Why the MAGA movement is the 1776 revolution of our time
foxnews.com ^ | Douglas MacKinnon

For the last number of years, I have been making the case that first businessman, then president, then former president and now President-elect Donald J. Trump has exhibited the courage, vision, genius and populism of our Founding Fathers.

This past July, Eric Trump appeared on "Jesse Watters Primetime," to discuss the assassination attempt against his father and Eric stressed in part: "We almost lost a great man. We almost lost a great leader. I truly believe a leader that will go down as a modern-day George Washington...

Eric Trump is correct. All the haters, the liberal media, and the corrupt professors and historians aside, Trump is a modern-day Washington and Jefferson. More than that, a strong case can be made that the tyranny of the far-left; the deep state; hate-filled college campuses; federal, state, and city prosecutors pushing false "lawfare" charges and the lies coming out of the Democratic Party and the Biden-Harris White House, far exceeded the tyranny and danger of the British crown in 1776 in some truly chilling, liberty-destroying ways.

...

Back in 1776, the vast majority of the wealthy in the colonies either remained silent or openly became "loyalists" to the British Crown. Why? They did not want to rock the boat or risk their wealth and privilege. They chose to do nothing or hide in the shadows while men with courage and vision stepped forward.

Men, who not only saw the evil of tyranny, but saw the future of their fellow colonists under that boot of tyranny. ...

And in a very real way, that MAGA movement became the "minutemen" of today. A group of citizens banding together as one beneath the view of the ever-watchful censorship state to respond to threats against their freedom and well-being in the fastest way possible.

Unless we do something drastic about “public education,” it won’t be.

No way. Voting isn’t even close to waging an all out war against the most impressive army and navy of the time.

An interesting comparison to history....but there is a better comparison. That's Herbert Hoover well over 90 years ago.

You know, before the 1929 market crash and his effort to pull out all the gubermint stops to fix the economy....that didn't get fixed until we went to war.

There is a documented, approximately 80-year cycle of massive change in our society that dates back to the 15th century and beyond to our Anglo roots of massive societal changes and upheaval. Our 80 years are way overdue and likely staring us in the face.

-Depression & WWII
-Civil War
-Revolutionary War
-Glorious Revolution
-Armada Crisis
-War of The Roses

Whether it is 1776 or 1929 (approximately two 80-year cycles with a huge civil war in between), massive destruction and much pain followed before we ever turned the corner.

Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.

The solution to 1984 is 1776.

Our Dems are on the 1984 road.

Since there is no shooting, I’d beg to differ.

until we start shooting progressives... this isn’t 1776.

it was 1750, at best. (when Americans started to wake up)

We don’t need a revolution:

We need to follow our mandate (our oath) and fully prosecute those responsible, including their followers. Most importantly, those who have violated their oath.

I submit that it’s time for full scale CWII, otherwise in 4 years - assuming that they permit DJT to be sworn - they’ll just return to their plans with “lessons learned.”

We may be witness to our last chance (”we” being those old enough to know the difference).

When Obozo the jug eared assclown slithered his way into the white hut that inspired the tea party movement. The demonrats/communists were successful in squashing that movement mainly because social media platforms were still pretty small and unsophisticated.

There is a difference. As John Adams himself acknowledged when he met him. George III was not a bad man, he was a man of principle and moral conviction and genuinely thought that his duty was in following the lead of his Parliament and restoring order to restive colonies defying the law.

Biden, Kamala have no principles, and no interest in the welfare of the American people, only in manipulating them into giving them power through gaslighting.

You wouldn’t have seen George III sniffing kids or sharing showers with his own daughter, nor would you have seen him facilitating the invasion of his lands with hostile, culturally incompatible foreign settlers or encouraging the destruction of the family unit.

You are correct, of course, but the machine is much larger than Biden and Kamala, they are merely the current monkeys that beat the drum and provide the distraction.

The existence of the machine is clearly a matter of record. It is the opposite of America's spirit; it is deeply embedded and enormous.

It has a name the use of which the public is subtly encouraged to avoid, and that makes it very difficult to defeat.
