If not now, then when?

[lazarus]

Personally, I believe November will be stolen. And "YES".......... then what???

Like it wasn't in 2020?

Why do you think children today are so radically militant leftists cult members who are activists…

Because when they grow up they will be good little voting sheep. Further driving our basic traditions into the grave. Yeah you and I disagree, but at the end of the day we want peace prosperity and unmolested freedom. These kids coming up have an eye set on destroying that.

Better counter it with some not so soft kids of our own…

I'm not sure which kids you're talking about when you say "children" as if it covers every individual in the next generation. The self-centered and/or screwed up ones that make TikTok videos? My kids certainly don't act that way, nor do their friends or kids in any of the activities they're in that I mentor for. Yeah, they have ranges of opinions just like any other large group, but the vast majority's beliefs fall somewhere between Center-Right and Center-Left, often with mixes of ideas from both sides. And a lot of them have well-developed BS detectors in their heads. Please don't confuse the actions of a few loudmouth psych cases as representative of an entire generation.

Prepare to be insulted, I accept the incoming hate.

If you want to truly change this nation, it’s going to take men standing up and being men. Behold a generation of children coming up who are going to squash your beloved America into the ground like the rotten apple we have become. You don’t have the numbers to change it. Your old and dying off. The traditional America moderate view is eroding away to the brainwashed radical leftist religion that is programmed in the minds of the youth every single day,
while you sit on a chair and complain to the internet. There’s massive effort and resources going to this every single day. That you are paying for.

Try having as many kids as you possibly can and raise them learning the truth. Pull them out of public school. While still attending the public school board meetings to publicly appose this nonsense, with your homeschooled kids. So they can see this crap first hand. Change your view towards money. Remember your love of making all the money you possibly can go live this vanity you call the good life, is making them all the money they possibly can via taxes. We are funding the things we hate.

Stop complaining to the news reality TV, and get your lazy obesity riddled soft body off the couch and speak out against this. Engage in peaceful discussions with the local representatives. Engaging peacefully with intellectual conversation with the people you disagree with. Even when they hate you for standing firmly on your convictions and reject publicly with what you strongly disagree with.

Your children will see their fathers standing firmly on their convictions and beliefs, not afraid of the consequences of being everything the modern world loves to hate. They will remember that when they become adults and carry on. They will come out head and shoulders above the rest and continue the things they have learned from their fathers. Remember without a firm foundation, your efforts will wash away. These things take generations to fix. They’ve been programming the kids since the 60s.

If your a grandparent, quit being so soft towards your grand kids. They aren’t getting enough correction. Chances are their parents are trying to be more the kids friends then parents and too busy updating their Facebook or what ever crap used today, then lining in their kids for being on the device too much and not in a book reading or outside being kids. My grandma wasn’t afraid to whack me when I was off.

Now excuse me, my oldest kids and I are heading into the city to change the world one soul at a time. Weather be damned

Very well articulated.
If more folks thought and acted like this, we wouldn’t have half the problems we have today.

A post follow up from Obama years. If you don’t believe our government and justice system is not tyrannical now your we are in serious trouble. To the ones that said “we’re not there”,what says you now?

Great Post.

Well the weather held off, we didn’t change the world, but one things for sure. The world around us has changed. Going down the toilet.

People are entirely too radically polarized. Both sides need to lighten up some

I’m talking all kids and adults. Including my children and me.

I’m talking basic root fundamentals of being citizens together of a nation. Kids need to learn Hard work, discipline, boldness and not afraid to stand up for what they believe is right, all while being compassionate towards those they disagree with, willing to take responsibility for your actions etc.

We can armchair fight a war but guess what, if you don’t have children to intellectually fight that war… you have nothing and will be utterly destroyed.

Guess who is loosing the war for the mind of children. You and I. Try getting involved with youth groups to help counter what the left is doing.

Counterpoint:

People that think our current political environment is tyranny don't know what actual tyranny is and should read things like the gulag archipelago. Relative to the past, women have more liberty, minorities have more liberty, gays have more liberty, 2a restrictions are being repealed(bruen), and even weed prohibitions are being repealed. There is unquestioned plenty and our standard of living is about as high as its ever been in all of human history.

There are certainly large problems with corruption and the centralization of power to an ever increasing federal government, but our foundations are still solid and this is the best place and time to live ever....ever.

So "go time"? If you'd like literally all of the above to come crashing down, sure. The more realistic and measured option is to continue engaging in our process to improve these united states.

Agree wholeheartedly.

I never understood the whole "Make America Great Again" message, because American never stopped being great. Anyone who has travelled overseas can see just how much better it is to be a citizen of the United States than of any other country in the world.

We're not perfect as a nation, but I view us as an ongoing experiment in representative democracy.

Or is your spouse only subordinate to your authority and has no say in your marriage and parenting?

That's been his major theme across several threads .

Thank you for being a voice of reason in this thread.

No, we have fifty of those going on, as intended. But as a nation, we're not an experiment in anything. We're a monument to the liberty and prosperity that comes with Constitutional Republicanism as chartered by our founders. They knew perfectly well that individuals, municipalities, counties, and states would sometimes be train wrecks, and put in some Republic-wide limits on how such brush fires/cancers (generally in the form of malignant simple democracy fueled by muddled thinking and poor information) could impact that wider nation. And they definitely made sure that the checks and balances at the national level weren't "experimental." They made it deliberately difficult to change that structure so that people would NOT see it as an experimental playground. They left that to the individual states, within reason.

But if that doesnt happen and they steal November bloodshed is going to become inevitable.

"They" won't steal the midterms.

They'll allow a slim, do-nothing Republican majority for one or two terms to continue to lend legitimacy to our elections but manipulate the results to prevent a blow-out.

We'll all enjoy 2-4 more years of gridlock, then they'll manipulate the results again for "Democrats" and we'll continue to slow, unnoticeable slide into Socialism and tyranny.
