Conflicted About The Future (Vanity)
2/24/19 | Week71

Posted on 02/24/2019 8:31:25 PM PST by week 71

Is our country going to see renewal or continued distortion? There are many promising things that have happened in the last two years (economic boom, lowest unemployment rates for minorities, missiles are not being tested in North Korea, Jerusalem is where the U.S. embassy is, welcome to all legal immigrants and great steps to stop illegal immigration, ect,ect,ect... Yet the toxic leaders of culture and the NPC's appear to be maintaining their influence. I observe the masses enjoying the influence of conservative policy while at the same time see so many in perpetual outrage. Appears these interesting times could go from 'interesting' to alarming in the next year.

Things could stay kinda the same.

We should be very concerned about what happens when Donald Trump leaves the White House.

The country will never be united again.

Something has to give because we cannot peacefully coexist with people who are a threat to our safety, prosperity and freedom and who want to destroy us and our way of life.

Something has to give.....

You’re a genius!! :)

Though your words are quite accurate as no one knows.

But I look at the 2000 elections and it’s not like Bush won 70/30.

He won by a few thousand votes in Florida.

So for ALL of the indoctrination and one sided MSM attacks and the attempt to DESTROY out youth, 16 years later we won the presidency by a larger margin. (5 million illegal votes distort the true outcome of the 2016 election)

So I am actually hopeful.

What concerns me is Trump is not immortal and though I would like him in office until his last breath, he gets two terms.

I DO think he will win next year. I think it will be a larger margin than last time.

After 2024, who steps up will be a HUGE matter.

we are in totalitarian times....TRump has stopped that progression for now...

“May you live in interesting times.”

And:

May your deeds come to the attention of the authorities.

May you get what you deserve.

“we’re going to have to all move to areas where our kind.”

Maybe that’s part of the problem. We tend to quit, to promote quitting, to cut and run, leaving the field to the other side.

If we all move to areas with “our kind”, why do you think we can, even as the majority, keep those areas when we can’t keep what we’ve got?

If we go back to the Founding, per Wiki between 40 and 45 percent of the white population in the Thirteen Colonies supported the Patriots' cause, between 15 and 20 percent supported the Loyalists, and the remainder were neutral or kept a low profile.

Per Pew, Solid Liberals (read: Loyalists) make up about 16% of the nation, 42% identify as Republican/Conservative-leaning folks (read: patriots), and the balance are ballast. Thus, we haven't really changed much over the years.

The problem, per se, is that Solid Liberals punch above their weight in being Politically Active more than Core Conservatives. Many people who allegedly cherish liberty are all-too willing to simply blame Millenials as pod-eating dopes, say all is lost, but claim they have enough guns and ammo and freeze-dried food for TEOTWAWKI.

I'd rather get in the game, and change my diet today to avoid having angioplasty later. To the extent more Deplorables make that decision, we're going to be ok; otherwise, President Kamala Harris and VP Spartacus will have something else to say on the matter.

No question, continued distortion and worsening.

We will have a cwii, no doubt. Now just a question of when it really becomes open warfare.

Without getting a handle on voter fraud, we will continue to slide.

I am not worried. DJT, Jr. will be standing with us next. The guy is fearless, and also funny as heck! Just like POTUS. :)

Interesting that you called yourself “week 71” way back before end times prophecy was such a craze.

We know what will happen. Things will get worse, and then at a time of the Lord’s choosing, the obedient will disappear. That doesn’t mean it’s too late for the others, but those left on earth who will be saved will probably suffer for their procrastination or stubbornness before also going to their reward.

That’s the Bible, anyway.

There should be a revolution of the mind (not violence in the streets).

The internet is like the world’s biggest (decentralized) library.

Current periodicals are on the rack for “you” the public to read every day.

Full speeches and testimony can be played back when and where you can take the time to hear what was advocated, what lies were told, etc. And if you work in an office, you can probably even wear headphones and do this while working “9-5”.

Books are scanned in online, or available for purchase at all price points from ebay, bookfinder (agregate search engine), or direct from publishers.

Youtube has on-the-scene footage as events break and old footage (educational films, tv broadcast, movies, documentaries, etc.) from 100 years of productions.

Also via youtube the entirity of recorded music is virtually on the table (I understand that no, every song or artist is not on youtube but it is mind boggling just how much is there). You can listen to works from decades ago or artists just now putting things out or from whatever label they are on.

And yet, with all of that information and entertainment available to the masses at low cost or even no cost, they are still woefully apathetic and uninformed/misinformed.

They still adhere to whatever “top 10” playlist they are sold and whatever “top 10” talking points that are shoved into their unsophisticated heads.

>>The country will never be united again. Something has to give because we cannot peacefully coexist with people who are a threat to our safety, prosperity and freedom and who want to destroy us and our way of life.

The country has been divided for over 50 years. Almost 60 years ago the presidential election was stolen. And the winner was assassinated by a far left Communist. And the Communists successfully got the House Committee On Un-American Activities derailed and reviled. And the Communists rioted in the streets at the 1968 Democrat convention. And then they assumed leadership of the Party as “New Democrats” and assumed leadership of the media and academia.

The figures of the 68 Revolution are still with us today. NOW, Black Panthers, Weather Underground. And they are not rejected for their violence or extremist Marxist views. The media downplays it is “excess” akin to the Weather Underground’s bisexual swinging and swapping or akin to John F. Kerry’s excuse for lying to Congress about witnessing war crimes in Viet Nam as being exagerations by a young man passionate about his opposition to the war.

There were THOUSANDS of bombings in America from the Far Left in the 1970s. Jonestown Massacre was a heavy Democrat scandal (Jim Jones had political connections to Harvey Milk, Jerry Brown, and Jimmy Carter).

The 70s weren’t all “smiley faces and disco”. There were radical leftists, serial killers, hard drugs, etc.

Ronald Reagan’s 80s helped push back against some of that but the political enemy had just shifted their face and held back about being so open about some of their extremist views. Some took the Jerry Rubin route and went “from Yippie to Yuppie” and soften or “sold out”. Some recanted on their past (like David Horowitz or even Michael Medved).

The nation has stood here before. And the same voices on the Left are saying the same things they have for half a century. And their cold war may again be getting hot.

Certainly they have returned to openly celebrating Communist despotic dictatorships in Venezuela and Cuba (even Bernie Sanders praised Fidel Catro recently). Gone is their lie “well.. that wasn’t REAL Communism”). They openly call for revolution, ending capitalism, and eventually the Constitution itself.

Barack Obama was anti-Constitution. He’s on record saying how he didn’t like that it limited the powers of government so he did what he could to run around that. How queer that I should hear a snippet of Nancy Peeslousy on Larry Elder just now decrying Trump’s attempting at funding the border wall by going around Congress. Marxist bitch was okay with Obama doing it at every turn “got a pen and a phone!”.

While I agree we should fight the evil ones wherever we can, I also believe that Hod has spoken and we will keep degenerating into a real sewer before Jesus returns....Trump is one who terrifies the evil among us because he slows them down and refuses to blink in their ineffectual wrath.

Evil just about wins but Jesus interrupts the 10 count to hand them a huge defeat in the final moments.
