Lmfao! Nope, not even close. The reason is, there are no patriots alive today. That stuff should have kicked off at Ruby Ridge in 92. Should have kicked off after Waco a year later. Should have kicked off after the cold blooded murder of LaVoy Finicum in Oregon. Should. Coulda. Woulda.
The reality is that the so-called militia/patriot movement in America consists of two factions: FedBois and middle aged, mildly successful paintball enthusiast meal team six types who think they look tacticool running around the woods in their airsoft gear.
Year after year, we sit back and allow the tyrants to erode our gun rights little by little. We allow them to erode the very foundations of this once great Nation. We do NOTHING.
The fact is that Americans prefer peaceful slavery over dangerous freedom. The people that have any morals or love for their Country love their big mortgages, fancy lifted truck payments, RTV/dirt bike/side by side/boats too much to lift a finger, because they know they lose all of that if they speak up. Quite similar to the Jews of the 40's. We said nothing because we were afraid of what it would mean to us, our families, so, we keep getting up, going to work in the morning, paying the bills and being the good little slaves that we are indeed.
Besides, the Founding Fathers gave us the way out. It's right there in the DoI, but its the part most people gloss over. I paraphrase: "Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed."
I can hear you already: "But dware, I DON'T consent to anything this government does!! How dare you insinuate such nonsense!" But here's the deal: You DO consent to this government, every time you walk into a gun store and submit to a background check to purchase a firearm. You consent to the crooked financial reserve by accepting and spending the fiat currency. You consent to the government every time you file your taxes. You consent to the current government by participating in its schemes.
The Founding Fathers gave us the way to abolish the government without a single shot fired or a single drop of blood being shed: Stop consenting. Thing is, people won't stop consenting because it would mean the end of life as they know it. The house, gone. The cars and toys, gone. All of it, gone, and in some cases, along with it, the wife and kids when you can no longer support them.
Do you honestly believe that a populace that won't stop consenting for a new form of government would actually put their life on the line???? Lol. If you do, your only kidding yourself.
“Lmfao! Nope, not even close. The reason is, there are no patriots alive today. That stuff should have kicked off at Ruby Ridge in 92. Should have kicked off after Waco a year later. Should have kicked off after the cold blooded murder of LaVoy Finicum in Oregon. Should. Coulda. Woulda.”
well Timothy McVeigh kicked it off.........

Exactly….to the people of SC, SD, Texas, and every other RED State, barring 2or 3 members of the Senate, the Senators of all the so-called RED States are the ones that have brought us to the point we are.
“What am I supposed to do, not vote? Then the Democrat will win”….show me where that has mattered in the last 20 years or so.
It’s the Big Club, as Carlin put it. It’s the UNIPARTY. It’s the Establishment.
All of this is happening because of our complacency and our misguided belief that Graham, Thune, McConnell, Rubio, etc etc will do better the next time.
"How California Destroyed its Middle Class (A Cautionary Tale)"
You have pretty much summed it up and yes, we had incidents to reclaim our freedom but didn’t, but I always thought there would be one moment where we would not allow it to stand. There was the one event, the one moment when I believe we had our LAST chance and that was the open, obvious and egregious theft of the 2020 election. Our votes were stolen, our freedom collapsed on J6 when we became afraid and did not revolt against the theft and imprisonment of those true patriots. The only mistake on J6 was that the entire Capitol building was not swarmed by the thousands upon thousands protesting in the streets.
I am a coward. I had twenty-three ancestors that fought in the American Revolution. (All farmers, militia). Ten on my mothers side and thirteen on my fathers. One would think my bloodline would provoke courage but it doesn’t.
