“Don’t play into their hands, they want us to do something.
That will give them the excuse to do what they are waiting to do–clamp down on us with a totalitarian fist.” (said nobody in particular)

That’s the line given to dissuade us from taking any sort of action besides voting and lobbying.

I would ask a question: If we don’t do anything, does that mean they will leave us alone? No.
Does that mean they won’t enact their totalitarian dictatorship on us? No.

What does it mean? That we will do nothing until they have a what they believe is an unshakable grasp around our throats, and then they will pull the trigger themselves.

We can always hope and work to turn around things at the state levels, and then hope that, in turn, straightens things out at the federal level.

But, in the meanwhile, why should we continue to do nothing?

Our Presidency and our Constitution have been overthrown by a communist coup, and it is time to take back our country.

The people squalling the loudest about violence are those who have overthrown our government, and installed the first US dictator. Of course they are against such a concept. They don’t want to lose their newly acquired position.
Meanwhile, they are fastening chains on us which they intend to maintain forever.

Somebody forgot to review the Declaration of Independence, and a lot of our history.

Here is a picture of our future under a communist dictatorship:

“If the intellectuals in the plays of Chekhov, who spent all their time guessing what would happen in twenty, thirty, or forty years, had been told that in forty years interrogation by torture would be practiced in Russia; that prisoners would have their skulls squeezed with iron rings; that a human being would be lowered into an acid bath; that they would be trussed up naked to be bitten by ants and bedbugs; that a ramrod heated over a primus stove would be thrust up their anal canal (the ‘secret brand’); that a man’s genitals would be slowly crushed beneath the toe of a jackboot; and that, in the luckiest possible circumstances, prisoners would be tortured by being kept from sleeping for a week, by thirst, and by being beaten to a bloody pulp, not one of Chekhov’s plays would have gotten to its end because all the heroes would have gone off to insane asylums.”

And, we are supposed to allow this to come on us, and it is virtuous for us to not do everything in our power to stop it?
