Cognitive dissonance on display. Simply put, an evil American dictatorship is felt to be a contradiction. Killing innocents here can't happen. It is an impossible inconsistency.
By refusing to accept the seriousness of our situation, one can stick to the comfortable and American belief in elections. Election of the right people is all that is needed, and that belief is consistent with our tradition.
OTOH, if one accepts the fact that the Left seeks arbitrary power closer to that of Stalin rather than Ronald Reagan, that what little freedom we have exists at the pleasure of a few hundred people in DC, one has to decide what to do about it.
There is one peaceful option, so it must be pursued. It is as simple as that.
“There is one peaceful option”
Is there?
Yes, you are spot on...
I have always said, and it is basically a rhetorical question not intending a response by anyone in a public forum like this...
It is the ultimate patriotic “gut-check” question...
“What are YOU prepared to do about it? And, what are YOU willing to sacrifice for it?”
Most answers are different, based upon the individual and their level of commitment and courage...
But they are similar in desired outcome...
That is where we are united...We may be separated by internal boundaries, personalities and political tolerances...But we are on the same side...
Like I mentioned in another response here, I would like to think we have more than the 3% it took to beat a worlds super power at the time back in the beginning...
Care to expand on that option?
