You said: "A. You believe the election was stolen." I think the Left tried to steal the election in several key states. I don't know if they did or not, because they might have won anyway. But, let me add: I don't follow all the information in that regard. I am casually informed on this since the election (I kind of tuned out for awhile after the election, changing my radio stations from talk to music, watching netflix instead of Foxnews, etc.), so you haven't heard me do too much arguing about it here. Most of my "arguing" was merely to make the point that it is wrong to say there is "no evidence" of fraud. There is evidence. The only question is what does it prove.
You said: "B. You were comfortable watching the Capitol Being Attacked (by others)"
Yes, I was comfortable, because I was sitting on my couch. Literally, that is what I meant; I was not cold, and exerting myself climbing a wall, risking my future. I was just trying to say that I was not so outraged by my views regarding A above, that I was willing to do anything like what they did. I was not willing to do that. My life remained comfortable...on my couch.
And, since I think that the nation is going down the tubes anyway, all the attack did was speed up the timeline a little. It is what it is. Many people suddenly realized last week that we could lose everything. I faced that realization years ago. So, I didn't experience the shock that you all did in coming to my level of awareness of the risk we've been running as a society by playing with fire in our daily politics.
You said: "C. You are happy people that people will react again in the same fashion?"
No. I personally think the Left has won, and it is just a matter of time before things go off the rails leading those who are more fervently conservative than I to fight back. But, I don't want that fight to occur. I won't be happy when it does. Not at all. That would suck.
I suppose it is possible that the Left will take away enough of our rights that even a lazy ass like me might be motivated to do something more than just vote in an election in which I doubt my vote will be counted. But, given the events of last week, I definitely know that others will be motivated to take action far earlier than I would be. It turns out, I'm far more tolerant of tyranny by the Left.
You said, "I doubt your really believe authorities will "start putting families on my street in cages..."
And, I doubt anyone on the Left really thought Trump was a despot, or that his election was like 1930's Germany, or that people would be put in train cars, or that his election was illegitimate because the Russians stole the election for him...right? And yet, the Left said all of that, which is interesting.
You said, "As time has gone by on here you seem to be more and more angry and believe more and more unproven allegations. Sorry to hear that too.
But, I'm not more angry. You mistake facing reality openly with anger. The five steps of dealing with tragedy are Denial--Anger--Bargaining--Depression--Acceptance. I am in the Depression/Acceptance stages, not the Anger stage. The people who stormed the Capitol Building are in the Anger stage. Most here in the Open are still in Denial...which is why the event was so shocking to them. But any student of history knows that the US is not a magical entity, and know that it is subject to the normal laws of politics and that it won't last forever. Those in shock have not yet placed the event in the proper context of history.
I'm not angry. I just disappointed. There is a big difference.
