    Except in many countries, these guys seized power and kept it. Iran, Afghanistan… This is what's happening in the US right now. If there's no pushback hard, soon, I really don't think you will still be a democracy in 10 years.

      Trust me I know, and many of us are aware of the precarious situation we are in. The problem is that a significant chunk of the US are actively cheering them on and agree that the US are turning into a nation of "heretics," and then there are probably a good 80% of the population that are successfully programmed to be triggered into hot-button topic debates that miss the big picture. I'm all for doing something, but no one can agree on what to do despite knowing something is wrong. Bread and circuses.

          All good man, much obliged.

          I hope we can figure it out and achieve Star Trek future, it's just curious how we'd pull ourselves out of the mess we're currently consumed by.
