There are only two alternatives left: Capitulation or organized resistance of the not so gentle kind.
Interesting article and I tend to agree with most of it.
But here’s the thing, I am shocked that anyone is shocked. Spending too much time in the echo chamber must be the reason. This has been coming for about a decade (and probably before but more subtly). It was hugely disappointing, but no shock to anyone paying attention.
As for the two alternatives, that is probably true. Our overwhelming problem is we don’t have the numbers to change the GOP, start a Third Party, or organize resistance. I’m not saying we don’t have ANYONE. Quite the contrary. And maybe everyone in our social circles are “rarin’ to go”. But those are still small numbers. And our group is shrinking while the other side’s is growing. I have yet to see us put any significant numbers “on the streets” for anything.
NOW can we start shooting?
And if I may add, the part that is SO spot on is the 80s conservative movement was really no more than a bunch of “conservatives” trying to get on TV and sell books. That’s pretty much all it is now which is why “news entertainment” is such a joke as is talk radio.
Really spot on analysis.
It won’t be over until the Liberals figure out to take down Elysium.
A third approach (and the best) is organized non-violent civil disobedience. It got the commies out of Poland, the Soviet out of Russia, the Morsi jihadists out of Egypt, the English out of India, the start of getting the English out of the American colonies, and so on.
I guess that we’re fully into Saul Alinsky’s socialist state dream.
How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:
There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state.
The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare: Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty: Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt: Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control: Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare: Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education: Take control of what people read and listen to take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion: Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare: Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
