We would be screwed because it would be a battle between the two factions of about 30% who want their side to win at all costs and want to burn it to the ground if they lose.
The other 40% of us are normal people who just want to live our lives in a free country and prosper with a minimum of interference.
I can live with 4 years of either of those idiots running things. It's the "burn it to the ground" part that is the problem. Push the middle to take a side and they just might decide that shooting your faction is better than having your side burning anything to the ground. That is the thing that should frighten the civil war types - they don't understand that they have to keep the middle on their side and burning shit to the ground isn't going to do it.
I think its safe to say that the bulk of participants on a gun forum tend to be conservative and would prefer to have a conservative government and culture. We are not going to get that by acting like BLM.
One could argue tho that it’s the fence riding middle grounders that are the root of the issue. Failing to choose a side & commit to it adds to the dysfunction. And prevents the very thing you say they want: stability & freedom
The BLM comparison is disingenuous. For one, the CW proponents dont want everything burnt down, they want liberalism stomped out. Secondly, context matters. BLM burned down their own neighborhoods in the name of a violent woman beating drug addict loser.
That has zero in common with those that see a violent overthrow of Tyrant Trudeau as the only answer going forward.
BLM fabricates racism so they can justify their actions. While also openly proclaiming to be a Marxist org with the ultimate goal of destabilizing western culture. How in the world does that have any contexual comparison to American loving conservatism? If the middle ground 40% cant separate the actions of those two very different groups - that’s an indictment of the middle group.
Im emjoying this debate but Im not sure we’re all on the same page. So I ask this to clarify things... are you aware that Canada as of today is proposing a bill (that will get passed) that someone can be brought to court and convicted of having the POTENTIAL for committing a “hate crime”???
Not an actual hate crime (of which practicing christianity is now cosidered such in Canada and carries prison time) but if it is deemed that you could POTENTIALLY commit an ambiguous hate crime, you can be held liable.
How much further down the dystopian rabbit hole must we go before we realize we are way past fixing this at the ballot box? Serious question. How many protesters must be trampled? How many protesters beaten? How many livelihoods ruined? How many activists jailed indefinitely?
Maybe the answer is there is no point where we consciously put an end to this slide into decay. It has to happen organically - people totally suffering and then they finally snap. I can live with that answer. But i cant live with thinking we can fix this at the ballot box. But Im game to be proven wrong, let’s see how Nov 2022 goes. Will we see any blue states finally wake up & flip or just further polarization?
My guess, the blue states are lost for good. Be it election fraud or just a really stupid voting base. Everyone would rather double down then admit they were wrong in deep blue areas. That goes for Canada also. Their entire country is dominated by the voting base of Toronto.
So not only does the Toronto area own the ballot box, but they’re willing to get violent to win. You cant beat that with pacifism imo.
