I let everyone on Facebook know where I stand, and supposedly I have thousands of "reads," but nobody offers to follow my lead, or even seems to care. If there is an invisible army out there, I don't know how to raise it?
Social media is basically a passive activity. Any sort of action for Libertyists is going to require activity in meat space, so you have to do things in meat space. For example, you're going to have to have more people running for elected office in their townships. You'll need people to volunteer with the local GOP or DNC chapter and fill those vacancies. I'm planning on becoming Mayor of the new town I'm moving to, but I've got to start from the bottom.
I've been doing that for the past dozen years. Almost everyone I know is a Covidian; no one is willing to stand up for liberty.

I've said it before, people are still too comfortable. Once their guns and internet go away, then they may wake up.

That depends on where you live. Around here restaurants and bars are busy and NO ONE other than the staff wears masks. Even in places that have signs saying they are required, half the people don't wear them and no one is calling them on it, not even employees.

This forum is a perfect example:

We are one of the very few places where someone can talk about these things without being drown out by the opposition yet no one joins, and even the people who I thought were on our side don't post here. I have NO INDICATION there is any kind of pent-up opposition just waiting for some way to act.

Maybe it's your area? When I'm outside of the college town I work in, I hardly see a mask. The only ones who wear them are old people.

What really scares/surprises me is how quiet everyone is about the capitol being walled off and surrounded by thousands of troops and barbed wire for weeks now and with no end in sight. First they were just there for the inauguration, then the impeachment. Both of those have passed and now I read they may be there until 2022. That is NOT normal.

I hate to mention "if Trump did this", but can you imagine the media and Democrat outrage if Trump had done this?

I think the liberty movement is getting grassroots support by people fed up with the Corona panic. Any liberty movement will take root outside of major cities. It will take root in rural localities until it has the broad numbers to bully hysterical libs into complying.

The GOP/DNC establishment is united in it's effort to undermine this. They do this by setting up controlled opposition. The Mitt Romneys of the world.

I used Covidian as an example; there is no greater indicator of authoritarianism than masks & Lockdowns, so that should have pushed the mice out of the basement if I just gave them a room to come into, but nothing... It's all TDS, denial that it's a war between men & women, and scantimony about the Shamdemic.

If the Democrats are smart they will continue to slow boil us. Most people won't even realize what is happening until most of our liberties are gone. By then the opposition will be too weak to win a fight to regain those liberties.

The best hope for us and liberty is that they go too far, too fast and wake up the masses. Not wake them up to where they see what is happening, but wake them to the point where their instincts for survival kick in.

Communism lasted until they couldn't bake enough bread. They killed 10s of millions with no "kick in."
