Let us say Trump runs and loses in November and civil strife is stirred up. How should the leaders of the religious fanatics be treated? If he wins and does take over and does what we all fear, then leaves office on his own, dies, or is himself thrown out and the US is taken over by pro...

We spend trillions of dollars on all things military. People who own all kinds of businesses make lots of money making military hardware, ect. Why couldn't a lot of that money be turned around and spent on universal healthcare, university education for all, maternity leave for mothers, ect...
