If all the remaining believing Christians and Jews were to pick an issue we could agree on and all go on a walkout until that issue was resolved in our favor, that might be a statement that the powers that be would listen to.
For example, those that own businesses would shutter them, and those that have salaried jobs would stop working until the congress and state legislatures pass a religious liberty amendment. Normally amendments take years to work through the process, but if 10-20% of the working population absents itself from the marketplace all at once, then we might get some action.
What I'm suggesting sounds radical. Many people who would like to join in would bow out for financial reasons or fears of losing their businesses or losing their jobs and never being employed again.
My take is that everything is now based on money. No amount of picketing or protesting or letter-writing is going to move our country back in the right direction. The only thing that the elites seem to care about is the bottom line. If a huge portion of the working population goes on strike, that might put some fear into them.
If we as a group are not willing to do something like this, then I fear that we are ultimately all on our own. Each family will need to fend for itself with the help of friends, fellow churchgoers, etc. The end game will be small enclaves of like believers trying to isolate themselves as much as possible from the culture while still trying to maintain a way of life, i.e. something like what the Amish are doing.
I fear that those enclaves will not only be bitter at the culture that has abandoned them, but at all the other enclaves that don't believe as they do. They will believe the other enclaves were just as much at fault as the culture itself. Basically the various Protestant enclaves and Catholic enclaves will spend as much time criticizing each other as they do the culture at large. There will be little or no inter-enclave interaction or support.
If we don't all stick together and act in a way that causes the elites to take notice, then we might as well start looking for property in remote parts of West Virginia, West Texas, or the Nevada desert.
We are considering this. Tennessee or Arkansas maybe. My wife pointed out that there are bad folks out in the country also; they are merely more spread out.
One of my meta goals is to surround my family with morally upright people in a physical sense. Any thoughts on finding an area peopled with mostly good folks?
Examples: We took a road trip to AR and saw lots of churches. We use that as a metric of morality.
Sadly, we also saw the effects of the influx of illegal Mexicans that Tyson hired when they fired all the Americans awhile back. We use that as a metric for crime.
Its too late. The system will crash and we and by we I mean the people who are left because a lot of us are too old, sick, or will get killed, will start over with a new system. Nobody will go Galt except a few brave single men. Every one else will hang on until there is nothing left to have false hope on.
