really, it does.
Because I love this country, and I realise how small the step is from where they’ve advanced now.

Pax Americana. More like Pox Americana.

I know what happened to Rome. I don’t want my country to be the new Rome, dammit!!

They’ll just be flash points for riots, inspiring thugs & looters who have no connection to the demonstration to go crazy and destroy shit. And then who does the destruction get blamed on? dammit
