Yes, I concur that it is a conundrum that we find ourselves in. My personal take is that we need to be more strategic in terms of achieving long term goals by working on expanding our gains from our local ecosystems outwards.DEB wrote: ↑Sat Feb 06, 2021 11:41 amI don't want to seem like I am spreading thoughts of any anti-government insurrection, because I am not. But what are the better ways you suggest? IMO, The vote no longer is a valid means to change. Texas and other like minded states attempted to go to the Courts, wasn't even entertained. Individuals attempted to go to the courts, again not even entertained. So, the way I see it, one either just gives up or ... what? I am one of those who now must eat any of the slop given to me, deviancy, murder, lies, cheating, the move to destroy the practice of my religion, and I firmly believe a soon to be attempt to fully disarm me and those who think as I. I don't know, kinda between a rock and a hard place. I know I have to live within this new world order, so I will do my best, while trying to maintain my Christian world view.
Legal political activism in full swing focusing not only on Senate, House etc. but all the way down to the school boards, commissioners, essentially every single elected office no matter how small.
While this may not be true across the board, many sat on their behinds and only got active when the elections are at the State or Federal level, bypassing council meetings, school boards and such. And I get it. No everyone has time to be fully plugged in everywhere, but, that is a blind spot that the enemy of our Freedoms has been very diligent in seizing, and in turn, we must regain ground there.
We didn’t get into this pickle overnight and we surely won’t get out of it soon. But, there’s hope as the Libs are even worse at governing then the Rs. The time is not on their side, remember the Alinsky’s “a tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag” quote...That is why they will do everything possible to poke at you in an effort to elicit a irrational and unlawful response that will be used to further clobber away the Rights from you.
Patience is the key, along with community organizing (yes, that is the tactic of the enemy of Freedoms and guess what...it is working), local level political involving, working on public relation/image building etc. We have sat on our butts and have allowed the communist pigs to define us through propaganda and community activism. That must be countered through some of the things I wrote above, but smashing windows, breaking into buildings and/or engaging in unlawful behavior will do zero to get us where we need to be.
