How HAVE WE coped as things just kept getting worse. We talk about people sacrificing their lives for our country. That’s sort of easy since it is really involuntary. You don’t shoot yourself.

What is more difficult is sacrificing your comfort. John Adams talked of this.

So, you are gainfully employed. You have a wife and three kids. You’re not behind in your bills and you have a life most in the world only dream of having. What’s it gonna take to get you to break federal laws for political purposes?

That’s the problem.

That’s why Antifa can do what they do. They are people that really have nothing to lose either because they are losers already or so young as to not really have succeeded and really have no hope. It’s easy to act out when you have nothing to lose. It’s a bit more difficult when you have a LOT to lose.

Every person has a breaking point or their own line in the sand.

I fear we are going to see more people on both sides of the aisle find it. We are in for some ugly times.

In reality, Biden is just a different face on the same coin for the anarchist left. The main driver of extremism on the right is usually the 2nd Amendment and Biden is going to oblige them.

Well, they can do it because they have full or nearly full protection from liberal elites and the msm. The ones that do get arrested get either no bail release, or have lawyers appointed ot them by soros and hollywood pukes-

IF our side does it- they lock em up and throw away the key

I remember watching Hannity and Colmes years ago. Were they on CNN? Other than President Trump, nothing has gotten better since those days. It's still all talk. And gab. And position papers. Etc. Etc. Etc.

The time for talk has passed. I don't wish civil war, or secession, but we have been painted into a corner. We and our values have been relegated to the role of Untermenschen, essentially slaves for the Deep State.

But think how people will act that have a lot to lose and then lose it. Hell will then be unleashed as payback. Those young people you mention that don’t have anything to lose. They will not be breathing fire nearly like the ones that are soon to lose everything they had.

Antifa only really destroyed areas were the authorities agreed with them destroying it. I tend to think it would have been way different if the cops actually shot people throwing bricks and molotov cocktails at them.

But yeah, can’t see much ever happening while the poorest are the most likely to be obese in the US. I get the feeling we really haven’t scratched the surface of what will be tolerated while our present conditions exist.
