Reposting from the Mens subforum:

I agree that the Media exaggerates the insanity of the Left, especially its numbers -- but there ARE some people with whom I CAN'T live in peace. Those who want America destroyed, turned into a Communist country, those who believe in man-made Climate Change and want to take drastic action to "prevent it", those who want abortion up to 9 months and beyond, those who don't believe in God, etc.

I don't know how many such people actually exist in America (1%? 5%? 10% 50%?) and we can debate that point. But anyone who is truly that far to the Left (as described above) is NOT my fellow citizen, wanting a good life in America "they just want a little bigger government that's all". We're not talking about Blue Dog Democrats, we're talking about GODLESS COMMUNISTS.

We're talking about those who are actual revolutionaries, who want to destroy WHAT IS LEFT of Christian Culture residue in America. The ones who chant, "No Border! No Wall! No USA at all!" The ones that are stoking race divisions in this country in preparation for a Communist and/or "color revolution". The ones working to take over the USA in an actual COUP. No coup like this -- coming to power with shady, underhanded tactics -- has ever resulted in a GOOD dictator coming to power with benign intentions! Just like if someone breaks into your house, they never end up just wanting to have a beer with you. They always have bad intentions, or they would just knock on the front door and enter legitimately.

What is going on in this election has all the markings of a coup. However bad Trump is, the side striving to seize power is obviously MUCH WORSE. And heaven help us if they successfully seize power!

I'm sorry, but there are no alarms going off with Trump at this time. That might come later, I'll acknowledge (it could turn out that we've all been deceived), but at this time "Evil Trump" is a purely hypothetical. With Biden it is a present reality. He is a known criminal, puppet and conspirator with godless Communist China.

The Left as I define it today, has gone over the edge, out of the zone of "legitimate opinion", into the hellish territory of anti-God, totalitarian Communism. They want to lock down MY freedoms, to prevent a fake virus or a fake man-made Climate Change to push for a world with only 300 million people (rather than the current 7+ billion).

There is no common ground with such people. I'm sorry.

If such people seize power in America, it's over. It's all over. No more peaceful world like we've had up to this point, including under (R) and (D) presidents. That is all history. Agenda 2030, Great Reset, 4th Industrial Revolution here we come. I'll wait while you Google that.

What must Catholics do at that point? Shouldn't they resist, even physically?

To quote patriotic Americans of earlier generations, "Better dead than red." and "The only good Communist is..."
And to quote Gen. Patton: "We fought the wrong side [in World War II]."

So, for example, if the health official come to take your neighbors children away for non vaccine compliance, then you need the entire neighborhood to rise up and prevent that from happening. If they come with a SWAT team of 10 men, then the neighborhood need to surround hem by the hundreds, preferably thousands. Now is our chance to learn from the mistakes of other who have had their countries taken over by communist revolutionaries and prevent that from happening now. But if you are willing and then no one else is willing, then prepare to run and regroup with other willing to take  stand or prepare to run and hide, or surrender or go it alone.

If you're afraid of actual fighting and dying, at least keep this in mind: There are many ways to resist and help the cause. Not everyone has what it takes to be a front-line soldier.

The world becomes a much bigger place -- harder to rule from 300 miles away (much less 3000) -- when there aren't a bunch of nice, smooth roads you can travel 80 MPH on.

Or when communication with the Tyrant in Power or the General leading the "roundup of civilians into cσncєnтrαтισn cαмρs" means sending a guy on a fast horse with a paper message. Just saying...

He with ears to hear, let him hear.
