When Is Enough, Enough?

The past three years have drastically altered my perception of people and what they are willing to tolerate.
Perhaps I didn’t get the “get along quietly gene” or maybe I worked in the news business too long, but when did we fear so much that we allowed ourselves to stop trusting that still small voice?
I’m reading a book “To Rescue The Constitution” and am amazed by, even then, those who didn’t want to bother fighting England but instead simply wanted to “Get Along.”
There is no “Getting Along” with Tyrannical leaders.
We live in desperate times yet a good portion of the population keeps its head down, some buried, denying what is happening around us.
Last night on our TikTok Live we spoke with a Retired New York City cop about the situation in his city. His story is the same in every other big and medium sized city.
(Get Real Live on TikTok Monday & Wednesday 6PM MT).
A quote a read recently from Thomas Paine says “Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered: Yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”
A glorious triumph is coming.
Will you sit by and allow people to tell you what to do and call it compassion or will you stand up for yourself and your country and end this non-sense?
We have a choice.
What is this tyranny Rick speaks of? Is it a 10 year old rape victim needing to travel to another state to obtain an abortion, all while being hounded by government agencies? Is it taxation without representation, as experienced by Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., and other territories? Is it the school-to-prison pipeline? Is it having states that are overwhelming controlled by one party (a topic he constantly ranted about while in Oregon, but has weirdly, strangely gone silent on since moving to Montana)? Are these the government actions Rick has been so worked up over?
Nope. It's that three years ago he had to put on a mask during a once-in-a-century pandemic and he saw black people protesting a state-enacted…
I agree generally with bentrobot (price of gas, for one) (and if the price of gas is so high, why do so many people drive in a foolish manner, wasting gas?) but not with the semi-vulgar language.
Historical research shows 1/3 of the population of the colonies wanted to remain part of the Empire and maybe as many as 1/3 did not care. I believe most revolutions were the same.
My relatives who live in NYC describe problems but not to the extent the cop relates.
Rick, you write of a glorious triumph coming. Get off the fence and be specific. Your generalizations go nowhere.
