So many people complacent

I am pretty active in my local political scene. And it is disheartening how hard it is to get people that are ideologically aligned to get involved and do anything. Even more so if it involves having to put themselves out there in any way in the public. Usually the only way we can get anyone motivated is if it is something that directly affects there lives in a very immediate way, such as vaccine mandates, but even that is pulling teeth.
I really believe if about 15-20% of Americans really were motivated to take back this country, it could happen in about a week or so.
And I am not even talking about needing to resort to violence or anything of that nature. Our leaders and elites are weak, pathetic, cowards and have no charisma whatsoever. They are living in a castle made of sand, that could be taken down any time if people wanted to take it down .

There is no fire in their bellies. They will cry loudest when all goes to shite.

I got extremely upset at seeing some of my "Catholic" friends disown the abortion bill on social media. Sick

such as vaccine mandates
And then posters will come to this thread in droves talking about how others aren't willing to fight, but all 99.9% of them have done is post on this message board about it. And the cycle will go on...

That's because there are very real and punishing consequences for putting one's self out there in public these days. It can very easily cost you your job, friendships, education, freedom, etc. all for espousing "wrong think". Not to mention, the social media companies will ban your account so your voice can't be shared anyways.
If you're not self-employed, HR departments in professional companies are often hyper vigilant about rooting out vocal, politically active conservatives. If you are self-employed, you have to worry about local government thugs shaking you down, pulling your permits, or losing contracts with major customers, web hosters, or suppliers.
I mean look what happened to the folks who went to protest in DC. Even the ones who didn't walk through the open doors of the capital have been hunted down, harassed, had their businesses destroyed, been arrested, etc.
We are reaching the stage where dissent goes from being shamed to criminalized, and there is likely nothing we can do to stop it.
People aren't complacent, they're scared, and for good reason. You should be scared too.

When China puts a hit out on our power grid & these liberals lose their minds when they can't charge up their laptops & smartphones & have AC/Heat, then they will understand what we have been trying to warn them about all along.

The Catholic Church is such a joke anymore and I say that as a Catholic.

The sad part is that a lot of voters don't even vote in the primary . If just 50% of republicans voted in the primary we would take over 80% of the school boards . I don’t see how people can be so lazy .

One must realize that they will be killed for their actions and come to some acceptance of that. All signers of the declaration of independence knew.
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.

Too many people consider Trump the savior and he isn't going to save anything. He may change a few things but even he has alluded to the fact that the people will need to stop this.
Be your own hero and quit waiting for one to save you. Nobody is coming to save you.

Well we are all going to die. Who wants to tell their kids on their death bed they would have stopped communism, but they didn't want to lose that sweet job with the 401K.

We can be conservative and still see things differently. We are on the same side but disagree on major issues. So it’s not all “one sides scared” as you’d like to think.

Conservatives can disagree with other conservatives without fear. Disagreeing with the media narrative in any way shape or form, especially by vocalizing, not even support, but a failure to condemn something that is even perceived as the slightest bit right of center, is now practically a criminal act punishable by all means of malady.

No they won't.
They will just blame it on someone else.
That is what they do, they deflect.
No personal accountability.
They want the government to make all their decisions for them so it's not their fault.

That's because the people on the right do not desire change and it doesn't register with them that it is now necessary to be active and fight to keep things the way they want and have had for decades.
The progressive leftoids demand change and will do their part to make that change happen. They know just talking won't bring about change so they dive in and take action.

People only care about their bubbles and don’t think anything from the outside affects them until it does. They don’t want to expend any energy saving their country, because they’re too stupid and blind to notice it’s turning to shite.
