I do not think it is paranoia. It's listening to individuals and seeing how fed up they are with the socialist democrats.
I am hearing things from middle class conservatives who are finally speaking out on subjects that they felt were taboo just five years ago.
I know it sounds like a cliche, but people are getting tired of it and will not put up with it anymore.
I have friends who are buying guns, who five years ago, would not have even considered having a firearm in their home.
I have friends who don't volunteer for anything related to social justice because they feel used by the people they thought they were helping.
I have friends who don't mind being called racists because they know it doesn't matter if they are or they are not. Frankly they don't care anymore.
I do believe that there will be a civil war in my lifetime. I never thought that was possible five years ago.
Yup...they finally just wore me out.
I've always tried to prepare myself for that possibility.
If you think post #2 was interesting....
As time goes by, I find myself thinking the same more and more.
The Balkanization of our society is well underway, that's apparant. Divide and conquer, anyone?
Maybe all those Y2K scaremongers had the right idea for the wrong reason.
