Tyranny can not be stopped by peaceful means. Our founding fathers found that out. They tried every "peaceful" and legal means available to seek redress and their guaranteed rights from the English crown; only to have the tyrant nullify all of their rights and station troops within their own houses. That is why they enshrined the 2nd amendment in the constitution. They knew from experience that the only thing tyrants respect is force.
In the entire 100+ year history of Marxist regimes; no Marxist revolutionary government (which is what the democrats now are) has ever allowed itself to be voted out of Office, challenged by legitimate elections, or even allowed fair elections to see if the people support them.
Marxist do not respect the ballot box since they do not believe the peop0le have any right to disagree with them. They do not respect the courts because they recognize no law except the party. They do not engage in debate or try to win hearts and minds since they are tyrants and no one is allowed to disagree with them on even a single point. They are always violent because they have no respect for human rights and anyone who disagrees with them is a traitor in their mind. Their total rejection of all morality and ethics leads them to seek to destroy all civilization and culture.
Until our side realizes these things and FIGHTS WITH OVERWHELMING LETHAL FORCE, the Marxists will continue to destroy this nation. Both BLM and ANTIFA have repeatedly and openly declared they ARE FIGHTING AN ACTIVE CIVIL WAR TO DESTROY THE CONSTITUTION AND REPUBLIC. Do you really think that peaceful protests are going to combat arson, looting, terrorism, murder?
