Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
The divisions among Virginians are not only over history, heroes and guns, they are also moral and religious.
Since 1969, “Virginia Is for Lovers” has been the tourism and travel slogan of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Advertising Age called it “one of the most iconic ad campaigns in the past 50 years.”
But the Virginia of 2020 seems to be another country than the friendly commonwealth to which this writer moved four decades ago.
Charlottesville, home to Thomas Jefferson’s University of Virginia, has become famous as the site of a 2017 Klan-Nazi clash with antifa over the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from a municipal park. During the clash, protester Heather Heyer was run over and killed.
There followed the inauguration of a new Democratic Governor, Ralph Northam, in 2018 and a new attorney general. Both, it was learned, had masqueraded in blackface in their college days. And two women accused their colleague, new Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, with rape.
Resignations were demanded. But all three hunkered down, and the crisis abated. Now a new cultural issue has emerged.
First-term Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, from the D.C. suburbs, has denounced Virginia’s representation in the U.S. Capitol by statues of George Washington in the Rotunda and Robert E. Lee in the crypt a floor below. Both statues have represented Virginia for more than a century.
Wexton wants Lee replaced by an African American hero from a list that she and Rep. A. Donald McEachin reportedly submitted.
Two names on their list are unfamiliar figures from the desegregation days of the 1950s. The third is better known: Nat Turner.

In “The Americans: A Social History of the United States,” published in 1969, author J. C. Furnas describes the deeds of the man Wexton and McEachin would be pleased to see replace Robert E. Lee:
“In August 1831, Nat Turner, paranoid slave preacher and cunjur man, led his superstition-fuddled followers to kill fifty-five whites of all sexes and ages in an aimless terrorizing of Southhampton County in the southeastern corner of Virginia.
“The poor twisted creature could hardly have found a worse time to sharpen Southern fears of a slave rising.” Turner was tried and hanged and, that winter, writes Furnas, “The Virginia legislature voted down by a narrow margin a bill for gradual extinction of slavery.”
Nat Turner’s terrorism had set back emancipation.
Let me go out on a limb: If the Virginia General Assembly votes to replace Robert E. Lee in the U.S. Capitol with a statue of Nat Turner, it will not be the unifying event Wexton imagines.
But the Assembly will be dealing soon with measures even more volatile.
On Jan. 20, “Lobby Day” at the Assembly, thousands of gun advocates, many openly armed, will be coming to Richmond to protest new gun laws Northam and his new Democratic majority campaigned on and are determined to deliver.
Already, 110 towns, cities and counties in Virginia have created “Second Amendment sanctuaries” where new state laws that restrict gun rights will not be enforced by local authorities.
As the Washington Post writes,
“Virginia is a former Confederate State with strong rural traditions and lax gun laws. Guns represent the strongest, reddest line against the demographic changes that have seen Old Dominion voters usher in a new era of Democratic leadership in recent elections.
“A Nevada-based group called the Oath Keepers said it is sending training teams to help form posses and militia in Virginia. The leader of a Georgia militia called Three Percent Security Force has posted videos and calls to arms on Facebook, urging ‘patriots’ to converge on Richmond.”
Still, the divisions among Virginians are not only over history, heroes and guns, they are also moral and religious.
A year ago, Northam said he supported abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, and beyond, if an abortion were unsuccessful.
Here is Northam, in his own words, on the rights of the unborn:
“(Third trimester abortions are) done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that’s nonviable. So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. … The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
Unlike the seven states of the Deep South, Virginia did not vote to secede and leave the Union until President Lincoln issued his call to arms to put down the rebellion after the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter.
Then the state of Virginia seceded from the Union as the colony of Virginia had seceded from Great Britain at Philadelphia 84 years before.
Today, it appears a new secession is underway. Virginians are separating from each other over issues as deep and divisive — such as who can take innocent life and when — as those that divided us in 1861.
As are the rest of their countrymen in this time of Trump.

Typical, democrats more than willing to kill children in the womb and deny constitution freedom to citizens. The end result will not be a good one.
Interesting thought experiment: The 2nd amendment was created so if tyranny came to America patriots could slay the tyrants. What would those founders suggest patriots do with Gov Coonman?
Back in the day, he simply would have “disappeared” one night, never to be heard from again. THAT is how the colonists dealt with freedom haters.
