USA tipping point

[SteyrAUG]

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.

I hope we never get there BUT no civilization has stayed on top (or stay the course)
when they fell it was quick and often not the way they thought

Bigger question is how did they come out on the other side (better worse) related to how they went in and what can we do about after

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.

I sincerely hope this won’t turn into another “So when is the boogaloo dance gonna start” thread. That would be just rehashing the “How civil wars start” that is now enormous.

My wife has been battling rapid Anti-Trumpers on facebook. It is frightening how hard they paint socialism in a good light and get people on board. 10 years ago they would be routed. Now theh are numerous.

Liberty and Socialism cannot coexist.

I've given up trying to predict what is gonna happen in the USA. My only psychic source has been my Magic 8 Ball, which has been sitting on a bookcase collecting dust, so I haven't utilized it's predictive wisdom for what may or may not happen in the future:

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.

So far not a single post addressed the question of how to remain free. For right now one of the best things we can do is support Trump. Share videos like this:
encourage people to read "Resistance at All Costs" by Kimberly Strassel. Encourage people to question their own thoughts and beliefs.

So far not a single post addressed the question of how to remain free.

As for me personally. I vote, I contact my legislators, I keep myself up to date on current events, and I openly talk with anyone who is willing to discuss current events and freedoms in general. Right now, what else can one do?

I will also continue to live and do the things I do now on the daily no matter what laws are passed in the future. I made a firm decision long ago that I’m going to live free, period.

It comes down to (for me personally) that I just really want to be left alone. I’ve seen others on here share that same sentiment as well. So if those in power really want to “tip” things here in the USA, start messing with the millions of Americans who just want to be left alone to live their lives.
