Exactly. The whole point of a democracy, IMO, is to streamline non-violent revolutions to avoid bloodshed when things get bad.

- ttyprintk 2y agoThis is, in my opinion and without attributing any of my nonsense on you, my definition of conservative. The lesson from history that legitimate grievances left to fester justify radicals who do more damage than good. You motivate more conservative people into government by making them uneasy about the number of radicals. Currently, in America the Republican Party is changing much faster than the Democratic Party. What’s uneasy in the Republican Party is that they’re no longer conservative; led by billionaires radicalized without accountability. That’s not hyperbole and it doesn’t mean a net negative this time around. It’s a challenge to study revolutions and judge who is following the right lessons today.
