I could make a good case that for the last eight years so many of us have gone Galt the phase of passive resistance is behind us already. There are requirements for non violent resistance to work. A critical mass of the population for whom morality is important for one, and a media that will carry that message to them. Neither of which is in place in the US at this time. We, the persecuted, are the ONLY demographic in the US presently for whom morality is relevant and of the evil of gummint we are convinced. I think at some level the folks out here in flyover country are aware of these things even if they can not explicitly articulate them. Hence the sales of guns and ammo. These are not things one stocks up on in anticipation of non violent resistance.
The conservatives in this country have been conned by so-called “conservative media” for too long.
Just like the infiltrators in the ranks out West, they talk a tough line, then sell us out praising RINO politicians like Marco Rubio. Rubio was endorsed by Ted Cruz last month..how quaint.
The talk show hosts like Levin and Beck outed themselves as RINO Corporatist fronts with their relentless opposition to Trump earlier this year.
