Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government’s purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
— Justice Louis D. Brandeis

Of course President Trump will, when re-elected, continue to work upon altering the character of this nation. It’s called #MAGA and it’s the restoring, rebuilding, renewing, and reaffirmation of the values and culture that led America to be the greatest nation on Earth and a shining city upon a hill that serves as a beacon of hope to the world.
Of course Democrats can’t “let that happen.” It’s a massive course correction and each step our nation takes along it is a step away from what the Democrats want to replace America with.
America’s Far Left Future If Good Men Look On And Do Nothing
In 1867 John Stuart Mill said, “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.“ And Reverend Charles F. Aked, Edmund Burke, and other worthies have, over the course of centuries, voiced similar truths. So, why aren’t we listening and acting upon these words?
We, the true-born and rightly-raised People of the great land of the United States of America hold both the lions’ share of its true wealth and the vast majority of its arms – the former being why the Left and their minorities are at war with us; the latter why said war hasn’t quite “gone hot” yet. There is neither reason nor plausible excuse for our toleration of our domestic enemies’ actions, agenda, or very existence.
A very conservative estimate places the number of America’s militia who are already under arms and capable of immediate operations at somewhat above 50 million souls. 50+ million! The Left could field perhaps 1/5th that number. Indeed, 50 million militiamen is a host so vast and so pervasive as to even render the force capable by the armed services moot despite their overwhelming technological and organizational advantages.
Even a bare 3% of of our numbers would be enough to do the job, defend our nation, culture, and People, which is good because 3% active, combative involvement seems to be the historic norm and has held true across millennia and cultural differences – e.g., Muhammad couldn’t do any better than 3% either 🙄 But the important point is that even that 3% would be sufficient, even in worst-case scenarios.
So, why DO we look on and do nothing? Are we – and I’m honest enough to include myself in this – not Good Men? Do we not love, honor, respect, and cherish the nation and culture our ancestors carved out of the wilderness for us and our progeny?
… And peaceful protests don’t cause $1.5 billion USD so far in insured damages alone. Nor do they cause upwards of 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
And it’s all being done by Democrats and likely Democrats, not by Trump Supporters, not by Republicans, not by Americans.
To put a kind and merciful label to it, it is Democratic-Terrorism. To put an accurate name to it, it is Insurrection and Rebellion. Of course, these labels each call for a separate and different sort and level of response.
Wokeness – It’s not just a fad; it’s not just some suppuration from the boil that is Millennial culture; it’s not even just a sociopolitical ideology. It’s a theology. It meets all the criteria and has all the material and cultural trapping of one.
