We do you stand up and say you had enough of the Bs? Not at work, but as the people. Do we as Americans just keep going to work everyday and let the crap that’s going on keep going on forever? I honestly don’t know that answer.

I'm just guessing you meant "would you"? Go for it Rambo, I got your six from a way back yonder!!!!

In 4.75 years ima be 65 and ready to give them a piece of whatever mind I have left.

When you have nothing left to lose.

What BS?

There is arguably no better country to live in than the one we are currently living in right now. You can own pretty much whatever guns you want, you are free to work whatever job you want, you can save however much money you want, you can date and marry whoever you want, no one is going to be able to take your stuff without consequences, you are pretty much free do do whatever you want to do as long as you are not screwing up somebody else's life.

Is the United States perfect? No, but it's 10x better than the alternative. Whichever group is in charge, you can bet that 50% of the population is going to be pissed about it, and maybe that should be the way it works.

I find it ironic that there are people living in the greatest country in the World are talking about some kind of revolution. People born and raised in America don't know what oppression is, they don't know what chitty living conditions are, they don't know just how chitty a government can be. There is a reason that people all over the World are literally dying to get in here.

If you grabbed up your little AR-15 tomorrow and said, "I'm going to lead the revolution!" 99.99999% of the people are going to look at you and say, "That mutherfracker is crazy!"

If people want to change the World, maybe they should look inward and work on changing themselves for the better first.

^^^^ This right here.

I enjoy this site but, I have never seen so much negativity in one place in my life.

If you dont like this place, then leave.

I think standing up to what is happening in this country can be done in non-violent and legal ways. Standing up doesn't only mean violence and grabbing a gun.
I watch all the corruption going on involving the FBI, CIA, NSA, Whitehouse, DOJ etc which has risen to levels that I have never seen before in my lifetime.
I remember when "Watergate" was a huge deal and it pales in comparison to what we see daily in our country now. I think this is the BS the op was referring to.

I do think that voting alone isn't going to change things at this point. Unfortunately trying to get a massive coordinated effort that would be effective probably isn't going to happen and the slippery slope we are on will continue.

Without a doubt this is the best country to live in and we are truly blessed to be here, but there is also no doubt that we are headed in the wrong direction and a course change is desperately needed to keep our country great.

Well said Andy.

Agree 100% Andalusia

When god is pushed to the side this what we get . Took prayers out of schools was the beginning. When they knock on our doors wanting our guns it will be too late . Our votes don’t count anymore . We do live in a blessed country with all the abundance we all have but it’s not to big to fail. I am really an optimist person at heart but can t help be down about what happening in our great country at the moment .

I agree that we should call out things that are wrong and vote accordingly. I'm not advocating that we rest on our laurels and not participate in any processes just because we are living in a free society and have a generally high standard of living. However I don't hear anyone on here volunteering to help the political campaigns of candidates likely to effect real change either.

My comments were not directed at the original poster in particular, I just see a lot of posts on here that clearly advocate for some kind of armed rebellion, "keep your powder dry" is a classic example, and that would undoubtedly make things a lot worse than they are now. Armed revolutions historically rarely change things for the better. Most have mixed results at best, and considering our current standards of living, I doubt anyone is going to get enough folks to participate in their rebellion.

What do you propose we do?

Vote?
Volunteer?
Hunger strike?
Start a Podcast? Youtube channel?
Raise hell in an echo chamber on the internet?

Not being a smart ass, you should know me better than that after 20k posts on here. I'm just genuinely curious... What form should this "action" take?

I think bout this a lot . Wish I knew the answer . Can’t come up with any solution that would make a difference.Looks to me we facing any enemy that’s bigger than all of us put together. It’s called Satan.don’t see anything changing for the better in the short term . We like the frog in frying pan heating up slowly.

It’s going to have to start at the state level. Going to need to elect state leaders that will push back against the federal government, in real substantive ways. Leaders that will coordinate with other states to stand against federal overreach and work to reestablish states rights. It’ll take a lot of folks having to be okay with shrinking state government and reducing the amount of federal money we are taking in. Off the top of my head education will be the big one. Untie the state DOE from the federal gov. That part won’t be an easy sell even in a state that is “conservative”, there’s a lot of people that love big gov and will be upset if that federal money doesn’t flow in.

Nothing is going to change as long as there isn't better checks on voting. Also there are more freebies to buy votes and more of them than the working class. So exactly how is it going to get better????? This country is on a downward spiral for the decent americans. Its headed to full blown socialism.

I always knew I was an odd ball. But seriously, as an example, how many people think Kyle Rittenhouse is crazy? I believe we are closer to civil unrest every day. The water is boiling and many frogs know it.

No doubt this is the best country in the world and best place to live, the problem is it is rapidly being turned into all the other countries by the stoopids and the corrupt smart people who use them. And we have no place to run like the Cubans and Venezuelans. We have guns right up to the point the Dems have the presidency and both the house and senate, you can’t save what you want right now because the govt confiscates your money to feed, shelter and provide services to third world scum and the rule of law is no more already. It will go down quickly I expect and I am glad I am 67 and in a position none of this crap will affect me. There will never be any real uprising because of we are to comfortable and have too much. Real uprisings are brought about by desperate people with nothing to lose. What could make a difference was a highly trained and financially supported group of true patriots who selectively “Clintoned” those who are leading this march to a socialist banana republic. If the higher level officials who are implementing this crap started meeting unfortunate demises and the rest were afraid to walk out of their front door for fear of a .22 short to the back of the head things would change. But that is not likely to happen so we are pretty much screwed. I just feel sorry for my kids and grandkids cause they are the ones who will really pay the price for this.

Irish, I'll tell you how I plan to start: personally, and as needed.

For example, I have daughters in public high school. The day that their school allows a transgender (aka: a guy) to enter the restroom or locker room with them, I will be there. No, not with "guns a blazin", but I will be there to stand at the door, and maintain a female only restroom until they relent or I'm arrested. I suspect the latter, but I hope that I won't be the only father to stand up for his daughters and the other girls of our community.

We cannot stand by and watch our communities go down the drain. Yes, we are blessed to live in the best county in the world, but it requires attention and maintenance to keep it that way. It is but a shell of what it once was, and without some pain and hard work, it will be but a shadow of it's former self before this generation passes.

This is pretty childish nobody is going to start a rebellion with their AR-15. However if things were to fall that far apart you would probably want one to protect you and your family and community from anarchy... I think that's what most people are trying to say when they make the comments that are being referred to.

Anything beyond that is totally ridiculous.

What am I going to do.... tell anyone that will hear it to stop voting for people like Katie Britt. That's the real problem with this country... our founding fathers never envisioned the Washington swamp full of lifetime politicians. Stop voting for who Mitch tells you to vote for. That's what I am going to do.

BUT.... Irish - why don't you just answer your own question and tell us what YOU think. You think you are a smart guy.. then let's have it.

I think it's even more local than that, CeeHawk.

It starts in our homes, and moves into our local communities. Once you have communities on track, you have the leverage to get meaningful state action.
