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?

Gaslighting went mainstream.

The power to ignore is the most powerful thing in the world.

Wow. That is extremely profound. If more people would simply ignore what they perceive as insults or offenses or slights, this would be a much better world. I include myself in that. I've wasted far too much of my life being offended and suffering the consequences.

I learned so many. Here’s just a few:

1. FBI exists to protect Democrats.

2. Yes, a landslide CAN be stolen.

3. Millions of people thirst for being terrified and obeying anything they are ordered and then imposing that same onto you.

4. The purpose of foreign aid is kickbacks to family members of politicians (although I started learning that one in 2019)

There are a lot more sheep than I thought out there.

There are a lot more cops that will "follow orders" than I thought out there.

Oh he wont give up. He will move on to the next phase to take people out

I said oh so long ago that Trump holds a grudge. People bashed me for saying it.

You will see it in action after he leaves the WH.

The only thing that might stop it is if Mitch and crew promise to help get Ivanka elected.

I learned we have to stop sniveling and get our asses out of our chairs and get in the fight. Think 1776 redux. Relentlessly and mercilessly hold every politician accountable. Primary the Vichy Republicans, defeat them and elect America First Patriots at every level of government.

The MSM, while totally aware, ignored all of the illegal swamp transgressions. That was a powerful tool in getting Trump.

Democrats can’t win wlections on issues. They will only gain power which they crave through cheating and lies, with full compliance of the main stream media, none of whom can be trusted.

I have learned just how close we are to a one world communist government and that I’m not being paranoid, they really want to do this.

I have learned that the institutions I once trusted and believed in and thought were mostly non-political- aren’t. They will screw you over in a heartbeat. (medical, police, military and so on)

Here’s what I learned in 2020 (eyes wide open). t appears we’ve been deluded into believing we live in the same republic established after the 1776 revolution and whose constitution was established in 1787.

Keep your powder dry Patriots.

Some people I thought would be steady and I could possibly rely on in emergency were the first to go to pieces.

Others that I was not sure about just shrugged and got on with life.

"Live with a man 40 years. Share his house, his meals. Speak on every subject. Then tie him up, and hold him over the volcano's edge. And on that day, you will finally meet the man."

More truth in that then we want to admit I think.

The police work for whom ever signs their paychecks and gives them a pension.
