Yes, they are... But Trump knew this from day one. The rumors that he's in Texas are likely very true. Immediately after the speech in DC, that plane (It's like AF1 but it's more of a command center) made one trip from DC all the way to the base in Texas. If they had him and were coercing him, he would pretty much be calling Biden God. He's not evening mentioning the loser's name. Stay positive.

Those are not the friends you need. You don't need friends giving you pie in the sky bullshit. Those are the same friends that tell junkie drug addicts "everything is fine, its okay to be like this!"

You need friends looking you in the face, telling you to man the fuck up and accept the reality of this situation, and to start doing something locally. Start organizing, start finding like-minded people to have weekly gatherings and discuss how to reverse this insane shit.

People should organize if they can. They should also remain hopeful, especially when they're not certain about what's going on. It's hopelessness, not optimism, that lulls people into complacency.

Be hopeful for the future that you can change.

Don't waste hope on the past that is already written.

Be aware the left is doing everything possible to keep us from organizing.

Hope and lack of despair come before action.

Half this board writes as if they want to give up, and that is exactly what the enemy wants.

The enemy knows as long as we never surrender, they never win the war

Yes, exactly what you said. Apply to family members as well.

What's that saying? Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

I'm not sure anyone will do anything about the worst at this point, but clinging on to hope isn't bad, getting complacent and rolling over is.

Wholehearted agree on the organizing.

I was thinking this too but to play devil's advocate. Is it not in the realm of possibility they got to him right away, put him at gun point, and then held him at gunpoint on the flight to Texas?

Anything is possible, of course. But without even the flimsiest evidence, there is no reason to believe a "kidnap the president" theory.

Besides, if the left had actually killed or kidnapped DJT, does anyone here really believe they could keep quiet about it? They'd be gloating in every media organ in the country. "Rejoice!" the headlines would read, "Fascist Dictator Drumph In Prison At Last!"

Great Voice is the name of a military broadcast system. Just saying.

There's not even a command center in Abilene, so I don't buy it
