Even during Trump’s Presidency, I’ve had the feeling and fear that me and my generation, are living on borrowed time. Hell, I know that I’m a dinosaur, that doesn’t bother me at all. But watching my way of life die out is a pretty tough row to hoe. Worse than the couple weeks seeing Dad in the hospice, knowing he was soon going on without me. I guess now I know how the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors must have felt 150 years ago. Knowing that the Buffalo were being killed off, and that the center of our religious world and the very heart of our existence, is being ripped from us. My kids, and their kids, if they’re allowed to survive, will be forced to adapt to a reservation. They’ll never know and understand our world, the freedom we enjoyed and the love we knew of hunting and shooting for the sheer joy of it. The thread about ammo and components sorta drives home the point. (See my post there) I honestly believe this “shortage” is a planned and orchestrated event. I understand the hoarding argument, but for crying out loud, even a fellow who just fell off the turnip truck can see this is 10 times worse than anything we had in the pst. We conservatives, especially the hunters and shooters who believe in Christ, and even more especially if you’re a military veteran, are now considered potential terrorist and insurrection risk! There are way too many black swan events happening one after the other to deny that somebody is doing some serious manipulation. I really don’t give a chit. I know that growing up in a free America makes me too much of a threat to the “People’s Republic of Amerika” to be allowed to continue. I’d much rather go down defending myself, my family and my rights than be gassed or machine gunned into a ditch anyway. I’m also a little bit ashamed of my Dad’s and other family members military legacy. Me, and 75 million other people stood by and watched as our country and our freedom, our children’s birthright, is stolen. Yes, I know that to try and fight back now, it means sacrificing the life Penny and I have been working for. But I also figure it’s only a matter of time until it’s lost regardless of what we do. Anyway, the soapbox is open now. I gotta get up early tomorrow because “time to make the donuts 🍩” comes early! (the older I get the earlier it comes ) 7mm

Well said sir and at 50 yrs old I feel the same as you. I served in the US Army was a CHP Officer, and now remodel houses. My whole adult life has been in the service of this country and our people. I hate that we straight, WHITE christian, veteran, law enforcement hard working Americans are being touted by the left as the enemy.

I have had thoughts very similar to yours. Times are changing and not for the better from my perspective. I am grateful for the freedoms I have enjoyed and wish my offspring could enjoy the same freedoms but that is very unlikely. I fully expect the time will come when I (we) will be tested for our resolve.

Here in Canada we've had little issue so far. I

Good that some more of us are seeing the light, that this is not just another democrat administration that we can weather. Nut cutting time is coming, and I hope there are enough of us to bring this communist insurgency to a halt. We won’t do it by dying alone. and the best defense is a good offense. When its time to fight, take it to them, don’t wait for them to come to you. Let them live with the unintended consequences of their actions.

How to prepare for government collapse?
Stocking up on perishables is fine and dandy but IMO, the most important thing to SHTF preparedness is survival skills. Brushup or learn the basics in living off grid. Know how to grow and store your own food, hunting, trapping & fishing. Know how to survive in your area without power, running water, petroleum products. Know how to treat common injuries and maladies. Have a plan and a backup plan.
Just look at what just happened in Texas! The entire power grid was shut down and people were without heat for weeks. O'Biden administration didn't step in and help. WHY? Punishment for trying to take the voter fraud case to the supreme court? Am I reaching? I don't think so. I would bet serious money that the lack of response from the federal government was AT LEAST PARTLY because of Texas resistance to Resident O'Biden and the Hoe.
My argument is that we cannot expect the government to help! It's the government that is taking away every aspect of our FREEDOM. We have to learn the basics of survival, at a minimum, to balance the equation of storing supplies & fighting skills!

First step, put on your red caps. Don't let them think we've been intimidated. Write. Call. Have a flag in your front yard. Fighters fight and this is still a political battle. Doing nothing will get you that.

I've felt this way for a LONG time now. I think we passed the point of no return decades ago, but only now many are just beginning to see the cliff that we are about to go over... the cliff they have been warned about for many decades. It's too late now.
If what is left of the American people want to destroy themselves, fine, piss on them. I just find it sad and frustrating to have to see it happening right in front of my eyes.
Is it any wonder that I withdraw from "society" (such as it is) more and more every day?

I think we all feel a little dispair when we see the country on a greased pole to hell. That's quite a post 7mmbuster. Now is the time that we are no longer in our prime. We no longer trust in the strength of our arm, nor in the armed forces. We do not trust in politicians. That leaves the One we should encourage each other in and Trust like never before.

If you have not read this article by Lee smith I highly recommend it. Keep in mind the Time magazine article by molly Ball about saving democracy in America. This just goes into some more detail about who our real enemies are. The wealthy elite and China. The wealthy elite switched from the republican party to the democrat party and have bought their way into political power ever since. That is just the simplified version of it. Mr. Smith goes into some detail that will help you decide who really wants to control America and the reasons why. It is a long read and complicated but well worth your time. In fact, it will probably raise your blood pressure a bit. Just don't stroke out and blame it on me. The first 2 paragraphs seems to set the tone. We have now become the "servant class" which gives the elites permission to kill a few of us periodically just to remind us where we belong. kwg https://www.algora.com/Algora_blog/...-american-elite-chose-to-make-with-china

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." This. Enjoy every sunrise and every sunset. This is all in the hands of the Lord. Life is precious. Enjoy it while you can and dont worry. Let HIM take care of the morrow. It truly is out of our hands and truth be known, HE doesnt intervene until there is no other hope and our backs are to the vicious Red Sea. HE has a Covenant with America and He has chosen and provided our Moses and our David for which in prophecy He says He will open and clear a way. HE, in fact has so far. He has never pulled the rug from under one HE has chosen to lead Israel, His believers, to safety. In HIS way, HIS mercy and power will be shown to the world for HIS own magnificent glory. The porphecies of the Ages are coming to pass in this most magnificent time of the Earth's histroy. Can you not feel the change in the air? The Lords chosen are meeting the minions of Satan on the battlefield and the tares will be gathered and burned and HIS glory and HIS shall be given His utmost desire for them, freedom again! Its going to be BIBLICAL. Hey, get you some popcorn and enjoy the movie.
