Well , even the staunch conservatives of Free Republic , were scared early in 2020 , with all the talk of a mysterious deadly disease sweeping the country and the world.

It would be interesting to go back into the archives of Free Republic, to see what people were saying then, versus what they say now.

The consensus now on Free Republic is that vaccine mandates are bad, wearing masks is bad , and shutting down the country as we did was bad. It’s easy to say that now but what were people saying then as we lived through it?

profound post by Mr. N. Wolfe bears repeating:

“Yes we are heading to a crisis, NO doubt about it. The ONLY question is: How will the American people react.”

Venezuela: The corrupt leftist, Nicolas Maduro, arrested his political opponent, Juan Guaido, during the 2019 election cycle. The people protested but Maduro was supported by the courts, the media and the military.

Brazil: The corrupt leftist, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula), arrested his political opponent, Jair Bolsonaro, during the 2020 election cycle. The people protested but Lula was supported by the courts, the media and the military.

I expect the same thing will happen in the USA.

When ever they need to unite the nation—Democrats always start a war a big one. WW III is waiting in the wings.

This sickness is consuming the entire world. I’d argue the world is looking to the USA, once something happens here it’ll trigger it everywhere.

When will the cowards at the RNC start to support Trump in these kangaroo court fiascos? They are useless!

You mean the military that left people to die in Afghanistan ? You mean the military that has furry & cross-dressing base commanders? You mean the military that has a female academy superintendent that has a wife? You mean the military that will pay for your sex transition? You mean the military that relieves “trannies” of PT requirements? I could go on!

That military? Who’s military are you talking about?

It’s one thing to be cautious. People are free to do that however they please.

But it’s another thing entirely when you have so-called “freedom-loving conservatives” who have the audacity to get on here and scold ME (and others) for refusing to shut down our businesses and hide under our beds.

Americans know democrats and rinos believe children should die or be sexually abused. Conservatives do not believe that way, thus where is the way Lord ….. What comes will come ….. may my tagline be what prevails

It is my belief that not only will Trump be cleared of ALL charges in ALL of these cases that he will then spend the rest of his life going after and suing everyone involved in this to his dying breath.

They’ll notice when they start getting hungry, but by then it will be too late.

How will the American people react.

 

That's the key question. People are just now starting to pay attention to this, but normalcy bias is going to be hard to overcome.

 

But this is not anything like normal, and IMHO the key to survival will be having enough people realize soon enough that this would be the end of the constitutional order and the rule of law.

 

Turning and turning in the widening gyre   
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst   
Are full of passionate intensity.

The Democrats never have a problem destroying the country to get what they want. They did it in the 1850s.

How did they "destroy" the country in 1850? By saying they wanted to leave?

Couldn't they have just been left alone without destroying anything?

“It is my belief that not only will Trump be cleared of ALL charges in ALL of these cases that he will then spend the rest of his life going after and suing everyone involved in this to his dying breath.”

Cleared how? By who? Rabid leftists in charge of the DOJ in multiple locations within the legal system? Have you seen any of the GOPers stand up and speak out against this “latest” travesty? All I hear is crickets and all I see is a bunch of spineless cowards sitting around with their complicit RINO buddies saying and doing nothing, as usual.

I think the DemonKKKrats want to refight the Civil War.I think when they lead President Trump to prison, it will be like the Confederates’ first shot at Fort Sumter.

After Lincoln ordered an attack against them with that fleet of warships.

I knew this country was doomed in the spring of 2020 when I saw how many simpering cowards we had posting from under their beds with masks on their faces right here on Free Republic.

Speaking of simpering cowards, how's Mike Pence doing lately?
