I've been preparing for this since I got back from Afghanistan in late 2002. After what I saw over there, I knew something would be coming eventually. And now, we're here. I may be a senior citizen but I can still shoot straight, and I've already been through the school of hard knocks. Getting another wound won't change anything for me. Just minus the purple heart this time if I get hurt again.
The last time this movie was played, the Americans were the good guys. Now, we're the villains.
“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to, and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
The left, not the center-right, liberals who don't know left from right, but the genuine left, have known the only option is violence and have been waiting for mass public awareness for decades.
The 20th-century government attacks on the left weakened it, and the Trump Administration intends to destroy the marginalized remains, but no organized Antifa super soldier squad exists. We wouldn't be in this mess if a strong leftist movement existed.
Los Angeles and a few other cities have established a rough outline of an organized resistance movement, willing to put themselves at risk to protect their communities. Unfortunately, Liberals marched peacefully and pointlessly to demonstrate their dislike for Trump instead of joining the resistance, proactively stopping ICE from detaining people.
Perhaps they're hoping a Democrat will win the next election, allowing them to pretend all is wonderful in the empire and continue with business as usual, because their lives remain comfortable (aside from the unsightly societal collapse that sleeps in parks and on sidewalks).
We aren't moral or immoral; we're adaptable, and our environment influences our behavior. Unfortunately, we created a psychopath's greedy paradise and behave like savages.

I've seen this movie before. My Dad was drafted and sent to Germany in 1944. I'm trying to prepare myself as best as I can as a senior citizen.

Great quote and truer now than ever.

“A psychopaths greedy paradise “ is a great phrase. As usual an astute observation.
