i'd love to hear about how tearing down the government is a moral decision
Governments, like trees, need to be pruned every once in a while. Rebelliousness and pushing the boundaries does not need to rise to the level of domestic terrorism; the states legalizing weed without the federal government's blessing is a minor act of rebelliousness, and that never could have happened if there was not a bit of wiggle room.
When a government is too authoritarian, noncompliance is a moral stance. MLK's civil disobedience movement, for example.
At least that's my moderate take on the idea. Tearing everything down is rarely a good idea, but the progressives seem enamored with it.
denying the validity of the vote completely undermines the power of the government. this is not wiggle room, it is creating anarchy. your take is not moderate, its borderline extremist. there are extremists on both sides that revel in tearing everything down but throughout history, that never works out. working within the frame of the status quo to bring about incremental change may not be sexy but its much less bloody and much more effective at bringing about some of the change originally envisioned.
if you support organized groups that are talking dangerous talk, expect a knock on the door about the repurcussions of aiding a terrorist organization.
your take is not moderate,
Well I was speaking of drug laws and civil rights in that instance.

Yeah; its depressing. I don't like doubting the election, but it just looks so overwhelmingly bad.

Personally I'm terrified of the idea anything might need to be torn down. I love the United States and don't want it to burn at all. The question is, does the United States still exist, or is its zombified corpse about to carry out a macabre imitation? Because it really, really looks like the latter might happen.

*Was. Was much more effective. If my fears are correct, we don't have a say in matters anymore. Well, okay it is still more effective, but now we send lobbyists to Silicon Valley instead of Washington.

If Biden's puppeteers win, I expect that'll happen regardless.
i'd love to hear about how tearing down the government is a moral decision and creating a new generation of domestic terrorists is important to the yin and yang of society
