We have passed the part where we should feel our spidey sense tingling, passed the part where we should feel the dull ache of anxiety that impending doom causes in our stomach, and have arrived at the part where our bodies should be in full on fight or flight survival mode. Yet, no one in a position of power or importance is doing anything except talking about 2022 or 2024 or writing strongly worded letters. This is the part of the story where the protagonist should realize that no one is coming to save them. It’s tough for me to accept, since I really believed there were still a few good people left in high places who would never let this country fall apart, but I guess it’s time for the black pill.

We need a spark. Without that, nothing will be done. Someone needs to kick things off.

That would have been January 6th. It was our “Boston massacre” moment. The government even used the same terms for patriots as those involved back then, insurrectionists. Instead of being galvanized by what happened there, we came on here and “condemned the violence” and spat on those that actually tried to make a difference. Look at how hard they are cracking down on that protest, they are deathly afraid and want to stomp us under their boot as quickly as possible as a warning to others. It’s working. We lose.
