    Setting back looking at the TGT big picture here's what get's revealed.

    As a group we don't seem to be able to agree on anything. We are so quick to chunk rocks at and tear down each other. We have(I just a picked number as an example don't sue me or shoot me or chunk me in prison if you don't agree with the number - make up your own) 50 folks wanting to go in 50 different directions. In a nutshell. We can't agree on where were going much less how we're gonna get there.

    By comparison, the hard core leftist know exactly where they're going and are in full agreement on how to get there. There is little to no dissent. That which there is will be quickly and fully destroyed. In a word they are unified.

    Spineless Republicans in congress are too frikken blind to see what Trump has proven over and over and over... again. The general population supports taking a stand. We realize we're dealing with a very loud, active and organized - minority. But nope... what could be vaporizes in a cloud of "Man... I sure don't wanna lose my seat in congress over this..." This board, TGT, very much resembles Congress.

    I look at it like on the left 50 people and one brain. On TGT 50 people and 50 brains. Sure there is going to be disagreements when people actually think for themselves. BUT give us a project to benefit someone deserving and we line up like ducks. Remember the AR project or the young lady needing a bit of help to get started in competitive shooting.

    We're due an update on those BTW.

    No disrespect, but a view thoroughly warped by bits and bytes on a screen??

    Try "face to face" and you'll get an entirely different picture, especially if you need someone to have your 6.

    Just saying ...

    Doesn't matter if it started yesterday, years ago or centuries ago. What matters is it "IS".

    As an aside.... I fully agree with your #1. #2... not so much.

    You can disagree with 2 all you want. Doesn’t make it untrue.

    Gunz are icky.
    Ok. I’ll bite.
    Just what, exactly, are we supposed to unite against?
    How am I to do that?
    If I rage it doesn’t accomplish shit.
    If I literally fix bayonets the moment I walk out of the house I’ll get: pick one.
    1.) laughed at, Ridiculed, and doxed.
    2.) killed by the police.
    3.) Actually manage to skewer a commie bastard. Then I get to spend my life in jail losing everything I’ve spent my life earning. Family goes homeless.

    Sarcasm alert....

    I must disagree. We do not have 50 folks wanting to go in 50 different directions.

    We have 50 folks wanting to go in 52 different directions.

    /sarcasm

    In truth, I believe (others may disagree) that 90% of the people on this board share a set of common values. The details vary, but at the core I think we have much in common.

    To be fair, I disagree with everybody! "Seems" to me that when we get new posters, the "disagreement factor" goes up. New folks (not all) get on here and immediately begin complaining about the way members should respond. My theory is, ..... if a new member of the forum starts complaining about the forum ........ well, one can leave as quickly as one can stay. Y'all have a glorious day! :banana:

    Most importantly they are well financed. And it's pretty easy to stick to an agenda that basically paints everyone but them as being racist. The message is simple and has worked for decades.

    What do folks like us generally do?
    1. We vote
    2. We encourage others to vote
    3. Some of engage others in discussions trying to help the liberals see sense
    4. Some of us contribute financially to the best available candidate
    5. Some of us call/email government officials
    In all seriousness, what else can we do?

    Take to the street in protests is one thing. We conservatives tend not to do this. Why? Working. Things to do. Too lazy.

    What else should we be doing, Doug? I am genuinely interested in other ideas.

    I think too many of us (myself included) complain, take some measures, but we really may not be fighting this slide down the slippery slope as much as we could.

    No two people are going to think alike on everything. They may agree on somethings, an disagree on other things.

    Kind of what makes life and forums rather interesting. Seeing other viewpoints. Kind of what makes this a great country. Ain't freedom great!

    On another forum years ago, occasionally we would get quite a few new members at various times. We called it an "Influx of Idiots" coming in!

    For 8 years, all they said was, we don’t have control, a majority, bla frigging bla, well, they got it in 2017. I really thought the HPA had a real chance, and magically like clockwork, Vegas shooting, Shrillary “imagine if he had a silencer!” Done. HPA shelved. Bye bye. So what was the next hill to die on? Abortion. Really? Who’s aborting babies? The left, I don’t see where abortion has to be priority 1. And they lost in 2018 because of it. On purpose I believe. They don’t WANT to fix it.

    Weren’t they preaching fiscal responsibility and lowering the burden to taxpayers? They lowered the tax rate and double dog dared tripled down on the debt.

    And when it’s finally broken? When we have nothing to lose? Well, that oughta be a bit interesting.
