How is what is happening in every state in the union, the riots, the canceling of American history, the death and destruction any less a threat than if China entered our borders and did the same thing?

Would all of America sit and watch it on TV and be too preoccupied with life to even consider stopping it?

It is scary to realize America, as a whole, doesn't care.

Nobody is hungry. Nobody is without power or internet. Imagine how the lockdowns would have played out if the power plants had shut down because of COVID.

So you are unfortunately correct that nobody cares.
 
I like to think that if there were a defined enemy (China in your example) there would be a response.
Who wants to be the first to fire the next "shot heard around the world"?
Especially when there's a 99.9% chance you'd be taken out or taken down and made an example of.
If you knew that you were the one to start the revolution that saved America, you'd do it.
But, if it's a 99.999% chance that you'll be labeled a crazy radical Wacko, lose everything you've worked for, your freedom, ruin you family name for generations and whatever else comes with it.... I'm gonna be very hesitant to go first.
I (and many of my employed friends) just don't have the time, energy or knowledge to try to make moves politically so, I do my part by yelling at the TV and forwarding memes.

Turn off the internet, then the entire country is on fire.

Actually, turn off the internet and the news media, and the entire country is quiet.

It’s only the internet and media that are making it seem that everything Is on fire.

The population of the Triangle is around two million. Out of that there are a few hundred rioters / aggressive protesters. There are more peaceful protesters, but they are not causing the fires.
 
If it wasn't for what I get here and on another NC forum I probably wouldn't have a clue what is going on and that's not a bad thing. Sometimes I actually get more than I want from the forums. I guess I'm just retarded that way.

I think what we have now is basically a small insurgency. It does not have the support of the majority. It’s wildly conflicted in what it wants. It has a mirror non insurgent element, honestly concerned with it’s issues, that it’s using for cover.

It also is not feared by the majority. Without support or fear most are willing to watch it flame under its own weight and over bearing. The middle class still has too much to loose.

If you ever expect the middle class to throw away what they have, throw caution to the wind for themselves and their families, you will always be disappointed. If for some reason the middle class collapses, better hold on tight.

Agreed. Until a few wives and kids get assaulted in a riot. Or the riot comes to neighborhood. Then all bets are off. Luckily the wackos have been smart enough to stay out of the burbs and rural areas so far. Cause once they go there either some good ole boys or suburban tactical gurus are going to light them up.

So instead, they buy guns and ammo at a record pace, retreat to safer areas of possible, prepare to defend themselves and wait.
 
How long till we see arms being smuggled into the country to support the revolution? I'm worried about what is going to happen in November, if Trump is re-elected will there be serious violence?

There will be serious violence no matter who is elected.

I think this is a very safe bet.
Unfortunately, there are a bunch of people that look for reasons to be turds.

Exactly what the patriots at Concord faced..Exactly!
, lose everything you've worked for, your freedom, ruin you family name for generations and whatever else comes with it...
Again..in other words exactly what the Framers wrote in The Declaration.."our lives, freedom and personal fortunes."

This is what it will take when the dance starts....most of us are just not willing to be the head of the spear. Those that do will again be remembered in history as the ones that saved the Republic...Hell, they might even build a statue of you;)

Well... yeah...

What is scarier to me is if they not only do not care, but that they may very well accept (or even passively welcome) it.

Got this from a friend, seems to wrap up where we are:


Have we become a nation that has lost its collective mind!


• If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegal Mexicans voting in our elections are good.

• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.

• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.

• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

• Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.

• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for useless degrees.

• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate Central-American gang-banger who jumps the southern fence is welcome.

• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, and it seems like a great plan to us.

• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

• Criminals are catch-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

* And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists".
