In the case - It has to be done through an election.

Furthermore-Those of you European who dislike Trump-You can only hope the Americans will choose someone else as the next President(Biden) and not Trump.

There ain't anything else you can do-then having hopes(maybe pray)

Sounds like a lack of faith to me when people talk about revolt when they don't have it their way.

Guess it depends on who you are talking about.

Donald Trump visited his brother on Friday

Robert Trump, the younger brother of the US president, has died aged 72, the White House has confirmed.

"He was not just my brother, he was my best friend," Donald Trump said in a statement on Saturday.

The president had visited his brother in hospital in New York on Friday afternoon, telling reporters: "He's having a hard time."

Hopefully Pres. Trump will actually listen to reason, and not betray one of his country’s closest allies.

It does not. I don't know if that was Buddahaids intention, but his statement applies to everyone talking about revolt equally, whether they be on the left or the right.

Yes it does because you're assuming that revolt means the same thing to everyone and it doesn't. Like "war" and "resist" revolt is a general word that can mean just an angry statement right up to an actual shooting war and everything in between but until it gets to the latter stages it doesn't mean that there is no faith in the system.

Bush Question.

Forgive my ignorance here, I'm in the UK and not too well up on US politics etc.

I was just watching a movie and the Iraq war was mentioned and it showed clips of Bush and Blair, it made me think of when Bush Snr died some people got letters and they all seemed shocked especially Bush's younger brother when looking at them.

On YouTube there were dozens of theories what was in them, was it ever revealed or are they still a mystery?

Semantics... really? Also, that doesn't really change anything. Say Trump loses, which I don't think will happen, but let's say for the sake of argument he does. With all the rhetoric coming from Trump himself, about voter fraud and stolen elections, you think that doesn't erode the faith in the system to the point were people on the losing side will revolt, in whatever way shape or form, because they no longer trust the system?

Lots of things erode the system but erosion and loss of faith are two different things. But regardless I would say that the the people on Trumps side are a lot more law abiding and respectful of the system than the Resist Democrats.


Why do you worry about Trumps rhetoric and not theirs?

For the example I brought up it didn't really matter and I worry about it because he's the eff'in President.

How respectful of the system are active efforts of voter suppression by the way? I'd really like to know, although I don't really know what to believe about the whole USPS story, but in the same way revolt might not mean the same for everybody, the risks involved to voting in person might not be the same for everybody.
