so you want us to plan a real insurrection to prevent the politicians from destroying America?

Last I checked, they took out Trump... "whatever it takes"

we're just trying to earn a living, pay taxes, mow grass, raise our kids...

we're doing our job

Throughout the course of human history there have always been periods of great suffering, followed (eventually) by better times. That has definitely been the case in the US. Perhaps the people of this country NEED to experience a little bit of pain. Often times that puts things in perspective and allows for the appreciation of the good times. For FAR too long our leaders and society have done everything possible, often at the detriment to society, to attempt to eliminate consequences for poor decisions. Human nature is to live, make mistakes, then learn from those mistakes. Here, you can be a complete frick up, make countless poor decisions, and remain completely unaccountable for your constant poor decisions while society tells you it is ALWAYS someone else's fault. All that leads to is continued poor decisions...that almost always negatively affect someone else.

Bad times absolutely suck. I hate it for children primarily. But, perhaps, that is necessary to make people, particularly in the US, realize none of this was necessary.

DGAF what other people think; that is the FIRST hurdle to knowing the Truth. And that is essentially why and goes to the point of your frustrated OP narrative. The vast majority DO CARE what others think of them; such that they censor the dialogue which precedes action. The tyrannical Left knows this, and with the support of the MSM, employs the public spotlight to hammer the DC politicos into submission. Trump was the first to openly attack back in kind; that is what outrages the 'Never-Trumpers'. He's a rogue, and not a team player.

There are calamitous scenarios that cannot be avoided even though we see them coming; think Titanic. The societal consequences of the historically unique (Individual/God-given) Freedom that this Nation has manifest and enjoyed (many, certainly not all) since our Founding, is extraordinary. The brighter the light, the darker the contrast of dark. In this very complex technological progression, we as a Human Family must address the 'weakest links' in our societal chain, per Jesus' exhortation of mercy, if we desire His Mercy.

We are not "dumbasses" uk, we are just assuming our place on the 'Titanic', as we sail to our destiny. Many here are Bible Thumpers, and we are well aware of the Prophetic scenarios. The steel (Human character) is hardened to perfection in a hot fire. No pain, no gain. That is truth. Such will only make our ultimate victory and reward all the more satistying.

Note: I truly fear said pain, as I have chosen to love without limits, and am highly vulnerable. I ultimately depend on Jesus' promise of The Holy Spirit when the pain becomes unbearable such that I would go rogue. The Human body's pain/nerve system kicks out at a certain point of suffering; it is likely the same with our Psyche. It may well be that that "kicking out" will be the "Rapture". We will change from a 'Worldly' being to that of 'Spirit'. From a solid world to a dream world. Speculation. CYA.

Lord have mercy on them who love.

It will Al come to a head. Like many times before. This is just another time we’re currently in. It’s gonna suck, but everything will work out! Might have to cap a few on the way but whatever it takes, we’ll be fine!

I knew we were done when we lost the military.

That was really the only hope. The leftist knew it. That's why Obama purged it.

This rolling stone is picking up a lot of steam very fast

Literally none of what you are talking about in this drivel is the case right now.

We Americans have lived very comfortable lives especially post WWII. Around the 1960s (LBJ) the great society began to erode, our politicians began selling us out wholesale for their own benefits.

We "suddenly" find our country is not the secure, comfortable, and safe place that we thought would last indefinitely.

But, we still have (for the most part) good incomes, mortgages, car notes, etc...We also are still in positions to provide food, clothes, and activities for ourselves and our children.

My belief is although the "reality and seriousness of where we are heading" has not "sunk in" sufficiently enough to make us so uncomfortable that we are ready to risk or give up our comfortable lives to affect change at this point. We likely never will.

In general, we have become a soft society. We are not the same "salt of the earth" patriots that people were before the 1960s.

I believe the country we knew and the lifestyles we enjoyed have already been lost and gone forever.

This right here is dead on.

For those of you selfish fricks who keep falling into "what could I have done" land, just think about what you really know about your local politicians.

Who are your alderman? How do they vote? When do they vote? When was the last time you looked at the agenda or attended a meeting? Are they conservative with your money?

What about those sitting on your police juries? Who are they? How do they vote? Do they play games with your money?

Your local assessor? Sheriff?

Is it starting to click that you don't know shite about shite, and your head has been jammed up your arse?

So, hang on. Good retirements, no food shortages, no global war, and you guys are panicking? "100's of examples of corruption, at all levels" ... because that's new now?

The paranoia some of you spread is what needs to be managed.

I have a good friend/business associate who flew to Ukraine the week before the invasion to get his Neice. When he got back he told me that the people in Ukraine weren't worried about Putin invading but were doing their normal thing, and that all the drama was "fake news". Fast forward a week, and they are living in the street or fleeing en masse.

Moral of story: "Take heed that ye stand lest ye fall". We have serious issues looming.
