If the time comes

Will Trump be impeached? No. Will he be reelected? Probably. Will he try to get a third term? Personally I think he will try. Between forty and fifty percent of his base would bring back the gladiators because they love to see people suffer. These people feel they are superior and Trump has suggested they are. Because of my age I am a short timer but younger progressives should face a possible reality. At some point the people who feel liberals are weak and it is their right to enforce their will by force will try. Trump has eluded to support for white supremacist's, neo-Nazi, and militia groups. You will also recall that he urged the police to bang people's heads in to cars door and to shoot immigrants in the leg if they cross the border. All of this may sound very pessimistic, but if these things transpire, the Liberal voice may be extinguished. At such a time, protests, vigils and speeches may have no, or little, impact. Liberal people will have two choices, either submit or fight. Which would you do?
