Still have no idea why Trump made Rick Perry Sec. of Energy. Perry is a RINO and he didn’t stand a chance against Trump in 2016.

Socialist politicians don’t fear protests and rallies much. They do fear and complain about the NRA, because money talks, especially money that goes into campaigns.

I think you’re right. My question to them would be “Where the hell have you been”?

Standard answers

One vote doesn’t matter.

Their all crooks and will do whatever they want anyway.

Their all in the bag to the big donors.

Local elections don’t mean anything. It’s all decided in Washington.

People are basically lazy. They don’t care about politics until their ox is gored.

Unfortunately, if they were paying attention they would realize the their ox has been being gored every year since the Civil War.

This is a great start.

Needs to spread like wildfire.

The 2nd amendment is guaranteed to all Americans by God!

“People are basically lazy. They don’t care about politics until their ox is gored”.

Exactly right. Too many people don’t care unless it affects them personally. They cannot see the big picture.

That is why discussions which try to persuade or dissuade an individual must center on how certain things adversely affect that individual.

I know there are many Dem gun owners who own guns for protection or hunting but they still vote Dem. They cannot connect the dots.

Surely sedition against an enumerated constitutional right is impeachable?

“Surely sedition against an enumerated constitutional right is impeachable?”

Sure but the impeachment would have to be done by the democrat House of Delegates and the Democrat dominated Senate. Ain’t gonna happen.

Northern Virginia elected a tranny, Richmond elected a Ilhan Omar clone and other northern counties elected bunches of womyn.
Separation from the northern counties is the only solution I can see.

There would have to be teams sent out for confiscation, organizations easy to see. Not sure who's stupid enough to think they can actually confiscate anything and survive past day 1 and have their family survive too.

glad you've got it all planned out.        civil warfare may not go according to your plan.

“They are clearly violating the US Constitution under 2A, 4A, and 5A rights.”

Yes but the democrats now hold all three branches of government in Virginia. It would have to play out in the courts and we both know that would take forever to find its way to SCOTUS.

Not necessarily, as three Amendments are under direct attack by a state government, the USSC came claim jurisdiction to decide the case. I forget what they call it when the USSC does that, and they have done it in the past.

I didn’t know that.
Thanks for the information.
I’m praying for the best but preparing for the worst.

likewise because if the worst happens I will be among the first to go down. I swore an oath 34 years ago and I am still bound by it.

It will be interesting to watch. I don’t live anywhere near Virginia but I don’t think people will give up their guns peaceably but it’s all conjecture right now.

No plan survives first contact my friend.

Old guys are better. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

Plus they don’t care as much about having a long happy life.

Same as voters in West Virginia after HELLARY saying she would put coal mines out of business people who never voted before got off their asses AND VOTED!!! These STUPID DEMS just keep pushing the envelope, I think that THEY THINK the transition of the younger generation is complete after attending the propaganda factories for the last couple of decades making SURE that getting a job would be next to impossible without attending these USELESS universities brainwashing them!! One thing they didn’t realize was these young people DON’T VOTE, they are to lazy!!! The ONLY damn reason they are in the streets protesting is because SOROS is paying them to do so, and they need the money to buy pot!!!

I think that for a lot of Democrats that Liberalism is their religion rather than their party.

From welfare to abortion these people take Democratic policies as articles of faith.

This is why when Hillary lost the election unexpectedly there was the wailing grief, the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments to be seen at the Democrat watch parties all across the nation. The only things missing was the wearing sack cloth and ashes in the hair.

The virtue signaling of Democrats is another sign. They show each other how devout they are by displaying how woke they are. Voting for Obama the First Black President (if you don’t count Bill Clinton) even though he had destroyed the economy and ballooned the national debt into the stratosphere was a BIG virtue signal.

They can’t not vote Democrat because it would be like leaving the Jehovah Witnesses to become a Scientologist. It would be a completely different belief system.

A strategic fighter does not just run into battle sacrificing themselves. While this is always possible, it should be an absolute last resort.

First, know your opposition better than you know yourself.
Profile everyone of them. Who are the people against you? Create a chart diagram and learn all about them. Be strategic and turn their own system against them.

What is their family situation?
Divorces?
Affairs?
Lawsuits?
Bankruptcies?
Problem teenagers?
Neighbors?
IRS problems?
Criminal records?

What businesses do they own or where do they work?
Are they paying employees under the table? (including household employees?)
Who are their employees?
Who are their customers?
Who are their business associates?
What professional licenses do they hold subject to regulatory boards?
What social/business organizations do they belong to?

What real estate do they own?
What are the zoning violations?

Who are their extended family members and where do they live and work?

All battles are local and if you can put pressure on your opposition in their immediate locality it will have the greatest impact.

Do not turn to violence or public opinion and the law will turn against you. Stay peaceful and keep pointing fingers. Your opposition has many skeletons in their closet. Expose them.

Make the battle personal. Those who have the greatest assets and feel they are in power have the most to lose and will quickly turn when they are at risk personally.

I watched the Scientology organization (which I do not agree with in any way or support) take on the IRS and beat them in order to get tax free church status. They actually started employee whistle blower organizations within the IRS. They actively recruited the IRS employees to their religious services.

They identified the top IRS officials and all personal real estate they owned and started filing zoning violation complaints. They are an excellent case study in how to take on the bureaucracy.

No violence or you will lose.

I once observed a nasty politician fold when a 3 ft by 6 ft banner was hung in front of his church on Sunday morning exposing his misdeeds. Simple can be low cost, quick and effective.

If your opposition has greater problems than the cause you oppose them on, they will turn their focus away from you.
