"Dear diary,

I am soooooo depressed today.....
It's extremely cold and I just feel like my troops hearts aren't in it anymore....

Ye Mainstream Media are constantly touting polls that show the Revolution is EXTREMELY unpopular.....

The same pollsters show that in the Colonies, King George has an approval rating of 80%, while my approval rating is barely above 20%....

Last night, one of the militia accidentally killed one of our Indian scouts who got drunk and stole some corn, so NOW a group called ILM are threatening to abandon the cause....

I feel like I can't possibly go on, diary.....

What should I do?"

I like what you tried to do here.

Ignore the haters and keep posting.

This is actually poignant. I see posts from Conservatives saying to give up on the internet, give up on Trump, give up America...

How bout we simply stand our ground?! We don't need to rally, storm "CHOP" zones, whatever... we just need to not change our core beliefs. To RAISE our children instead of letting society raise them for us. To RAISE them to believe right from wrong. RAISE them to believe in the America our Founding Fathers created.

And most of all, to let them know that standing for your beliefs is much more courageous than giving in to the mob.

The OP is right. Washington did not give up. He BELIEVED in his cause. And so should we.

Cheers to the OP.

Very reasonably satire shining light on the current insanity -

Many of the inmates have enough later intelligence left to know when they are being made fun of.

Keep up the effort - you have legions of like-minded patriots with similar thoughts.

Imagine if he had been a quitter like half the doom-and-gloomers all up in here posting lately.

I say half because the others (at least half) are obvious shills...
