  1. "If Trump has to burn down America, then so be it. People just aren't going to learn any other way. we tried reason and compassion." In theory, I agree with this. There's a lot of wrong thinking in America: logical fallacies, racism, xenophobia, politics based on idealism, politics as entertainment, etc. In order to learn how wrong we're doing, how immoral and insane our society has become, we'd have to see it burn down, nothing but ashes, to realize and accept how wrong we have been. That assumes we'll do better, once we've clawed our way back to civilization; it assumes we WILL claw our way back, that other countries won't pounce on us, that the militia groups, escaped criminals, or even our next door neighbors won't run amok; and it assumes that, when we've returned from anarchy, at the best, and complete destruction, at the worst, that our new leaders will be any better than anything else we've seen; and, finally, it assumes that, even if we start with good new leaders, wise founders, that we won't return to being stupid, immoral classes of citizens who hate each other. But we've already seen how that goes. No. We cannot let it burn. We must move forward with what we have, and, as Lincoln said, "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
