the ICE raid—or they would be fired.

The grotesque metaphor of Trump tearing apart the figurative seat of American democracy

The horrifyingly haphazard manner in which he had the East Wing demolished, with no respect shown to history or the historic structure, is the poisonous icing on a rotting cake.

I think we need to spread the idea loudly that their oath is to the Constitution and just following orders didn't work as a defense at Nuremberg, My Lai, Rwanda, Yugoslavia or many other places
