No, not at all. They (pessimistic conservatives) need to be rallied. But name-calling is simply not the best way to do that. Americans - and especially conservative Americans - are an independent breed. We do not respond well to insults. But we often do respond well to reasoned arguments.
Your country and freedoms are about to be destroyed, maybe for a generation, and you need motivational pep talk or a 500 page position paper on why you should get involved or fight? Huh?
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 😡🤦🏼
