What Lesson did you learn in 2020?

Posted on 12/26/2020 5:27:39 PM PST by MNDude

Maybe I'm alone here, but I feel like I learned a lot of dark lessons this year.

I thought I was already cynical and anti-government enough already back in 2019.

Little did I know.

What did you learn in 2020 that you didnt know before?

I have learned that the institutions I once trusted and believed in ...They will screw you over in a heartbeat. (medical, police, military and so on)

Religious institutions. The judicial system.

That the entire world, every corner, can be locked down.

That my kids no longer feel I'm crazy for prepping for years.

To double efforts to become even more prepared.

That we're not going to be able to prevent what's coming on the world, even though the Almighty gave us a final opportunity to do so thru president Trump.

To get in better shape.
The media removed all doubt of their extreme left wing bias.

True freedom is dead.

Founding fathers are disgusted by our behavior.

That our governments have been successfully infiltrated by Marxists, Communists, statists and grifters, and that they are jubilant and shameless in their success.

That George Orwell, Ayn Rand, Sinclair Lewis, Aldous Huxley, Jack London, Robert Welch, and many others were all right.

That the founders and Benjamin Franklin were all savants: "It's a republic, if you can keep it."

The Chinese flu, aka Covid, is being used as a mechanism to control the public. Covid has become a mask-wearing religious cult. Sorta like the Muslims and their masks.

It’s pathetic seeing Americans walking around like zombies wearing these things.

I learned that when you start to think of your ammo stash as excessive, that’s the time to purchase more.

"End of our Constitutional Republic.... half the Electorate eagerly Voting to make it happen."

Concur. It is disheartening to say the least.

My father - a Goldwater Republican - told of his college years (1950's and early 1960's) when Marxists and Socialists were quietly but actively cultivating recruits in his circles.

I learned no matter how bleak and desperate a situation may seem, God is with us. He will deliver us from hades if we ask Him with love and reference.

That this country is corrupt to the core and that from this year forward, it isn’t worth defending or dying for. They send our young to fight wars that make them rich, they destroy our duly elected President and they devalue our vote, they take our money to make the Clintons, Bidens, Pelosis filthy rich while offering citizens $600.00.

Some people have little to no faith in God and give up way too easily.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

How much “financial peace” you get from following Dave Ramsey’s advice of having a 6 month emergency fund.

How much online schooling #*(&@&’s compared to in-person learning.

How much healthy relationships rely on spending quantity time together.

That cheating in 5 or 6 counties of the entire nation can disenfranchise half the country.
