I like the scene in the movie when the aliens blow up the White House. I’m just saying.
I think most people aren’t aware of how formidable the British regulars were. They were capable of putting out tremendous firepower with skill and precision. That a ragtag bunch of militia and farmers even attempted to take them on is a testament to our forefathers’ courage.
Probably the most valuable asset at the time was determination.
If only the Brits had disarmed their citizenry!
This is a real truth they sincerely hate.
Armed citizens defeated the worlds most effective armed forces led by a totalitarian tyrant.
They were not a standing army or regular army.
They were regular men. Men with weapons.
Thats what socialists and totalitarians of all stripes fear the most.
Fantastic!
Amen.
And the socialists/totalitarians fear armed citizenry because whatthey want to do is often horrible things mot would not do, and would seek to off said tyrants once people knew who they were.
The proof is, if tyrants and totalitarians had good ideas and loved the people, they wouldnt be considered tyrants and would have no need to disarm the people, they would willingly embrace their ideas and policies. They would volunteer to implement the policies. There would be no talk of gulags and political prisoners and re-education and such.

That’s what riled the Americans so much. They were Englishmen by God and deserved to be treated as Englishmen! You know, with rights and representation in Parliament. Of course once the Regulars were fired upon and killed at Lexington/Concord any real hope of reconciliation was pretty much gone. George III certainly through his influenced towards the “the Americans must be punished” faction in Parliament.
But we, indeed, with French help, did defeat the world’s best.
When it came to the colonies, yep
You could tell them apart.
Uniform vs farmers.
Accents.
Today, FBI implants.
July 4, 1776. The day brave Patriots declared their independence and fought for it.
April 19, 1865. The day Republicans told some blacks in Galveston Texas that they were free.
July 4th MAGA Bump!
Volunteer their dictats,,,

We Are Doomed.
Have not heard that one before.
Exactly. That’s why Vote theft, court packing, and 2A restrictions are critical to the Marxists.
Spending a generation fighting savages in the wilderness well prepares one for fighting Redcoats.
The discovery of guerrilla warfare. Nobody in their right mind squared off against the British square.
