“The only way this will be corrected is if conservatives take to the streets a la Antifa / BLM and scare the crap out of Congress, state legislatures, LEOs, mayors and SCOTUS.”
Exactly! And, in great numbers that DWARF those subversives. But, to date, there has been very little indication that Americans in such numbers will ever choose to fight for their freedoms and do so.
I’m afraid the Spirit of 1776 is long gone in our country. We’re far too comfortable and can’t be bothered to take any personal risks at all to preserve what we have been given through the sacrifices of so many before us. It is the fate of so very many prosperous countries that came before us.

It requires a militant conservative movement to emerge. It hasn't happened yet.

Such a movement began in the mid 1990s in response to FBI atrocities, but dissolved when the Clintons left office.

Americans have a high tolerance for leftism, but the tipping point (at least back then) was when federal goons started killing women and children.

Also, the firearms landscape is vastly different from the mid 90s. So many things have changed WRT gun ownership, Perhaps Biden's extreme prohibition / confiscation would be another tipping point.

People from all over are traveling to DC next month. Many of them are taking all this very seriously.
