I put my faith in the system though...not only in the system of checks and balances we have for these very purposes, but in the faith that the people would stand up to prevent tyranny. Yesterday proved we wont stand up as a unit. The reason I didnt go to the rally is because I knew no one there is actually willing to fight the tyranny. We should be waking up to dead politicians this morning, instead we have dead teens and videos of "patriots" being muscled around. My faith was misguided.
I just dont think great leaders were ever this surrounded on all sides when they came into leadership. Our opportunity to have that leader was Trump, but he flaked. Now I fear it's too late. This generation has already been abandoned, demoralized, poisoned in every conceivable way, and left with nothing. Now the enemy has full control. It's hard to see any light at the end of this tunnel.
Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is your own reflection.
Edit: I mean this to give a degree of hope, not as some glib or sarcastic put on. I believe in you because you care and because you want to see justice prevail. Even if you fail, I believe in your desire and your willingness to save the next generation.
I appreciate the sentiment. But I know we are not in a unique situation. Millions have been exactly where we are, and millions have died for it. I'll go out swinging though
