And until you actually get that revolution started, sitting around and talking about it while blaming EVERYONE ELSE, is just as helpful as the people watching Fox News every day.

Again, I get it. And I support your revolution, but until you're ready and willing to actually start it, you should support mine.

That's fantastic! Great idea just jumping in and letting the gameplay decide their roles! My 11 year old seems interested. I better start getting at it before she outgrows me!

That's really fun!

Can I ask how old the kids are, and how many are playing? I've tried with mine for a while, but it's been difficult to keep them interested beyond session 0.

My brother got me the new Handbook, and I'm itching to get back into it.

I won't disagree with really any of that, and I'm not completely against the idea of total revolution, but revolution requires people.

In November, 30% of people didn't bother to vote at all, and another third voted for fascism.

How bad will it have to get before people care?

How much worse than THAT, will it take to get MAGA to realize they fucked up?

At that point you might have enough people to actually do something, but also the restrictions on freedom will have gotten stronger, and there will be strong measures in place to prevent dissent.

It may be inevitable, but I don't want to live in that country. And if I can hold it off long enough that my children don't have to live in it, maybe they can turn things around. I see a lot of potential in these kids. They can do a lot of good once the Boomers die off.

Let's slow the bleeding as much as possible before going straight to amputation.

That statement right there implies that you are probably one of the 30% of Americans that could have stopped Trump just by voting for the next best feasible option.

Don't get me wrong, that was me the first time he ran, I was similarly disillusioned when I felt like Hillary cheated Bernie. So, those first four years. Those were on me.

I hope you enjoy all the "progress" these next four bring, because those are on YOU.

You better go fix it then.

I don't think so. They'd be too afraid of being labeled a heretic. The most common position seems to be "I'm religious, but not THAT religious."

As soon as someone knows you're a ninja, you're not a ninja.

Yeah! I member!

It's not weird at all. We all do this.

But...

If you do it ALL the time, you're not accepting any responsibility for your own actions. You'll never learn from your mistakes or improve your behavior. Your brain chemicals may have let you down, but what are YOU going to do to prevent that in the future? What action of YOURS caused those brain chemicals to fail?

If we don't count cruises and one day port visits, I might not have any living family members who have ever left the US.

Although, I had one half of my family all move to the South, so they bring back various accents when they visit.
