With a stolen election, stolen culture, stolen courts and stolen dreams, many Americans are realizing that rule by the Left, absolutely corrupt even without absolute power, is unthinkable. Talk of secession, something continually entertained in various states throughout history, is again in the air. The problem is that for the most part, we’ve been supinely submissive in the face of burgeoning leftist tyranny. So it would help if there were something between secession and our current slouching toward servitude. And there is.
Too many conservatives are also waxing defeatist, saying “The republic is dead; our freedoms are gone.” And, yes, if we continue operating inside the box and being “conservative” — as in status-quo oriented — we can kiss our (remaining) liberties goodbye. But the left isn’t constrained by any box, except what’s physically and politically possible; it doesn’t abide by rules, laws, social codes or conventions except when convenient. So why should we remain in any box except that which is divinely ordained?
Embracing Mao’s sentiment that “[p]olitical power grows out of the barrel of a gun,” the left trades in violence, violence done to political opponents and to our culture, history, heroes, Constitution and just liberties. Now having seized power in government’s executive and legislative branches via the violence of electoral theft, the left aims to use that power to become autocratic. As to how we should respond, remember:
Only power negates power.

“Too many conservatives are also waxing defeatist, saying “The republic is dead; our freedoms are gone.”
That’s not defeatist.. that’s reality. It’s to stop with the fantasy of returning this country to its former glory. NOTHING will bring unity.. not even a repeat of 9/11 would accomplish that, considering half the population would be cheering for the terrorists. Reagan’s “shining city on a hill” has been replaced with a blighted mess.
The basic argument is that the states DJT won should form a compact and begin a nullification movement led by county sheriffs with the aim of nullifying all unjust federal dictates; conclusion: Only power negates power, and our choice is simple: Accept that and nullify tyranny - or go gentle into that good night.
Nullification was fought over in Andrew Jackson’s time. And nullification lost. Trump in the early days of his presidency came out against nullification by sanctuary cities. Next!
They really are a cancer. Who wants to go into battle with the guy on your left constantly screaming "We're all going to die, we'll never win, the enemy is ten feet tall, ..." Either man up for the fight, fight to the death, or just shut the hell up and go to the rear lines and hide out with the women and children in some bunker.
What’s needed is recourse to SCOTUS ruling nullification, either in the state legislatures or Congress. You can’t leave it up to every sheriff or mayor to decide what dictates of the federal government to follow.
De-Tocqueville, in 1834, said that in America there is centralized authority, but decentralized administration. That is what should be gotten back to.
Reagan gave his most iconic speech in 1964 "A Time for Choosing" when it was the bleakest for the GOP. Goldwater was about to get blown out by Johnson, Johnson was proposing massive new socialist programs, ...
Reagan was not a defeatist LOSER, accepting "realty". He kept fighting the good fight, never quitting, rallying the troops, and the rest is history.
“go into battle”? What does that look like? If its with our vote, then its a losing battle as our votes is now meaningless as losing as Dems run the high population areas. So why bother?
Fix my typo:

Seems the author didn’t get the memo (just as the DNC hopes).
Useful idiots, useless idiots.
Biden and the DNC hoped to change the narrative from a stolen election to a fight over EOs and impeachment. We know they know we can never gain power with them still alive from this coup. They will only continue to use Jackboots and ban White culture in the public arena. Now they want to ban republicans and conservatives from jobs, schools, banking services and paychecks.
Conservatives don’t have to kill anyone to bring the DNC to it’s knees - it just requires the destruction of all the railroads and highway exchanges on the outskirts of major cities and they will bargain for eggs, butter and milk. I say let them eat cake and learn to code.
That was a far different landscape with a far larger political middle ground. The political middle is all but gone in this country.
Next Tour of Duty game will have soldiers protecting Congress from the people, parked and shivering in the cold, whining about their assignment, with many a Blue Heart to be issued.
Speaking of secession, would it be helpful for some states with R legislatures and D senators (looking at you, Georgia/Michigan/Penn), to secede away from their big cities to become their own states? E.g., let Fulton/DeKalb become a state that will govern itself, while the rest of Georgia does likewise? We would just need the legislature and governor (GA! sort of), plus Congress and Presidency (soon, my pretties).
If the Ds can play games with DC/PR, we can reciprocate.
I’m hoping the Confederacy rises again.
“I say let them eat cake and learn to code.”
And the industrial-scale farm products will be sold where? How much butter can you put on the bread you yourself eat? Where will the rest of the butter and the rest of the bread go?
“Only power negates power.”
That’s probably why the GOP has been crafted to be so weak. That’s probably why the Left has sought to pathologize anything that might stand up to it. The Left understands power.
Demographics is destiny.
1964 != 2021
At a minimum these things are very doable:
1) Primary out the gutless wonders in red state legislatures in 2022 who did nothing to insure honest elections.
2) Don't let rat/Soros SOS's who control the vote process in RED states, sneak in again via off the radar campaigns that our side ignores, enabling them to get into office.
3) Primary out the gutless wonder rhino Governors
4) Vote in honest judges
So many things can be done. DeSantis showed the way. Cleaned up perpetual fraud centers in Dade and Broward.
Winners always think of how they can win. Losers always think of all the reasons why they will fail. Since it's SuperBowl time, I'll reference one of my favorite winners, Tom Brady. Just read the initial scouting reports on Brady, was the worse in almost every area compared to his peers in that draft. They all went on to be NOBODIES, Brady is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks ever. Why? He had an indomitable will to win. Same with my favorite basketball player, Larry Bird. Slow, can't jump, blah, blah. indomitable will to win. The greatest money player who ever played the game. Pat Ryan (coach of the Lakers, arch nemesis) gave him the greatest compliment. "If I had to pick a player to make a shot when a Championship was on the line, I would pick Micheal Jordan. If I had to pick someone to make a shot when my life was on the line, I would pick Larry Bird".
