Good men will acknowledge that America is in decline and there's no going back.
The former "America" is now nothing more than a land mass populated by moochers, cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be redistributed to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.
The Democrats have won.
Good men will hunker down, stay under the radar, protect their families, and hide and protect whatever they can from the government and its enabling parasitic hordes. Good men will rise above the disgrace that surrounds them and live their lives productively for the benefit of their families and their children. Good men will continue to love and laugh and have some fun.
Some good men will retreat, sure. But the laws of nature are just, and social constructs will not be won by edict.
I fear you are right. However, a righteous man will always fight for what is good even as a wise man prepares.
Is it possible to be both?
