There's not really a lot to say, other than "Where's our Pinochet when we need him?"

I know that sounds snarky, but 30+ years ago an Air Force academy graduate and MI specialist told me that he thought that eventually America would have to choose between a right-wing dictator such as Pinochet, or a Marxist oligarchy. This was in the late 80's when we discussed it.

To "fix this", after the socialists/Marxists have had nearly 50 yrs to infiltrate/control so many of the colleges/universities, would take a purge of huge dimensions.
Pinochet probably killed 3000 during his rule; mostly Marxists, union organizers, socialists, etc. It take at least 50 times that here, at this point.

An article originally posted by Termite on another thread answers your question quite well: https://americanmind.org/essays/revolution-2020/

The piece is well articulated and well thought out.

I tend to agree with the author's analysis of the possible scenarios.

An acquaintance at a recent (limited) gathering expressed that Biden's election is the only solution to this country's problems. To her surprise, I agreed with her.
