Will fortune favor the Democrats forever? In times like these, historical events often serve as a reliable guide to help us interpret what we're experiencing

In times like these, historical events often serve as a reliable guide to help us interpret what we're experiencing.

The events at the Capitol on January 6 were certainly tumultuous and a harbinger of things to come.  The Democrats are nothing if not ruthless and opportunistic.  That they favor party and power far more than the national good is well established, with decades of behavior and actions as proof.  They see January 6 as nothing more than an opportunity to expand their power and diminish their political opponents.

The Democrats' very governing approach is one of pure cynicism and illustrates quite clearly that power and control are all they are really interested in.  For years, the Democrats have simply divided the electorate up into what they identify as victim groups.  The groups themselves may vary a bit from election cycle to election cycle, depending on the exact social winds that happen to be blowing at that particular time, but the pattern never varies:

Democrats are never really concerned with the country as a whole; instead, they continually select "winners" and "losers," adhering to distorted, counterproductive views of so-called social justice, racial quotas, diversity, and equality of outcome that run exactly counter to the merit-based, entrepreneurial, self-sufficient spirit on which this country was founded.  It doesn't matter to the Democrats that their taxpayer-funded solutions never work.  Their goal is to buy the votes, not to fix the problem.  Indeed, they need the problem to exist in perpetuity as justification for their actions.

Today, things look grim for the conservative faction.  The Progressives appear to have a distinct advantage, and they are looking for the quick knockout.  Consider:

There doesn't seem to be any way to stop the Democrats from conquering everything in their path.  The traditional capitalistic, merit-based America appears as if it will fall any moment.

Not so fast.  History is instructive.  Human nature begets overreach and unfounded arrogance.  The Allies smugly and dismissively felt that the war in Europe would be over by late fall or early winter of 1944.  But German resistance stiffened.  The Allies flopped with their ill conceived Operation Market Garden in Holland in September 1944, which was supposed to end the war quickly.  Shortly thereafter, the Germans unexpectedly launched a bold counterattack in the Ardennes in December 1944, a campaign that resulted in the greatest number of American casualties in the European war.  The Americans, with their overwhelming numerical superiority in manpower and equipment, eventually prevailed, but these two events were instrumental in prolonging the war by another eight months, at a cost of tens of thousands of additional casualties.

The landscape looks to be to the Democrats' advantage right now. But unforeseen and unpredictable dangers await them. Fortunes can and do shift dramatically and quickly. The side that ignores that axiom does so at its peril.

RE: If my people...

God said to Abraham that He would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if there were a mere 10 righteous people. Surely there are millions of righteous people here in this country...

It's possible. It's also possible that the present Democrat/Stalinist overthrow will last four generations, as did the Soviet Union, and has the PRC. That is my greatest fear.

It’s not fortune, it’s fraud.

As long as they’re using Dominion voting machines, Yes.

That’s always, until you go Venezuela. Then it’s leftism until society completely dies.

My concern is that is where we are.

Criticism of article, not poster:

Am I right that he just used the example of the Germans in 1944 looking like conservatives now (not lookin' good), and then the Germans mounted a surprisingly strong resistance?

... but they lost the war soon after?

Am I missing something or is this a rather bad example?

As for me, I don't think conservatives and freedom are doomed (like the Germans in WW2,) I just think this half time pep speech is kind of like saying 'hey don't worry we'll mount a hearty fight in the third quarter and THEN we'll lose in the 4th quarter, so it's all good.' (???)

It could last far longer than that. The Soviet Union had people in charge and people tire. The leftist elites are putting machines in charge, but machines don’t tire.

The only thing that would break that is the Second Coming of Christ.

With MAIL IN voting, demonrats will never lose again. Check out Oregon.
MAIL IN VOTING AND VOTING MACHINES MUST BE OUTLAWED TO HAVE FAIR ELECTIONS.
FAIR ELECTION:
Paper ballots
citizen IDs
state resident IDs

How do you take your money to another country?

You do like South Africans did. Buy a yacht with all your money and sail away to the Land of Liberty. Then sell your yacht.

Might have to redesignate a new Land of Liberty though.

Or just keep the yacht, and your mobile freedom.

Nope..the bible ain’t gonna help. God wants us to be courageous and take those first step of faith with courage and not cower to satan! We are at the beginning stage the Venezuela people experienced. And it got worse by the fraud that evil communist bastard Maduro perpetrated upon his people by fixing it where his cronies won ALL political seats. They too were fighters and they too were quickly subdued by their government and now the pit of hell hole their president has dug for them is too deep to crawl out! That country is baked. That’s our future if we don’t fight back and win with the strength of ruthlessness!!

The only way to stop this is if the Lord calls home a RAT senator in a state with a GOP governor. Of course, home does not necessarily mean up.

They are no longer Democrats. They are now, The Dominion. While they control the voting machines, yes fortune will shine on them.
