Thank you for your sentiments.
I am not defeatist. I just don’t see any evidence that our side will fight much less win. Oh sure they will fight YOU if you say we should fight. Or just do like Jerry Falwell did. Do something stupid and watch them fill with wrath.

We have no organization.
No leadership.
No command/control.
No communication except the internet which is NOT under our control.

But we have a mighty host of women on our side saying, “Why do you have to be so hateful? It makes me uncomfortable when you talk like that. I don’t want to think about that right now. You’re scaring me!” We have a mighty army of libertarians who will fight you with courage and determination if you say anything about God or Jesus having anything to do with the laws. We have a mighty host of “christians” who will march against you if you believe in the rapture or a six day creation. Try saying something positive here about Ann Coulter or Ted Cruz and watch the bombs fly.

I agree that history can be instructive. I am from South Carolina and know about the Swamp Fox. But I know too much history to understand what you may be suggesting.

When you say “defeatism” that is just name calling. Even so it is irrelevant, as if you thought low morale was the problem. Anyway why would you wonder about defeatism when our cause has suffered continual defeat for decades?
Except Ronaldus Magnus won the cold war, Yes? Trump has got 300 miles of wall built. Right? So not total defeat I know.

I am not picking at you and I always appreciate your thoughts and thanks!

You seem aware of the facts at most levels.

You seem to be concerned that Americans are not organized, are leaderless, without cmd/control, without adequate means of communication.

Ponder this:

Civil Setting vs. Wartime Setting

Americans are living in a Civil Setting. Marxists are operating in a Wartime Setting. The former is rooted in the rule of law. The latter is without rules, anything goes as long as it seems there are no major consequences.

For Americans to go on a war footing, there will need to be ‘authorization’ by unified action of all three branches of government.

Not going to happen.

Taking matters into one’s own hands, in areas where disunity has been purposefully created, is foolish.

Where there is unity, vigilantilism works. For example, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Staying at home, armed and prepared to defend is righteous but not without risk.

But in general, going on one’s own is not a winning strategy.

A short-term winning strategy would be to gather character references and apply to be a volunteer for the Trump Campaign or volunteer to be a federalized deputy Marshall or an assistant to such deputized forces. That brings authorization, structure, and communications.

Longterm, Americans need to overcome their resistance to entering the political arena. This is called “showing up”.
