If you honestly think we are ~4 years away from NAZI level totalitarianism, what else are you doing? Are you stocking up foodstores, ammunition, guns, medical supplies? My guess is no. There are currently hundreds of freepers utilizing exactly the same fear as an argumentation tactic, when they really do not have that fear at all. It is an exaggerated fear, utilized as a form of argumentation. The problem with arguing from fear is that it’s basically cowardice. Try not to go there. Try to proceed from courage rather than cowardice. You already ARE proceeding from courage if you aint stocking up, getting a bunch of guns & selling your properties. So, why bring the cowardice to Free Republic when it doesn’t really exist in your own daily life? Take the high road. Embrace courage. With courage, there are no regrets.
I am not making my comments as a tactic. Up until some days ago I vowed I would not vote for Rombag. I changed my mind, and the primary reason was realizing more how extremely dangerous Zero is.
It is not cowardice to realize the extreme danger of a situation. It is rational. As far as being prepared for prolonged Troubles, I’m probably as prepared as most people who take such things seriously, considering that I am dirt poor. I could eat the boring staples that I have on hand for a year without going to the store, and have other basic measures covered. It’s cheaper in the long run anyway.
I don’t see why you think I am exaggerating. Seriously bad collapses of law and order, and tyranny, and mass deaths, have happened throughout history, with a lot in the 20th century. Why would we be immune, when we have all the ingredients, and now a stealth criminal in the WH? Who is a marxist since Occidental, a racist, a muzzie, and put in place by a gang of criminals such as Ayers, who are dangerous radicals?
You think it’s all just talk and smoke? They mean it.
People thought Hitler was a funny little man who didn’t mean what he said.
