My High School Teacher's reason to vote Biden:

[occupied]

The refrain of the most entitled and pampered generation of humans who ever lived, the American baby boomer. They grew up in almost unimaginable abundance and opportunity and are now trying to take America with them when they go. They cry about everything changing but never did a damned thing to insure that anyone that came after them had anything more than a lousy plutocracy, a polluted depleted planet and a pile of unpaid bills.

STFU.............in that generation we didn't bow down to a dang bug.......and destroy the nation over it...........

And we didn't go HURRAY for a bunch of losers looters burning the country down.........Bunch of Losers who are nothing more than Terrorists.

You bowed down to hyper-consumerism and acted as if would last forever. Now that the bill is due for the twentieth century you're acting as if someone else fucked the world.

So, the last few days of work, I've been posting here and making threads on USMB about the communist insurrection.

I started to wonder...am I seeing too much right wing news sources and losing my mind? Or I am correct in my assessment that the antifa communists are seeking to overthrow the Republic?

Who better to turn to, then my high school mentor who taught my the value of Federalism and the Second Amendment...what he/she said...shocked me...

"Ed, the far left already won...they won a long time ago...I didn't know it then, but I know it now. Perhaps there's hope in some of the deep red states, but I do not think they will be able to resist the larger and ever hungry urban masses.

...

If Trump wins...they'll never stop (referencing the far-left), there will be bloodshed and death on a scale you've never seen...they waited...they waited til the last patriotic generation, my generation, got too old to fight...the donned their masks and donned them well and now they've taken them off. But the people of your generation (born 1990's) and the current (2000's) have been spoonfed and programmed...and the few of them that believe in America don't have the courage to fight...and the very few that will fight... shall perish in vain.

It cannot be won.

Move on. Forget it. Save yourself...change your tune while you still can. The American Experiment is over. May she rest in peace."


He/she then went on to berate my for my felony conviction like a good old dad/mom lol.

But still, whether he/she right or wrong in his/her assessment, it chilled me to the core.

Myself? I am fucking sick and tired of this breed of defeatist attitude among conservatives, this willingness to surrender for destruction the two and a half centuries of our nation's life and to lay down at the feet of psycho leftists and await slaughter.

The more I think about it, the more I know he/she is right.

AG Barr is postponing indictments of the Deep State coup on purpose, because he's privately banking on a Biden victory, where the charges will fizzle into nothingness.

That video the former Trump aide just made, "How America fell in 4 months from the COVID hype" shows me how soft and gullible/scared most people are.

I'm pretty sure RNA altering COVID vaccines will be mandatory to return to work or school. They can't force to take them vaccine, but they can force you to live homeless if you don't.

Twitter just censored our President...nothing happened.

Cities burn...

Mail-in ballots will secure a Biden victory. If Trump contests the results, their will be a full blown civil war involving polarized factions within our military, far left scum and foreign hostile nations.

The majority of white people in my generation are virtue signaling and taking a knee, I see it from my friends on facebook. They think it's about BLM, when they've been hoodwinked. That video of the two boys screaming "We're on your side," while the black mobs and white commies tossed bricks through their window.

Democrat mayors and governors allowed a "summer of peace" in CHAZ.

Police departments are being abolished and officers are being murdered and humiliated with impunity. Even Trump can't stop it.

It's over.

GG

And now we get to laugh as the feral animals eat themselves over who gets the power and Bling. That won't take long, and then the assorted illegal aliens and probably foreign troops move in, and the survivors get assigned to their respective factories, farms, and cadre positions. We know our own police and military are only going to work for whoever signs their paychecks, so we can't expect any assistance from them.

I just can't wait to say "I told you so," to all these liberal morons when they lament their communist chains. Most liberals are actually good people, and their masters take advantage of it. It's sad.

Only experience will teach them, but they wont be any hope in the immediate future of overturning the communists. Communist regimes (historically) stay in power for decades before they collapse (usually internally).

Consumerism is... people buying what they want? This how all economies work. Of course it would last forever, if you didn't damage it with government regulations, taxes, and controls.

Every single economy in the world that grows.... grows because of consumerism.

What the heck are you even talking about!?! Name one growing prosperous economy that in not built with consumerism?

What bill is due? There is only one bill due, and that is the bill of socialism. Medicare is socialism. Social Security, is socialism. If neither of those existed, there would be no bill due. We would have no national debt.

People seem to point to every single problem caused by socialism, blame it on capitalism, or "consumerism", and act like you made a point. No... you didn't.

Every single person that exists, is a consumer. This is universal across the world. The only difference between "consumerism" and co-called "Hyper consumerism" is that our country has more wealthy people, because of capitalism, and thus...... *GASP* can consumer more!

Crying about hyper consumerism is essentially saying "I want fewer wealthy people, and more poor people". Well that is a dumb argument.

I don't think it is too late. But this is exactly what I find so depressing about Trump. He's giving conservatism (at least as represented by the Republican party) such a bad name that it may never recover. I can't vote for Biden, but I won't vote for Trump, and I sincerely hope he is removed from office this fall.

Without exposing my teacher's identity, all I can say, if this person never voted Democrat before and led some students into the light of Constitutional Conservatism.

If I'm not mistaken, his/her job could be at risk in these trying political times, especially in New York, if his/her identify was made known. thus I'm not giving any more information on that topic. Just know, this person was never a Democrat and seems cowed...without the energy he/she used to have for the American Experiment.

That's another topic he/she touched on but in a different manner:

"If there was somewhere we could go (I assume he/she implied a strong constitutionalist republic first world nation)...I'd go and live there, and take my story there as a warning, like Paul Revere, and have those people fortify their borders and steady their minds...but there's no place like the United States...there never has been and there never will be...our experiment, the Miracle in Philadelpia, was a miracle truly, but this historically oddity will not endure...it can't endure, because our experiment (American Experiment) defied all odds...We were the Light of the World, the Beacon of Classical Liberalism, the City on the Hill that the peoples of the world aspired to...and the malevolent powers at be since this our countries inception...until it's final breathe, the breathe it now draws...have also sought our destruction, to dim our light and reduce the world back to the times of feudalism and royalty, where the rights of men are not ordained by the Creator, but privileges extended by the unelected few...alas we could not hold out forever, as the urban masses will devour the rural resistances...so have the despotic hordes finally devoured the soul of our nation. We were an oddity that could not be allowed to succeed and enlighten and give hope to the world."

It's not exactly word to word, but it's pretty close.

Where the hell were you back when it would have made a difference? Probably calling someone a commie that hates capitalism.

This is what a typical bourgeois Burb Brat would whine about, since all the school systems did was work on your 'sefl-esteem' while leaving you a halfwit with no critical thinking skills.

Nice piece. Now what do you plan to do with it? In order to be effective in battle, in order to survive five minutes beyond the first shot, any self-proclaimed or tasked designated defensive or offensive marksman or battlefield assassin (sniper) must have in place around him a highly effective support system in the form of spotter(s), security, a rapid reaction force, a supply chain, air and ground support and on and on. You fire that rifle at the "enemy" without support and they will chew you up within minutes.

The enemy being who ???? Who supports or will be supporting the enemy if one exist as an organized militia type or new radical group in America ???

Yes an organized militia or radical group whether friendly or foe, otherwise if exist in America now, has to have a support system, and so is that support system determined by election's or not ???

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
