What’s the likelihood that we see civil unrest soon?

I think the chances are slim at this point but it hasn’t gotten real yet either. It’s just that over and over again you tell yourself this guy cant go any farther than he already has and time and time again he proves that theory wrong. At this point I think it’s higher than just 1% but under a percentage that could be a real threat. However, I’m almost certain most conservatives will not be willing to be dictated. And it seems that process has already begun.

This country is full of selfish wusses. They will do just about anything to keep their cushy lifestyle. That’s why I put the percentage so low. The people in charge will continue to make small changes in the wrong direction so that the public doesn’t notice until it’s too late.

Touché. But what about those who are noticing now? I like my life but I’d trade it in a heartbeat so my kids can enjoy the same freedoms I did.

Anyone willing to try something would be quickly met by law enforcement or military Sho’s only allegiance is to their superior and not their own morality.

No bull. Feel free to look up the definitions and one of the myriad visual examples of equal vs equitable that can be found anywhere online and in philosophy textbooks.

I’m well aware of the difference.

We used to strive for Equality in this country. Alas, that is no longer enough for a portion of our electorate.

Now, we must strive for Equity in everything we do.

We have abandoned the concept of equality of Opportunity, and adopted equality of Outcome.

Are you convinced that in a situation like that law enforcement and military would be so quick to turn their guns on civilians? I’m not sure about that. Joe just let 13 of them die and countless other Americans left behind for the Taliban to do what they wish. Those guys signed up to protect the constitution AND this country. You can bet that every one of them are making mental notes and if it came to that extreme I would bet most would NOT follow those orders because at that point, law is no more. It’s every man for himself.

I think the ones who would be likely to disobey would just quit and the rest for sure would.

So now you got a military divided. Law enforcement divided. Just quit? How? Chits already going down. You would end up with 3% of the civilians standing to kick things off. At that point military and law enforcement joins the militia that’s already full of armed vets.


🤔. This sounds like the hunger games.

1. I hope it doesn’t get so bad that it comes to this. 2. I hope I’m wrong in my assumptions about who’d be willing to do what it takes.

I would guess there are too few who share that same opinion to make a difference.

I think that we have a lot of trash talkers in this country also. But at the same time, you don't need a lot to throw this thing off the rails. Just 10% sitting home and not getting the jab in an already short labor market would shutdown and/or overload a bunch of critical areas.

You fools honestly believe that liberals are to blame for everything you see wrong with the world don’t you? The lack of self-recognition about how indoctrinated you have become, especially with the scapegoating, is astonishing.

I can only speak for myself and I don’t like anything about the liberal agenda. I’m able to think for myself…. Their tax plans suck…. Their welfare ideology sucks…their open borders agenda sucks….their insistence on the race card sucks….F them

If anyone didn't see this coming down the pike, they are delusional. This is for all the marbles and they are playing to win. Meanwhile, we are waiting on the courts and politicians to bail us out... the same MFers that got us here in the first place.

I've been trying to tell these "Back the Blue" folks that the main barrier between you and freedom will be the police. They will gladly knock down your doors, shove a needle in your arm and take your guns if given the order to do so.

I don’t think we’re waiting on anything. The election was stolen and that’s what got us here.

Here's the deal, when does that change? For some years I've supported peaceful succession in this country. I'd love for all these people that want people fired for making their own medical choices and alternative political views that are an antithesis of the principles that have made America, to have a country separate from the one I'm in. If there's no peaceful way to coexist, the alternative will not be fun.

I think you have enough people on the left that would love a secession movement. If you are able to get politicians out of the way, you might be able to get that going.

We have irreconcilable differences between rural, working class conservatives and urban public sector collectivists.

Support and uphold the Constitution and they'll be fine. Taking up arms against your neighbor, fringe groups or the government isn't going protect your children or their rights. If you feel the Constitution is not working there's a fix for that. It's in the Constitution.
