I am 100% in like mind with this post.
But I think if we plan on protecting ourselves we need to be realistic about what we can expect.
Unless the commies slip up and move too fast they are going to get a lot of their goal by incrementalism. It’s worked for 40 years and it is still working. It helps having a completely compliant press working for them.
As far as the military (and the police and national guard) is concerned, “they” are methodically destroying the service from within at a very fast rate. That “most” would side with the people is still possible, but will not be for a lot longer.
Gun owners had better think long and hard, and be prepared to do what our founding fathers were willing to do. Are you willing to die? Because (IMO) it is going to come to that at some point.
I’m not being negative, or defeatist. It will come to that and we will have to demonstrate the incredible stoicism and character of our forefathers if we expect to have a chance.
My uniformed colleagues and I used to have some interesting discussions on the normally boring mid-watches. We would come up with a certain scenario and spend the next 3 or 4 days discussing how to best respond. I’ll bet we weren’t alone and I’ll also wager that’s still going on.
That advice is more appropriate for any would-be jackbooted thugs, than it is for patriotic, law-abiding American citizens, of which there are 90 million who are armed.
If the federales could somehow press all of the armed services personnel and every law enforcement officer in the country into confiscation duty, they wouldn't amount to more than about 5 million strong.
Even the most arrogant dictator would shrink from those odds.
Further incrementalism is their only choice, and they'd better be exceedingly careful as to what they say and do while they're at it. They're about two inches away from sparking something that they do not have the power to extinguish.
One major weakness of the eliminationist monsters inhabiting the White House is that they're impatient. They can almost taste the absolute power - the power to kill without consequence - that they are about to achieve.
Another major weakness is their blindness - fatal blindness to, and complete lack of comprehension of the core values that animate many of us: faith, family and freedom. These are things worth fighting for. They are also things worth dying for if it comes to that. Those who presume to rule us are godless monsters who care for nothing but the raw, naked exercise of power. The power to kill without consequence.
