I'm surrounded by people who see and agree that we are losing our country. The stolen election, the vaccine passports, the crashing dollar.... They know their children and grandchildren will have horrible lives....but they all seem to say what's the point worrying about it when there's nothing we can do about it?
Is there anyone else out there like me in mourning over all that we've already lost?
What a bunch of shameful weak americans we have become. The men who died for our freedom and people act like it was no big deal.
My heart is crushed. I'm so ashamed of some of my friends and family. My grandfather was a pearl harbor survivor, I lost uncle's in the Vietnam and Korean wars. And my family still has this disgraceful "well what can you do" attitude. I have lost all respect for them.

I know exactly what you mean. I’m constantly run into the same problem. I just make it point to tell them that we can absolutely do something about it if we collectively come together and demand action. Problem is no one seems to have time for such things. It’s absolutely pathetic
The end isn’t for everyone.
Truth! Speak softly, factually. Those who don’t listen are lost.
There are always people who lead, people who follow faithfully and people who just go along to get along.
Don't worry about the stragglers. When the path is set, they will follow even if they don't know why.
I explained to my family with the 3% explanation. Essentially, when the American Revolution took place, ~3% of the country fought the British while the rest stood back and took other roles (ranging from keeping the country's commerce going to running their own households all the way to prepping supplies for the Minutemen).
Not everyone is a front line fighter. Look through the Bible. How many people are prophets? How many people are mentioned by name? How many people were part of God's Plan? How many people were following Abraham through the desert?
Do you think every man, woman, child, cook, dog, cow, blacksmith, potter, basketweaver, tanner, gardener, and pregnant mother marched around the walls of Jericho?
Some of us are called to be Doers. If you're not a Doer, your job is to pay attention and Witness. Keep your head out of the sand, so that no matter the outcome you'll be able to tell the future Americans why we did what happened here, lest we ever have to repeat this awful chapter.
Very good point about witness.
I read of a Holocaust survivor. Part of the way he kept his sanity in the camps was to imagine he was an alien from another world, sent to Earth on an observation and research mission.
WITNESS ME! Sprays chrome shine to teeth.
And if you ARE a Doer, collect other Doers, rally them together, and DO.
Start small. What can you do RIGHT NOW?
Start there .
We are.
We are a small group of women, and we are fighting. We WILL get results.
Well said!
I like this!!!!! Going to do that!!
Same here .. same same ....I’m ashamed as well ..I just saw a few people on my walk , they were at least only carrying their masks , most here in San Diego wear two while walking and all the children are wearing them ..when the couple said how have you been ..( I used to see them everyday walking ) I said I’m great , I’m an American and I’ve been enjoying the fresh air everyday since this nonsense started how about you ? They looked at me and started squirming ! I said we need to stand up ..you hav3 a great day , I didn’t check but they probably stood there staring!
Great response. This is what I think I need. Just some ideas of things I can say before I blurt out something I regret
Yup I live with one of those and every time he says nothing we can do. I say there is we are the majority if we all stood up you would back them down. He says while I will stand up when every one else has lol
I've noticed many seem to only want to discuss things they can FIX. This isn't something they know how to fix so they just don't want to talk about it.
I've realized that some don't have the mental capacity to actually have an awakening breakthrough moment. I've spent months trying to red pill family members and it's like the information that I provide doesn't even phase them Just lots of "oh wow" and "that's scary". But no one is interested in learning more even while "being shown". No one I know seeks out the knowledge. It's so sad.
Now I sort of know what Cassandra went through.
We are out here . Hold the line.
That's encouraging. Thank you.
Fantastic! I like those 3 scenarios
Somebody here posted that he stopped buying Coca Cola in his work cafeteria. Several other people did too. The cafeteria drastically cut back on their orders from Coca Cola.
Boycotting works. But Americans have not mastered it on a large scale.
Consider that demoralization is one of the weapons communists use to sap the will of their enemy.
Have your friends/family disengage from TV, fake news, etc. Have more face to face time with people. Go outside more. Ask them to search deep within for the strength to tell their kids and grandkids that freedom won’t die on their watch. Not today or any other day.
Always remember we outnumber the minions of evil. Big. Time.
I'll be honest, ever since November 3rd I've been doing my best to red-pill friends, contact elected officials, etc. But It feels like I'm just treading water and if normies are indeed waking up it's hard for me to tell personally. The time for complaining to politicians is certainly over for me, and I've given up trying to point out the obvious to those that are asleep. This won't be solved that way, I think deep down we all know this. But who will take the next step? We're in the Intolerable Acts 2.0 it seems.
Civil disobedience and leading by example being the ticket is my conclusion after this little rant.
A caveat if I may. Your relatives who went to war all went with a draft system in place. Large numbers of guys were going whether they wanted to or not. Its easy to stand up and be part of an existing system that has government approval.
What we're dealing with is something completely different. As Catherine Austin Fitts says the truth is complex. It takes a lot of time and energy to understand and many people don't have it. That's why Q said we were in the majority and Trump had rallies else we feel alone.
Many people have a hard time visualizing collective action outside of an established organization and because of their school programming, can't function without a leader or external rewards.
Good points
It depends. Sometimes I reply that “I absolutely understand but there are thing to be done and I’m doing them.” Be prepared with several ideas that they specifically can do if they say something like “oh yeah like what”. Some people you just have to give courage by your actions. Let them see your ok with their choice but that you can’t wear one. Make up some crazy interesting reason. I have panic attacks. Usually if the ice is broken they will look at you with relief and pull theirs off saying something about how much they hate them. Some people are followers and you have to gain their trust before they will follow you.

