We are now in that time where we can say history is repeating itself in a very dangerous way.

In the past, when people said something that didn’t fit the narrative they were jailed and killed.

The Earth is round was not a very popular opinion and was rejected for a long time, people were killed for believing this.

Look at Galileo, “father of observational astronomy”, the “father of modern physics”, the “father of the scientific method”, and the “father of modern science.

Galileo’s championing of Copernican heliocentrism (Earth rotating daily and revolving around the sun) was met with opposition from within the Catholic Church and from some astronomers. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was foolish, absurd, and heretical since it contradicted Holy Scripture.[9][10][11]

Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632), which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated both the Pope and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point.[9] He was tried by the Inquisition, found “vehemently suspect of heresy”, and forced to recant. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

Believe the 2020 election was stolen, participate in a lawful protest, find yourself jailed, your rights abused and your life destroyed.

Believe the vax is bad, explain why, suggest alternatives and lose your licence to practice medicine.

Only a couple of examples but the left is ramping it up.

WE ARE AT WAR!!

Just what are we going to do about it?

“Just what are we going to do about it?”

EXCELLENT post!

And we are in the majority.

And we have a beloved leader with only our country’s interests in mind.

And we have all the guns.

I assume we follow Trump?
