Are you enthusiastic about scrapping nuclear arms control and disarmament treaties, threatening nuclear war, and preparing to wage it?
I confess that it's tempting to say that, if you truly approve of these oppressive practices and policies, maybe you deserve to live with them and the violent rightwing dystopia they will bring. But something within me-- some shred of hope, perhaps, about human nature-- says that maybe you're really not comfortable with them after all.
And if you're not comfortable with them, then it's time to open your eyes, rouse yourselves from your stupor, and vote as if the future of the United States and the world depends on it. Because it does!
