I've heard us called the "silenced" majority, due to being censored and under-represented in media, but the signs that we are the majority are everywhere - from box office numbers for "Sound of Freedom", to the successful boycotts of Bud Light, Target, and other woke companies, to the huge crowds who support Trump. However you wouldn't know this by turning on the TV, looking at social media, talking to normies in the street, I'm just curious how it got this way? Did we allow leftists to infiltrate and dominate every institution in this country, from politics, to media, to education, and even corporate America? Or is it possible, that we are not the majority we think we are? Just trying to get a discussion going about this.

Most conservatives and people on the right are believers in God. Through the years (I think) that rather than the Republicans/conservatives fighting with the Democrats/liberals that it was best to 'turn the other cheek.' We gave in to their wants for the country rather than doing what was right. We have literally followed this bible verse rather than stand up for the truth like we were supposed to. There are times to turn the other cheek and times to fight; as the Bible tells us. So this is how we basically caved and gave the Democrats what they wanted. Over time the Democrats have gotten bold to the idea that we Republicans weren't going to do anything so they basically started doing things they wanted. Our laws have somehow changed, they've stolen from the American citizens, they've taken our rights and even now are working on taking our freedom to worship. They've even won over people from our side to join in their schemes and plots to take over the world. This is what we have allowed by simply turning away and not paying attention. Now that the majority of us have awakened to the knowledge of these liars, thieves and demons, we can and will no longer turn the other cheek to their corruption and evilness. This is my opinion. Thoughts?
I've heard this before, and I believe this is a big part of what happened. Think of the church over the last 150 years, I remember hearing that pastors were all "fire and brimstone", meaning they primarily focused on how sin will send us to tell, really hit hard on truths. Then over the last 70ish years (post WWII), started focusing primarily on love. The pendulum swung so far in the other direction, I think that's where we get the turn the other cheek belief from, that we are supposed to love our enemies and give them the shirt off our back and whatnot. When in reality, what the church should be teaching is a combination of truth & love. You're starting to see this in churches now, starting to stand up and preach the truth, even if they lose congregants because of it.
Exactly. There is a time to turn the other cheek, but when you continuously do it with the same group of people, they tend to know you will do nothing. This is the time you start the fight and forget about turning the other cheek. Like you, it should be truth and love according to God's word. Have a blessed day my friend.