Governor, meet red line… Chip
Culture war? What culture war, this is simply a communist take over of a sovereign state, first VA then the USA…….VA allowed the invaders to infest the northern suburbs and did nothing. Now those new Virginians have elected police state tyrants to Richmond……Way beyond culture.
“The leader of a Georgia militia called Three Percent Security Force has posted videos and calls to arms on Facebook, urging ‘patriots’ to converge on Richmond.”
75% of the attendees will be FBI sponsored agent provocateurs displaying Confederate/Nazi symbols stirring the shit pot. Bet on it.
Which is why it’s such a stupid idea. The FBI has no qualms with being the actual trigger-men to foment shit, either. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others, I guess.
Well i feel if this thing really blows up with these shrills starting it they may indeed get the full blown deal they were not expecting and like a wildfire in a strong wind it takes hold in many states because people have had just about enough of this bullshit nickel and dime gun grab, ammo ban, bullshit laws to prosecute and bankrupt patriots that are turned into criminals at the stroke of a pen while female teachers rape their students and get no jail, Muslims rape gangs get let out, and murders using guns get shorter sentences so they can kill again and blame the guns owned by patriots sitting in their safes. The point of no return may soon be near because the line in the sand has been drawn when politicians tell you in campaign they want you disarmed and socialist. These people are committing treason in front os us and yet we are supposed to play by the so called laws with a fraud fbi, cia coup taking place as we speak. I call bullshit. People may have reached their point of saying fuck it now or never while my knees still work. Because they know the next millennial generation are a bunch of pansey soy boys that don’t know if they are a fucking oak tree or a girl from one day to the next. So this just may be what everyone fears how it kicks off. Because waiting has only encouraged them via complicity. There are no other backup generations to hold the line. This is now and this may be how this republic dies, in a whimper and a cheer by the victims that do not know any better. Like sheep inviting the wolves to dinner asking them what they will bring to eat and they all laugh…..
The buffalo’s are feeling good running with the herd until they start launching over the cliff……I wouldn’t go armed to the events on the 20th…..a little Gandhi-like martyrdom goes a long way…… this is where the Proud Boys went wrong as emotionally satisfying as it is to beat the shit out of the ANTIFA, that simply allowed the corrupt leftist DA’s and AGW’s to aggressively prosecute them.
The harder but more successful approach is the Nicholas Sandman stoicism in the face of leftist aggression. Kinetic is always the last option…..take lots of pictures to document the ANTIFA aggression.
The pictures from the Selma march were extremely powerful…..
Now with a communist insurgency it is doubtful that passive resistance will be sufficient but shaping the battlefield to come (moral high ground) is helpful……not to convince conservatives but the soft squishy middle……we will need to swim in the sea of the squishy middle….so we need their tacit support even if most sit on the sidelines……
I MISS AMERICA……299 Days, Grey Man.
Aesop over at Raconteur Report has some thoughts on the issue and the idea of “marching on Richmond”. Being former MI, I agree with him whole-heartedly. If anybody on here is thinking of joining that likely shit-show read some of his posts on the issue.
http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2020/01/common-sense-resistance.html
Note: I normally would not cross post links to other blogs here, in respect to Admin, but I think it’s important people get alternative perspectives around this upcoming “protest”.
If people really wanted to make a positive difference, they wouldn’t be weekend warrior showboating. They’d save up money to live on for a year and quit working. En masse. Collapse this mother fucker peacefully, legally, and most importantly, effectively.
Won’t happen. I love his shout out to the Committees of Correspondence though. It’s what I’ve been futilely pushing for.
The committees promoted patriotism and home manufacturing, advising Americans to avoid luxuries, and lead a more simple life.

How many people smartphone, netflix, cable TV, buy the latest gadgets and flail away on social media? So long as that continues the beast will get fatter and fatter. Most people don’t want to give up their little ‘conveniences’ and pleasures and most people who complain about the state of affairs do so while playing in their phones, on the couch, watching netflix, blissfully unaware of how they feed the beast.
Agreed, sadly. Things will change only when we’re sitting at the base of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
AOC, Most people are too much of a debt-slave to do that. Ignorance, laziness, envy, commercialism, greed and apathy all play to the Govt having the power. Until we can change that narrative or a major ‘event’ does it; I don’t see the masses doing much of anything ‘inconvenient’.
