Why are they empty?
Why are they surrounded by chain link fences and under construction?
You are right. The list goes on and on. They are as Evil as Hitler or Stalin or Mao. They just don’t have the power they need to do what they want to do. Yet.
Another impending problem is what will happen when the new Marxist president of Mexico takes over. Many are saying that he will turn Mexico into a Venezuela and push hard for the “Reconquista” of our Southwest. Then we’re in trouble like we haven’t seen before.
Why don’t we try enforcing the, for lack of a better term, regular law before we go off declaring martial law. I won’t take too kindly to ANYONE declaring martial law.
People talk a lot about the civil war but always seem to forget the period leading up to it. Do a little reading on the 1850’s. For example, 1855 Kansas/Missouri. It took several years and quite a lot of real violence leading up to Lincoln’s election before uniformed armed forces clashed. It was far, far worse than anything we have seen so far this century.
Exactly. This won’t be CWII. People need to think more along the lines of versions of the Yugoslav wars- a blend of ethnic, political and general anarchy. The catalyst will be some sort of financial collapse. If there isn’t that, there will just be a slow smoldering. If we have that, we will spiral quickly. Both fundamental sides (the right wing and left wing) will seize the opportunity of the crisis and take advantage of it to rebuild the country into what it wants.
I agree with your analysis.
So true. They did the best they could, and that was good enough to last about 250 years, but in the end, it can all be undone by the evil and the stupid.
The stupidity of the brainwashed fools is appalling.
At a time when more people can be educated than ever before, the outcome has been indoctrination and stupidity.
The stupidity of the brainwashed fools is appalling.

It certainly is. And we’re basically outnumbered.
the old joke-
Do you know what the difference between genius and stupidity is?
“Genius has its limits”
lol That’s the truth.
Yup.
“They just don’t have the power they need to do what they want to do. Yet.”
Only a matter of time IMHO.
100% correct, though I don’t think it’ll be by year’s end.
I returned to prepping several months ago.
Kinda wish I hadn’t sold the Barrett M82A1 .50cal BMG w/Leupold optics, but I have an amazing collection of fully-’accessorized black hardware’.
"It certainly is. And we’re basically outnumbered."
Yes. About half the US voting population falls into that category.
I’m worried that once Trump is gone we will see them going back to business as usual.
Michael Rivero, is that you? Welcome back, we missed you.......
I miss Michael Rivero but he may be back on this thread.......LOL!
I don’t know of anything that could happen that would make them wake up.
The US will never be united again.
The demographics make the future look bleak. Even the electoral college won’t save America from leftist rule after a few more years of attrition of the voter base. One more eight year Democrat cycle and the demographics will be fatally compromised.
We can’t foresee the future, of course, some new workable form of American nationalism could emerge. I suppose one example might be Italian and Irish immigration waves of a century or more past. These were probably opposed by many traditionalists but today, Irish and Italian Americans are among the core of Trump’s support. Some forms of Asian immigration have worked through a similar process.
It could happen again with Hispanic immigration which seems to be the main threat to the stability of the current political order. There are many hard-core leftists among the Hispanics, both in the legal and the illegal immigrant communities. But will they stay hard-core leftist after generations of living in America?
Is there some way of squaring the circle and creating a political movement that Americanizes (for lack of a better term) the aspirations of these inevitable residents and citizens, or is the solution to uproot the vast majority and try to keep the demographic balance suitable for a non-leftist future? Even there, you have the inescapable fact of 80-90 per cent support for socialism among blacks, and 50-60 per cent among millenial youth of all backgrounds, thanks in part to two generations of educational brainwashing.
Then you have the social and cultural trends which promote fertility among immigrants and discourage reproduction, even marriage, among the European portion of the population. Those trends basically point towards a socialist future as well.
If we know that socialism is wrong and dangerous (its end result likely to turn the prosperity of today into a vast poverty within a generation) then perhaps it is time to consider a different form of government and to reshape the education system towards an acceptance of that new reality. The choices seem to be between an authoritarian top-down rule or revolutionary bankruptcy. Neither of them is very appealing but I would rather live under a benign dictatorship than a freely elected death spiral.
This goes a few steps beyond martial law. However, if somebody does not articulate this view and act on it, the results will inevitably be socialist chaos. The only question in my mind is whether it starts in 2020, or 2024.
And the problem is that many who think about this and see the inevitable aspects will be my age (going on 70) and will think, well this is a problem for my kids to solve. Or their kids. If they have any. Now of course, the same questions might have been raised about a leftist projection in the 1970s and then social conditions changed considerably and allowed for a Reagan revolution. But that was without the Hispanic factor at play.
You’ll notice I didn’t even mention Islam in this. For me, Islam is just a nuisance background feature of this spiral, it would be happening even if there had been no Muslim presence at all in America. It doesn’t help, of course, but the main factor to be considered is, how to preserve the free enterprise personal-liberty model of Americanism in the face of a growing demographic clamor for statist welfare. If the illegals were really committed to personal growth on their own initiative, they might be welcomed but in fact they are just looking for the social welfare that their home countries cannot or will not provide. Perhaps there’s a solution apparent in that fact, we might get a workable solution by funding social welfare programs in those home countries (and you could only access them there).
This is a time of great emergency. Make no mistake about that. I live in Canada so I get to see on a daily basis what lies around the next corner, we are a bit further along this road to socialist surrender here, but with a somewhat different set of demographic factors in play. We have more of the homegrown conditioning factor I mentioned and less of the Hispanic socialist influx factor, so on balance, about the same critical mass just waiting for the demographic time bomb to explode. As bad as you’ve heard Justin Trudeau is, he has not gone full Castro on us yet, but if he doesn’t after an enabling second election win, the next bunch might. And we only have RINOs up here, the numbers of actual conservatives in our Conservative Party is a handful, and our Trumpian alternative is just in its very early formative stages. (way too late in my opinion)
