To anyone who thinks it's over

Never give up. I'm old. Do you know how easy it would be for me to sit back and say I quit. Chances are I won't live long enough for it to get really bad. Reality is it's not about me. I'm a patriot. I was raised to salute the flag, that pledge of allegiance I made actually means something and that the united States of America is the greatest country on the planet. To sit back and let it fall goes against everything I believe in. My sweet little granddaughter at 10 years old is truly the most innocent loving person I have known in my lifetime. She is so inherently good she doesn't see evil in anyone or anything. She can and will find good in every situation. I cannot/will not let them destroy her and the other innocents like her. I will do whatever is necessary to take my country back! Stand up! Make the commitment! If our fore father's had given up we wouldn't have a country. NEVER back down. You are a patriot!

 Same situation here. I even had a few conservative leaning engineer friends in college who switched sides after graduation. Some no longer speak to me because orange man bad. We were one of the majors where our professors didn't have time to talk about politics. We weren't being indoctrinated directly in class (although this was a lefty school).

 I'm not sure that engineering specifically trains people to think critically per se, but it definitely encourages people to think creatively. When your goal is to have an open mind and solve the problem most efficiently, you don't automatically go with the status quo. In today's society, the status quo is rampant leftism. These leftist beliefs are not based in logic or reason at all. It makes no sense to me that engineers of all people would adopt this viewpoint.

 I worry about the future of this country for many reasons, but what is going on in our professions? Woke concepts will destroy them all. We'll have a generation of engineers who are incapable of understanding advanced concepts let alone doing math (2+2=5). What will our nation be capable of producing then?