Agreed. It’s all about Maslow.
Victory over tyranny doesn’t require the mass of the masses. The number of people who showed up at local govs for 2A sanctuary in Va is WAY more than enough to bring down the tyrants but the problem is they are making THE WRONG MOVES. If those people upheld the law instead of asking their criminal overlords to put something meaningless on letterhead paper then they would realize they have plenty of people to get the job done.
The problem is not lack of quantity it is lack of quality. The people don’t want admit it and definitely don’t want to hear it from another but they are STUPID PEOPLE. REALLY REALLY STUPID PEOPLE. It is not their lack of ability but their lack of exercising their ability. The stupid people don’t realize that THE ONLY WAY TO END THE TYRANNY IS TO MASTER AND UPHOLD THE LAW. There is NO OTHER WAY. It is not my opinion, it is absolute fact of nature -LAWS GOVERN NATURE. THOSE WHO MASTER LAW OBTAIN DOMINION OVER NATURE. his is EXACTLY why the equality intrinsic in common law is losing – because the stupid people are LAWLESS. They ignore law and GIVE UP EQUALITY.
The stupid will get EMOTIONAL over this FACT and backlash to me but it is not about me, IT IS THE TRUTH. YOU ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH PEOPLE but all of those people must make every move superior in strategy to the tyrants but upon observation you guys are so far behind in strategy and effective quality of moves that the tyrants do not even need to acknowledge your existence.
There are thousands of excellent moves to be made but American’s make every move within CONSENTING TO SLAVERY.
To the intelligent law abiding aware mind most American’s are almost up to trailer park daycare level. The choices really are that bad. It’s really sad considering that ALL the information for winning strategic moves is already available in law books but the dummies won’t read them.
I read Aesop and Matt Bracken every day. Matt posts regularly at American Partisan. This meet up with politicians is something the 2nd supporters have done for about 20 years. Aesop and Matt have identified potential problems this year and I applaud them for doing so. However, whether to attend said rally is an individual decision and I would never fault someone for attending. Virginia was intimately involved in the two big wars fought in the present USofA. Is it possible that CW2 will begin there? I sure hope not!
They are on a power trip and do not realize while fetuses have no voice and cannot fight back, patriots adhering to the constitution is a whole ass whooping can of hurt. They are so damned dumb and like iran need to be taught a severe lesson because cordiality is not common to them in their power trips. They only know win or lose. Force or weakness unfortunately. This will be spun against the patriots. Its a losing situation with the media.
“And like Iran need to be taught a severe lesson” as you condemn the power trip. Ever wonder why it’s hard to take you seriously.
Fact is Iran is the one handing out lessons while American males provide little all round security for their female partners to be assured in. You compared Iran ol chap, have you ever asked yourself why Iran doesn’t support abortion and doesn’t talk of necking kids straight out of the womb.
Madeleine Albright tried to teach 500,000 kids a lesson now the Iraqis want your ass out finally.
Honestly the only thing you could teach is how to be a dork with a dollarshop brain that could do with a refund.
The writer is a Commie. Heather Heyer died of a heart attack, she was not touched by the car. Abortion? Did Trump argue Roe v. Wade? Virginians are going to be handing in their guns July 2020, muzzlew first.
What tis more interesting in 2017 was the state police helicopter filming whole situation and going down with both pilots dying,not much talked about that,hmmmmm……
What made these people vote for these Democrats? the offer of free shit?
There are those who say ‘don’t vote’ because it is pointless, both sides the same, yada yada. For all those who don’t vote, sit it out, whatever the opposition gains in power.. If enough conservatives don’t vote then that makes the dem votes the majority. Also, the voter fraud is strong. The dems push for illegal votes is winning, ditto felons vote and even a push for sixteen yr. olds to vote.
Let us also consider voting machines and voter fraud, dems who vote often, dead democrats who vote often and the mysterious ballot boxes found in trunks.

Voting guarantees we will lose the Republic. That’s the paradox. Every election since Ross Perot napalmed the entire debate system has gradually led to the loss of our liberties. The more people prop this charade up, the greater the probability we lose the remaining Boomers who are there to guide us.
Please let that sink in for a minute.
Donald Trump got elected how? Magic? Voting doesn’t guarantee zip about the republic, that’s up to us to reclaim it and generally that comes from rebellion. Voting only helps to keep democrats at bay for awhile….they’re always there….waiting….
