“The problem is that no one is stepping into the leadership vacuum.”
Funny. I don’t remember that Patrick Henry stood around waiting for someone else to do the job he did. You’d think that with all the loudmouths, absolutism, declarative statements, and posturing that goes on on this site that there are 1000 FReeper Patrick Henrys out there, but there are not.
Apparently we are all perfectly happy to stand around jawboning about how we think things should be while waiting for someone else to do the job we should be doing ourselves.

I wouldn’t think that. I’m a keyboard warrior, same as most everybody else here.
I like the secession threads that totally overlook the fact that we can’t even manage to get a candidate we can agree on through a primary, and yet somehow we’re going to secede from the union.
I’m a middle aged white guy who has led a decent but mostly unremarkable life.
It’s fun to post here about revolution and secession and Patrick Henry because it’s a form of adult “Cowboys and Indians”
The reality is that I’m going to keep doing what I’ve always done and try to hold things together as best I can. Vote for the best option, pay my bills and try to put a little something back for a rainy day.
On another note, I’d be willing to bet that at least of the people here would be cheering these same policies if it were the GOP implementing them.
JMHO but a lot of this is just the same as sports rivalry and because it’s all anonymous it’s easy to daydream about what we would do if only.....(insert movie hero scenario here)
