We should try to adopt the posture and strategy of the civil rights movements of the past.
The parallels of MLK is there. Except where he fought for civil rights he didn’t have... we are fighting for civil rights they are taking away.
We should consider not just rallies, but mass organized sit ins. Marches that are Buddha like in their silent peaceful resolve.
What would have been the reaction to have 100,000s of people sitting silently closely surrounding the Capitol for hours or days compared to the dozens of violent people we saw?
Just a thought that i think we should consider and let grow.
It's a great thought... but how to keep out those violent leftist bullies dressed like us.
Let them be arrested. Don’t take the bait and participate with them.
A lot of antifa have been implicated and identified at the capitol.... but unfortunately so have lots of patriots.
If it was 100% antifa.... it would be hard for them to lie about it.
This sort of effort takes discipline.
Yes, discipline is paramount. In my small rural community it only took a couple of hotheaded Trump supporters to give us all a bad name when a small group of hippy BLM (not the rioting type) came into town and did their little pots and pans-banging march. The two men couldn't contain their emotions and started ripping signs from the marcher's hands and generally trying to intimidate them with aggressive in your face behavior. They were arrested and charged with assault and it was all over the newspaper and our social media about the violent Trump supporters. Ruined it for the few hundred who showed up to peacefully stand with flags and banners along the sidewalks. Another bad thing is the police were all on our side at the beginning of the march, which happened without a permit, and the police were in the process of escorting the protestors off the streets and out of town. But when the two Trump supporters lost it, then the police had to arrest them and it all went south. It was like the Jan 6 event on a much smaller scale. So frustrating.
If Gandhi got rid of the British, we should be able to rid the Dems.
I like it. You attract more flies with honey and you gain more support when you're nonviolent.
I agree
