..... you can vote for change all you want, but you ain't gonna get any. And that leads nowhere good.

Are we going to fight or are we going to knuckle-under to tyranny? The people who founded this country would already be in rebellion.

How to fight? As Steyn points out (and you quoted his last line), this coup is so firmly embedded in the deep state that it is becoming clear that it cannot be rooted out.

The ballot box clearly does not work against the too-big, too-powerful, too-rich deep state.

Republicans are mostly useless and won’t engage. They are like “moderate” muslims; all too happy to watch the “extremists” murder the innocent infidels and not speak out against it.

Armed rebellion won’t work because of the asymmetry of weapons and intelligence.

An army of insurgents and snipers over the next 40 or 50 years? The US would look like Lebanon or Syria after a decade or two.

The colonials assaulted governors’ houses; tarred and feathered tax and duty collectors working for the British; threw tea into harbors. What are the equivalent acts today?

It’s been said that in the colonies by 1775, one-third were patriot and willing to fight; one-third were loyal to the king; and one-third were neutral and wanted to be left alone. It is amazing that the one-third patriots got things going over a period of ten or twelve years.

Steyn scoops the coup. It is frightening.
