Yeah, they’re real dumdums, they should just stay hunkered down and hide at home. Maybe write some letters to their representatives.
Astonishing. Conservatives calling those who stand up to protest the imprisonment of innocent Americans who had exercised their rights on 1/6/2021 and ended up as political prisoners as...”dumb”.
People who might go down there don’t know right from wrong? Anyone who goes is so weak minded they can be manipulated into wrongdoing?
Or are people assuming those who attend will be arrested if they do nothing more than speak out (AS IS THEIR RIGHT AS AMERICANS) against the injustice of people imprisoned because of the events of 1/6/2021? If anyone feels that way and feels it is smarter to just sit at home and do nothing, well...one of two things is going to happen:
Someone else is going to take part in a movement that will result in your being safe in your own home, or someone is going to eventually knock at your door so you can begin your journey somewhere against your will.
Beyond belief. I can’t believe what I read on this website. Stay at home? Hunker down and hope they don’t come for you?
I have news for people. The way things are going, they are going to come for you eventually even if you stay “safe” in your home. People think it can’t happen here. People think America is special and it won’t happen here.
It will. It might not happen this month, this year, or this decade, but if we as Americans don’t stand up to be counted, we are going to be reduced to the status of Soviet citizens who feared a knock on the door in the middle of the night.
People may think going to this event is risky.
It is.
People may think that nobody should take a chance with their liberty to even go down there lest they be seen on video and arrested for speaking their minds.
That is a danger. We have seen it happen already.
But to call those people who do go to Washington to protest “dumb”?
If I were abandoned to rot in prison as many of those people have been, I would be heartened to know there were Americans who were shocked at the way my own country has treated me.
I cannot go down. But I sure as hell won’t slander those who decide to go there to protest as “dumb” for standing up for the political prisoners. And make no mistake-that is EXACTLY what they are.
What has become of this country?
