Hide and watch, wait and see. They also know if he can get past this election he WILL bring a halt to the revolution and crack down on every one involved. It has now become either....or.

[Robert DeLong]

Of course they are.

[ronnie raygun]

Ya think?

I see your point, but I have to ask: is it possible to defeat the Democrats and all the cheating without firing a shot?

[metmom]

It makes a lot of sense.

Trump has bene criticized for not responding and taking action, but he is showing wisdom in restraint.

The time will no doubt come for heavy handed action, but I can certainly see your point and think you are right.

They block traffic HOPING someone will come out firing a semi-auto rifle. The tear down statues BEGGING privately for some hothead to shoot and kill the people doing the damage. They have tried every possible outrageous act they can think of and almost no one is taking the bait.

Yes. So they can win if good people fight back and win if good people do nothing.

Doing nothing means accepting the slurs, the verbal putdowns on us as being ALL white racists and America being ALL bad from the start. Corporations like siding with BLM to gain virtue signaling points and money. "We care."

No one stands up or else we are quickly kicked off Facebook and Twitter, lose our good job and any future similar job, and lose our reputation (we are now "the white racist guy who was fired.") And hope we make it home in time to try to defend our terrified loved ones in our surrounded house some night.

They can win with just that as the police are defunded and disbanded, guns are taken little by little, all cities are going into crime wave anarchy without government such as mayors to stop it. Highways and freeways blocked and police nowhere to be found as drivers and families are beaten.

They win either way.

The goal is to provoke the violence and then claim ALL conservatives just want to kill everyone and disenfranchise liberal voters.

I don't think it'll necessarily have the effect they're hoping for. Just look at the recent shooting in New Mexico.

If he has to shoot, a conservative must be sure a reasonable person in a similar situation would believe his life was in danger, before he, the conservative, opens fire. Follow all the rules of gun safety, etc. This can be hard to do in the heat of the moment, I know. But if we can do that, it's going to be hard for the unhinged Left to pin anything on us.

Many of us were saying the same thing back when I joined FR in 2000.

They have certainly ramped it up in the last 12 years though.
