Many of us saw this coming decades ago.

That is THE reason for my moniker, having registered here in 1998.

I am hearing the word secession more and more on FR. AND, I agree. There is no way we, Conservatives, can survive in this political climate and there needs to be some serious push back (on our shoulders).

Oh for crying out loud...
Here we go again...

I’m an old man, I can’t protest or sit in a foxhole..
But, I can speak with my pocketbook.
I have at least a dozen boycotts going right now, and I just added anything out of New York.

Commies don’t have money, but I do.
And I will use it as a weapon.

If Washington DC were to dissolve in a bath of thermonuclear fire, that would truly be the Great Reset.

Republicans confuse words with action.

They think their verbal bullets will deter the Democrats but they have the opposite effect.

Democrats know weakness when they see it.

Until that changes, nothing will change.

In this political climate there is no common ground.

We want freedom, they want control.

There’s no way to bridge that fundamental ideological chasm.

“If you really love the norms, you need to burn the norms village to save it.”

Agreed

Time to let it all burn . . .

This chaos is being allowed to happen for a reason.

To allow a “savior” to come along and solve it. Only to find out in the end, the “cure” will be even worse than the “disease”.

Another data point proving the experiment of the 19th amendment was a mistake. Just as was the 10th. The law of unintended consequences strikes yet again.

10th should be 18th. Finger moved right instead of left.

They have controlled education for decades, and we see what that has “wrought” (rot) on our great nation. The Department of Education should be disbanded, and conservatives need to get a much-needed hold on school boards all across the country. Would take decades to change things but better than letting it all go down to total destruction.

I don’t disagree with you. Getting rid of the Dept of Education is a great first step

My wife, our siblings, in laws are in our late 70’s to 80 something.

We cut our cables about a decade ago and never watch liberal G$ tv from fake news 24/7, to their propaganda posing as a entertainment. We stream older tv shows, which are not B$!

Our kids, gk’s and nieces/nephews have all gone to private junior high and high schools. Then, off to good STEM colleges or good Trade Schools. with the exception of the final two kids in a great private high school.

Our tv sets are about a decade old, our smartphones are not Apple B$ or Google.

We still fit into our decade old clothes.

Instead of two vehicles, we have one. My wife’s 14 year old Lexus.

My wife reviews the ads for our local grocery stores, and I try to buy what is on sale. Once a month, we order sameday delivery from Costco and buy as much that is on sale as we can from their monthly sale mailing.

Eating out is very expensive, so, we don’t do it.

This is how we are saying “Hell No!” to the fascist controlled corporations.

This piece is from a couple days ago, but I haven’t seen it posted here. Kurt is right and many here have stated the same over the past few days. We have got to stop taking the “high road” and resting on our “principles”. That attitude is what has allowed our nation to get to this point.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I could not agree more, and with Kurt’s strategy in mind we should be making full throated demands that the politicians who claim to be on our side, especially our presidential candidates, immediately begin full scale assaults on each and every Leftist attack upon our country’s traditional culture and values. Silence is our enemy, and we must demand that these politicians either start playing hardball or get the hell off the field!

Leftists must be treated with contempt for their self centered infantilism.

“Sometimes responding to attack IS cool per heads prevailing.”

Very perceptive comment.
