What the fuck am I supposed to do?
If I do anything non-violent to “rise up” against the government, it’s “not enough.” If I do anything violent, I put everything I have to care for at risk. I have a kid and a wife and a house and a mortgage and a job with a healthcare plan to be worried about.

I want trump and his corruption and his cronies gone. But I’m not going to put my child’s chance at a stable future at risk to make it so.

I will/do vote against him. I will/do protest. I will/do volunteer to help the victims of his shit policies. But I will not deprive my family of a husband/father/home. I can’t.

So if that’s not enough, I’m sorry. I want to do more but they’ve got us pinned down. We need “air support.” We may even need outside help.

Or to use my preferred way of phrasing it "I won't be first in line for the revolution, but you bet your ass I'll be third."

No, we need to get organized. That's the key
