The Silent Majority is Going to Get Loud
American Thinker ^ | 13 Aug, 2021 | John Green

Posted on 08/13/2021 3:19:14 AM PDT by MtnClimber

When government fails to act in the interests of its citizens, it’s their duty to take action. For 20+ years, the United States has seen failure of government through unrestricted illegal immigration, one-sided trade deals, uncontrolled spending, and failed foreign policy.

Predictably this has created a seething anger within the American citizenry. As was their duty, the citizens took action -- at the ballot box. They elected Donald Trump in 2016. President Trump didn’t create the anger, the anger created him.

While he made substantial strides in response to their grievances, his time in office was too short to fully institutionalize the necessary course corrections -- particularly with unprecedented resistance from the Deep State. The grievances of the citizenry remain unresolved.

Unfortunately, avenues of redress have continued to close. Our institutions are no longer providing equal protection, our freedom of expression has been curtailed, and even our vote has been undermined. These factors brought us to our current state -- a level of political tension not seen in generations. Traditional avenues of redress are under attack.

The United States has a heritage of civil protest as a means to effect political change. However, even prior to the Trump era, legacy media has used gaslighting to undermine the protest messages. Tea Party protesters were called racists and domestic terrorists. Trump rally attendees were called white supremacists. Peaceful protests have been called violent uprisings while violent protests (by BLM and Antifa) have been called “mostly peaceful.” The media have effectively used propaganda to crush political expression. They are attempting to impugn the speakers to discredit the message.

Better get on it quick though, 'cause everyone else is looking the other way.

Very true. But, see post #14. They are not listening. They don’t care one iota what we think.

What is the ballot box going to do for us> The Commies own the voting procedure. The Federal Government will get Fraudulence In Voting enacted as law one way or another, perhaps in the fine print in that 2702 age bill, and the USSC will say “No Standing” to citizens who would challenge it. The Republic is OVER. From now on it is Banana Republic time and we have to fight to see that the Caudillo is one of our guys instead of one of their guys.

To so many of those on the right making $$$$ is more important than fighting for personal God given rights and freedoms.

We are going

“ They will use even a singular event as an excuse to unleash holy hell.”

If said event directly affected a judge or politician, and showed signs of a trend, things would change rapidly.

The fake vaxes need to be pulled and the tyrannical government officials need to start feeling heat, a lot of it.

Proud Boys were non-commie group. But, commie regimes quickly ruined them by usual dis-information.

The likes of Kyle Rittenhouse would help. But, once the local tyrants have them in hand they need extensive $$legal help.
There have been instances of locals simply running Antifa thugs out of neighborhoods. But, those videos are not allowed to be shared anywhere.
We are in a totalitarian state already. Only one way out now.

What I don't understand is...why have only a handful of leftist social media conglomerates been allowed to control the narrative?

Is it government intervention in cahoots with rich oligarchs on a mission...or are we conservatives simply too lazy and/or ignorant to create our own platforms?

FreeRepublic has set the standard that it can be done, but at most it just preaches to the choir.

Half this country is conservative, but our information is being muted out by a handful of conglomerates simply because...we let THEM own the means of production.

Face it, 'rats play to win. But this isn't _D chess, it's just a game of five-card stud, they're are even showing their hand...yet conservatives still find a way to lose.

Yeah, they've become very devious in their methods...but they simply have no fear of us and smell blood in the water...because of our lethargy and weak opposition(look at their fake over-reaction to Jan.6, which was a gov. op. to begin with).

See what you can get away with when you(are allowed to) control the narrative?

All their "winning" has to change, or what has taken 100's of years of sacrifice to create will be conquered in matter of a few more months.

The failure of the Republic has reached critical mass, in large part due to one-sided mass-media(controlled by a few)combined with a lethargic opposition.

As such, currently "all the world's a stage" to a handful of "jokers".

...remove them(by any means) and then start the healing process.

'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. '

Brain-fornicated do not critically think, they follow the leader and become one with the cult.

I think it comes down to the fundamental differences between conservatives and the Left.

Conservatives (and I use the term broadly) basically just want to mind their own business, to be left alone to live their own lives. They work hard to build wealth and then on weekends or when they are off work, they just want to be fishing on a boat or having a barbecue in their back yard, etc.

Conservatives are tolerant people and it doesn't bother or even concern them that others may believe differently than them on issues of the day. They are all about "live and let live."

Leftists are the opposite of conservatives. They are always wanting to stick their noses in other people's business. They are very intolerant of anybody that does not march-step to their beat. They are all about community involvement and thus permeate society at all levels. They are the ones that "volunteer" for just about any gig that gives them some say or a little power over others. Be it a condo board, the local PTA, the town parade committee, and whatever else.

Conservatives just want to be left alone. Leftists want to get in our faces and have as much control over our day-to-day lives as possible. That about sums it up.

Yes, sir....that does sum it up very well.

But in the past they were just innocuous pests to be ignored or occasionally swatted.

...now they are an army of useful idiots to a handful of deviant(but well financed/powerful)opportunists who have infiltrated every nook and cranny of gov./media/academia/business/finance/healthcare...as such they are no longer just pests, they pose a direct threat to the Republic.

Remove the head of this snake, the threat(though perhaps slowly/painfully, like any other serious disease that's been allowed to fester)will abate.

Continue to allow these snakes and their indoctrinated flying monkeys unfettered access to power???

...adios "shining city on a hill", hello Pottersville.
