I will be the unpopular voice in the room. We’re dealing with psychopaths who will NEVER respect anyone else, listen to reason, or consider logic that doesn’t work in their favor.

“Violence” is what perpetrators do. It’s why we have police and military, to protect us against violent people.

“Force,” even deadly force, is what we use to stop violence against ourselves, our families, neighbors, and our country.

What happens when the people at the highest levels of government are themselves violent, selfish, and sociopathic?

When the politicians who are supposed to represent you have no respect for human rights, the Constitution, due process, habeas corpus, or the law of the land?

What then?

Do we roll over and refuse to protect ourselves? Do we refuse to defend our neighbors, families, children, livelihoods, freedoms, or nation?

Do we erroneously cling to our failure to distinguish between force and violence?

We are like children who, having never seen a chicken killed and plucked, sit at the table and eat, calling it delicious.

But upon witnessing the act of killing the bird, we recoil in horror, chastising the one who did the deed, calling them a brute.

But when they stop, and there is no fresh fried chicken on the table for our supper, we moan and complain.

The people of Ukraine, civilians, immediately began training in military tactics when they learned that Russia was preparing to invade.

The United States of America is a nation born of rebellion. It was not a “violent” revolution, but a courageous act of self-defense.

The Founders knew King George was a tyrant and cared nothing for their welfare. They knew that no one would come along and save them.

They knew that if they did not stand for themselves, no one would stand for them, and they would be ground beneath the boot heel of tyranny.

The courts are buying you some time. However, that’s the extent of their power. The time they are buying you is time you are wasting.

The reason the regime is not making more fuss about the “losses” in court is simple:

They have already won the biggest court battle, but they did so without technically winning.

They know they don’t have to return anyone from El Salvador because no one will make them do it.

They don’t have to stop abducting people off the streets, even full citizens, because no one is going to force them to stop.

You are dealing with sociopaths. They are the equivalent of serial killers in three-piece suits.
They only speak the language of violence.

They only respond to the language of force.
Continuing to state your case verbally is ridiculous. They already know they’re wrong; they DON’T CARE.

We already know they are wrong; we don’t need to hear it seven hundred sixty-three times.

The only people who can save the American people are the American people.

If you need a model, use the neighborhood watch of Lincoln Heights, OH. They understood the assignment.

They are the Black community, and they have never been able to naively expect that someone in uniform, or an expensive suit, would come along and protect them.

Like the people of Ukraine, they knew they must stand for themselves.

Despite being the “more educated” party, Liberals, Democrats, and Progressives seem to be woefully ignorant of history.

Our present moment is NOT parallel to the Civil Rights movement.

The beautiful strategies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi are impractical in this current state of American affairs.

The opposite of the Civil Rights movement was merely preserving the status quo.

It wasn’t about the total subjugation of every single American citizen who is not already a billionaire.

Therefore, it is not accurate or wise to assume that “non-violent” forms of protest will protect the people of this country from a violent dictator.

We have already witnessed them snatching people off the streets and sending them to foreign prisons, where standards are well outside the acceptable standards of the Geneva Conventions.

Then, we witnessed two dictators sit in the Oval Office and laugh at all of us. They cracked jokes about “homegrown criminals.”

Each of them smirking as they said, “I can’t do anything about it. Can you?” And the other responds, “Who, me? No. I don’t have the power to do that!”

They’re mocking you because you allow them to.

They’re the schoolyard bullies who never learn. That is, they don’t learn until some new kid they pick on turns out to be tougher than they are, and unwilling to put up with them.

When that new kid thoroughly whips their punk asses, they slink back under the rocks they crawled out from beneath.

But they will not retreat one single moment sooner than that. Bullies must always be physically put in their place.

The only exception is when a strong disciplinarian teacher or principal steps in and ends the conflict.

But our Congress, Supreme Court, State governors, and most of our mayors have proven that they are not up to the job.

We need wartime leadership, leaders who are willing to take bold steps, such as calling out the National Guard to deter ICE, instructing State Police to protect every citizen and legal immigrant, or face termination.

Steps are needed such as governors and mayors allowing and encouraging citizens to organize neighborhood watch groups like the one in Lincoln Heights, Ohio.⠀

Local officials should not only be encouraging this, they should be funding it and overseeing training, by bringing in former military personnel and law enforcement experts.

Such experts can teach citizens how to be safe and proficient with firearms, and how to de-escalate conflicts when possible.

But they can also teach them how to use force when necessary, using the least drastic measures necessary.

I consider it absolutely essential that we be greatly expanding access to trauma first aid courses, such as TECC. That’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care.

If citizens don’t end up shooting someone who they view as a kidnapper, then certainly we still run the risk that one of these fake, cosplay ICE agents ends up seriously harming someone through their complete lack of training, experience, or integrity.

There should be at least one person on every city block who is certified in trauma medicine, or at least familiar with it.

The alternative is not pretty, citizenry, full of pure, unbridled rage, rising up in small, unofficial vigilante groups and causing chaos and destruction.

It’s only a matter of time before this occurs. Setting up a series of dominoes in a line and tipping the first one denotes a predictable outcome, not a wildly speculative slippery slope fallacy. Seeing how such events will soon begin to take shape is merely common sense.

Local governments could easily take genuinely effective action by channeling the rage of the people into effective safe training of local militias, instilling in them the sense of duty that would constrain them against making rash decisions. 

But someone must stand. The courts are doing their best, but they have no real teeth.

However, Democrats will likely not take the initiative and do these things. I expect no such bravery from any of them.

So, I beseech each and every person who stands against this tyrannical fascist regime to do it themselves.

Be safe. Be responsible. But be fearless and be determined.

Responsible citizenship behooves us to be proactive and protect our neighbors, our communities, and our freedoms.

The sycophants in Congress are loving their new levels of power, as well as the occasional extreme profits of the president’s insider trading schemes. They will not budge from their shyster positions of extreme privilege. 

Nothing about this regime’s actions over the last hundred days says “respect for democracy and democratic freedoms.” 

To believe that they will take away your due process and rob you of your right of habeas corpus, but that they will allow you to have free and fair elections is the height of naïveté. 

To think that they will illegally pitch autos on the White House lawn, but will not rig elections is dumb.

You are watching them offer influence over US government decisions to foreign nationals through contributions to an illegal bitcoin account. To think they are not planning to jail anyone who speaks out is just plain stupid. 

They’re already in the process of rigging future elections, so they will appear to have integrity on the surface, but will have nothing underneath. 

If you cannot bring yourself to believe this, then either you are gullible, or the president truly is 6’ 3” tall. 

The military is bound by oath not to interfere in civilian politics, even when the politicians are trampling on the Constitution. 

Unless the military forgets their oath, unless they fire on the people or unlawfully arrest them,  then they are the only blameless party in all of this, so far.

Every train of thought leads 

Until you stand for yourself, America, your situation will deteriorate daily. 

I repeat, why would they take away your rights of due process and habeas corpus, unless they intend to subject you to terrible things?
