re: How does an honest freedom loving citizen have a chance

Deny support to things you think are bad:
- stop giving money to any political party
- stop voting for incumbents, there's about 10 that should be re-elected at the federal level, IMO
- do everything you can to avoid giving money to businesses that are a problem
- resist the woke at every turn
- in short, deny support of any kind to the things you feel are a problem

Focus on good stuff:
- do everything you can to improve yourself
- vote for new candidates with good ideas that are not wedded to the establishment
- reinforce what you find to be wholesome like family, religion, and so forth
- then, find like minded people to enjoy your time with and help keep you sane

We still have time, probably one or maybe two more Presidential elections. If we don't reverse course by the 2028 election, times are probably going to get really bad for everyone, and perhaps well before.

A lot of people say, "just let it collapse and let the lead fly already, get it over with"...I'm really trying to get people to make changes and believe, have hope, and go at this the right way. If our society collapses and gets violent, it's going to be a real nightmare. Our families will suffer. Food will be scarce. Medications might disappear. Medical care might be denied in whole or just difficult to get. Fuel will likely be shut off. Electricity throttled, internet severed. We could be transported to 1950 with a quickness.

How dare you quote a document which is explicitly declared the supreme law of the land???

I don't wonder how the Branch Davidians ended up in their circumstance anymore. The stupidity of most of the electorate can't even get past "what happens when your guy isn't in charge." Louisiana is generally among the worst, but (D) and RINO are next in line.

Be the grey man. Just disappear. That's what I'm doing in my corporate gig, social media (essentially non existent since I got married to my ex), etc. My biggest problem now is the scraping of my financial transactions that happens by Experian, Venmo, PayPal, CreditKarma, USAA, and others. I can fix those, and will pay as many people in cash as I possibly can.

You don't. You can stay freedom loving, but being honest has to be situational. Can't take the high road against those intent on taking the low road. Have to be one step ahead and thrice as mean. Being nice is not the same as being moral or honest. You have to be willing and able to do what needs to be done to protect you and yours.

Good answer. I'll add guns, ammo and food rations. A fortified family compound wouldn't hurt either, but your initial statement is the most important.
