A new ‘Summer of Love’ in 2026?

Once again, Democrats are offering nothing affirmative in service to the American people. All they have is opposition to President Trump and Republicans. They’ve taken the 20% side of every 80/20 issue.

They have, however, leveraged a myriad of “flashpoints” in service to their get-out-the-vote efforts.

The Hands Off protests claimed that Republicans are pillaging Medicare and Social Security — inflaming Boomers to hit the streets in response.

Gun control activists hit the streets in response to the school shooting at the Annunciation Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, once again taking the (false) moral high ground of caring for children and gun violence, in spite of the fact that, as more gun laws are instituted, more gun violence ensues.

The FREE Gaza protests ran throughout the Summer and Fall of 2025, claiming that Israel was committing genocide in Palestine. They were ironically quiet at the Iranian regime’s crackdown on peaceful protesters.

The 50501 protests were in response to DOGE efforts to cut federal waste, fraud, and abuse. Elon Musk and his businesses were targeted personally, costing him billions of dollars.

The No Kings protests claimed that Donald Trump was trying to become a king and a totalitarian, while, ironically, Democrats now support returning actual totalitarian Nicolás Maduro to Venezuela.

Bernie Sanders and AOC hit several cities for the Fighting Oligarchs tour, blaming millionaires and billionaires for the plight of inequity in America.

The Democrat Government Shutdown lasted 43 days, with Democrats eventually passing the continuing resolution with the same provisions that were on the table when the C.R. was due on October 1.

Yes, they have to keep their radical base stirred up and make it dangerous for conservatives to go about their business.

Yes. America hating Collectivists will not allow us to have a happy 250th birthday party. They hate life.
Primarily their own.

It will be hailed as the Second American Revolution, and I think we should expect a full-court press with constant rioting, destruction of cities, and assassinations. Gloomy, but would seem quite possible.

How about a summer of state of siege?

But not wait for summer?

This ain’t the garden of Eden
There ain’t no angels above
And things ain’t like what they used to be
And this ain’t the summer of love

Doesn’t matter. Their controlled opposition (the GOP) always seizes defeat from the jaws of victory.

This is why real American patriots should be carrying, every day and everywhere. Always be ready to defend yourself and family.

When one or two attackers take incoming fire, the rest seem to lose their desire to press the attack.

They must be taught fear and respect, not coddled by meek acceptance and inaction in the face of their aggression.

I would agree. And to trust our instincts. If a place or situation feels unsafe, it very likely is. Remove yourself from the situation or place. Perhaps more importantly, be aware that such places exist, and avoid them in the first place. I have found myself behind enemy lines a couple of times. The vibe is palpable. Basic rules: avoid urban areas, keep car doors and everything else locked up, no solo travel, stay aware, and don’t hesitate to get the hell out at the slightest hint that things aren’t right. I feel very blessed to live where I do.
