Thats why we shouldn't let the damage be done. Its time to quench the Tree of Liberty.
I think about it like this:
There's been a flash flood. A lot of people saw it coming, but the people who had the power to deploy heavy equipment and build good solid protections from the flood waters ... didn't.
All we "normies" have right now are shovels and an insufficient amount of sandbags, but the water is already here, and still rising, with no end in sight. Even where we can build up enough sandbags to slow the amount of water coming in, we don't even have any pumping equipment to drain what floodwater is already here.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't shovel. It does mean that we should still expect the flood to continue rising for a long time, and the eventual cleanup efforts to be long and messy. The Tree of Liberty will get its quenching, but probably not soon.
Your metaphor falls short with the Tree of Liberty sentence. And yeah, grab a shovel, and let's get to work.
This is the most apt comparison I've seen yet. Thanks I Hate it.
Also, the flash flood is raw sewage.
Always has been.
Pissing off the FBI and the CIA seems like a good way to kickstart that.
