    And i am saying that forcing people to confront the evil they voted for in no uncertain terms is part of the solution. People will find it much harder to bury their head in the sand if that means choking on blood.

    I personally do not think the average voter who was upset that eggs cost $4 will stomach even a small amount of violence, and if there is actually a path back it requires snapping these people back to reality. But I don’t intend to be a martyr. I don’t think Trump actually has the balls to mow down peaceful protesters on the national mall, and I don’t think anyone who takes orders from him does either.

    The point is to make it hard for them. If they are going to go full Tiananmen Square then make them do it with a spotlight and a backing track.

    I will definitely be out there. And if my bloody corpse is crushed into paste and washed down the drain with a hose, my parents and friends and some of my coworkers will stand up and say “yo this person was not a terrorist they were actually pretty patriotic, thoughtful and an engaged citizen who volunteered and was active in local government and fostered dogs and shit.”

    This is how you break down the mythology. I won’t hold it against anyone who is afraid to step up, but people need to step up.

    " I am asking you to fight. To fight against their anger, not to provoke it. We will not strike a blow, but we will receive them. And through our pain, we will make them see their injustice, and it will hurt, as all fighting hurts. But we cannot lose. We cannot. They may torture my body, may break my bones, even kill me. Then they will then have my dead body, not my obedience."
