“We’re just one election away from full-blown socialism,” a man recently said to me during a short conversation. This sentiment has become increasingly common lately, even, notably, among the previously apolitical. Yet something is overlooked:
In keeping with President Reagan’s observation, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction,” being one election away from tyranny means that not enough people noticed and took action when we were one generation away — or two or three.
Also perhaps overlooked is that being one election away from tyranny now means we’ll be one election away after the next election — whatever happens November 3. The point is that politics being downstream from culture (and, really, from morality, faith and philosophy), this isn’t merely a “moment.” It’s not a fashion. It won’t just pass. And we need be prepared for things to come.
I’ve often cited late Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov, who in 1980s interviews warned of “demoralization” — an undermining of a nation’s morality that makes it ripe for leftist revolution — in America. As a young man in my late teens or early twenties at the time, I didn’t know about Bezmenov (no Internet back then). But I’d recently become more intensely “politically” aware and quickly realized, and began telling people, that the West and the U.S. were in decline and gravitating toward tyranny. Oh, I did realize the republic’s demise was decades away.
Now I suspect it’s years away.
General Michael Flynn, whom, it’s clear, was targeted by the Creep State for being a good man, just warned that if we don’t act, two percent of the people are about to control the other 98 percent. But I’m here to tell you: Long term, voting won't save us.

The Republic has been effectively dysfunctional since the 1960s. The majority of people are only just starting to realize that now. The country is run by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats and judges who are, apparently, powerful enough that our elected leaders can’t touch them.
Pres. Trump may have some personality flaws and he should be a bit more thoughtful before doing his Tweets but if we don’t all go and vote for him and other Republicans running for Senate and the house, our America will become a liberal socialist high tax nightmare. VOTE TRUMP in 11/2020.
“Pres. Trump may have some personality flaws and he should be a bit more thoughtful before doing his Tweets
Sorry to disagree, but you couldn’t be more misguided.
He is a fighter. He fights. That is what he is doing, fighting. THAT is what we need.
When it’s time to burn this all down and start over, we’ll be the ones lite the match, NOT BLM.
And remember, Revolutionaries rarely survive post
revolution. Abilities that got them there no longer apply.
As Michael says in G3 (yes, the worst one. Sophia was an anchor.) “I don’t need more tough guys; what I need is more lawyers.”

That senile leftist puppet comes to power ...
I can see a Constitutional Reformation happening in response (I wont call it a “Revolution” as it will be more America VOMITING UP and RIDDING ITSELF of the LEFTIST POISON.

I agree with all you say except that the majority of people are just starting to realize the situation. I'd change that to "a very small minority." Most simply won't accept the obvious reality.
Scottish philosopher Alexander Tyler of the University of Edinburg in 1887.
Tyler wrote, “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up to the time the voters discover that they can vote for themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
In 1968, American sociologists and political activists at Columbia University devised the Cloward-Piven Strategy to implement a crisis by overwhelming the U.S. Public Welfare System. This was done so government could gain control of the entire political and social welfare system through its default of financial obligations, and usher in a new aggressive socialist policy.
Increase taxes and regulations of all sorts, and you only exacerbate the problem. Factor in the language engineering of social justice and equality, you have a formula few understand is the agenda of the global elites.
This has been the model used to gain control. By overwhelming the system, there is a new crisis weekly that deserves attention by Congress and policymakers. However, with the constant onslaught of crisis situations thrust upon law-makers in Congress, nothing is able to get accomplished. When the problems are no longer even remotely manageable, legislation will come that will destroy our way of life and bring us to a place we have never been before.
Social unrest will be the norm. Out of chaos will come a New Order—that is the agenda being deliberately and strategically implemented.
“The Republic has been effectively dysfunctional since the 1960s.”
I’d say you are being about a century too generous in your assessment.
In fact, this is the fault of Republicanism..
Always interested in being polite and inoffensive instead of being right.
The leftists want to have “an honest conversation on race in america” Republicans will never give them one.
What’s required at this point, is pushing back hard, on issues like abortion, LGBTQRSTOMGBBQ behavior in public, morality and accountability. God must lead, but are we the men to follow Him?
Personally, I like Trump’s combative personality.
The one thing I would fault Trump on is some of his personnel selections.
But then, he didn’t have an entourage of political insiders to draw on.
Heck, it took Lincoln three years to find a winning team of generals: Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and the hugely underrated George Henry Thomas.
Thomas, we should remember, was a Virginian who took his oath as a loyal officer seriously. He paid a severe personal price, but history has vindicated him as the one general in that terrible war who never lost a battle.
One would hope that more George Thomases emerge during this crisis — people willing to put their country first, whatever their personal circumstances.
Right now, only DJT and a handful of others like Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Devin Nunes seem to fit that description.
But considering that most people are followers, sometimes a handful of leaders are all that’s needed.
“If that unfortunate thing comes to pass :”
There will be Civil War II. It will be short, sanguinary,
and purge Socialist/Communist/Marxist Domestic Enemies of the Constitution/Republic from our Society/Country. There will be atrocious excesses, no doubt, but, as with the First Civil War, it will be of Democrat origin.
Our Military will remain aloof, keeping Foreign Enemies of the Constitution from exploiting the situation militarily.
There will be violence regardless of who wins the election, but if it is stolen by the Dems, and We the People revolt,
at least when the dust settles, it will ALL be over, without any festering sores to deal with.
I see it as pretty much inevitable. We the People, have pretty much had about all we can take.
BEWARE THE ANGER OF A PATIENT MAN!!!
PING!

It’s been said.... You can vote Socialism in at the ballot box. But you cannot vote it out.
If feel-em-up joe is elected, his controllers will implement their agenda, and then discard him. Then it’s all over.
Yep, I know I’m speaking to an echo chamber, but a vote for Biden is a vote to end the USA.

There are probably at least a hundred million voters who have been so ideologically blinded by academia and the lying news media that they are INCAPABLE of believing that fundamental FACT which has become a mortal threat to their very lives. PITIFUL BUT TRUE!
