Before (and during) this last election the vast majority of people (even conservatives) had an unrealistic level of trust in our institutions.

Removing the veil of that illusion is a precondition to winning the actual fight, and perhaps the greater part of the task.

If you let go of your expectation for some quick, easy and painless solution, you can discern that a “Kraken” HAS been released.

This battle isn’t going to be won in some ‘aHA!’ moment, and there’s no infallible ‘kindergarten teacher’ who’s going to swoop in with all the answers to set things right.

Pretending that there should be is a demoralization tactic to divide us against ourself and lure us into a defeatist mindset. It gets employed everytime our side makes gains, to try to turn our wins into perceived losses.

The Right has not even begun to fight. The 6th was a non-violent symbolic demonstration, and look how it has them in a frenzy. The left is filled to the brim with interagency incompetence, their wins have all been based on taking advantage of our goodwill and patience, and they can only sustain themselves when they can parasitically eat what the Right produces.

Which is why propaganda, brainwashing, and demoralizing us is such a high priority for them. So just don’t fall into it.
