I don't see it as defeatism per se but rather recognizing that we as a nation are not only experiencing the effects of uncontrolled migration but we are also witnessing a steady erosion of our freedoms, democracy and the rule of law. If we don't sound the alarm and counter the threats, we WILL be defeated. Ann is prone to hyperbole but she is in some respects a modern day Paul Revere. Trouble is coming down the road.
I do not think Trump was elected because he ran as a Republican. He was elected because of his ideas in making the country great again.
I completely agree with you. In fact, many people voted for him to send a clear message to the GOP. They are not happy with a party that lacks conviction, determination and leadership. I think many would leave the GOP if Trump formed a new party that is responsive to conservative interests.
If the corruption does not end, then there will likely be a reset via CW.
I hear this a lot but respectfully disagree. As a former member of the Tea Party I remember how difficult it was to get "patriots" off their couches to attend a rally for a couple of hours. Most Americans lead comfortable lives and are not inclined to engage in any kind of protest, much less violence. I think its more likely we will see a steady erosion of our ideals, increasing corruption, and a continued expansion of big government which both parties seem to love. Any serious push back will come about as a result of severe economic hardship, which I think is inevitable. Our debt problem is routinely swept under the rug but the monster will eventually rear its ugly head and that's when the SHTF.
I don’t agree.
Yes, it’s hard to get working people who have responsibilities to come to rallies they don’t have time to attend. I get that. I get that that is what the left is using against us.
People will sit on the couch and take it as long as it’s cheaper to do that than to go the alternative route. However, there is a point at which it’s more expensive to sit still. When that point is crossed, things will change in almost an eye blink. It will be like the gates to hell opening.
I cannot tell you where that line is. Maybe it’s guns, maybe it’s free speech, maybe it’s economy. In all likelihood it’s some combination of all of those and more that I didn’t name that will create the right mix.
