    In modern times, I think that pretty much leaves just us.

    Yup. I too am shocked that it took this long.

    China is a serious enemy not a soul wants to take seriously. Kind of reminds me of Hitler. Everyone thought that kissing his ass would placate him till it was too late.

    We have enemies within to reckon with... as well as enemies without. Freedom is not immune from domestic threats. They come in a variety of wrappers.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    Judging from some of the images that came out the protests a few months ago, my guess is this will not go easily. OK. Fights On.

    Put me in the Tin Foil Hat camp but I am thoroughly convinced the COVOD debacle plays into this.

    China invented Chess and their leadership have been playing it for years. Now any protests will be put down with the excuse of trying to prevent pandemic, and half this country will applaud China’s actions.

    It's not just the left in this country that seem to admire autocrats, autocracy and the so-called "dictatorship of the people".

    Failing to recognize this would be a grave error, in my view. I choose not to be a member of either tribe, so as to more clearly see where their actions and policies do not intersect with mine or what I consider core American values.

    I see as many shipboard rats on the other side of the aisle. I don't let my hopes and concerns for the future of the 2A (alone) blind me to the danger represented by these two monoliths. It's insidious, and like rust, never sleeps.
