I promise you’re not. Are you ready? and if so, in what way? and finally how does marching up and down the street with a big sign saying “THE END IS NEAR!” get us ready. We get it! Things are fucked up and the Republicans are looking to fuck us up further. However, right now attacking the RNC with molotov cocktails and rounding up Republican voters into reeducation camps will not be productive as it will probably get us arrested and turn the tide of public opinion against us. So we will have to settle for legal remedies of trying to play by the rules of civil society and do what we can to turn public opinion. Meanwhile having someone screaming that we are doomed every 10 minutes is not particularly helpful when we already know what you are saying. Its like the [life support alarms in the COVID ward.](https://youtu.be/ThOyyQjC0aY?t=33) Yes the patient’s life is in danger, but we already know about it and are doing what we can which we realize may not be enough, so having the damn thing screeching without us being able to turn it off is not improving matters. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-pit-thread-for-asahi/828944)._
