Duh.

I've been buying up guns and ammo for the coming war as Plan B. The other plan is to bail on this country but unfortunately I'm about a year out on that.

Anyone who thinks the midterms will fix things is delusional. Anyone who thinks simply voting will change things at this point is off their rocker. I'm not saying don't do that, but the entire system is rigged against us and until those in power fear walking out their front door - nothing will change.

    We. Know.

    We all know the writing on the wall about what the regime will do or try to do in, and leading up, to November. It's more about giving those in our community one last shot at being decent people who want to live in a functioning society. It's about seeing how many in this country live in abject reality and can admit when their eyes and wallets don't reflect reality.

    We know they will try everything they can to fuck this all in their favor. It's more a vote to see how many actually want to be human beings anymore. We know those in power are ghouls. But how many of our neighbors pine to be those ghouls, we'll find out in a few months, I guess.
