    And do you have a thousand friends who will pick up a gun to defend what you believe in?

        You brought up the threat of violence as a way to protect a political belief since, without the rule of a law, might makes right.

        Therefore, if you want to protect your political beliefs, it would seem prudent for you to back up your political beliefs with the threat of violence.

        If you are going to ask for an army to defend a political position, I would expect that you should be able to field an army to defend your political position. After all, might makes right, right?

          At no point did I say that might makes right. The US empire is extremely mighty, and also deeply evil and corrupt to the very core. What I said is that if you want to actually affect whether or not Trump becomes president, you will need to harness great might to do that. Whether you used that might for evil, such as to install a fascist dictator, or for good, such as to install a communist party, you would need that sort of might.

          Voting does not accomplish any goal.
