    I'm starting to think that anything that involves stepping out of your front door can be labeled an insurrection. And even if it doesn't go that far, any gathering is subject to mob attacks whether spontaneous or agitated by deep state operatives.

    What about another tactic entirely:

    Choose narrow specific targets for mass boycotts? Preferably the targets would be related to the issue under protest. Or maybe more practically, something easily measurable and noticeable like "Drop Disney+ and Apple+ and Hulu for two months" or "Buy no avocados or almonds for three months" or "Do not buy Idaho potatoes for 6 months, only in-State potatoes."

    A drop of even 5% would go a long way toward eliciting a response. A 15% drop would send Congress scurrying into session.

    The mass boycotts have definitely worked well, look what happened to Budweiser beer when patriots boycotted what was probably the most well-known redneck beer of all time. It has also worked with the Disney channel because of the transgender stuff they are now putting out, and Disney has had to close some of their buildings, from what i read.
    This is something that we can all definitely do, and not get arrested for !

    So far I have not seen any information on Twitter or elsewhere that the FBI is sending their fake-patriot guys to the Texas border; but that could definitely still happen, and the Libs would all think that they were real, just like always.

    Yeah, and now there is publicly-accessible "AI" out there that can alter images to spec or gin them up out of whole cloth from a description of requirements.

    If the government pisses off the public enough, there will be a public reaction. It's how the country was founded in the first place by "we the people". If you remember the Cosby show, Cliff Huxtable would say to his misbehaving son, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out".

    I don't know. I'd like to think that, and it may be true, but after decades of indoctrination, I am afraid that the American people don't have what it takes anymore, particularly when the government, the media, and big business are all wrapped up into one package, and when the American people have been trained to look to these same entities for the expert opinions that have now taken the place of individual thought processes.

    People are pretty much cowed by now, I agree.

    Even the gun enthusiasts at the extreme end are hopeless. Cut off one head and two spring up to replace it.

    That's what prompted my boycott suggestion. Consumerism is the beast's life blood.

    LOL, this is the perfect example, and yes, if "we the people" get pissed enough we'll take them out. We used to have a whole country willing to fight, maybe a few cowards hiding in their basements or just the free-riders, but it's hard to see our military depleted not just because of "defunding" them, but because we have only a portion of young people willing to enter into the military. Those that do are already heros in my book. And the other thing is sending them off to other countries when we need them right here at home.

    This country has been purposely left open to attacks from our enemies. I'm surprised we haven't been attacked, and like why not?? It's obvious we have no leadership in power anyway. Really the worst part is how in the heck some of us can find what is really going on thanks to all sort of fake info (news, pictures, false articles, and false statements from people who are perfect liars). None of us are actually there, some probably live close enough to hear something or see something in person, who knows :(

    I didn;t think so but maybe the border is a distraction in the eyes of the administration.
    I follow this guy. He is alerting us that we are actually moving nuclear arsenal to England.
    If we don't get Trump elected I think we are toast. And even then, maybe we are finished.

    I heard on the news lastnight that Iran was close to getting it's hands on nuclear weapons?? You're telling me they don't already have them? If I had to guess, I'd say they probably do.

    One thing I believe 100% is that the present "government" will twist it all into something that helps them look better, while they are really screwing over America

    Anyone know why we didn't see anything of The People's Convoy?? Were they not allowed to do a broadcast? Did they arrive in Texas? I'm just wondering what the heck is going on?

    Maybe they've just not made it to Texas yet but why isn't anyone covering this?

    Thanks Bobby!! I guess I failed to check again, I figured I would see something each time I was sitting at my PC. I guess it isn't big news, but I sure appreciate the video. Maybe find more with that news station :)

    I don't know where they got the number of 77k trucks expected. No where near that. There are many but not so many 18 wheelers and a lot of cars and pick ups. Apparently at one stop, some tires were slashed. This is just supposed to be a peaceful demonstration but we have seen how they go sometimes.

    I think this has turned out to be a nothing-burger. I remember seeing someone's post about "700,000 vehicles." Um, no. Also, there was some fake video that was of another convoy a few years ago. You can't trust photos nor videos these days.
