Ok let me be real clear then:

You believe that you live in democracy. You don't. There is nothing you can do to change the US with mild actions. The media will shut you down, just like they have done to the Occupy wall street movement. The country is an oligarchy right now and the result of this election could solidify that foundation even more.
The ultimate goal of the GOP is to privatize everything. They want a laissez faire state, and Americans all over the country are supporting this idea even if it is against their own interest, why, because they can't think critically.
The only way to change the US in my opinion is through some bloody revolution that I certainly don't want to take part of, or through the course of decades of intense protests.
