I Finally Figured Our Surrender Pansies Out

Posted on 02/09/2021 1:13:17 PM PST by redheadedshannon

Somethings been puzzling me about our side since the November election. I've noticed an inordinate percentage of people on the right being nihilistic & petulant. I have always assumed we are simply smarter than they are. I think that this election opened my eyes not just to the level of corruption of the Democrats, but more so the lack of sincerity of many on my own side.

What I've witnessed is a collapse of shared will. You may blame others failures or betrayals for bringing you down that long, sad road. In reality, it's just you! Every time you boycott an election or knowingly vote for assinine third parties that don't have the support to win, you cede this country further to those you claim to fear the most.

I finally realized that maybe the reason that many people loved President Trump was because he was strong. He was your knight on a white horse. You thought he could do all the fighting for you. I don't guess you completely learned until election night that he can't fight it all on his own. He needed more than just your words.

You don't abandon the people who are counting on you. President Trump never did. We need to start banding together because there are extremely important battles taking place right now- election security, immigration, speech, religion, shut downs. For God sakes, Democrats & the media are trying to ban us. Wake up! Mitch McConnell isn't our biggest problem right now!!

There are no easy fights or knights on white horses. We have to save ourselves & each other. We have got to unite to defeat our enemies. They are attempting to divide us & too many of the weak minded are unknowingly falling for it πŸ˜‰

We did our part, the RINO’s sold us out! Time to fight and get rid of them! The young lady is right.

Bush League Republicans have been running the GOP for 30 years and colluding with Democrats to import a permanent Democrat majority, colluding with Democrats to install an ineligible usurper, colluded with Democrats to first block President Trump and then cheat him out of office.

BOTH parties are globalist.

What are you smoking? The GOP is our biggest problem right now, because they prevent us from dealing with the bigger problem, the Democrats. Until the GOPe is removed from leadership (which will never happen), we have no voice in government (and not just in D.C.). I think the overwhelming majority of Freepers support DJT, so no issues there. I'm of the opinion that Trump could be successful if he starts a new party, but I also think it shouldn't all be on his shoulders. He has said that he will work to get Republicans elected, so I'm assuming that he won't go the new party route.

In the end, I think many at FR that have been following politics for a decent amount of time have come to the (correct) conclusion that the GOP is worthless, and that Trump and MAGA will never truly be accepted by the GOPe.

Starting a third party assures the split will enable the Demonrats to win by a plurality in countless races for perpetuity. That’s why President Trump opposes doing so. We’ve got to purge the GOP and keep doing so until we are rid of the treasonous, the cowardly and the various and sundry toadies.

Excuse me, but in case you haven’t noticed, I have been posting reasoned arguments to those people for a while. They have uniformally thrown insults at me & people like me. The general argument amongst most has been that anyone who doesn’t abandon ship is a fool & establishment stooge. You obviously know that’s not true. I would not be writing this unless I was worried about that trajectory & wanting to see things change. I’ve had it with the constantly repeated arguments that voting is futile & we are doomed to lose. If you think that that is a an argument that should be coddled & sympathized with, be my guest! I’m sick of it. I’m not fond of snowflakes of any stripe who need to be patted on the head & agreed with. Man up! They can not win with that attitude. They will lose in any party with any candidate with that outlook. Things are getting dangerous. I’m sorry if I don’t have the time to hand hold & walk grown adults through reality. Here’s reality: we either band together & become a unified force with the wind at our backs or we become the negativists self fulfilling prophesy & lose everything. We aren’t talking about losing our tax cuts anymore. They’re one vote away from confiscating guns, doing away with free speech & dissent, abolishing religious, opening the borders to 100 times more immigrants & illegals & basically voiding the constitution. I’ve never lived through anything like what I’m seeing now. WE DONT HAVE TIME TO DEBATE FEELINGS! Grow the f**k up 😑🀦🏼

Wow, you sound like a bright one πŸ™„ Can’t believe you seriously just argued it it takes courage to let the Democrats have an elected seat. Ladies & gentlemen, why are we losing elections? Because of brain trusts like this nitwit. It...just...so...farking...embarrasing πŸ™ˆπŸ€¦πŸΌ I’d might be laughing if you weren’t so idiotic. This level of idiocy reminds me of those people you encounter in public places- they’re trashy with no manners & don’t possess a lick of intelligence. They shout & throw their weight around to seem more important & less like a loser. It’s cringey. Take your bellicosity & shove it πŸ˜‹

Yeah, we've heard that one before, ad nauseum. They're winning anyway, and now they can steal elections with impunity. The GOP is worthless because they will do nothing to prevent this criminal BS. They showed their true colors the past four years.

We don’t elect them, the legislators do. It’s a game of ‘whack a mole’, and there are so many uniparty members, that we can’t seem to get rid of all of them. Of course, it doesn’t help that liberals from all over the country keep moving here for jobs and bring their insanity with them.

Agreed. I'm seeing the same thing - non-leftists and conservatives who are pissed off about the stolen election, censorship and the vilification of Trump supporters, are still financially supporting those who contributed to affecting that crime. Dump Netflix? Oh no! My favorite show's on Netflix! Stop buying music from leftist schmucks? Oh no! I like that song! So on and so forth.

You're right - the best approach to what's coming is to prepare for the coming persecutions, and protect your family and assets while laying low. Anyone trying to be a gung-ho hero instead will get squashed like a bug - there will be no organized resistance to back you up if you go "Rambo" on any of these totalitarian pricks. Proof of that is that in spite of the fact that the Left literally stole the White House there hasn't been any effective, mass movement in response to that. No mass boycotts, no massive street protests, no monkeywrenching, just a boatload of "warriors" pounding their keyboards into submission.

The scumbags who pulled the coup off are swaggering; rubbing our noses in it, gaslighting us with total impunity. In a virtuous, righteous society they'd instead be cowering in their homes afraid to show themselves in public. We're light years away from the spirit of 1776 and have been for decades. . .

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

You may have heard it ad nauseum, but it doesn’t make it any less true. If the GOP is worthless, it’s because we fail to take out the trash when we have the opportunity. We need to make these people FEAR us for not doing the right thing.

"If you can’t have the damn guts to let the Dem have the seat for ONE TERM then you WILL ALWAYS have the gutless Republican Party we have had for the lady 45+ years!!"

If that is truly the plan, shouldn't you vote for the dem instead of abstaining?

Then, when you finally get a good candidate you'd be pulling a vote away from the dems and adding one for the republicans

Great quote - I've used it often. It's human nature to 1) embrace the Normalcy Bias, fooling one's self into thinking that ferocity can't possibly come your way, because it never has before. 2) Walk meekly, en masse, to destruction. Oh God, how can this possibly be happening!!?

Sound of a gunshot, then a thud, as another "deplorable" slumps into a mass grave. . .

It's coming.
