Admiral James Stockdale, reflecting on his 7+ years spent checked-in at the Hanoi Hilton, described our situation well:
This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end - which you can never afford to lose - with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

Too many people in America have put all their faith that this people and it’s institutions that have been wholly corrupted will correct this overthrow of our Constitutional Republic by those now in power via the ballot box and peaceful means.

They refuse to confront the most brutal facts of our current reality- because to do so means they would have to own up to a duty that few to none of them want to risk.
