Look at us.

Look at this board. Look at the comments.

As much sarcasm and "GFY" attitude we throw at the left/Biden for wanting to push a "unity" movement after everything that happened the past 4 years, we can't even unite amongst ourselves, here.

We have a lot of people hurting today. Some are dealing with that in quiet sadness. Some are lashing out at anyone they can point to. Q and the Anons, "Joe M", Lin Wood, Sidney Powell, X22, General Flynn, Scott McKay, on and on. There's a feeling of betrayal.. that, the story they thought they were going to see play out today didn't, and they're, as is common, blaming all of these other people for what happened. What about yourselves? People don't want to admit their own faults; it's a very hard thing to do.

You have people now making fun of others for "not taking action". I ask you: what action did you want? What action are YOU planning?

We all know and understand that violence and mutiny can not be discussed here nor virtually anywhere else. Is insurrection the worst crime of all? Or is it every patriot's duty? Is it both?

We are a nation of laws. That is something that freedom-loving Americans should all understand and be able to agree upon. You might think that we're at a point where leaders need to be 'removed' by any means necessary, but there are many other ways to fight. That's what Trump has always talked about any time he's rallies his base to fight. Not to kidnap and kill, but to use the democratic processes.

Which raises the next question: what do you do if you lose all trust in those processes?

I don't have the answers. I don't know if anyone here does, honestly.

For now, I just implore you, please, take a moment, look inward, and don't hate on your fellow patriot, here, for not doing whatever you think should have been done. We only come out on top of this all if we build our team, build our 'forces', build a unified group that outnumbers the enemy.

IF a military operation is still in-effect, then it will happen whether we do anything or not.

If we rely upon democratic means, then it will take time. It will require winning local and state elections. It will require being involved. It will require doing all of the things that people like to tell others to do while doing nothing themselves.

You don't have to agree with anything here; that's fine. I just would appreciate a little respect and a little compassion to be shared among the community here because we're all hurting--some more than others.

Don't shame those still full of hope. Don't be mad at them for believing in something that you might think is absurd. They're not your enemy. Remember there is a reason why people believed in the first place. Not just because they were being told something, but because they saw connections, saw information, saw truths with their own eyes. You can't take those experiences away.

I'm actually seeing a lot more hope and encouragement than I expected. More will occur.

Human nature is to lash out when something we're heavily emotionally invested in doesn't work out.

Things will look better tomorrow

Thanks.

And yeah, I've been rethinking so much and the more I review, the more I am reassured.

This is a time of darkness, for us. Darkness will turn to light.

We have been given everything we need. People cannot be told...they have to be SHOWN.

Be strong, pedes.

When the government goes astray of the society we want to have. Or when we're no longer in control of what we want to teach our children. Or when we rebuke American exceptionalism and embrace American apologetics. When were told to revile the constitution, embrace historical revisionism, and praise identity politics through big tech and statism. When we fabricate untruths about gender, race, and mock faith.

That's when the ballot box wont work anymore.

I agree that ballot box is meaningless at this time.

So what do you do?

Minecraft time?

I see a lot of people mad, yelling "you did nothing!" ..but what did they do? Did they show up in DC on 6th with guns? No, they didn't. What do those who are yelling about inaction expecting us to do?

Good question. How do you breech frustration into meaningful change when its death by a 1000 cuts steadily marching to the left.

How do you galvanize people when they're slowly boiling in the pot not realizing what's happening.

Until we're collectively ready to revolt for our beliefs, all that yelling hemming and hawing about inaction is about as effective as a match is in a raging fire.
