Shaking Our Fists at the Sky Won't Work Anymore

I have lost heart for parade of horribles essay-writing. It's time to do something.

Horrible people, horrible events, horrible ideas strewn like rubble across the charred landscape of this devastated constitutional republic. So many horribles, so few paragraphs allotted. Rip babies out of the womb and kill them? Horrible, check that one. Inflict hormonal disease on children because power-mad, God-hating adults treasure the delusion that they can lab-create a child of the opposite sex? That's horrible and creepy, too; check that one. The twirling kaleidoscopic horribles of the destruction of God-based, religiously informed morality and its replacement by ego-based, lifestyle-driven anti-morality? Hot stuff! Check the anti-morality horribilisms for sure!

Now I am a proud horribilist no more. I have lost heart for parade of horribles essay-writing. All recitation of moral, political, or scientific horribilisms, however knowledgeable, penetrating, or clever, in the absence of a plan for socioeconomic self-protection for the 75 million Americans whose votes were nullified, is the problem and not the solution. Reactivist parade of horribles opinionating plays into the hands of the government-corporate overlords, who snicker at our teeth-gnashing and hand-wringing as they squeeze the last breath of freedom — uh-oh, there I go again.

Why are so many right-wing horribilists still content to chronicle the destruction of the Constitution and their own liberties with no call for resistance? Why do they blather on about restoring the Constitution, the rule of law, equal justice, blah, blah when no path exists to turn back the hands of time so radically?

That is from “High Plains Drifter” for any FIB monitors.

So ...

1. Stop just complaining, it’s useless.
2. Get real: we live in a post-God-believing world
3. The republic we had is lost
4. Accept the Godless model apparent; armed rebellion won’t do the trick.
5. Form and foster local, small, notably secret Christian groups and communities.
6. Live our lives for God.

This is pretty much a reprint of what Christians did under Roman rule. We live in what is essentially a high-tech Roman Empire in the midst of its political ascent and social decline. Ref the Revelation to John for that ...

The only way to recover our liberty and freedom that was stolen in the 2020 electoral catastrophe and January 6th usurpation by the globalist Uniparty that installed an illegitimate, tyrannical junta in DC to control the now-defunct former USA is to implement state-by-state nullification, non-compliance, and secession. Anything else that is attempted politically is not a serious response to our crisis and would be a waste of time and effort. GOPee Delenda Est!

Balkanize. It’s the way forward.

Where is President Trump? If Trump doesn't come out soon and lead the movement he created, he is going to be the most famous roadkill on the highway of world history. He will amount to the man who revealed the saturated evil of the DOJ and irrelevance of the Supreme Court, and not much else. His affirmative legacy of America First will be undone.
Based on what we can see so far, Trump is still getting the lay of the land.

But he isn't a quitter.

He knows a comeback is a must for the sake of the country.

Sadly we became the Laodecians. Revelation 3:14-20.

God is not just loving, He is also just. He keeps His word.

Interesting article, and it’s true: everybody laments the insanity, but we’re not doing anything about it and there doesn’t even seem to be anything that we could feasibly do. There is virtually no institutional support for us, certainly not in the academy nor, sad to say, in most of the Christian and Jewish religious organizations. All of our government institutions have been corrupted, including the courts, and are being used against us. And our political leaders, including Trump, are silent, keeping their heads down or just pretending these problems don’t exist.

I honestly don’t see how anybody could form a “secret” organization of supporters of the Constitution and Western civilization, which the author offers as a solution. For one thing, it wouldn’t be secret long and it would be criminalized and outlawed almost immediately, no matter how peaceful it might be. Also, private society and its organizations, long the pride of Americans, have been nearly shut down and destroyed by the repressive Covid measures, and I’m not sure it will be possible (or permitted) to revive them, let alone start new ones. People are isolated and fearful.

Maybe I’m just another horribilist, confirming what the author says, since I have no solutions. (And please, none of that FR bluster about how well armed you are...that’s not a solution.)

The only tiny ray of hope in the US comes, I think, from the states. One of the things that we saw in the oppressive “Covid” actions of some governors, is how powerful and independent the states are. Their actions were evil and dictatorial, not to mention unconstitutional. But this is also something that can be used for the good if there’s political will. Not many states or governors are using it but states have the capacity to be (and were designed to be) like tiny independent nations all bound together by adhering to the Constitution, protecting the individual rights therein, and handling their affairs the best way for them. (So far, only De Santis seems to realize this.) But maybe there’s some hope if the states can begin individually to restore the values and rights and legitimate institutions that are being taken away from us.

You know the left is doing an all-out investigation of DeSantis right now. Probably investigating what color crayons he used on every kindergarten picture he ever colored. Did he color over the lines?...

“And please, none of that FR bluster about how well armed you are...that’s not a solution.”

Your posting, though long, is littered with banal observations and confused remarks, and ultimately renders you incapacitated. Given your comments about the power of state governments, your follow-up claim, repeated above, is nonsense. As I posted earlier, state-by-state nullification, non-compliance, and secession is an eminently achievable solution to free ourselves from the clutches of an illegitimate, tyrannical US government. GOPee Delenda Est!

That was a common saying long before High Plains Drifter.

They’ll definitely try to destroy De Santis. He has many enemies in Florida too.
