26. You are right on all counts

Republicans are NOT just going to roll over and allow themselves to be exposed publicly for what we all know among ourselves, namely: they are traitors.
Those who voted for this tyranny knew exactly what they were doing. They voted to subjugate those who disagree or to go to war with them if the same would not bend the knee. I for one refuse!
Finally, there are those on our side, perhaps the most dangerous of the bunch, who remain in denial, who think our savior is merely an election away. I actually have sympathy for these folks as they will be turned because they right now have not the fortitude to handle what is actually happening and place their hope in mirages instead of in themselves and their ability to do what needs to be done.

Our only ray of sunshine right now is that we have a tool to fight with, namely the House. We can not stop them with the House, but we can cripple them and expose them. With the House we can show many who are already reasonable people just what danger we face so they too can prepare and be ready for what is coming. Truth be told, government no longer has our solutions, only we the people do.
