Like someone said: it’s too late to work within the system but too early to shoot the bastards.
Yep, that’s what it feels like. My husband thinks I’m crazy to not just give up. Maybe it’s insanity, thinking if I keep trying something will change. I just keep hoping that somebody who has the power to step up to the plate will notice the same things the rest of us peons are noticing and realize that they’ve got nothing to lose by shaking up the status quo, and everything to gain.
I can’t help but feel that that’s at least partly what’s behind this anonymous thing. Makes me think of “Braveheart”, and when William Wallace said, “You know what happens if we don’t do this...” When asked what, he responded, “Nothing.”
Sometimes for everything to stay as it is, is unbearable. Teflon, where the truth never matters, is downright scary.
The stuff we’re seeing verbalized now is stuff that before the election would have been unthinkable for anybody to say. Stuff like confiscating guns, executive orders to go around the Constitutional checks and balances and Constitution itself, lowering the standards of the military so women can meet the requirements just like the men, getting rid of the border, the continuation of the Night of the Long Knives and getting rid of military leaders who balk at ordering their troops to shoot at Americans, terrorism perhaps being exported from Benghazi while this regime arms the terrorist and Congress gets nothing but the bird from Hillary, the arming of federal agencies to fight US even while disarming us and arming our enemies such as terrorists and the drug cartels doing beheadings on our southern border and smuggling terrorists into the country, suggestions that overweight people and smokers be left to die...
Will it be enough for some of the governors, for instance, to realize they have to fight? I mean really fight, as if the existence of their state, their country, their family, and their life depends on it. Because at this point it really does. We either step up to the plate now, or everything we love dies.
I don’t know whether even anonymous’ threats can get the attention of anybody who can/will do anything. We’ll see. It is definitely an uncomfortable place to be in. Somebody has to make the first move - preferably BEFORE the boa gets any tighter around our necks.