I am tired of trying to engage in conversation with Utah state GOP members. They are RINOs. "Go along to get along", "let bygones be bygones", "let's move on."
Trying to explain to them this is what is killing the Republican party gets nowhere.
Tried to explain to them that the left is running circles around them with their organizational agenda-driven skills. I've seen them in action, with their notebook laptops, their meetings. Not considering any riots, they are doing it quietly, incrementally, without firing a shot.
When I ask the RINOs what is your solution for affordable housing in Salt Lake City they respond "government can't fix everything." I would bet a COVID stimulus check that didn't stop them from cashing one (accepting government aid). Doesn't occur to these idiots that maybe local government can do something with local builders and landlords, bring back boarding houses, make sure landlords have the power to evict, check how much money landlords are borrowing so they have to jack rents to make mortgage payments, etc.
The RINOs just don't get it. And I'm tired of peeling off Communist party posters from utility poles. Dang, maybe I should go grab a bunch and start stapling them on poles everywhere. Maybe THEN the RINOs will get it.
I am trying to work up the motivation to go to a "meet and greet" next Friday for Salt Lake County GOP. Not sure if I can stomach it.
I am positive we are losing Utah. Yes, I'm in that "there's nothing I can do about it" camp.

Awesome post! I've got a huge problem with the 2 party system. I think it's a huge part of the problem. When I walk into a local elected official's office as a registered independent, they listen to me. They know there's a chance I will vote for them and tell other independents too. Unlike if Im a D or R....they assume I'll be loyal to the party
Thank you. I just had to vent.
I say it is ok if you choose to stay asleep for now. When you are shaken awake I will be here to answer your questions and show you the data I have to prove everything. I hope you all are gathering data as well.
I agree with you. When I look around and see these things floating by I literally see children. Then come to find out they are like 30 and I just gasp.
I see walking living experiments. Snowflakes beta males that I honestly think would get their ass whipped by 6th grade girls. THEY ARE PURPOSELY BREEDING THEM and the lazy wanna be cool parents are exacerbating the problems to boot.
Before I ever depart a " talk " with any liberal I ask them " Do u have a red line ? " I sincerely want to know is there any point at which they will go werewolf and scratch someones eyes out - other than spoken truths.
Video games taken away, banned from soybucks, etc. Just trying to see if at any point in time could they ever be on our side as in " against big gov ".
In John Steinbeck's novel, Grapes of Wrath, there's the farmer who is being evicted from his land. In rage, he threatens to grab his rifle and shoot the president of the bank. Or the board of directors. He's told, of course, that this is pointless. The president of the bank can't stop the foreclosure. He has a boss himself. Or orders from back east. And you can't really shoot a bank. You might shoot someone who works at the bank and then go to jail, but the bank keeps doing its thing.
I think a lot of us feel like that farmer. We want to fight back, but who? Where?
Same as I stated before we found out about the election night fraud, "states' rights, bitch." Start local and the federal level will follow.
The problem is the action that we need to take will cross a rubicon that we can’t turn back from. This isn’t going to be done at the voting booth, since the voting booth is corrupted beyond repair.
In their hearts, everyone knows what that means, and what the sacrifices may be, and it’s easier to disengage because you don’t want a hot war.
You're telling the wrong group of people. Everyone here thinks we're not supposed to do anything because someone else is going to do it for them via the plan.
Couldn't agree more, let's just keep waiting for that knight in shining armor to come and save us. If they really start to mandate vaccines, confiscate guns and send people to re-education camps just remember to trust the plan and don't do anything, help is on the way...
