I suspect the American people are beginning to realize the truth and wisdom of Zed’s last sentence.
But, it’s a process. See Kipling’s “When the English Began to Hate.”
The results of the process won’t be pretty, especially if you are a democrat.

That’s where Z is being a bit too literal. All actual leftists are our enemies but not all dims are actually leftists…they’re just here for the party as it were.
The condition of the latter is critical but not necessarily fatal. The condition of the former however cannot reach fatal fast enough to suit me.
The leftist Democrats are the snakes. The rest of the Democrats are the grass they hide in. Of course, the analogy is imperfect. Regular Dems don’t merely hide the dangerous left. They give it the power to bite.

No, not the Liberal L and not *just* the Leftist L, but the Loyalist L.
Loyal to the Monarchy, Loyal to the incendiary lies, theft, and manipulations of the First Rino, Loyalty bought by the Great Society, and Radical Loyalty to the New Age Slavery and total State Control of now.
The means and methods of throwing it off has always been the same; violent revolt and war.
The Original Patriots, the Soldiers of the sovereign CS A, the backlash of Nixonism, and now the MAGA Army, are the only forces that have, can and will prevent despotism and preserve Natural Freedom.

Watch for the next act. The Progs are unlikely to tolerate the Corruptocrats and Ghettocrats for too long. The Bolsheviks went for a very thorough cleaning of those who were not with the program. The Elite-Corruptocrat alliance is an enemy of the “True Believers” who are likely to want to remove those vermin. Stay out of the cross-fire.

I think Tom Jefferson had it right on the mark when he sent this letter to James Madison:
But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.1 Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government.” – Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, Paris, January 30, 17872
Read it and then read it again.

We can’t jump the gun on this one.
A communications network independent of Big Data is being assembled as we speak, and we must not attempt to throw off the chains of disinformation until we can be sure of their destruction.
In the meantime the abuses of the Corrupt Elite continue the rot and in the end we push down the whole slimy edifice.
I make it sound easy, but this will be the work, not of years, but of generations. This is because we also have to fill in the moral vacuum these bastards have bequeathed us.

Congress has usurped the powers delegated to the judiciary and is now trying a private citizen for crimes. Of what use is the Supreme Court when Congress has decided it is no longer needed, except to play the role of the obedient spouse and agreeably clean the toilet. Meanwhile, the executive branch squats and drools in agreement.
Is it too late to redeem our government? We will know soon, when they pass the laws to make our 2nd Amendment rights meaningless. That will be the time to push the reset button.

Your comment reminded me of this passage from Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’ album; from the track ‘Dogs’
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone’s expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything’s done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone’s a killer.
Everyone knows Roger Waters is a flaming Leftist/socialist but the songs on that album really work from both sides of the political aisle. It probably drives him mad knowing that.

My late wife started the Baton Rouge Tea Party in 2009. We held a rally at the state capitol on April 15th, like every other TP in America. 2000 people showed up at noon on a Wednesday. Wish I knew where they hell they are now…
We decided to have a second rally on 4 July. I put together a playlist before the ‘festivities’ got started. I included ‘Revolution’ and ‘Taxman’ from the Beatles. I also played ‘Fanfare For the Common Man’. The Emerson, Lake and Palmer version.

These Democrats of which some of you speak… The ‘grass’ that ‘hides the snakes’? Aren’t they just as guilty? I have yet to hear of a SINGLE Democrat say that another Democrat has ‘gone too far’. Regarding anything. Abortion? Virginia and other states have legalized the murder of a baby up to birth. The only difference between a full-term ‘fetus’ and a newborn can be as little as 15-30 seconds and about six inches, once the head clears and the first breath can be taken. So you have the monsters who pass this into law and the rest of them sit on their collective ass’s. How the f**k do you ‘abort’ an in vitro infant? Rhetorical… I don’t want to know.

Culpable, absolutely yes.
But “Guilty” when the standard qualifier of intent is applied, mostly not I think,like Sister Skye here…
The enabling effect is the same but the rank and file of the brainwashed are too stupid and naive and disinterested in anything other than the free shit in all its many iterations, and maybe some dreamy BS about coexisting and saving the planet to assuage their guilt and self-hatred, to be concerned with truth, reality, and anything requiring (ugh) critical thought, logic. and work.
They are the perfect eloi for this generation of Morlocks, and they represent the “perfect storm” of factors for the downfall of the republic.
So the hell with them. Those that get unwoke and wake up in time might join the Confederation and become productive human beings, but those that don’t? They will learn way too late that TANSTAAFL.
