The obvious question that begs to be asked is - why do we take it??

We’re supposedly the gun loving tough guys, yet we act like wimps.

Where are our protests? We’re letting Trump fight this war all alone. Why are they organized and we’re not?

Because we'd be wasting a lot of ammo if we didn't and they're not worth wasting ammo on...

Did you miss out in the events of 2016?

All three branches of government taken. Supreme Court protected.

If that’s taking it, I’ll take it.

These are million dollar questions. I’ve said for years that conservatism is the lazy man’s political philosophy. Where we got the idea that listing to AM talk radio and buying “more ammo” was all you needed to do to have “participated”.

Where you sit on your ass and look at the left protesting something and dismiss your own lack of activism as “Well I have a job”, as if everyone on the left is unemployed.

Where you can win an election, but then you kick back and treat the aftermath like a “fun” show to watch and not a thing that requires constant diligence and participation, only to then scream and yell about the “wimps” and RINOs responding to the leftist protestors that are in their face and not just doing what you want when you dont bother to pick up a phone, show up, or anything else.

Where too many on our side is expecting Trump to just magically make things happen, while the left controls the street and makes hell all over, and too many here just shakes their fists at the computer screen.

And despite the lack of ability to even just show up and show support for the guy that is working his ass off, people here actually think they are going to be in an actual shooting war! Like if marching with a cardboard sign is too hard, how is anyone here going to manage to go out into a warzone?

The right needs to start taking this stuff far more seriously and give up some of that leisure time to make sure our voices are heard.

Many of us have jobs and lives and no time for protest.

The army of the left is an army of good-for-nothings and lay-abouts, rising up out of their parents’ basements looking for a riotous good time.

We are all geographically separated. The fascist democrats won’t do that shit in Alabama. They are fighting in their own back yards.

I think we did our part in the election. We can continue the fight through our checkbooks until the next election.

The Left would LOVE to draw us out into the street for a pitched battle. That's the last thing we should do. I also think the police need to exercise restraint as the anarchists would love to claim to be victims of police brutality. Like Scott Adams wrote a few days ago, the Trump-Fascist claim becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. We must not take the bait.

I no longer bother to correct them in the office, on social media or in social settings. They run on pure emotion and are utterly impervious to reason. Besides, they argue from facts cooked up by the controllers of the media narrative. It would be easier to convince a North Korean of the reality of Kim Jung-un's regime. At least the North Korean didn't volunteer to be brainwashed.

Like a whiny brat, Leftists need to be ignored. It won't be easy but it will be like "heaping coals" upon their heads. We are winning.
