I do want to apologize to both of you. Both of you are people I have tremendous respect for. You have both taught me an incredible amount over all these years at FR. I know I don’t talk with you much Impy, but truly, you are someone I look up to very much and I have a search for your posts bookmarked. I visit it very often to read your thoughts on things.
This is a day with a lot of emotions and I feel like I’m stuck with a choice between encouraging everyone to fight this fraud or giving up entirely, shutting down, and not engaging in politics or even bothering to vote ever again.
If we don’t force our side to stand up, we will lose everything for good. Vote by mail will not go away. The fraud will never stop. There will be no point in even participating in the system. Our way of life for our children and grandchildren is literally gone forever.
In order to make sure that doesn’t happen, I feel that we need to make sure we are steadfast.
This isn’t about Donald Trump. This is about everything we hold dear. Everything is on the line here and that isn’t hyperbole.
I wasn’t offended. I get it.
There’s a lot of talk here and Twit about “that’s it. Locked and loaded. Revolution.” blah blah.
How, exactly, does this take place? Whom does one shoot? Your neighbor who has his Biteme flag out? Some random person on a street?
I do not support what the Confederacy did, but they had a plan and much different (losing) circumstances for resistance. They had a geographic area and were mostly NOT mixed in with anti-slave people; they had a clear plan of secession under the wrong circumstances (i.e., Lincoln won); they at first did not plan to initiate hostilities (but did). But at least it was corporate, organized, massive and took four bloody years to put down.
What exactly are “our” people gonna do? Run to the government buildings in downtown PHX with a gun? And do what? Or rose yet, downtown Philly?
I”m not in any way knocking intentions or the rightness of the cause. I’m asking a simple question, how does the rhetoric translate into active resistance that actually achieves a goal?
