"We don’t settle our differences, America, with a riot, a mob, or a bullet, or a hammer. We settle them peacefully at the ballot box." - Biden, tonight.
We settle them peacefully at the ballot box. But if that's denied, then we must respond with self-defense.
@TruthSandwich this gives the impression he is prepared to call up the national guard if needed. Good. I hope it doesn't come to that, but, at least he is ready to do it if need be 💪
@M00dyBlue If we were forced to respond to violence with violence, it would be bad. In fact, the only thing worse would be failing to respond.
One of the accounts I used to Follow in the bad place would routinely suggest that liberals arm themselves. I'd love to be able to call that alarmist. I really would.
@TruthSandwich me too. I really really hope we can get through this with out violence. I don't think we will. I truly hope I'm wrong. My heart breaks that my country even got to this point.
@Tarnagh @TruthSandwich I feel every word of that my friend. Every word.
@M00dyBlue @Tarnagh To be fair, it has already come to violence. The question is how much more.
@M00dyBlue @TruthSandwich "The only thing worse would be failing to respond."
Yes. I think about this rather often, unfortunately.
I decided in 2015 what kind of person I'd have been in 1935. Because I could see this coming even then.
I *desperately* want to be wrong now.
