Fare the well, Friends - Parting thoughts

Well, I think this will be my last post on this site.
Here are my concluding thoughts after more than a decade posting here:
- this is a great corner of the Internet with some smart folks;
- the United States that we have known is over...I really mean that. I don’t think people have really appreciated that yet. I think even the GOP congressional members, staff and the lobbyist and industry around them don’t actually appreciate this fact. They want to put Trump behind them and return to the normal cocktail party business ventures, enriching themselves and their friends.
That is over. They erroneously believe that this is about Trump for liberals. It’s about absolute power. The Left has attained it and there is no looking back. They control the message, they control communications and they control all branches of federal government.
- I think American Christians, of which I am one, still believe God will somehow intervene and protect us from persecution experienced by millions of Christians over the last couple hundred years in France, Russia, China, Africa, and other places. Why?
Leftist regimes ALWAYS target Christians and many times it results in genocide.
God will no doubt prevail in the end, but there may be a dark valley ahead.
- There is talk of what will trigger a real response from the 75 million disenfranchised Conservative voters.
The common thought is when they come for our guns. Well, without an organized, lead force fighting, nothing will happen...please look at the French and Russian revolutions as evidence.
- Finally, you can’t see things clearly without studying and appreciating the reality around you.
Conservatives must accept the reality and their vulnerabilities.
100 years from now, historians will look at the period between March 2020 and December 2021 as the fire that destroyed the greatest empire the world had known to that point.
I’m not saying we should quit, give up or cease planning. I’m saying we must accept reality and enjoy each day for the day it is. Love your family and friends. Treat people right. Pray and read your Bibles. Be cleared eyed and plan, as you can, be deliberate about everything.
However, the sooner you accept reality as a Conservative and understand those in power hate you, the more likely you can think about and plan for your immediate future and enjoy the present without focusing on those things you ultimately cannot control.
See you on the other side, Johnny. It’s been real.

Godspeed, patriot.
Hard to disagree with much of your post.

It’s already written, brother. We’ll lose here.
Take care.

This is how I felt when Obama won re-election in 2012. Then 2016 came along and gave me hope again.
You never know what the future holds. The present rarely predicts it. The Past can, and does, but with too many variables.
Keep your chin up, Mickey.

I don't blame you. Last week really broke me as it ruined most people's ability to support Trump and his policies publicly. But, it's not just the left responsible for the current situation. The swamp is what it is. If Trump has done nothing else, he has exposed the GOPe as frauds.

Voices like yours are needed. I certainly understand your reason for leaving, but I would hope that you and others with the same mindset continue to post here with wisdom like this. It’s needed.

Well written, good post. Good luck, brother.

Too much Truth. The Truth Hurts.

Thanks for summarizing my attitude so precisely.
I’m 82 and don’t expect to see another real election - only sham shows to demonstrate 98.7% support of new regime.
Got many in my own family on wrong side of this.
Trying to decide if I should separate totally from them to protect them from the coming purges.
Good luck. We’re gonna gonna need it.

I hope all is good and this is not a message that you are about to hurt yourself. Please don't do that.
If this is truly your last post and not a shout out for help, then good luck...

Its a difficult situation. Do you do like OP and give up your voice for safety or do you keep voicing your opinion in printable form for them to use against you and your family later on (but not much later)? I hate that its come to normal people having to make that decision IN AMERICA.

This dude will be back soon.

Unfortunately, I agree with everything you’ve written.
Folks need to understand that we are living in a fallen world; although we are separate from it, that doesn’t mean our road will be easy, but we do have the promise.
We all need to keep our families and each other close. This could get bad, but the storm can be weathered with faith.

Sorry to see you go Doc.
Farewell.

I think you are right about dems going forward. The "pandemic voting" model isnt going anywhere and will keep them in power. Our elections mean nothing.
Conservative political voice has now been labeled "terror" and very quickly, moderate democrat voices will be silenced as well. Democrats who are true "liberals" who value free speech, free exercise of religion, Second amendment rights, and so on are happy now, but will rue this moment in history. They are next.
And I really dont see a way to undo what's been done. We live in a dictatorship, not autocratic, but a single party dictatorship. It has all of the earmarks; the media has been propagandized, opposing political speech is no longer allowed in most public forums, laws are not equally applied based on party affiliation and political power, and elections are controlled to ensure outcomes.
