I think they’d probably be rolling more at how few are interested in being historians and actively defend them and it isn’t just the Founders who are being thrown overboard.
Liars are going to lie. You can only get so mad at a lion while it is eating you since that’s what lions do, they eat fleshy animals.
Even in our own time we have people who said basically the same things that the Founders said. The Burkean phrase: The only thing required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing; covers entirely where we’re at.
We had Tea Parties and it was working. It worked! We were actively pushing back against the media and changing their narratives, we were actively ousting worthless politicians from our side, we were being successful in local town hall meetings, and we were having Constitutional discussions among each other that I’ve never had in any other time period in my life. For some odd reason that I cannot explain it was our guys who decided they didn’t want it and I don’t mean republicans, this was conservatives. Sitting down was viewed as a better option than winning. Yeah ok everybody will show up on election day but then for the next 729 days progressives have no opposition.
I don’t get it.
I saw it happening too. The media started their hate campaign and referred to the Tea Party as both racist and extremist. Mitch McConnell said he would "Like to punch the Tea Party in the nose" and he actually used political action committee money which he controlled to pay for racist attack ads against Chris McDaniel in Mississippi.
I say this a lot. "Follow the money." Washington DC is a corrupt enterprise that successfully takes money out of the broader swath of American pockets and concentrates it in the pockets of the wealthy and connected corruptocracy of Washington DC.
The reason that so many Republicans fought to marginalize the Tea Party is because the Tea Party was interfering with their institutionalized graft game.
And a lot of stupid people simply believe the crap spewing out of the media.
1. We got old and there are not many in the younger generations who care as we did/do.
2. Since we got old, we know deep down inside the only true solution to what is going on is to take to the streets as we did years past. only now, it is surely to be met with violence. so do we get our 60 yr old asses handed to us and face death? or do we go armed and face political persecution for defending ourselves...
So, indeed true the Rona has people shy of crowds, being 60, the only way i personally would attend is if there is substantial strength in numbers. because as said, the likelyhood of being met with counter protests from Anteefa and BLM are so high, it would be a tinder box just waiting for a spark. so I'll shy away from a protest with couple 100 people. Call me when you get a couple 1000.
