If they had spines, they would understand that the best way to prevent this kind of shit from happening is to stand up in full force and make it painful and uncomfortable for the bullies to continue while broadcasting all of their actions on every news platform and media station that they can get a hold of.
I want them to have spines. This is an exhortation for their spinal columns to stiffen up.
Democratic politicians need to fucking stand up and start kicking ass and getting violent, if need be, in order to protect America.
The ones that don't need to get axed and replaced by younger blood that wants to prove itself.
All I'm saying is that if they're already at the point of whining about it right now, they are going to be completely and totally unprepared when it actually becomes a full-on authoritarian regime.
The only thing that bullies understand is raw power. If they don't flex their raw power, it will be taken away from them.
They are the people literally appointed by us to do this. They need to get going.
I remember reading somewhere that the maximum amount of sleep debt that you can accumulate is something on the neighborhood of 20 hours.
Basically, by the time you have rested up 20 hours, whatever excess of sleep debt you had over that will be erased along with it.
That's not to say that sleeping an extra 20 hours in a single go is a good or achievable thing, or that it would somehow magically undo all of the accumulated fatigue and wear from denying yourself that much sleep over that long of a time period.
Only that by the time you have accumulated an additional 20 hours of sleep by sleeping like an extra hour a day for three weeks that physiologically, there would be no continued improvement in your functioning by continuing to sleep extra.
I mean, as far as it actually goes, you have have slept enough, then you have have not slept enough, and that goes through a range of a "little tired" to "dead".
The real answer is that as long as nothing becomes violent, the only thing that they can really do is to slowly Take away the supports of the people that are relying on them and provide information that might be harmful to potential employers to increase the number of people that are subservient to the state or otherwise financially incapacitated.
If it becomes violent, then they can use that information to identify the easiest targets for them to take out first And the people most likely to provide resistance should they be given time to gather together.

I got involved in a argument between two older people about whether the earth rotated or not.
The very strange thing is that after I confirmed to them that the earth did indeed rotate and that is why the sun would rise in the east and set in the west, that was the end of the conversation and they thanked me and moved on.
I personally think it's like a short circuit in the brain's reward circuit or something. If you can convince people that what they are doing is achieving a greater good, they will do an endless amount of evil in order to achieve it.
Those that wake up from this delusion often end up being horrified at their own actions.
It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway:
If you are anticipating being enriched by the suffering of others, you are not in the right.
I mean, David literally had a thousand wives and concubines and he still had to go and fuck one of his best soldiers' wives.
He got her pregnant and then orchestrated the guys desth to cover up his sin, the baby was cursed to die, and the second the baby died, he was just like, "Okay, cool, I'm over it" and he's still considered the beloved of God.
The gist of the story is that people that are pointed to high places and have heroic unbelievable achievements can make horrible mistakes and still be forgiven by God as long as they repent.
Nobody is perfect, not the undefeatable giant Goliath, nor the beautifully-hearted musical genius hero warrior king David of Israel.
Anybody whose understanding of David stops at, He killed Goliath with a slingshot" doesn't deserve any sort of authority when it comes to interpretation of the Bible.
That would actually be pretty great. Everyone having some experience with having to deal with the hassles and pains of common civil service would be a wonderful eye-opener.
One of the fundamental issues is that it's just people.
People are going to talk about things like people do, and just because it ends up looking like Reddit or whatever doesn't mean that this is a bad thing.
It just means that format is one of the ways that people tend to communicate.
