    Well, as I've said many times, we just need to keep doing what we did during the Vietnam war. Keep holding power accountable by exercising our freedoms.

    You know, back during the Vietnam war days they would beat you to a bloody pulp for protesting, but now they can't do that anymore. One, it's on TV, two people have woken up a bit more and they are just outraged by that sort of thing so the elites have to be more careful.

    That way we keep pushing society that way. And you just keep voting blue no matter who until the end of time, but blue keeps getting better and better. Like in Nicaragua they had to hide it. Vietnam they just bombed them and then iraq it was in the open, so we voted blue and they had to hide it.

      I havent seen Blue get any better while i've been alive, at age 25. It seems to have gotten worse, at least Obama talked like a champion of the working class. If anything Obama seemed to scare them, they saw what could happen if we got someone they werent able to control. Luckily for them he was controllable, but it was a close one. The two elections since then, they have had all their ducks in a row to a huge degree. We have had our Consent Manufactured so dramatically over the last 2 elections, that I find it hard to believe we will ever be able to defeat it. Which is of course their goal, we would never know if they actually came close to losing, but that seems speculative.
