I see the enemy implementing several of those if not most of them. Most are awake that something is wrong, but not sure who is the cause. I don't know how you stop an enemy that controls all non violent means of resistance and most of the government resources without using violence.
Wisely my friend. Wisely and with forethought. Use the things built into our Constitution to neuter them. At least for now, the Constitution and BOR, still has power.
The Founders constructed things in such a way that we have remedies and tools and they go beyond the soap box, ballot box and ammo box. There is also the jury box and idiot box (as my dad used to call the TV and would now include the PC). Those are just the obvious ones.
There may come a time, but, not until all of what they put in there has been exhausted.
Undisciplined emotion is what has brought us much of the mess that we are in. Things like the welfare system, letting criminals go without consequences, lax borders, the bs in schools.: greed, lust, avarice, sloth, gluttony...
Ever notice that all of the seven deadly sins are purely emotion based while the 7 virtues require thought and reflection to attain? That is not an accident.
Our system is made for a virtuous people; a thoughtful and reflective people. People who discuss rather than yell at each other complete with rude insults and name calling....that pressure valve, that solution built in by the founders, has been put under duress as of late by the division that has been sown. IMO, It must be revived to avoid the terrible consequences knocking at our door.
The working solution is not to respond with that same unbridled emotion because it will not resolve, only make more of a mess.
More often than not, progressives use "compassion" and "inclusion" and other warm fuzzies to push their agenda. They are also masters of creating fear, It is a mandatory pillar to their success. It is their Marxist roots that has taught them to appeal to the popular vote, by manipulating emotions.
Most people want, at least to appear kind and good. Unfortunately, they are unable to see how the political methods suggested by the left, are often born of corrupt and self-serving motives: Power.
To remedy that, is to point out the fallacy that this is somehow genuine, that it also, "coincidentally" increases their power, wealth and simultaneously decreases the liberty, power and wealth of the common individual.
I think I will be reading the Federalist Papers again as they are strangely relevant. Federalist 1
It is not, however, my design to dwell upon observations of this nature. I am well aware that it would be disingenuous to resolve indiscriminately the opposition of any set of men (merely because their situations might subject them to suspicion) into interested or ambitious views. Candor will oblige us to admit that even such men may be actuated by upright intentions; and it cannot be doubted that much of the opposition which has made its appearance, or may hereafter make its appearance, will spring from sources, blameless at least, if not respectable--the honest errors of minds led astray by preconceived jealousies and fears. So numerous indeed and so powerful are the causes which serve to give a false bias to the judgment, that we, upon many occasions, see wise and good men on the wrong as well as on the right side of questions of the first magnitude to society. This circumstance, if duly attended to, would furnish a lesson of moderation to those who are ever so much persuaded of their being in the right in any controversy. And a further reason for caution, in this respect, might be drawn from the reflection that we are not always sure that those who advocate the truth are influenced by purer principles than their antagonists. Ambition, avarice, personal animosity, party opposition, and many other motives not more laudable than these, are apt to operate as well upon those who support as those who oppose the right side of a question. Were there not even these inducements to moderation, nothing could be more ill-judged than that intolerant spirit which has, at all times, characterized political parties. For in politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution
