    Sorry, no.

    Our enemies have been consolidating power and influence for over 40 years. We do not have the time to nicely convince everyone that ‘our side has cookies’

    It is either get with it or get the fuck out of the way. Anyone with a brain recognizes that fact.

      So you think squirting people with water pistols is more effective? It was an either/or question.

      Or maybe a different, historical hypothesis?

      You’re a Roman Senator, trying to gain support for election. Do you

      a) give bread to plebians with your name carved into the crust or

      b) have your personal guard beat anyone that doesn’t promise to vote for you?

        Historically uhhh b

        Voter intimidation was such a problem that it led to the invention of the secret ballot.

        So yes, violence is more effective.

        Inconveniences like being stuck in traffic are not violence. Grow up.
