For one thing, the pretend patriots backing the media moron known as Donald Trump are mostly cowards, and he knows it more than most.  A few of them will show up with their side-arms, as if that matters, at certain events, like they did at the birth of the so-called TEA Party.  So what?

For another, both candidates are sock puppets---How does a thinking person gauge their obedience to a political process under the relative pall of a police state?  Carefully.  

If Trump wins, it will totally disarm the crazies who think he's one of them---If he loses, they'll be up against the combined might of the biggest military power the earth has ever known, and I don't think he's done a lot to win over the folks with cooler heads, the keys in their hands, and their fingers on the actual triggers.  But who knows?  Stranger things have happened...

It's about the fight, it's about the money, and yeah, our democratic institutions are being carefully unraveled under the dust cloud with our blessing.
