America’s “silent majority” must speak out to protect the nation’s foundation from the left, said Douglas Murray, author of The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity, offering his analysis on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Murray described a growing political divide — predicated on conflicting perceptions of America’s past — across America possibly leading to civil war.
“I think there is a fundamental divide which occurs in societies on occasion, and it should be eased rather than accentuated, and it’s been accentuated in the U.S. in recent years, and it’s for this one particularly concerning issue, which is that whatever discussions and debates people have over where America should be going, you do so — or you did so — from the premise that you agreed on the American past.”
“But now there are these two totally contrary [and] contradictory views of the American past,” continued Murray, remarking on left-wing historical revisionism. “One [side] sees the American past as what most of us think of it as being, the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and much more. Another group of people sees America as an irredeemable country, which not only isn’t exceptional but is exceptional only in its terribleness.”

“The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity”
Might actually be a very interesting read.
Excuse me? What exactly are we supposed to do? Go to Portland and take on the mob that the Mayor won’t touch? Maybe we could also riot peacefully? We could put up Trump flags and get our houses egged and torched? ‘scuse me, but for some silly reason I expected that elected officials were the ones who were to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.” We elected them to do that. We pay them to do that. Where the heck are they? Do you suggest we go to their offices and ask them why they are so lame?
Trump has been trying to quietly encourage this. But standing up to the mobs will get you arrested in the lands occupied by Soros DA’s.
Oh I see - he wrote a BOOK to challenge us to do something. Would it count if WE wrote a book and spoke up for the Constitution? Not for much (Professor?) Murray. Because writing a book ... pish.
How bout the left hears a loud report from the silent majority. That’ll wake em up.
Voice. U R naive. What’s needed is a national stand-your-ground law.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.

I agree when he writes....”Left-wing activism is “a new religion that is being forced onto America,... He described leftism as providing “purpose for existence” in lieu of traditional institutions and norms being ‘undermined’.”
People don’t need to risk their lives, they just need to raise their voices...and yes it might cost you something - freedom always does. Did you think it was free?
Better yet, form every braggards with 6 AR15’s and 10,000 rounds or ammo into “The 2nd Admendment Freedom Militia!” The Dems have 2 terrorist groups, BLM and ANTIFA, I say Trump throws down the ultimatum that the Dems denounce both groups, and declare them as domestic enemies, or he will encourge all Trump supporters with weapons to peacefully demonstrate to protect property and lives. And if they they have to shoot a few of them, he will use his power to immediately pardon them. Oh and BTW, they will be stationed at every post office in the county to ensure fare and safe elections. Dems would all have heart attacks!
BTW...Do you think these boat parades, truck parades, golf cart, bike and motrcyle parades are only to support Trump? The silent majority is ‘showing’ these thugs who they’ll be contending with if they keep it up......God wrks likethat....he always lets us know what’s coming....and the silent majority is ‘showing up’.....do not underestimate this ‘power’.
Plan accordingly.
Quite a few talk a good game in between innings to maintain their conservative facade, but when the rubber meets the road on important issues they suddenly turn into defense attorneys for the oppressors. At least that's the way it looks to me.
It was at that point I knew that when push came to shove I was going to be hung out to dry by a good percentage of the people on my own side.
I have made my peace with it. But I insist on holding up the mirror so they can see what they are doing.
Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me.
All these “woke” cancel culture people are just leftists minorites on twitter and facebook who scream the loudest and the media uses their “outrage” to create news stories as if they are actually people who matter outside of NYC and LA.

exactly
the ONLY thing to do is elect people against this BS and HOPE they’re telling the truth.
Maybe run these corrupt judges and DA’s out of their office after enough opposition to their Marxists BS is elected.
Just remember when they are standing on your lawn screaming for your blood that there are people on FR that are perfectly ok with YOU being arrested.
Plan accordingly.

those people are neocons or trolls
They are people who still believe that we live in a civil society and that if you just give it time the system will work.
They don't understand that the system is rigged, the police are not your friends and the bloody time is upon us.
They will tell you that the democrats are idealists that do not realize the harm their plans cause.
And they will mean it.
Raise your long guns.
