Why Aren’t Americans Protesting in the Streets?

The Never Trumper National Review wants to know why we are not out fighting the democrats when they helped Biden get elected???

Maybe because of what happened to the Jan 6 bunch who are still being tortured in solitary. Maybe because the communists dont care about protests when its them being protested. Maybe because the money has been fake ever since we got off the gold standard, and both parties borrow without any intention of ever paying it back. Or maybe because some of us dont get welfare and we have to earn a living to pay their taxes and inflation. Or maybe we are just waiting for a real leader who is not a globalist hack. Oh yeah, we had one of those and you cheated him out of his win. Maybe we are just waiting.

Americans have a tradition of being law-abiding, trusting in the electoral system to produce representatives who are trusted to work for the mutual benefit of all Americans. We are a trusting bunch. We have not yet learned the lesson of the disaffected minorities among us, e.g., blacks, homosexuals, communists, etc., who have a tradition of marching in the street, burning things and tearing down what others have built in order to usurp the will of the majority and grab power for themselves. But perhaps we are learning. The boot of authoritarian government, now largely removed from responsibility to the citizenry because it has morphed from a representative republic to an unelected administrative state in the service of an evidently illegitimate executive branch, is clearly being placed upon the necks of "regular" Americans. Once it becomes clear that there is no longer any hope of redemption of the system and restoration of our constitutional republic we may yet see a counter-revolutionary uprising. I hope that day does not arrive and that reformation, rather than revolution rules the day. But I am not optimistic.

I am confused by his confusion. There is no such thing as a trillion dollars. You are just talking about theoretical dollars. We have no idea how money works anymore. Money is now mere rhetoric. What are we supposed to demand? The thing to be upset about is the roadmap to communism that the woke budget reveals. If THAT doesn't get you in the street scary ghost dollars are gonna.

With few exceptions, I cannot bring myself to read NRO. I just cannot take it seriously after its treatment of Mr. Trump. NRO tests my gag reflex. NRO helped install the current horror we know as the Biden-Harris Administration.

All the republicans had was fair elections ...now that's in doubt.....For one thing Charlie DC is a sewer & no one trust anyone in DC enough to protest. When they arrested protestors January 6th while allowing years of destruction it's difficult to trust courts & judges.

Can’t say for sure, Chas but maybe just maybe the 5 years of you crapping on OUR choice for President you changed some minds. Actions have consequences, Chuck. NRO, ESAD.

Possibly because we know that the gutless wonders we send to Washington don’t have our backs.

People are not protesting in the streets because they know the Biden administration does not give two hoots about the will of the people. Biden is President in name only. The Biden administration is not a representative government. The Biden administration continues to believe that it can steal elections by voter fraud. It's being run by fanatics who are rushing headlong toward socialism, and will not change tactics unless and until the fanatics lose confidence in their plans to steal the elections. They have the support of the mainstream media, censorship by BigTech, a corrupted Department of Justice, a politicized federal judiciary, and an intimidated U.S. Supreme Court.

#1 - Well said. Haven't read National Review in a very long time. Had a subscription when Bill Buckley was alive, but do not even read NR's articles posted here. I wonder how much the magazine is promoting the hard work being done by those who will prove that the 2020 Election was a farce.

The Warroom Posse has been flooding Congress with the message of "NO to the Continuing Resolution" and "NO to raising the Debt Ceiling". Join the Posse today and spend some time either calling your Senators and Reps or emailing them. We forced a party line vote in the House. Now it's time to pressure the Senate! It must be done TODAY! They will be forced to shut down the government on 9/30 and run out of money on 10/15. Here are the links: https://www.senate.gov/general/contacting.htm https://www.gop.gov/about/members/ Call or email them with a simple message...NO ti the CR & NO to a Debt Ceiling Increase!

A house divided can not stand. These guys did some of that damage and now want people to face solitary confinement to fight without support.

#2hHas the answer...and I quote: "Or maybe because some of us dont get welfare and we have to earn a living to pay their taxes and inflation!"

If you lamebrained idiots have to ask - we're saving our energy for the real fight.

Why aren't you? We're watching and waiting until you, who created this mess, have had enough and decide to fix it. The voting machines need to be fair. What good is voting if there is no trust? The border needs to be fixed. Inflation needs to be stopped, all these checks for xyz need to be monitored. People should decide their medical needs, not the government. We had a president who did that. Now we laugh at yours who is a joke and note you are not laughing.

Why arent Americans shooting politicians and hanging them from lampposts?

Protest in the streets? LOL, most Republicans are afraid to put Trump signs in their yards let alone use a day off from work to actually do something to protect our freedoms. Nah, republicans are too "civil" to protest in the streets. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Take a peek at the DC Jail and see people being held without bond and no trial in sight. Tortured by BLM guards and kept in solitary. View the latest rally that had more police and FBI than citizens, and the answer is clear on why no protests.

