I think we need to make it clear that we see what is going on, and object. Even people who do believe they deserve Better are at a disadvantage against people with guns who believe they should be oppressed, and making the country aware that people are on the outside watching and objecting is far better than pretending it will go away on its own.

To use your own comparison, ignoring Nazi Germany and waiting for it to right itself would have simply given them license to continue to slaughter their version of undesirables and eventually conquer the world. It's important to be aware of what happens beyond our own boundaries.

(And clearly, your comments sparked something in me. :D )
