USA tipping point

[yoni]

We have multiple threads, impeachment, VA gun control, Bernie's wet dream of throwing us in gulags, among a host of other things.

I see the trend of the marixt democratic party, they will keep pushing until they achieve all of the above and more.

Then I flash back to history, the rise of Lenin, Hitler and Mao, among others. With hindsight being 20/20 we can all see the tipping point where past that they became too powerful to eliminate.

So I would like to try and tie the various threads together in a civil discussion of where are we, how do we remain free and loyal to the Constitution.

Our time being free men is limed because we refuse to spit on our hands and begin to slit throats.

A decade at most, 10 months at least.

Whoa bro. Actually, gulags were a lot better than what the CIA has told us that they were. Like, people were actually paid a living wage in gulags, they had conjugal visits in gulags. Gulags were actually meant for, like, reeducation.

Basically.

Move too soon, you are an anti government terrorist.

Good rule of thumb, if you find yourself burying your guns, you will be needing them sooner rather than later.

In the meantime, keep voting, keep calling, keep trying. If the day comes that you have to start shooting government enforcers, well you did everything you could to prevent that day from coming.

I also don't see an overnight change to dictatorship such as what happened in Germany. One party will have to consolidate power and eliminate two party elections. Then a gradual stacking of the deck in all three branches of government until they can legislate by decree.

As crappy as the Republicans are and as much as they routinely cross the aisle to sell us out, competition for control has kept us from having a Czar appointed.

I think you're being too optimistic. Things could begin to go sideways as early as next week.


But yeah, the current direction the country is headed seems to indicate that we're rapidly approaching a tipping point, or rather, a breaking point. As a pair of someones once said, "house dividied against itself can not stand." This country is profoundly divided against itself right now, and all indications are it'll only get worse.

I find it horrible sad we are even discussing this as American citizens of the USA. Sad, sad, shame.

As I said in another thread, our country is in a sad state when Bernie Sanders, a naked communist who hates our country, is a viable candidate where 45%+/- of the citizens would vote for him if he gets the nomination.

Before we say "all is lost" we should remember we had more actual socialism under FDR. We practiced eugenics before Germany ever heard the word, we had a legal means to forcibly sterilize undesirables if we could declare them to be indigent and we did some really horrible shit. Prior to FDR we used the US military to attack WWI veterans and their families who were engaged in a lawful, peaceful protest and we made the sale of alcohol illegals.

Things aren't good, but we are a long way off from how bad they actually were in the 1930s. I don't think any of you guys would have survived the 1930s. Things may or may not be as bad as they were in 1969, things were really bad in 1969.

But all was not lost in the 1930s, it gave way to the 1950s. All was not lost in 1969, it gave way to the 1980s. There is a definite good and bad tradeoff.

The gulag crack laid bare what most of us have always known: the smiling Marxists are not charming, at all - they are extremely dangerous.

Things seem to be coming to a head. Not what I want but whatever will be, shall be. I’ve made my peace with God and trusted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, many moons ago.
