We have allowed our rights to be woefully diminished by continually voting for numskulls and not doing our homework when it comes to this most important civic duty.
T H A N K S Gramps ! ! ! ! Spot on.
More could be added, but this is just piling on to get it off my chest.
When the federal government can quickly pass spending bills with little / no debate in the amounts of 2.2T and ~0.5T loaded with items that have nothing to do with your health, it definitely is not about your health;
When a state governor without a face mask, and his staff lined up shoulder to shoulder also unmasked behind him, speaks to a the media (also without face masks), speak about about the latest or extended restrictions on citizens’ liberties, it is not about your health;
I could go on and on, as I am sure you can too.
This shows how weak and unappealing GOP is as an alternative to socialism. To the average worker in the USA, the GOP represents a small minority of globalists, open border labor lovers, “small business”, wall street, corporatists, mercantilists and farmers. No one else need apply.
Not me
Some of us have been openly defying any stupid lockdown orders that infringe on our liberties.
Then your bishop is the problem, not your government. My church has been closed for over a month, too ... even though it is allowed to open under the government lockdown orders.
First and foremost we have allowed this by supporting a media that lies. They lie. The media sets the news cycle and the agenda. Culture, academia, and Hollywood bring up the rear.
We have funded our own destruction and the dumbing down of America.
In my mind, I cannot refute much of what you say, but I believe it starts with funding the “elites” and it is killing our nation. The media/cultural elite can take a completely absurd and biologically impossible idea like a “boy can be a girl” or a “girl can be a boy” and mainstream it within a few years to the point that most of the country shrugs and we put tampon dispensers in the boys room of high schools.

Politicians are half way decent actors. Look at Dan Crenshaw. Full on conservative UNTIL he got elected. Then he went RINO.
RNC doesn’t help. It’s the good ole boys club.
Thanks. Please feel free to add on and to use it whenever/wherever you feel it is appropriate!
No interest in politics, freedom or liberty,how true but by God they have their hand out for free stuff and a easy ride and have no idea how it’s paid for.
Pilgrims roll over in grave.
I’m with you. I’ve been going to work every day without a mask. I even told the company president I was going to do it in defiance of company guidelines.
Admittedly, it hasn’t been to difficult to do, since I work at a small business with only 10 local employees, and only 2 of us are in the office for the last 6 weeks.
Uou can stop posting this. You made your point days ago. Please stop. Thank you.
The asymmetric war has been going on a long time. We will be in it every day, every hour for the rest of our lives, whether we like it or not. Many, many battles yet to be lost, deplorables...for example.
BTTT
The problem is what POTUS Trump campaigned on: The Swamp,Fake News and most importantly making America great again. If we evaluate these three items,we are not doing well as a result of this crisis and the the left’s hijacking of it. The left controls majority of government,majority of education,majority of media and majority of the voters. I sometimes think the Trump era is an anomaly.
Ignore them, like I will ignore you.

1. Speak for yourself.
2. Why do you cast blame inward? Maybe 'we' need to do more. But why take a bad thing that is not of your making and castigate yourself?
I'm not disagreeing with your points. Such things as land only voting have a lot of wisdom and if there were a movement for it I'd be for it property or at least the paying of taxes being a requisite for voting. But 'we' did not allow this. The people on this site, and right leaning people are not all-powerful.
Lots of people think it lacks humility to take credit for things one did not accomplish. That's true. But it also lacks humility to take blame for things one did not cause.
I'm not saying 'do nothing', I'm saying ... leave me out of your 'we' ... and stop blaming yourself. Also I don't blame you for being upset.
The Declaration of Independence is clear. “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive, [] it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” In California, that time is now!
