Americans are an easygoing lot. We let bygones be bygones. If crazy Uncle Bob wants to rattle on at Thanksgiving dinner about global warming in the middle of the coldest winter in twenty years, we politely ask for more cranberry sauce.
We have been known as "the silent majority." We vote pretty often, but we don't donate to politicians or volunteer on campaigns. And we certainly don't protest at City Hall.
But this good nature is predicated on our government playing by the rules and staying out of our lives. (Watch the fun when someone from the government knocks on our door and offers to help.) We're old enough to have been taught about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in school, and we know that without fair and consistent rules, a successful society can't exist.
So when we see a systematic assault on our American rights that has a major impact on our daily lives, we start to wake up. And when it continues, we start to get angry.
The problem is that America is a very diverse culture. What is important to me may not be at the top of your list. If I am a man of faith and see attacks on religious freedom, someone who is a gun enthusiast might not care very much. But if someone tries to take away his rights to bear arms, watch out!
It looks as if the silent majority is finally seeing the writing on the wall. We are realizing that if we do nothing when the government comes for our neighbor, then there will be no one left to help when the government comes for us.

Thanks for posting....Our country is well on the way of splintering in a way that was unimaginable just a few years ago....
IMO, if we can’t two things right going forward we won’t have a country worth defending for much longer.
Free and Fair elections that we can all have confidence the outcome is correct even if our side loses...
A Judicial System that treats everyone the same regardless of race, status or political association.
Right now both of those areas are so completely out of whack it is rapidly tearing us apart....
In my limited travels around, I see more wallowing in stupidity than getting angry. I do hope my limited view is wrong.
we must band together to protect our country’s future and our way of life.
Maybe if we had a political party to represent us....
Stone Cold Ánger. Not to be confused with Miley’s made up “white rage”.
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the Deplorables began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Deplorables began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the Deplorables began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the Deplorables began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Deplorables began to hate.

“Free and Fair elections that we can all have confidence the outcome is correct even if our side loses...

I agree.
RINOs are the reason.
RINO-controlled state legislatures gave the Steal to Joe on a platter.
There IS something you can do. Support all Trump-endorsed primary challengers to these traitors in 2022. Donate to them directly, not through the RNC.
In the olden days, all a RINO had to do was to keep their mouth shut and the RNC would fund their campaign, and somehow there were always at least four "conservatives" running against them in the primary to split the opposition vote. Not any more. A tidal wave is coming for these traitors.
Get behind the Trump-endorsed candidate and purge these smug bastards. That should be our prime agenda. Stop squabbling over who is the most conservative of the challengers. That roads leads to vote splitting that puts the RINO traitor back in. Once Trump makes an endorsement, support him/her.
We do have a political party to represent us. It is far easier to purge the RINO traitors from the GOP than it is to start a third party.
Why should WE leave the GOP?
Purge the RINOs and let them start a third party.
That’s the way to go! I think Trump has already had quite a bit of success in remaking the GOP, and we’ve got to keep up the momentum.
That said, I don’t see that the “silent majority” is angry, or at any rate, angry enough to fight back. I’m not even sure it is the majority anymore. So many Americans are so hopelessly brainwashed that they aren’t even capable of getting angry.
It’s very discouraging.
Kaslin, excellent posting of this article. One of the best summaries of what the state of affairs is.
“I’m not even sure it is the majority anymore.”
We are in fact not in the majority any more. Thanks to open borders and the State department endlessly flying plane loads of refugees from every 3rd world country, along with apathy from people who refuse to wake up and see what is happening to this country we are pretty much already toast as a country.
Our 2A supplies are the only thing standing between some of us and what I am convinced is the left’s ultimate goal and that is genocide.
South Africa is our future.
People will get mad about inflation, shortages, and shutdowns. I’m not sure that values or ideology will provoke as much anger. Maybe something more like disaffection with Biden and a desire for something different.
You win the internet today!!!!!!
bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts must be purged at all costs!!!!
That is the only way out of this mess....
2022 needs to be the greatest slaughter of these people this country has ever seen.... or all is truly lost
Instructive tactically if true. But not determinative of the outcome. The tide turns in favor of the most determined, persistent, organized, clear-speaking, imaginative, and unflinching--especially when all seems fruitless and lost.
When in doubt, consult Valley Forge. A minority of colonists--sometimes as few as one-third--supported the creation of our country. But they were right.
The Constitution of the United States is like those exquisite productions of human industry which ensure wealth and renown to their inventors, but which are profitless in any other hands. This truth is exemplified by the condition of Mexico at the present time. The Mexicans were desirous of establishing a federal system, and they took the Federal Constitution of their neighbors, the Anglo-Americans, as their model, and copied it with considerable accuracy. But although they had borrowed the letter of the law, they were unable to create or to introduce the spirit and the sense which give it life. They were involved in ceaseless embarrassments between the mechanism of their double government; the sovereignty of the States and that of the Union perpetually exceeded their respective privileges, and entered into collision; and to the present day Mexico is alternately the victim of anarchy and the slave of military despotism. — Alexis De Tocqueville (Democracy In America).
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” - Thomas Jefferson
Unfortunately, he saw Biden coming.
JFK invited a group if intellectuals to a White Dinner and in his opening remarks he said, “This is perhaps the largest collection of intellect to be gathered at a White House dinner with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
“We are in fact not in the majority any more.”
Republicans control 30 state legislatures, while rats control 18.

As Levin suggests in “American Marxism”, we the people need to take our country back, from BOTH parties. I just don’t think enough of us are riled up yet.
