I think it's about to get real.
There is no up side anymore. This isn't "fixable".
Our choices are "it get's real".
Or we live as second class citizens, getting doxxed, losing jobs, violence directed at us, ours and our property and eventually imprisonment for being enemies of progress or whatever they'll call it this time around.
I hope you are wrong but suspect you are right. Because conservatives are law abiding citizens the far left abuses us with outrages. Oddly if one looks at whom conservatives are, as a group they are well armed and many many of us are very proficient with firearms. If true law order and justice breaks down, patriots with guns will win.
I had a conversation with an officer friend of mine in the reserves. I asked him what would happen if Army Troops where ordered to do things that were extra constitutional. He said, "a few will obey, a few will just stay in their barracks, and a few will take off their uniforms and fight for the constitution."
This could get ugly and I pray it does not happen.
I am old and can not fight on the normal field of battle. I have been shooting since a young kid in West Texas 60 years ago. I possess fine weapons and 300 yards is not a problem. I am old but still a deadly sniper. I pray my weapons are never fired at another American.
THE CONSTITUTION IS WORTH DYING FOR.
PS
In the United States are about 15 million deer hunters. Most hunters are conservative law abiding citizens. If but 10% were willing to lay down their lives, you have 1.5 million skilled hunters who have all the qualities of a sniper at 300 yards. They also have the weapons and ammunition. Shots longer than 300 yards require weapons and scopes that most hunters do not possess.
