    That kind of thinking is counter productive.

    You have a good deal of 'sheep' in the middle who are either lazy, un-informed, or non-participants.

    Even on the 'Trump' side there are a bunch of morons that I and many like me would only loosely work with, if we REALLY had to. Like all the shit stains that 'stormed the Capital' - uninformed idiots who fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.

    And just because you voted for Trump doesn't make you a 'patriot' any more than serving in combat makes you a 'hero'.
    I would put it as - voting for Trump doesn't make you a patriot any more than serving in the military does. I did both and feel I can make that statement.

    BUT the traitors ruling the democratic party and their allies in the media, big tech, and other countries are in the process of destroying the constitution that defines the greatest nation in the world.

    Those traitors have made no attempt to hide it, they wish to destroy the United States we grew up in, the country I served, raised children in, and never found lacking compared to all those I lived in and visited. They are traitors, period

    The thing is, if we do nothing (and I am not talking about violence in any form) then we are on the traitor's side. Patriotism requires action and almost certainly some sacrifice.

    I, and I am sure some of you, need to be more politically active. I can certainly sacrifice some time and money for my sons' and grand daughter's futures. I can reduce the money I am providing to the traiterous media, entertainment, and big tech allies of the marxist party and invest it in my nation, not the nightmare they envision.

    Once again, action does not mean violence but inaction will spawn violence.

    We jumped the track and got sold a bill of goods, so we shut business down. Here we are.
    Not every business is good for America.

    Well, considering what the unemployment rate did, what lifting onerous regulations and tax laws did during the last four years, we had our boot on the neck of the Chinese.
    My 401k appreciated it too, right up until this election fiasco, then I cashed out, paid cash for the House and the Truck.
    Small foot prints, and quiet steps.

    There are more than a few American businesses who seem more inspired by Chinese communist ideology than any thoughts and feelings that inspired Americans to fight in the 18th century.

    In 2016 I voted FOR Trump, and it was so nice to actually vote FOR a person again. In 2020 I voted against Biden. Trump had four years, did some court appointments that I hope keep things normal for awhile and a few other things that satisfied my minimum expectations, but he dropped the ball more than a few times and generally failed to live up to what he could have been.

    Just remember, it's not "not MY president", it's "not THE president", dead serious.

    Ayn Rand said words are a lense to focus the mind.

    Impostor, occupier, the authority they claim is not legitimate.

    What was it Leonidas supposedly said? "Give them nothing, but take from them everything."

    I'm not a patriot. I reside here merely out of ease and convenience. I have two nice residential properties outside the US as well. I can be at 'home' at either of them.
