What we DO about it is:
1) Share articles like this which show the past history of what the enemy (and, YES, they ARE the enemy) has done, and some kind of coherent and logical prediction of what they are likely to try to do;
2) Get motivated, and get others of reasonably similar mindset motivated, to stop the Bolshevization of this country. That means lots of talking, which means that you need an opening line or subject on which to begin the discussion (like, for instance, this article or others like it).
3) Get registered to vote, get others of like mind to register, and actually vote in 2020. If we cannot even do a simple thing like that, which costs very little, involves no risk and takes very little effort, then we’re lost, we’re DONE.
4) Get in shape, get armed and get well-practiced with your firearms. Hopefully, being in shape will merely be used to extend the quality and quantity of your life, and getting skilled with firearms will just be an interesting, and somewhat expensive hobby. If things actually do turn to crap, with the Bolshies winning in 2020, then being in shape and having those skills will be necessary.
4A) Have friends, CLOSE friends, who do the same and with whom there is a high level of trust. Best case, you’ll be closer with your friends; worst case, these people and you will support and possibly save each other.
DP, we are at war. Yes, right now it is not a shooting war (although Steve Scalise might disagree), but it is a war for the heart and soul of this country, and for its future. My grandfather witnessed such a war for HIS country (Russia, during and after WW1), and saw his family, their peace and their comfort utterly destroyed. What he didn’t see, and didn’t know about until 1969, was that the NKVD goons had murdered his father in 1937. The rest he knew - how miserable their lives were, how they had no freedom, no choices of consequence in their lives. Unfortunately, he died over a decade before the wall fell in Berlin and 15 years before the USSR collapsed. I see the exact same thing happening here if we don’t stop these bastards - and the same thing because Stalin and the NKVD seeded our universities and newspapers with agents to influence our society over the long term...and it is clearly working.
Doom and gloom? Yeah, maybe. But if we do nothing then we’re going to have what happened to Russia a century ago happen here. The details will be different, of course, but it will be indistinguishable for the average person.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
I believe you’re right on the money.
Except, I also believe we can vote all we want... we have NO party who cares what WE want. We no longer have a government of representation; rather, we seem to elect our rulers, unfortunately.
Seriously, who of us are going to take up arms for ourselves? Seriously.
Because THAT is what it will take to prevent us from going the way you described your ancestors’ Russia. We are going there and then some very soon.
And we need to feed BLEXIT and the WALKAWAY movement. High energy people who have seen the light.