Cooke assumes that most of the American people are reasonably well informed. They're not. And if they were it wouldn't really matter. The leviathan has a life of its own, every federal spending program is on autopilot and comes with a tenacious constituency, The numbers involved are so large as to be beyond human comprehension, and the very notion of the National Debt is an abstraction to most people, just TV program filler and white noise. And against that background Cooke is surprised that no one is willing to stand on the railroad tracks and holler "Stop!"?

I think as of Jan 6th 2021 the right to peacefully assemble for those on the Right was stripped away. There is a reason they are still holding protesters in solitary, leaking out tidbits of their Gitmo like existence, for at little as a misdemeanor trespassing charges, it is purely for intimidation purposes. The Right has been successfully bullied, made to be leery of any gathering being another setup by a bunch of worthless human filth to bring their political wrath down on those that do not march in lockstep. I am not sure those on the Right will ever feel safe exercising their god give rights again, which is exactly what this Maoists scum want.

1. Because I don't argue with crazy. 2. Because nobody cares what I have to say, least of all, the people doing these things. 3. Because it won't do any good (see 1 and 2 above).

Leadership. We don't have it. We on the Right follow logic and rationale more than emotion. But we FOLLOW.

I've seen what happen to anyone, not a commie, protests. The Democrat brown shirts are well paid, backed and supported by the government. I don't want to end up like Kyle Rittenhouse.

Seems no one was too concerned about the $10 TRILLION spent in the COVIDS era for stimulus and social support. Then, that was good spending because both the UNIPARTY and PDT were in agreement. Public finance in this era of fiat money is simple...you borrow as much as you can float. Occasionally one must inflate beyond the 3% annual target to significantly cut the debt's value. Printing presses are cheap to run. As money has no intrinsic value, government can always create more. Remember when a candy bar was a nickel? What's a shrunken version cost now? What's a pack of chewing gum cost? Or, Life Saver candies?

If you think the French Resistance caused the Nazi's problems, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Cleaning and oiling and practicing.

The source should not diminish the question or the implications of the answer. Perhaps this is why RINOs are RINOs.

This is the BIGEST queion on my mind. What has happened to our GRAND OLD PARTY????? We need gurads to protect all of the water fountans in our sacred government buildings!!!!!

Why aren't you, Charlie?

National Repuke clueless. Marching around with signs is a good way to get thrown into solitary confinement and tortured by the FBI. If you want to contribute, go underground, join a militia, or help in countless other ways. Are you still buying from corporations? If so, you are buying the rope they are using to hang us. Stop. Are your kids in government schools? Get them out. NOW!

People have become anesthetized by the internet and welfare payments.

I cannot believe how pathetic we all have become!! Looking at all the posts here makes me sick because everyone is a darn defeatist!! First of all, who CARES if this came from NRO?? If the message is right, it shouldn't matter! Ya'll need to get over your prejudices and anger because of the Never-Trump stance the magazine had--mainly because of Bill Kristol. GET OVER IT. The question is the right one and there is NO EXCUSE for our complacency. We SHOULD be taking to the streets. Forget Jan 6th. They are trying to intimidate us and it seems to be working. Do NOT let it. And who cares if there are people on welfare. Many of them do not like what's happening. And they shouldn't be stopping any if you from standing up and peacefully protesting!! And yes, people on the right should be peacefully protesting. We have MORE people than the whacked out left. The tyrants have brainwashed ya'll into thinking you should just stay home and be quiet or they will make your life harder. Well, they will make your lives MISERABLE if you do not get out there and protest. It is your right and your DUTY to do so!!! NONE of us has any excuse for not standing up and demanding what is right!! It is PATHETIC and DISGUSTING if we do not start taking to the streets VERY SOON!! Good people in other countries all over are doing it. It is unconscionable that WE Americans are doing nothing!! If anything, we should have been leading the way in this fight against tyranny!! What is wrong with everyone here??? This does not even look like the folks I used to know on L.com. People here didn't use to be sheeple being led to the slaughter. Why are we behaving that way now? Have ya'll just let them demoralize you? Have ya'll just given up and want to become a China subject or worse? More likely it will be much worse. They already have concentration camps they have been building. They already are holding political prisoners and have been for decades...it has just become a lot worse. They are not going to let up until we are completely broken or dead. The non-vaccine "vax" is designed to kill us over time, you know. I have seen the proof. You can beat it, however, with supplements if you can get them still. But the nightmare will only get worse unless we all make noise!! We MUST make ourselves heard!! They are actually afraid of us because there ARE more of us and they haven't turned.yhe entire military and police yet. But as long as we stay quiet, they know they have nothing to fear. So, LET'S GET OUT THERE!!! Let's make ourselves heard!! We should be in the streets...PEACEFULLY. Martin Luther King Jr. did it peacefully and told his people not to take the bait of those trying to incite violence. We can do the same!! NO FEAR...NO SURRENDER!!!! LET'S ROLL!!

Maybe they have jobs, respect law enforcement, obey laws, don’t believe in destruction of property , DC is not exactly the place a republican would dare protest …and one sided justice is veryyyyyy evident!
