This is why the left is so motivated to get your guns or deny people access to ammunition. They know their end game, after the long slow takeover of the institutions, is absolute power and tyranny - total control over every institution and persecution of everything else. At some point- and I think we are since they have control over the bureaucracy and the media and their leadership like Nancy Pelosi have no loyalty to their country but travel to Europe for meetings of Socialist International and that ilk - there will be no legal recourse for justice, no legal elections, and these wanna-be dictators of the left know that final consolidation of power is the riskiest part of a communist takeover for them [if the unlikely event people wake up enough to resist.]
In a gun-free society the riskiest time to be a communist isn’t until long after the communists have taken power and destroyed the economy [something all communists are in denial about because they all believe this time will be different]... but in an armed society the riskiest time could potentially be earlier and the risk is always there so long as the guns and ammunition are. So future tyrants need to be careful to minimize risk, and part of being careful is to completely lock up speech and paralyze religion and make sure every gun owner is a lonely one [hence the desire to destroy or take over groups like the NRA]. If there’s no sense of freedom of expression there will be no organizing and without organizing there can be no meaningful resistance with even guns, and the country’s throat will effectively be cut even while there is ammunition aplenty to be had.
One of our problems is that totalitarians who move very deliberately can rely on the natural instincts of people to try to endure every insult and assault thinking it will be just be temporary, rather than risk their reputation, wealth and freedom to organize and confront tyranny in a timely manner.
We saw how easy it was for the left to drop the façade of “liberalism” and discard due process in the case of Bret Kavenaugh… as easily as white mobs used to drop it with blacks, storming town jails to pull the accused out for a lynching. So with enemies of the same mindset, we are either destined for slavery under socialism, with all the decay, misery and political prisons that entails...or we are going to have a civil war, with all the decay, misery and political prisons that entails. The leftists fully intend to push us to the brink and beyond but they of course hope to avoid open fighting and kill our society with lawyers.
Well said. We’re enduring mob mentality here among the citizenry. Their ongoing nastiness and high-jacking of institutions slowly erodes our liberty and discourages people from speaking out. It is lonely to be anything but a liberal D in our community and many others.
