3. Absolutely not!

This maybe who 30% of Americans are, but it is far from a majority. The system as it exists now allows a minority to gain and keep control. It is our responsibility to change that system. Yes, the Republicans will do anything to maintain power. It’s time we stopped fearing them, who are the minority, they start fearing us, the majority. If ICE shows up at polling places, State Police should arrest and detain them. If they try to steal ballots, voters should block their access. If they just make things up, shut the fucking country down with a general strike. Complacency is not an option if we don’t want to end up in camps.
