Citizen Strike?

That's a great post Vic Tory.

Thanks. I try.

We often read something along the lines of, "Nobody ever changes their mind based on internet posts." I am one example which disproves the rule.

a) I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 because I thought he would be terrible. I was wrong. Donald J Trump is the best president of my liftetime. (My first presidential ballot was cast for Ford in 1976.) I enthusiastically voted for him in 2020.

b) I scoffed at people who complained about "15 Days to Flatten the Curve." As soon as "30 Days to Slow the Spread" was announced two weeks later ... I was infuriated at the government over-reach.

Here is a list of what I believe would be tactics from the most to least effective means at stopping the Commie train cold, eventually derailing it, and ultimately destroying it.

Not surprisingly, they generally line up from hardest to easiest to actually achieve.
Next, how long it would take to stop the gears of the train, (1-3 months etc).
Lastly, I have set out what percentage of the current employed population I guesstimate it would take to succeed in any meaningful way.

1. THE last resort. 10+ years. 10%+ participation.
2. Stop using money. In all forms. 1-3 months. 30%+ participation.
3. Refuse to pay taxes wherever and whenever possible. 3-6 months. 50%+ participation.
4. Boycott all businesses/companies that are going along with Communist policies. 1-3 months. 50%+ participation.
5. Peaceful resistance to any and all tyrannical orders, mandates, rules, policies, or laws. 1-2 years. 25%+ participation.

I've long said the founders screwed up by missing a required forth branch. I used to call it "janitorial" but "restorative" sounds more legitimate. A branch that can clean, organize, sort and discard the detritus from the other three, with no power to itself legislate, dictate, or decree anything. Without it, there is no averting the eventual destination the rails of this train are taking us.

That was basically what the Militia was. Right up until Hamilton and Washington decided that people couldn?t just make and sell Whiskey without paying their fair share of taxes.

1. Unlike the previous FIVE Presidents, who promised to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem (Yes, from each major party.) he moved the embassy to Jerusalem.

2. He boldly challenged the lying cheating "Mainstream Media" like no POTUS ever has. The reason so many people now know CNN is a news outhouse is Trump.

3. His foreign policy "America First" was great! China, Syria, Russia, Iran and Turkey each realized they couldn't push Trump -- and America -- around anymore. Trump truly understood what it meant to "be the leader of the free world." He wasn't perfect ... but he wore that mantle well.

4. His economic policy was restorative. Many businesses which had taken their operations overseas brought them back.

5. Americans were proud again. Look at how many union-heavy states voted for Trump. They didn't even like him as a person, but they knew he was on the right track.

6. Trump won BIG in 2020. He got more legal votes than Biden -- by a long shot. NeverTrumpers and the DNC/Media/Soros/Chinese confederacy cheated to install Biden. I have not been persuaded by ANY arguments agains this. (And I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.)

BLUNDER: I agree with Steve Deace, that Trump's handling of the China Virus scam cost him the election in 2020. I don't think even the massive cheating could have succeeded if he hadn't elevated Fauci and advanced (the crazy) Operation Warp Speed.

He also made a hell of a lot of progress towards Middle East peace. Multiple Muslim countries now acknowledge Israel and verify their right to exist.

He even got Kim Jong Un to the negotiating table, and for a long time they weren't testing their weapons.

I didn't vote for him in 2016, but was glad to in 2020.

Pretty good documentary about what will happen. On a side note, at least we can wear some cool clothes without people looking at us weird.

Oh, yeah, nobody is going to look weird at a bunch of old guys with bare asses hanging out of leathers!
