Let it be known WE DO NOT CONSENT to the weakening of any Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

None of them.

Nor the rest of the Constitution for that matter, even if done under color of law.

And we have 300 million guns and billions of rounds of ammo. And we are not opposed to resolving our grievances outside the law if necessary.

Yes, but I see it as a hyperbolic curve. We were not perfect in the past, but at least, as a culture, we embraced many values with millennia of consistency. That was slowly changing, starting in the 50’s, but it has seriously ramped up the last 20, and especially the last 10 years. Trump’s election has created a veritable temper tantrum by the leftist globalists. If he wins in November, I suspect they will come absolutely unglued.

My only question is, when does it reach the “critical mass” necessary for the right to participate with the full force of their NRA membership. It is important for the silent majority to be “slow to anger”, but eventually, well, even they can say “enough is enough”.

The key is to ensure that they always have “too much to lose”.

Theoria asked "And when did we vote to be a minority in our own country?

When middle class American whites decided to stop having children. We voted by not raising enough kids in two-parent households, and by ceding the raising of the few children we do have to day care centers instead of households.

By doing that, we sentenced ourselves to eventual minority status. It's really that simple. No politician in the GOP would dare to stand up today and declare out loud "Stay together and have more babies to win in 2050!" yet that's exactly the message that needs to go out.

“But what will the left do if he wins?”

that indeed is the other side of the coin for the left ... i actually don’t think they’ll do much more than piss and moan and whine some more, though i expect their sporadic violence will be more frequent and perhaps intensify ...

i’d be somewhat surprised if any/many have the gumption, energy, and knowledge to reprise the kinds of horrific bombings and bank robberies pulled off by the Weathermen and the like.

on a more fun note, though, i expect that President Trump during his second term with both branches of Congress AND SCOTUS behind him will totally clean house and launch initiatives that make his first term look like kingergarten ... now THOSE things might drive the psychotic left into a true frenzy ...

SHTF is coming. It’s easy to see it. Our side isn’t going to sit by.

The United States is undergoing a transition perhaps no rich and stable democracy has ever experienced: Its historically dominant group is on its way to becoming a political minority.

I guess Rome never happened?

That was my first thought exactly. *LOL*

The Atlantic is finally figuring out the mass immigration is going to destroy the country. As was intended.

Rhodesia was once the “Breadbasket of Africa”, and Venezuela was the “Oil Capital of South America”. Now, they are just basket cases.

If you wish to play semantics, I would argue that the U.S. is not a democracy, and it has never been ‘stable’. There has a been a war between Federalists and Populists since Hamilton and Jefferson had their first disagreement.

No truth, no justice. No justice, no America. Sophisticated 3rd-world politicos with nukes.
