I surely hope so, but from what I can see Republicans in Washington are too invested in its establishment to do that. Left and Right are merely pistons attached to the State engine. It's the engine that has to be dismantled - which is why 2A is so contentious and why we have more and more draconian efforts for the People to obey. I would like to think a non-violent approach is doable but lately I'm not so sure. We may have to physically defend ourselves from this absurd and hostile rogue government.

Non-violent, but backed up by the threat of kinetic action, if forced to use it. There's a reason the Founders put 2A in there.

Why Biden is so hellbent on rebanning the so-called-by-the-ignorant 'assault weapons'. But not knives, cars, or fists. Not shotguns, neither.

BigPharma & the other big Corporate lobbies already owns 99% of our (s)elected officials. The only way is to clean sweep the fucking house & the senate and start over with 99% of senators & representatives who haven't ever been in national office before. I'd be willing to keep Ron Johnson and entertain the idea of a couple in each legislative branch to lead them, but that's it. And it would be great if we can get rid of both the Democrap & Rethuglican parties too. We are gonna have to go back to paper ballot voting & human counting too. If it comes down to fingers dipped in indelible ink to ensure 1 citizen & 1 vote, so be it. Yeah, it'll be a mess. But it can't possibly be any worse than letting the bastards keep genociding us while they're robbing us blind of our tax monies...

Rand Paul, Jim Jordan... there are some good ones. Not many, but some.

It is possible, easy even, to build a fully-automatic voting system that is 100% accurate and nearly impossible to fraud. Easier, in fact, than making one that is an engine of fraud. Much easier -- one thing computers excel at is counting. Fast and 100% accurate.

But in this political climate, that may not be feasible; we elected our Student Council presidents with paper ballots and we can elect Presidents that way too.
