    We’ve been saying conservatives will be marginalized soon since the 90’s. I really hope it happens in my lifetime. The infestation has only gotten worse.

      But they have been marginalized, that’s why they’re not winning the popular vote.

      What we are witnessing are the death throes. They can no longer achieve their goals through democracy and so they have started trying to dismantle democracy.

      It was never going to be a peaceful transition of power, we’ll have to tear it from these dinosaurs’ dead claws, but the transition has already begun. If America can survive, I think we’ll start to see more and more left-leaning politics as Gen X and millenials replace boomers as a major voting bloc.

    • And had Gore won it may very well be true, but just cause something seems inevitable doesnt mean it is. Nothing great has been achieved through ignorant inaction.

        Agreed. Physical training, education and preparation will save innocent lives. Successfully resisting the conservatives will require it.

        It’s a great idea to join a local John Brown Gun Club and learn to shoot, even for non-combatants. First-aid / trauma-aid classes and MMA classes are also extremely helpful, even for pacifists.

        Conservatives are not pacifists and will not be kind or merciful to those who are unable to defend themselves.