Voting doens’t keep democrats at bay. Voting doesn’t keep republicans at bay. Contrary to the US Ministry Of Truth there is not two political parties, there is only one. As AOC correctly states, it’s a charade.
Vote Harder: Why don’t you go back to your disinfo masters?
Soros is paying well to turn districts democrat, wonder why? If voting didn’t work, then why do Soros and Bloomberg put so much money into influencing votes? You can’t explain that, all you do is bash Trump and whine that voting is a waste of time. Please, you stupid fuck, explain why voting doesn’t work, explain it to Bloomberg and Soros….
Billionaires spend massive amounts of money to influence…..voting! Wonder why they bother if voting doesn’t matter? Explain why those men spend those billions and then look at how those men turned Virginia blue and then look at the gun grabbing legislation that was immediately created.
Your bullshit about voting being a waste of time is just that….bullshit and you are full of it.
“The amount of money coming in mostly from the Democratic side – billionaires like George Soros and Tom Steyer the environmentalist and Michael Bloomberg are all pouring millions of dollars in Virginia races in trying to reshape our state and ultimately reshape the country,” Gilbert explained.”
Vote Harder: Here, stupid, this is how voting works and not voting only facilitates and encourages opposition parties. If you are so stupid as to believe that both parties are gun grabbers, well, you can’t fix stupid.
Virginia was red…for generations. How did it get blue? Seems the most money in the state’s history was spent influencing votes for democrats.
Now Virginia may just become the first shot of the second civil war but hey, too bad, those democrats got into office by…..magic.
WASHINGTON (CNN)More than $166,000 in contributions, mailings and digital ads to help a political newcomer take on a Republican incumbent in a Richmond-area Senate district. More than $146,000 to help an Air Force veteran seek an open Senate seat in a fast-growing suburban county. About $75,000 to target the only Republican representing Northern Virginia in the state’s House of Delegates.
On Tuesday in Virginia, all three seats flipped from Republican to Democrat — after a $2.5 million spending spree in the state by Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun-control group aligned with billionaire former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The investments made the Bloomberg-affiliated organization the largest outside spender in the elections that saw Democrats take control of the state’s executive and legislative branches for the first time in a generation.
Since I am a born and bred Virginian and lived there on and off for 32 years, I can answer you.
Suburban and urban Republicans like Frank Wolf, Jim Gilmore and John Warner were traitors to true Virginians. Like all Republicans, they grew the size of government, catered to defense contractors, and spun on their digits while those jobs were gradually filled by Yankees. The Yankees flipped Loudoun, PW, and Fairfax. Fauquier can’t be far off.
There are other examples. But, while I currently reside in Tennessee and do love it, it will never hold the same place in my heart as Virginia. This Union was born in Virginia, it was tested in Virginia, and it will die in Virginia unless Boomers stop with the charades.
Maybe I’m an elitist, but I feel that native Virginians are uniquely qualified to speak to matters historical and political since this Union would never have existed without us.
The government has become a superorganism that cannot possibly exist with the consent of the governed in its current instantiation. That superorganism is further comprised of suborganisms (agencies). Unlike an ant colony, the governmental superorganism is parasitic all the way down to its multi-agency cores.
It is utterly impossible from both an inertial and sociological perspective for it (i.e. the current system) to ever represent the People again.
To continue to keep this bad boy alive is deleterious for the People. It is immaterial who the Queen Ant is. Her drones run the entire colony. If the Fourth Turning Theory is accurate – and I do believe it is, for the most part – then dragging the pain on just makes it more likely that we end up with something as evil as the USSR on the other side. Why is that? Because the Gray Champion is borne of the Prophet generation, and they aren’t getting any younger.
So make no mistake, demographics are not on the voter’s side. The Millennials are completely brainwashed. If the Boomers continue to drag this charade out, they condemn posterity to Hell on Earth for at least one more saeculum.
Alrighty then, go sit on your hands and hope that the things fall apart real soon. May the yoke of oppression rest lightly on your shoulders.
Oh believe me, I’m not sitting on my hands. I do need to slow it down a bit because between pushups and working outside, my right shoulder is FUBAR.
