THAT is exactly my story!
Our forefathers were not that into capitulation, preferred over rebellion. To waste what they gave to me and trade that costly gift of liberty off in exchange for PEACE at any price is beyond my capability.
Rebellion is HARD and it’s scary, but if not I, then whom?

Love your mindset, Rita. That's the sort of spirit that birthed this country. I'm sure that your forefathers (and mothers) look down and smile with wizened approval and great pride upon their daughter.
It's a sad fact of the human condition, that most of us are simply too cowardly to stand firm on timeless principles of right and wrong. Even when not directly threatened with death or gross injury, most humans will blink and take the easiest way out of a stressful situation -- like a presidential election.
The elites understand them better than they understand themselves, and use their cowardice and moral weaknesses against them, by fronting false champions to garner their votes in our republican system of government. It's frightening, and even maddening, to watch them fall prey to such easy manipulation.
Should a day come when the bugle calls all patriots together for a last defense of the republic, I know that you will be there. So will I.
