Most of what is known in some quarters as the Anglosphere is pretty docile these days. With the exception of the Irish, most English-speaking countries have never had to really fight for anything. The Limeys fought the Normans, the Romans, and the Germans. The rest had their liberty handed to them. Maybe that's why all these "advanced" socialist countries of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have no problem knuckling under to their betters. Perhaps generations of Sir Paulie and Lady Vinnie have inculcated in them the idea that they should listen to those placed above them.
The story is told about a ranch foreman in the 1880s who was asked where the owner was by an English visitor, "Is your master at home?", to which the foreman snapped, "The SOB hasn't been born yet".
We do not knuckle under easily. We do believe in doing things right and it does take a lot to get us mad. When in the course of human events that does happen, we do tend to go in hard. Then you have a problem on your hands.
The past year or so we've seen a lot imposed upon us, much of which most people didn't know existed. Now that they know it, they're not going to sit still. Some here may remember my post on the American Western this time last year. It's sort of the same thing. The man in the school board who says, "Now just a doggone minute here"; the woman horrified when her daughter asks if she's a racist because that's what she was told. People finding out the level of corruption in the last election (not to mention this one). People who were raised to trust the FBI, FDA, CDC, and all the agencies that are supposed to protect us, but learn they lie and put Americans in jail in defiance of the Constitution or lie to us because they're power-mad.
We didn't start fighting back Tuesday. We've been fighting back since we found out the election audits uncovered evidence crooked judges dismissed out of hand. We've been fighting back since we found out that stolen election last year installed the worst crew of crooked incompetent crypto-Communists this country has seen since the 30s. We've been fighting back since we saw prices go through the roof because of policies that we knew didn't work. We've been fighting back since we were told the gauleiters in DC's "patience was wearing thin" because we refused to get a shot of a lethal vaccine.
We fought back with Buck Fiden and Brandon. We used our rights and our votes to throw out the scum that conspired with foreign governments (and, yes, it all does come back to that) to steal our votes and our livelihoods.
Any time I hear somebody talk or write about elites, my attitude is they must mean Camp Darby at Fort Benning or NAB at Coronado. The assorted crime families of the Democrat party and the faculty lounge types are not elite. Nor their fellow travelers in corporate America.
No more than the lords and sirs 245 years ago when we decided we weren't putting up with it any more.
No taxation without representation sounds as sweet today as it did back then.
Keep fighting. It's the American thing to do.
