My point of logic is simple. The current moment is the last time it will be this easy, efficient or perhaps even possible. Everyone seems bent out of shape with fear of some bloody and endless civil war as if the secession issue of the 19th century was somehow comparable to this mob takeover. That was a quaint and isolated affair when set against today's Trump 2.0.
