This is where I'm at, but I think we may be underestimating the courage of one person to just go out there. They'd be sacrificed quickly, I'm sure, but that may be the spark ... or it may just demoralize.

Still, courage can be contagious. I'd love to practice what I preach. I won't lie though, I don't know if I have it in me. And the point about people having it so good here therefore why do anything is valid and something I've said for a long time.

At some point though, people have to weigh having it 'good' now versus how bad it will be for their descendants. This is all such a mess that we have allowed.

Points for truthful introspection, for sure

That's a tough mental hurdle - if nobody follows you, you are either personally ruined, jailed, or dead, and labeled an alt-right, neo-nazi terrorist.

I'm curious if there are any supporting stats or studies on how many 'backing people' it would take for one person to take action - like if you knew 5 would follow your lead, would take action? 50? 500?

I'd guess its in the tens to hundreds

What if I wear a rainbow Blm shirt, with a donkey logo on the back. Still doing it for the republic.
