More and more each day I watch the present situation, escalation of violence, rioting, looting, burning and fall of our country. More and more each day I ask myself and others when is the other side or our side our the RIGHT SIDE going to take a real stand. Where is the fight? Our politicians? Our friends and families? Those whom LOVE this country, fought for this country? I am not sure I can remain any longer part of what they call the "SILENT MAJORITY". I pray there is one, but sometimes I just need to see it not be told it is out there.
Great read by Victor David Hanson on this...... are we going to gamble on this Silent Majority come election day? Will it be too late to squelch the Marxists that are running rampant, getting all the media attention and headlines, directing the nations narrative? WHAT WILL YOU DO? This is a thread for the "COUNTEREVOLUTION"
Waiting for the Counterrevolution

As the rioting continues, Democrats and the media attempt to blame it all on Trump, and most Americans watch and worry, in silence.
We are in the midst of a revolution, a cultural and racial one, that seeks to refute the past, damn the present, and hijack the future. So far, however, we have only heard from one side, the revolutionaries and their enablers themselves.

.......and so far, the revolution is well funded, proving useful for the Biden campaign, and airbrushed by the media as a necessary humanitarian effort to address “systematic” and “endemic” racism. But the main goal is to destroy Trump, by weaponizing plague, lockdown, recession, and riot to pave the way for a Biden bridge to hard-core socialism.
And last, there is the quiet majority of Americans of all races and classes. They have watched all this for months — but kept mysteriously still.
At first, they shrugged that a plague, a national quarantine, and a recession can make people do crazy things, and so they stayed mum.
Then some felt that Trump’s braggadocio needlessly goaded the protests, so he might need a comeuppance for a few weeks.
Then they told themselves that the riots and revolutionary rebooting of America would die out with the virus, sort of like #MeToo finally hitting the Joe Biden wall of “Tara Reade is lying. End of story.”
For a while, some liked the idea of cultural carnivores devouring their own at the haughty New York Times or Planned Parenthood. Others sighed that blue-state governors and mayors were reaping what they had sowed.
But now, the public is getting worried.
Many Americans may not like Trump, but they know now that Trump is all that stands between themselves and chaos, anarchy, depression, and the end of America as we know it.

So what will the majority ultimately do?
It is slowly steaming but for the moment still holds on to a shred of hope that the madness will die out as the revolution cannibalizes its own — even though many know that it will not. Maybe the Democratic Party will tack back to the respectable Left, or so many dream.
Yet at some point, if the rioting and revolution and overt socialism continue, the majority will weigh in, likely from mid September to mid October.
