Americans are, by and large, fat, dumb and happy. It takes so much more energy to actually go out and do something than it takes to ***** about it on the internet. I mean, I get it. People have jobs, houses, cars, kids in college, and a litany of other things they are worried about. If conservatives actually go out and stand up for their rights, they will be labeled with some pretty horrible **** and lose all of those things. I mean, look at the example being made of the folks that rioted at the capitol on Jan 6th. No one charged with much more than trespassing, yet they are getting solitary confinement while awaiting trial, and if you believe the news, abused and beaten to boot. Nobody wants that.
Someone here said that the reckoning will come when people get uncomfortable, that Americans are just too comfortable right now to stand up and fight for what they believe. Perhaps. But I would counter that by the time things get really uncomfortable, it is going to be far too late. Hell, it's already too late.
For my part, I'm afraid that I just don't understand what people are waiting for. I come here, and I read a veritable encyclopedia full of grievances every day. How people are being stripped of their rights, taxed to death, socialism/communism taking a stronger hold, the media lies among other things, two-tiered justice system, double standards, state sanctioned racism to end racism, first amendment getting **** on, the border, attacks on the second amendment, defund the police, attacks on and murders of police officers, government and media justified riots that destroyed cities, businesses and lives and caused deaths, your vote stolen, illegitimate president, mask mandates, possible vaccine mandates, the lockdowns, perhaps another lockdown, the Jan 6th investigation, unjustified impeachments, disrespect of the anthem and the nation, the 1619 project, the Lincoln project, Critical Race Theory, removing history, bootlicking China, loss of energy independence, rising inflation, higher prices on everything, shortages of a growing number of products, people refusing to work, and on and on and on. And yet somehow, this isn't enough and there is still one remaining seminal moment that is going to move half the nation or more to stand up and be heard? I don't buy it.
The communists control education, media, a good portion of government and they are working on the military. The chance to do something just may have came and went years ago.
