This is just my opinion, but to start out, you have to remember that they truly, truly believe in "all powerful" government.  It is their religion.  

Trump's (and our) fervent desire for reduction in government and power "to the people" is utter heresy to them.

It all boils down to this: They are really trying to kick off "the boog". They want us to rise up so they can actually come after anyone that does not line up with them ideologically.  Legally, socially, physically, it's all on the table.

What we've seen so far is extremely serious, but they are essentially shots across the bow.  We can't fall into the trap.  We have to resist the urge to be the hammer that sticks up because they are now in "SMASH IT FLAT" mode.  It's not fair, it's not right, and it's not just but it is what it is.

We have to deescalate somehow and find political resolutions to this.  America is NOT about persecution of minorities, even if that minority is white Christian gun owners.  People CANNOT go off half cocked willy nilly - because if this conflict they are pushing us toward goes hot, then we will be reduced to two choices:

1.  Completely WIN and replace the whole show......or
2.  Be reduced to the status of the Uyghers in China.....the end goal of the Left.

Because they are evil, vindictive and stupid.

They think they've won and can now make their "perfect world" with nothing to stop them but they are only radicalizing the other 1/2 of the country and polarizing the country even more... until it finally breaks.

At one time very few people knew your politics.

With social media and the internet, everyone feels free to express every thought in their head.

They belong to an ideology that has denied human rights across the globe for a century, killed more human beings than any other single organization in human history...they are evil. They are beneath us. And they hate us for it.

It’s a necessary process to resolve the dialectic of conflict. Thesis antithesis synthesis


• Traditional American life was the thesis

• Leftist opposition (close to peaking) is the antithesis

• Modern conservatives are the synthesis

Something I just found when searching “Thesis antithesis synthesis” on my phone, the above longer description is no longer there, replaced by this abbreviated version with no link to Wikipedia. Probably a mistake on my part...

Because its been made openly acceptable to persecute Conservatives.   They own all the major institutions of cultural influence.  Coporations are downstream from culture and therefore so are politics.  If you don't like it, you gotta vote with your dollars.  Dont watch movies from liberal hollywood.  Quit paying to see Liberal rock bands that hate you.  Easier said than done but it would be a lot easier to do if we had alternatives.  Pay to see Run, Hide, Fight.  It's a start.

No it hasn't.

A blatantly stolen election does not equal the "pendulum has swung".

Unlike what the commie media would like to have us all believe, the vast majority of the people in this country are NOT Dems / commies.  The majority are centrist independents and/or Republicans.

See the DC lockdown thread for a good look at the justified paranoia the Dems are now experiencing.

You aren't paranoid like that when you know you've won something fair and square and have nothing to hide.

The Dems have done nothing of the sort, hence their fear, loathing, and paranoia.

The K-12 educational system

See! this ^man^ gets it. I don't understand it when we talk of hating the left then patronize them thru music and television. I have disdain for the entertainment industry, it's pretty damn safe to assume they are all leftist. I have no interest in their message whether it be spoken or sung. I believe the left is possessed by satan. They hate us for what we think, say, do and believe. The Bible said it would be like this, persecution.


ETA; Garth Brooks Will Perform at Joe Biden's Inauguration

"This is a great day in our household. This is not a political statement. This is a statement of unity," Brooks announced
Brooks is no stranger to inauguration invites. He performed at Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009. Four years ago, he declined an invitation to President Donald Trump's big day because of a conflicting tour stop in Cincinnati.

Truth

Trump was a glitch in the Matrix the Left has built, and they sent out all the Sentinels against him.

Where we are today was DELAYED by Trump's win.

Covid, media, mail in voting, etc. etc. Everything that the Left has done and used in the last 4 years has been done to ENSURE they are never surprised again by independent thinkers.
