It’s not nearly as complicated as once I thought it was. It’s a top-down insurrection. All that it ever needed was a sufficient number of conspirators, in key positions, to network with each other. Granted, the numbers needed were large. That is why it took so many years to take hold. Once the threshold was reached, however, circa 2015 or 16, the treachery began in full swing.
The plotters were delayed by one mistake, a very big one, in 2016. They underestimated the amount of electoral fraud that was needed to place Hillary Clinton in the White House. That set them back four years.

I'm not sure that we'd have to kill as many of them as the author seems to, but maybe so.

It's dying.
Sadly, when we reached the point that the people who vote for a living outnumbered the people that work for a living, that was the beginning of the end!!!

The Republic is dead. We were not worthy of it. Look at where we are. If we were worthy of it the Washington mall would be festooned with the bodies of elites hanging from posts.

A Republic that refuses to acknowledge God cannot be saved without Him.

As long as we don't rely just on the ballot box, yes, there is plenty of hope.

Give alms, fast twice a week, forgive everyone who has injured you, ask forgiveness of everyone you have injured, go to Confession once a month, learn to pray. Nothing else will help afaik

The military has been proven to be traitorous - talking with China, abandoning Americans in Kabul.etc. We are cannon fodder to them. Local cops are leaving and the ones who stay want their pensions and perks. They won't help. Eventually, they will be swallowed up too.
Small arms are no match for all the military equipment that's been given to states and cities for years. The best we can hope for is to keep our heads down and wear covid masks.

#8, you should read retired Colonel Kurt Schlichter’s writings about how we could and would beat the military, if it came to that.

Any place whose fundamental principle is "Beat The System" is incapable of maintaining a republic. The corruption is so deep, the perpetrators of evil so powerful, that the righteous are helpless
Hunker down and wait for the smoke to clear. .

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

OP, until their intel gathering is degraded enough to make it safe to rally around a leader they can't suddenly drone, it will take 10-20 million 'lone wolves' to erode the commies will to power. No organization to infiltrate or monitor. Just strike and fade away. Asymmetric warfare. The commies won't like it, but tough noogies.

If the leftist and socialist Democrats have any say, they will tell you that the USA is well on its way to becoming a one political party run socialist utopia. Guess who that political Party will be according to the leftist and socialist Democrats? Them!

If we don't fix widespread voter fraud, then no. It cannot be saved.

Our mighty US Military was defeated over the last seventy years by the North Koreans, The Vietnamese, the Iraqis, the Afghans. I really dont think their high tech toys are any match for millions of angry rednecks who are fighting for freedom. Besides, many of those rednecks served in the very same military, so they know how to work it.
And really, wouldn't it be better to wait for the pentagon to give everyone guns and ammunition? It could save big bucks.

If these clowns were actually honest and competent, I would not care. The problem is they seem intent on killing the goose that laid the golden egg through their greed and corruption. They are willing to be 'royalty' over a wasteland. They are destroying the country. I would hope enough people would see that and oppose them, but that's not happening.
Is the republic dead? Its dying, and its probably terminal. Don't think it can be saved. We are too divided.
Personally, I hope I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't see anyone out there that will unite the country and preserve it. Our best chance was Trump, and even he wasn't enough. Perhaps the problems facing the country aren't real or aren't severe enough to do real damage, but I don't think that's the case.

What is "freedom" anymore? Everyone wants everyone else to conform to their rules of behavior. Pass a law to obligate this, that, or whatever du jour. Everyone supports "free speech", by which they mean agreeable speech. And when anyone says something outside the orthodoxy the name-calling and censoring/canceling begin. Doesn't matter what. We don't defend the freedom of others, and demand they respect ours. Doesn't work that way.
