That's because it is.
There are two ways to achieve unity in any group. The first is to set up a few serious standards of conduct, policed with the absolute minimum of compulsion, and then allow freedom in all other matters. This was the founding vision for our federal government. In this vision, we agree not to infringe upon one another's life, liberty and property, and we create a government capable of preventing or prosecuting such infringements. Then, so long as we abide by those simple standards, we are free to pursue our own paths. Diverse ways of life can coexist within this broader group membership. Governance becomes largely a matter of localism -- places with homogenous values setting further standards for their group membership. But our broadest-group membership is easy to obtain and easy to maintain.

The second path is rife with fear and terror. Think Islam and Marxism.
Saw this dog and pony show before during the French Revolution. Satan is leading the way for a replay in America.
It’s called communism. If everyone would just call it what it is AND has been for decades then we’d be able to fight it with resolve. Most people are confused and mystified as to what,how and why this insurrection is happening. The left uses the phrase Woke to somehow enlighten themselves but what is happening is that we’re in a living nightmare.
What scared the hell out of me was when SECDEF Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Milley showed disunity with POTUS.
Very true, but a large and growing percentage of the population doesn't believe in that path. The only path to any measure of survival is to separate the country into four. There is no way forward otherwise.
...”What scared the hell out of me was when SECDEF Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Milley showed disunity with POTUS.”...
Yes! Is that who they are? Did they serve without understanding our Constitution or is some greater force threatening all of them, including our Congress, our Corporations, our Athletes, and everyone who holds any power? A knowledge of history’s most evil players makes this a very scary moment. Why are they all so silent regarding the rights of all Americans to have them abide by the Constitution which created our freedoms?
The “Dog And Pony Show” is our so-called “democracy.” America as founded is dead.
The thoroughly corrupt, degenerate Ruling Class wants totalitarian government and a servile populace. And they will get it.
We are not “voting” our way out of this mess.
Pretty much nails it. Now many who have taken it for granted will realize the uniqueness of the American experiment. Built upon several centuries of growing enlightenment, individual freedom and political liberty require at their core the acceptance of personal responsibility and a “Christian” fellow feeling for other men and their rights.
This experiment is now over. With time mob rule will grow and morph into some form of dictatorship. This is not surprising since this is the natural state of man (Hobbes).
The founders would not be surprised, a 250 year run year of liberty was more than they would have expected.
Absolutely. It smells of a military coup.
Well at least the usurper is showing his cards.
There were only two plans proposed “in the beginning”.
One involved great sacrifice from the one willing to atone for sin, suffering, pain, anguish, injustice, and a long list of things we will all eventually know and understand.
The other was the totalitarian, plan where agency of man was removed, and the glory of God was at stake. We chose the better plan, and the usurper was remove from his place along with the third of the host of heaven that agreed with him.
That same fight has been ongoing on earth since Father Adam and Mother Eve were sent here to open the advent of mortality. Through agency given to each individual we get to choose which side of the fight to join. For many the choice is clear. Which side was our Savior on. That is where we want to be. For those who have a hard time hearing and seeing with eyes and ears, the choice is not so clear.
Very importantly, he should reframe the conflict in our society as not one between races, or ethnicities, or socioeconomic group etc., but one between those who want to wake up each morning in a free nation that allows them to follow their own path, to achieve their own dreams, and to speak their own beliefs and words without fear, versus those who will not tolerate anyone who doesn't think their same thoughts and believe their same beliefs. He should state that besides Jesus Christ, and saints and prophets, there have been no men or women who have been beyond sin and mistakes. And, as such, we have to make a decision whether we want to be the kind of society, the kind of nation that does not tolerate others past transgressions and seeks to punish all, vs a nation and society that is forgiving, slow to point the finger of blame, and that encourages and fosters working together for a better future that is good for all Americans, and good for the world. Anyway, something unifying without pandering or appeasing.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Seven Days in May was rescheduled for June.

You can imagine what China thought of it at this very delicate time.
“Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Milley”
When I saw the picture of Milley attending the “photo op” in his combat gear it made his assertion that he shouldn’t have attended because the military doesn’t belong in domestic disputes ridiculous. If he was concerned about that then why didn’t he wear a business suit?
Many people have been rendered intimidated from identifying the attempts to violently overthrow our constitutional government and to give aid and comfort to the enemy as Treason.
Likewise there have been few demands that these Antifa, BLM, and other Demonicrat domestic terrorist traitors be tried, convicted, and sentenced to be publicly hanged.
True.
We appear to be in the Normalization phase of Yuri Besmenov’s subversion model. As I recall he stated the only ways out as being a major war, civil war, coup, or collapse.
Face it.... bored youth.. with nothing more to do than to go on a “destroy what i dont like” mission.. and the joy.. the high from this is the power and recognition from weak pantywaste CEOs who have not learned the first thing about right and wrong.
Those kids out there, given free reign to runamuck, actually believe they are doing a good thing.. that is ignorance in full bloom and on display.. they have lost reality and living on a newly found intoxicant... power to destroy!
