Whatever it may be, I wouldn’t admit to it in a public forum.
>> What is a Patriot to do?
Good you’re sharing your frustration. No doubt you’re not alone.
Imagine they surrounded you... would you curl up into a fetal position?
Not today .gov.
The government fo the USA is being destroyed right in front of our eyes. Not by us, by them. You can watch and be horrified or you can watch and realize we are going to get, at some point, an opportunity. An opportunity to accomplish all that needs doing this government cannot do. Like send 30 million illegals home for starters. Be ready to take part in that opportunity. Until then enjoy the show!
You take positive action to educate and get out the vote for conservatives - you invest of yourself by donating to worthy causes/movement...like

Way too many of us say, “What can we do?” while refusing to do even the simpler things that take almost no effort at all...being apathetic is not a strategy.

Be ready to come out of the woodwork after TSHTF.
Someone has to pick up the pieces after everything falls apart.
This nation is my home.
I consider a twist on the good ol’ “homeowners association”.
I will be quiet, and let y’all chew on it.
Find your local GOP office and work w/ phones and door bells. Organize a campaign volunteers, get out the vote. Give them your time not your $. Give each of your team a goal, flip 10 voters
We only need to stay off their lists if we are avoiding the inevitable confrontation. That is okay if you know some other effective strategy. Do you remember the “Boston Massacre”? I wonder if the right thing was to avoid at that time any confrontation with the British.
The answer is plain as day, and just as simple. Execution, on the other hand, is severely lacking, for the simple fact that, Americans have accepted peaceful slavery over dangerous freedom.
You see, the Founders gave us the answer to this question, and it's right there in the Declaration of Independence:
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."
Let me back up just a moment and lay some ground work. You've heard the phrase, "Freedom isn't free". We've all heard it, and our hearts and minds go directly to the men & women serving on the front lines. While the sacrifices they make in upholding and protecting the American way of life are great, the fact is, that phrase applies to you and I, too.
We don't practice it, however, because to do so would require a great deal of responsibility and sacrifice from us, and we don't have time for that. We're too busy working to pay the mortgage, car payments, insurance premiums, credit card bills, keeping the significant other in climate control, keeping food on the table and clothes on the kids, putting gas in the RV/boat/ATV's and hoping we have enough $$$ left over to buy the booze we drink while watching the "Big Game" on that new flat screen TV.
What do all of these things have in common? Money. To make the money we need to keep up this lifestyle, we opt to participate in the employment system. When we participate in that system, we are automatically CONSENTING to having income tax withdrawn from our paycheck every 2 weeks, and to filing said taxes every year to determine the government's "fair share".
"But dware, taxation is theft!"
Well, no it isn't. Don't get me wrong. I don't like it any more than the next guy, but the fact is, as long as we CHOOSE to participate in the system, we are required to play by the rules of the system. And make no mistake: you do, in fact, CHOOSE to participate in the employment system. No one is holding a gun to your head, telling you that you MUST have a job. You WANT a job, in order to pay for all the toys and goodies and creature comforts we enjoy in today's modern society. This is where we begin slipping into that peaceful slavery.
Now, back to the Declaration. According to this Founding document, governments are instituted among men to secure the blessing of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. However, governments are not just legitimate because the government says so. The government in our Republican form gets its power not from thin air, but from the CONSENT of the governed. Basically, We, the People, consent. As long as we consent, the government continues to hold its "just power". The moment we stop consenting, however, it all withers away.
Problem is, we consent, every day, to a whole lot of government tyranny. We consent to a fiat based central bank and its currency every time we accept or spend one of their greenback FRN's. We consent to the destruction of the 2nd Amendment every time we walk into a gun store and submit to unconstitutional background checks. We consent to its destruction whenever we apply for federal permits to buy or sell firearms. We consent to a criminal tax code every time we file our taxes.
Don't misunderstand me here. I'm not suggesting you just not pay taxes. That would indeed be a crime, and you would face jail time. I don't advocate for this. Instead, we can stop consenting by not participating in the system. If you don't have taxable income, you are not held at gun point until your taxes are paid. Of course, this requires some serious sacrifice on the part of the patriot. It all comes down to, do you want all the creature comforts of peaceful slavery, or the dangers of true, unadulterated freedom? Freedom isn't free, you know.
And the best part? This would allow us to end the tyranny without firing a shot, and without spilling a drop of blood. Will we do it? No. Americans would rather hoist the responsibility on to the government. Americans have accepted peaceful slavery over dangerous freedom.
make our culture great again....
breed good church going God believing young people and fill up the country....
You can start a gardening club, a cigar club, a chess club, an archery club a men's group, a 4WD club, or similar group without causing anyone any alarm though.
You might even have that thing in common with the other memebers, at least most of them. There are guys in the 4WD club I hang out with who don't own 4WD vehicles - they hope to.
"Chess Club Meet Up - Thursday Night! - the usual!"
A patriot would do what the thuggish globalists on the left are doing, except working on the side of good instead of evil.

Become active and speak up in your church, local schools (including becoming a school board member or a teacher), university, Scouting (no, it’s not permanently dead yet, just resting), media even if that is only commenting with both facts and emotion, political and government activities, and everything else that matters. Speak up in favor of businesses and other organizations that are politically/morally positive, and against those that are negative for our country and culture.
All that, and . . . yes . . . be prepared in all respects.
