Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago. The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by conservatives. For the first time in their lives, all Americans of all classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that threatens their families’ safety and the American way of life. The border is not just porous as in the pre-Trump past. It is nonexistent. Some 2 million people may cross illegally in the current fiscal year—with complete impunity.

Some things have to be lived to be believed. More and more people are seeing for themselves how the current administration is intentionally killing our country. Remember , to those that believe that it's their right to rule, you are nothing more than an expendable game piece.

You are filled with fear because you believe the Media and for get that our creator has to be acknowledged even before the Media.
Those of us who know God have no fear.
Try it.

It's called "stupidly trusting of the Democrats and their 'Expert' Stooges."
The only reason there is fear, instead of simply concern, is that Democrats and their so-called Experts regularly try to panic everyone. They are flailing away like maniacs anytime a Patriotic themed event is held but strangely quiet and indifferent of one of their events is drawing mask-less crowds. The Hypocrisy is astonishing.
And all the stories they are dredging up to justify mandating vaccination... I just saw an article where it was judged, "mostly true" that Washington made his troops vaccinate against small pox. First Small pox was a gruesome dangerous disease that killed many people, regularly. Second, it was already a remedy, if someone came down with "Cow Pox", you'd drag everyone over to catch cow pox - especially vulnerable children, because people had learned over generations that people who had cow pox didn't get Small pox.
It was already "time-tested". And Small pox vaccines were originally made from seepage from Cow Pox sores. Washington strongly advised to vaccinate.
That's not a mandate, and small pox is not COVID.
And these people are getting so desperate for control that soon someone is going to slip and do something unforgivable.

The most important weapon used by Communist revolutionaries is 'Create Chaos". From Chaos comes Communist control of 1) Academia. 2) Media and 3) government services.
All 3 goals have been accomplished in the USA,

Too late. All 50 states must cede from Deep-State USA. Form a new Nation, electing Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis president and vice president. –Veterans for Trump

We have good reasons to be fearful regarding what is happening to our nation.
The radical Democrats are willing to take this country down irrespective of whether Democrats are harmed along with all others. The radical Democrats seek power and they are not going to stop unless and until something stops them.
Victor Davis Hanson is correct, although he did not mention that judges in state courts and Article III courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have failed us by not stopping state governors from ignoring state laws that protect the integrity of election ballots. A few examples are governors ignoring laws that mandate voter ID, mandate voter signatures, prohibit drop boxes, and specify clear deadlines for valid delivery of ballots to specified locations.
The U.S. Supreme Court punted when it could have held that state governors must follow the applicable state's voting laws, and that governors cannot ignore such laws unless clearly and specifically allowed by the applicable state's law.
The courts have allowed unconstitutional COVID-19 mandates that were (and are) arbitrary, unreasonable (usually overbroad in their application) and politically motivated.
The courts have too often effectively and shamefully allowed the COVID-19 mandates to unlawfully trample our Constitutional rights. It's as if our Constitutional rights have been suspended.
Yes! Our fears ARE will founded.

I’m not filled with fear!
Anger.
Disgust.
Hatred.
These are all things I f-e-e-l at various points in the day for the disgusting communist who are destroying our nation and my son’s future. This is no longer about disagreement nor civil engagement. It is a war, but no one wants to admit it.

Well #2 I'm not a believer so I'll pass on the whole religious thing but aside of that I don't believe half of what the media says and the other half is subject to skepticism. Unfortunately many people lack the skill to discern propaganda disguised as reporting, opinions by experts, etc. and therefore believe what they are fed via the media. It should not surprise anyone that when a large percentage of the population spend more time following internet "influencers" and all of the other nonsense that passes for information that we have a society sorely lacking in the ability to separate fact from hype and disinformation.

CWII is coming.
The Red States will be forming the Alliance to begin taking back the country.
When it comes many of dem will be shocked to find the police & military have sided against dem.
Sure the top brass seems to be with dem, but as History has shown brass means nothing when to troops think you're nothing.
You can bet that many keep a mental list waiting for the day they can start to cross those names off.
Any real Historian will tell you that the stupidest words ever said are.
"It can't happen here."

Not fear. Hate. And a resolve to do something about it.

You cannot blame the Democrats any more than you can blame a rattlesnake. They are what they are and we know what they are. But the Republicans are another story. They say nothing and do nothing while the country withers, which is why I have voted for the last time.
