When Rome is burning, incremental change will not save Rome.

How is incremental change going to solve our massive problems?

[LexVegas]

1. Make America Great Again! nt

6. That's right

or you could always just tell the fire to 'cut it out' ... while giving $250K speeches to the arson wing of the local for-profit prison.

8. Yes, yes, we know what your hoping for....

And it does my heart good to see another politician relying on fear.

[Joob]

2. Good thing we're not burning, we're berning!

[vi5]

3. This presupposes the people in charge want to solve our problems.

"Our side" is no different than "their side" on this front. They have no interest in solving the problems that plague their constituents and Demographics because they want to keep us needing them.

See any and every "THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIMES!!!!!" crying wolf.

5. "Incremental change" is 1% code for "maintain status quo or tilt further right"

[Skwmom]

9. Exactly.

[Orsino]

7. It absolutely will not.

The Establishment will always paint an opposing agenda as too radical, and in a self-fulfilling prophecy render our ever-greater need for change as even more radical than that.
