I'm not advocating against memes. I'm advocating against a childish character, and indifference to Godly morals. Memes can condense profound truths very simply and quickly. Some of them are really great. But if this is serious times, it's time to be serious about the noble cause you potentially give your life to. Frankly, I believe if we were, collectively, as gentlemanly as our Founding Fathers, we'd have won over enough democrats to not even be in this situation. I'm not calling anyone out here, but think of how history looks upon the past. Honor is given to the honorable. So, do not be cynical. Don't be ones who say "the victorious are the authors of history." Such is a faithless statement, because a man receives nothing unless it comes from Heaven.

Essentially decent, gentlemen, noble?
No, that is not the whole of it nor even half.
They debated, drafted, argued, wrote then signed a constitution.
But regardless the morals, standards or ethics of their time, the critical factor was that they had just experienced a physical war for independence. Many people, including persons close to them, had given their lives to even give them the chance to draft a constitution for an new nation and free population.
While they knew the fight had been just, those founders had lived it. They understood what brought it, and in an effort unprecedented since the Magna Carta, sort to lay the foundation for a system of government that would preclude such a situation requiring such a war in the future. A new nation with government of the people, by the people, for the people. A nation where there was no taxation without representation. A nation where those appointed to govern could only do so via the consent of those they governed.
Firing a musket round through a fellow human being is hardly noble, gentlemenly or honourable. The founders knew this horror. They tried, to the best of their ability, to prevent it ever happening again.
Their tree of Liberty had to be watered with the blood of patriots. But they sought to establish a nation where the tree could be watered by the citizen's votes in fair and free elections.
The installation of Biden by electoral fraud ends the Constitutional Republic of the Founders. If Americans now squander what was won by the blood of Patriots, they cannot win it back at the ballot box. Fradulent votes cannot water the Tree of Liberty
I don't think the future is with the democrat ideology, however it doesn't mean we are guaranteed anything either. And physical power means nothing. How is that? Because God can accomplish his will despite ourselves. Maybe God's will is to even put biden in place for a time so he utterly fails and we abolish their ideology forever through a bloody revolution. I know what you're saying about this being the end of the Republic if biden were to win, but there are absolutes and there are absolutes. Consider me the voice of reason when I say you're in a tunnel when you believe you cannot be wrong about what our politics must yield. We simply fight for our convictions, but if you're smarming around with childish joking all the time it doesn't lend any confidence towards a necessary condition where we are firing upon countrymen. I don't want to give God the reason to determine both our tribes are trash and end-run around the both of us. This is why I'm so often harping on here about being better versions of ourselves. It's out of fear of God. The Founders were most certainly gentlemen with noble characters (and I doubt you disagree), so I'm not even sure what your point is, except you resent the idea that someone is saying decency actually matters and we should act like it. I'm not saying you can't be indecent or whatever you read me as limiting, I'm only offering what I consider the advice that increases our odds, and nothing you wrote contradicts me.