Things will IMHO be on track to hit the wall around 2024. At that point I give it at best 50/50 (probably more like 33/67) to see true liberty in this country again. All because the Boomers and Conservatives (usually a large intersection there) think that the government which has more than doubled in size since 2001 will become representative again. They’re condemning their children and grandchildren to miserable existences. Very sad.
They knew there would be cw2 and full on anarchy if hillary won. They needed a grey champion, false one, in trump. He could say things to appease many keyboard warriors and delay long enough to keep real patriots inactive until they finish off their preps for agenda 2030 and then under trump have him do their dirty work. We will lose many of our rights under trump. You watch. Either due to economic calamity, other ref flag laws, false flags etc. It will be much more widely accepted if one of their own takes away their freedoms. Can you imagine the shiftiest if Hillary was in and Jan 20 Va was looming? Whole other outcome could happen. Trump is not the rights friend as we hoped he was….
Please, you are smarter than this. Voting does not lose us the Republic, not voting does.
The Republic is already lost. The AUMF wouldn’t exist in a republican government. Virginia today would not be what it is in a republican government. The examples are myriad and self-evident. Go read the Declaration and tell me how many of Jefferson’s enumerated offenses haven’t jumped the shark already.
Wanna have a chance at rolling it back? Convince Congress to vote against its own self-interest and pass a term limits amendment. Convince them to ban all campaign contributions. Convince them to repeal the 19th Amendment.
Good luck! You’re yearning for yesteryear. It’s long gone and the longer you all play by the rules that the Alinskyites throw out the window, the worse off everything will get.
Starve the beast. Wind it down, as KD says.
Well, I guess I shall quit and retreat, best wishes to you all going forward.
No, the situps didn’t blow my shoulder to Hell and back. It was the pushups, years of lifting (RSI), and working outside.
Middle/East Tennessee has the best shot East of the Rockies to make it through this Fourth Turning. Only downfall is its <= 600 mile proximity to the BosWash megalopolis. One of the myriad reasons we relocated here was because I knew most people would not give up on the status quo. It's just human nature and I saw Virginia coming a decade ago. But that doesn't mean I can't practice what I preach and set my community up as best as humanly possible.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to do what they don't want to do. I just want to make it quite clear that logic and history dictate that it's an epic fail. It's like expecting the town drunk to use your charity to do something constructive instead of sitting in the bar all night. Einstein said it better than I could.
well said AOC
AOC I have done extensive recon and planning on best places to live in the coming 4th turning. The area between Dothan Al, Tallahassee and Destin FL that triangle is one of the best. Also is exactly east TN. What makes the triangle better is the people there will literally form an army. Not many places to hide, no mountains, and dig a hole past 2 feet and you hit water so they got a likemindedness about them.
I’m certain there are a few good places. West of the Appalachians, East of the Rockies, reasonable distance from a nuke plant, nuke silos, and nuke research facilities, reasonably rugged terrain, cultural uniformity, arable land, decent precipitation, etc.
I did a lot of analysis but it can never be all-encompassing.
It will be interesting to see where this goes.
I keep hearing so many say, pass the popcorn, will be interesting seeing where this goes, sit back watch the show. Personally, I am starting to believe there will never be a “good time” to salvage this republic because we should all sit back and pass the popcorn? So when do you take any action! A hundred years after you are dead and they took your freedoms? When????????????
Some insights on the FBI (should be the FIBers) Agent in charge of Richmond…not a confidence builder.
FORMER SEAL: STAY AWAY FROM the JAN. 20 RICHMOND RALLY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo4v1nsW2Ys&feature=emb_title
That is yet another Matt Bracken stay away piece….nothing new here…
The FBI info was new, and informative, at least to me and I suspect many others.
So, today the Virginia legislature banned guns in the capitol. All in preparation for the Jan. 20 rally.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia lawmakers voted Friday to ban firearms at the state Capitol, the first in what’s expected to be many contentious gun votes in coming weeks.
Newly empowered Democrats who made up a majority of a special rules committee voted to ban guns at the Capitol and a legislative office building despite bitter protests from Republicans, saying the move was needed to protect public safety.
“Our focus here is to keep everybody safe,” said House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn. “These are policies and rules that should have passed a long, long time ago.”
Public officials have expressed concerns about planned Jan. 20 rallies that are set to draw huge crowds of pro-gun and gun-control advocates. Gun advocates from around Virginia and even out of state have pledged to turn out in force to highlight their resistance to proposed gun-control measures.
