With all do respect, when the Titanic went down, you'd be a fool to try and save it. Some things are just destined to fail. But, when a tree falls, it helps other foliage spring up and flourish. One key take away from the Great US experiment is that your people cannot get complacent. This was a major fault in early Republicans and conservatives. Dems cheat, lie and steal and Republicans tried to be the good guy rather than exposing the evilness of the opposing party. Dems have pretty much taken over everything, like a cancer in a host's body. When someone else speaks out, that cancer will attack that cell. When the other cells see this, they do nothing because they think it will never happen to them.
You are 100% correct. My wife was this way until I started red pilling her. Now she stands up and will engage. The American Church is much to blame for this. Instead of standing up for what is true and right, they use certain scriptures to teach peace love and harmony. This is only a PART of Christianity. God is a jealous God and has never told us to back down from evil. Again, a lot of preachers don't want to "OFFEND" people. These are Luke warm Christians. It's sad and pathetic IMO.
When I was a kid, I heard "spare the rod, spoil the kid." I used to think that was a horrible saying, but there is so much truth to it. It's all about discipline. To be disciplined means you will become better at EVERYTHING you do. It's logical, yet our country dropped that way of thinking for laziness and taking the quick easy way. Now is just a matter of time before other countries realize the truth and drop us like a rock.
