I am finding the hysteria amusing. And actually somewhat comforting. Because in the event of economic collapse or a revolution or social unrest, after seeing how these people fall apart for the smallest of reasons I know without a doubt our side will win.

How do you fight a war or handle economic deprivations if you have to go run to your safe space because a politician tweeted something you didn’t like.

These people won’t last long. They are only being propped up by a socialist government. With each generation they get weaker and weaker, incapable of thinking for themselves or of understanding logic or of taking care of themselves. They are pitiful

In theory, I agree that lack of fortitudinous folk on constant display fortifies my belief that we are increasing while they are crumbling.

In practice, this also means this pathetic lot is all the more susceptible to manipulation by some hard-line dictator-in-waiting who promises that Deplorables will be dealt with "appropriately" if elected. Furthermore, just like the waves of Chinese who poured over the NK border when the allied forces were knocking during the Korean War, if these people feel like they have nothing for which to live I can see them becoming weaponized.

Yes, I know...they can barely handle daylight. And yea...we have more ordnance. But history hath shewn that people are capable of incredible things - both good and bad - when backed into a corner. This isn't something to fret about...but it's worth monitoring.

This is why movements like #Walkaway are so attacked by the statists - on the left and #NeverTrump/Deep State crowd - because they have the potential to give hope to these crumbling snowflakes, and convert some of them into centrists...then right-leaning thinkers, then Deplorables. Imagine heretofore Liberals of all sizes and shapes suddenly coming into the Light...now THAT would be more heartening to me than what's on display today.

Pie-in-the-Sky? Maybe. But then this was considered a done deal 2 years ago...