Banned IN the capital.
According to the latest VCDL notice this evening, this does not apply outside which is where the demonstration will be.
Hey Mark, if you get a chance, revisit your recent guest post and scroll all the way to the bottom . . . am curious to hear your take on MY take. Thanks
The only way for THEM to hide the fact that they have destroyed our monetary system is to have a war to blame the collapse/”depression” on. Civil War, meh, whatever.
On Jan. 20, “Lobby Day” at the Assembly, thousands of gun advocates, many openly armed, will be coming [sic] to Richmond to protest new gun laws Northam and his new Democratic majority campaigned on and are determined to deliver.
Let’s hope thousands do indeed show up. Maybe it will avert an approaching civil war.
Hopefully Patriots have spies in all levels of Law Enforcement. Get there a couple of days early and reconnoiter the scene. Beat them at their own game if you must go.
The Art Of War’s overarching message is: Don’t play by the enemy’s rules.
However, If they invade your home all rules go out the window. Be prepared and unpredictable.
Is there an Old North Bridge in C’ville? Hopefully !
Can you imagine 100K people marching on Richmond with bottles filled with styrofoam and gasoline………
I do know that Gasoline will ‘eat’ foam; interesting recipe.
Diaper gel is better
To the not so smart anonymous. Not a good idea this go around. We made pipe bombs & all kinds of shit when I was a kid with readily available materials. It’s a federal felony now I believe.
thinking about it is a felony
Isn’t January 20th MLk day and nobody seems to connect the dots to the looming narrative from the msm how a bunch of redneck, bible banging, gun toting rayciss marched in VA on Jan 20 and confronted the blacks that were there to celebrate MLK?
My assessment….
The leftist, media, politocos, corps etc. will win this narrative no matter what occurs. To go there as citizens, unarmed, will either get you beaten, killed, injured, doxxed, or at least provide the narrative for the news about how crazy you are.
A winning strategy….
1) All these so called 2nd amend sanctuary sheriffs need to take every class 3, and every ccw permit holder and deputize them immediately. Then ask each of them for truly trusted names of other that want deputization. Do a background check and then deputize them also. Even if they do not own a gun. Deputize any firefighters that want to also.
2) send these unarmed newly deputized with an armed escort of actual sheriffs deputies, so if antifa starts bullshit they are dealing with real sheriffs deputies on the payroll
3) the blackfaced treasonous governor will attempt to with hold sheriff’s pay. Start a fund raising and support the sheriffs with donations, corp local donations, free meals, docs can provide free healthcare etc. at the local level.
4) know this is a set up on the enemy’s turf at their location and choosing. Expect bad actors and false flags. Wear non concealed holsters with bananas as weapons to make it so prevalent the media will have a hard time overcoming these memes when they start sniping from the tall buildings they will be killing people holding bananas. Fight the coming narrative by openly calling for no armed or seen weapons. If a ccw pulls a weapon they best be using it in a split second so there would be no second thoughts as if they had other options. Use lots of cameras because no matter what happens you will have to fight a media narrative and they control the airwaves. And your real footage could take years to reach the sheeps eyes.
5) demand trump support the Constitution as he has been very quite on this issue but vocal on slowly allowing the left to succeed in creeping. He allowed bump stock ban and even supports red flag laws. His is not your constitutional friend you think he is. I had to swallow this reality hard. But it is a reality. And I almost feel duped but I never was fully on the trump train since bush bamboozled me I have been awake. Burn me once….all i needed.
It will be hard to get everyone on the same page for this event so it would be best to keep the formal groups out. Allow the crazies to show up only. Then use the formal groups and their collective power to seize their opportunity legally and righteously by beating them where it hurts. In the courts using a good strategy. When this fails then all bets are off and they get what they deserve.
Anyone today under 40 is probably more brainwashed and will not have enough numbers to keep this republic. This ends soon or we take it back. The left have indoctrinated the next generation and they need to take over before these kids wise up and see how life really works. Now we understand the 2030 agenda, maybe…
24 of those sheriffs are democrats. You know some of them are bad actors sniffing out and putting plants into other patriot movements. This is their ground war sniffing machine. They are infiltrating to defeat this movement. Otherwise they would have deputized and made formal written agreements. This is beginning to look like a betrayal…..
