The leftists are the Albanians—with their primitive and anti-Christian behavior.

Most of us poor beleaguered Americans—especially the Christian victims of leftist church- and icon-burning—are the Serbs!!!!

The way this is playing out, it’s going to be much worse than most people imagine. Anyone who hasn’t seen the Michelle Malkin attack, needs to watch the video.

If you think all the police (or military) are loyal to the Constitution, you haven’t been paying attention. Who is getting hurt? Who is getting arrested?

I will be voting, but I, in no way, believe this will be solved in November. Trump has proven himself an amazing president, and he has accomplished much; however, he is one man against a system that is corrupt to its core. Add in academia, big tech, media monopolies, multinational corporations, with a significant percentage of the population who believe the propaganda, and you may have an inkling of the scope. This is not a physical battle, but a spiritual war. All the lead in the world won’t save us from the father of lies—we’ve reached the tipping point when speaking the truth is not only revolutionary, but criminal.

Remember Charlie Trie, Loral Space, etc.?

```
All of them

There is a site, if its still up, that covered all of it: Truth in Media. You might have to dig around. The war was well documented there, including all the media photo tricks and the Albanian deceptions

I think many of the moderates will be choosing suicide, and are secretly hoping that someone will come to the bridge and jump in to save them.

Start over with a .22 and you’ll do just fine.

This. I strongly recommend .22 LR for new shooters. The arguments about it being an inadequate defense caliber are valid, but not relevant to anyone trying to get used to handling firearms safely and effectively. And I’ve watched too many videos of violent assailants shrugging off multiple 9 mm hits from police and continuing to fight for 30-60 seconds.

If you are new and your attacker is the type to be dissuaded by gunfire, a .22 is more than adequate. If your attacker weighs 300 pounds and is insanely violent, on the other hand, even a .45 might not be enough - absent an accurate head or chest shot, which a new shooter is unlikely to have the skill to pull off.

“He’s too optimistic. The “backlash” has to be swift, all-encompassing, and boundlessly brutal in order to succeed. Ballots alone won’t do it this time around.”

I hope he’s right, but sadly I’m of the same mind as you.

“It is not an issue of race. It is an issue of seizure of power by those who believe in elitism.”

It is both. It is an issue of race AND leftism. The two issues are symbiotic.

I cannot imagine a scenario where the “Progressives” could demoralize their opposition. That would be the key to any semblance of them winning. Therefore all this is wasted energy. They’ve already lost.

Not sure what parts of Portland you have been in ... yes, a lot of white leftists there .... but typical of West Coast, Portland has a good size in Asian population, it is a far cry from very lily-white VT.

For the rest of the reasons you gave about VT ... variables other than being heavily armed in VT - keep riots away. But one cannot negate the racial make-up as a significant factor in VT. There are small Southern peaceful integrated towns, smaller than Burlington VT - it wasn’t the local town folk who came out to attempt or lead an effort to tear down statutes, riot, use the racial demographic of the residents to achieve their political goals. Just the do-gooder leftists from elsewhere, with connections in the larger cities elsewhere in the state, and Confederate statues weren’t they only thing they were after... ... but had to start it Charlie Manson style - using race. Can’t do that in VT.

True. I was focusing mainly on the black minority population.

It's easy to ignore the Asians. They sure as hell ain't the ones rioting out there in the streets.

“This is not a physical battle, but a spiritual war.”

Well put.

Progressivism is a religion, a belief system. It has replaced God with humanism and Marxism.

It has doctrine, high priests and priestesses, televangelism, worship gatherings, rituals and sacrifices. It wants control over all. It tolerates NO disagreement with it or its minions. It works to destroy vocal infidels. (Gee, what religions does this sound like?)

“Progressivism is a religion, a belief system... what religions does this sound like?”

Like all religions, except Christianity, if one counts it as one-though I do not. Religion is man trying to do good for God’s grace, while Christ’s grace counts all our effort as naught; but, at the price of our pride.

A culture that denies God and nature will believe anything, and we stare into the maw of our own hubris.

Here is just one of the things we get from the hard left progressive agenda:
