Fight or surrender
American Thinker ^ | 28 Dec, 2020 | Carol Brown

Posted on 12/28/2020 5:01:32 AM PST by MtnClimber

If we don’t fight, then we have surrendered. Those are the options. Pick one.

There are lots of words to describe how we feel right now. And none of them are good. It seems the left has checkmated us at every turn.

But we must shake the victim mentality. It is the antithesis of what it means to be an American.

No matter how overwhelmed we feel and no matter how daunting or hopeless our options may seem, we must fight for this country. And we can do it en masse on January 6th.

And as a brief aside: For those who want to fight but only if victory is assured, I recommend disconnecting those two things. We can only fight onward, never knowing when, or if, we will be victorious.

If we don’t fight, then we have surrendered. Those are the options. Pick one.

If we don’t fight because we feel tired, discouraged, and hopeless, then we don’t do justice to all who came before us – to all who risked their lives to build and protect this nation and define what it means to be an American.

Please turn down the volume in your brain that wants to say something snarky and cynical. We don’t have the luxury of such thinking.

President Trump has been fighting for us for four years – fighting the left and the right, fighting here and abroad, and often fighting alone.

How dare any of us claim to be exhausted, worn out, or too discouraged to lift a finger when this man has almost single-handedly achieved so much for this country?

And now he is calling on all of us to join him in Washington DC on January 6th and we must answer his call.

Anyone who has ever been to a communist country knows what is at stake.

Americans, THANKS TO THE ELECTED PRESIDENT,
have learned what scum the FIB, DO”J”, SCOTUS and
the foreign-run Congress are.

DNC and RINOs are scum. Treasonous scum.

It won't matter if it is just for a demonstration and a march. That will be ignored by the Uniparty conspirators like all the proof they say doesn't exist. It will only matter if there is an armed revolution with the patriots rising up and dragging the coup leaders out of office to face justice.

She seems to be banking on a huge turn out on Jan 6 will matter on whether the senate will confirm the Trump electors. I unfortunately don’t think it matters without an election fraud court victory.

Most likely passive resistance will be the strategy most people will take. A high percentage of people not recognizing Biden’s legitimacy will show up in the polls. Low public approval will show up in the polls. Non compliance with Biden gun controls will show up in the polls. The aggressive resistance will begin when semi automatics are made illegal.

It matters.

We have to scare them.

Most politicians are cowards.

They do not want radical change.

About the worst thing to happen would be a few idiots, without tactics, organization, or a long term plan, attack members of Congress.

We have to scare them enough to keep them from going full Venezuela.

If we prevent Venezuela for 2 years, we can take the House from the Democrats, and do to Biden/Harris what was done to President Trump.

Only Biden/Harris will deserve it.

This is not just about Trump but our future and the future of our children and grandchildren. If we surrender & lose this we will rue the day and it won’t take long to realize just how F’ed we are.

They’ll buy off the morons, keep weekly UE benefits high (only reason for shutdowns), payoff student loans, citizenship for illegals....IOW, they’ll have the numbers. There are more morons than Patriotic citizens.

They don’t give a damn about what we think. MtnC limber. Maybe at one time they did, but I am not dogmatic on that. Now they are spitting in our faces and slapping our faces. Figurative and literally they have told us to GFY. Why? Because they know that we will not do anything. The day of reckoning will be January 6, 2021. We already know how the Courts will rule. The only mystery remaining is the rationale they will give for their ruling. What will happen on January 7, 2021? My guess id that the sun will rise in the East and then, nothing. In the past, I believed if we went, we would co with a bang fighting and kicking all the way. Now I believe we will go with a whisper. Many won’t even know we have gone. We are riddled through and through with traitors, parasites, judas goats, Communists, Socialists, muslims. Each one replaces a red blooded Patriotic American. Some of us will resist, but we will be a minority within a minority. The FBI will attempt to slaughter us.

It so rarely happens in life that you can miss it simply on that expectation: But THIS is IT. “It”. Now. Period. Attack them by whatever means necessary or miss the chance.Biden did not win. He cannot be the Commended in Chief. He cannot sign law. He and all of those who support his theft of the executive office must be stopped. Now. Period.

I agree with your few idiots comment. It would have to be massive and all encompassing. Regarding taking back the House, it won't happen. Biden/Harris will legalize tens of millions of illegals and open the borders to a tide of new illegals and their dependents. All of them will be put on government dependent programs and vote Democrat forever, just like multi-generational welfare recipients who will vote Rat no matter their miserable existence. This will be the beginning of a new dark age for the US and the West if it is not stopped now and that sure doesn't seem likely.

My thoughts exactly. The cake is baked and ready to be served. My fear, and why I’m not going to DC on the 6th is the fib executing another false flag operation against true American patriots. DC is a gun free zone and having us all there unarmed is the perfect scenario for the fib and deep state dwellers to pull off something. I hope I’m wrong but it sure seems likely after what we’ve seen in places like Sandy Hook, Las Vegas etc.

You seem to be banking on two years from now having verifiable accurate elections. I think it’s naive to assume the operatives will work towards election integrity. That’s been thrown out the window. The courts won’t even hear the cases. Apparently even the President who is the harmed individual in this charade doesn’t even have standing.

Yep the fib and operatives in the demoncrat party will attempt to slaughter us. I will for the sake of my kids and their future kids lay down my life for this country if necessary. I did take an oath in the military and it never expires. Enemies foreign and domestic is where this is headed, are there enough patriots to do what it takes? Will the military of today be of service to defend the country or defend the operatives occupying the WH and other government departments, who knows but we cannot assume they will anymore. Heck even the Generals are openly against the President. I fear this country is in for sone dark days, Biden is right about that for sure.

They were not able to steal the downraces this time.

We have two years to push the legislatures to make/enforce the election laws.

A large chunk of the Left was motiviated by pure hatred of President Trump, from the 2 minute hate in the Media.

Trump will not be there for the hate.

Republican state legislators have the advantage in redistricting.

Assuming all elections will be fraudulent all the time for the forseeable future is neither realistic or prudent.

It is defeatist, an excuse to give up and do nothing.

It appears that the author, Carol Brown, has picked the latter option.

My opinion is that “fighting” means KIA, physical injuries, loss of homes and businesses, being imprisoned and so on.

What the author is talking about is exercising our constitutional rights to free speech and freedom to assemble and staying within the law.

It’s my opinion that if we follow the author’s definition of “fighting”, we will see Biden being inaugurated as our next president.

I’m not advocating violence or breaking the law. Just saying we ought to be truthful as to what we are doing.
