This is just a rant, mods can move it if they feel they need to, but more pedes are feeling like me.
I live on the same land my great great great grandfather was given by the second continental congress gave hime for his service in the Revolutionary war. I've probably had a relative fight in every war weve ever had. Lost my brother to Desert Storm (I made it back), the sandbox has seen my 2 nephews over many tours. My election was stolen in 2020, and it seems that this country that I love is turning communist. My commander in chief, told me when the election was stolen, to put away my guns; that him and the military had this. I know he was not lying, I have enough critical thinking skills to know he is still the President, and some bad people are being arrested. I know that children are being saved by the military, the children are the biggest part of my patience. I know in my heart that God wins. I am ashamed of myself, because even though this is a long war, and things are happening; I have just stood by (well, i have been trying to wake people up) and let my countrymen die, some of my family die, and so many fellow citizens of this country be hurt. My sister says that I should be proud that I recognized what is happenning and stood down, But I dont know. Part of me (a minority part) sais get myself and nieghbors together, go get our guns and sleeping bags and do stupid shit, but i know this is wrong, but that same part of me feels ashamed that I have done nothing. Sorry, this is a rant, but i know im not the only patriot that feels this way!
I live in Panama and I feel the same way. Down here, things aren't as bad as up in the States. We are not being forced to get vaxxed or lose our jobs yet. Police don't bother us much about walking around not wearing masks as in other countries. The media will still push the same fear bullshit that many people swallow. But even though things are not as bad at the moment, I still feel a lot of hatred towards those responsible of the shit we are a species are going through, and I wish we would do something about all this. I know it will not be the solution because I wouldn't be able to get close enough to those motherfuckers running the show, but I wish they would die the most horrible deaths imaginable. I'm just not ashamed about that.
