If once a person indulges in insurrection;

Very soon they think little of lynching our duly elected representatives;

And from lynching our duly elected representatives they inevitably will join in a Tiki torch parade some late summer’s evening,

And from that they will easily transition to submitting opinion pieces to the local newspapers about why some books should be banned in public libraries

And  from that they will start asking city council’s why the public should spend public money to accommodate anyone who identifies as Transgender;

And from that they will transition to daily grumbling with a fellow malcontent over coffee about the latest conspiracy contrivance;

and from that to incivility and procrastination.

Once begun upon this downward path of insurrection, you never know where you are to stop.

Many an insurrectionist can date their ruin from inciting some government overthrow or other that perhaps they thought little of at the time.
