Hoover was a star-studded patriot compared to what we have now.
The Demoncrats have several fundraising groups that are focused on "local action", GoFundme is run by Leftists as well.
Conservatives/Republicans could do the same things but they are more stingy with their money.
By 'Local action" you mean domestic Terrorism. Or at least... they do. From blowing labs at Wisconsin and setting off explosives in the capitol... to robbing banks (Symbianese Liberation Army among others) to assassinating people and running off to Cuba to hide... to looting and burning businesses. Attacking people while they eat. Threatening judges. Rigging elections with thousands of faked ballots.
You meant those kinds of local actions? Because last I saw, none of them have cleaned up a park, built a library, run druggies out of their projects, provided opportunities for kids to get ahead and into college, painted an old folks home, helped little old ladies with groceries... I see that sort of thing being done by religious organizations.
Every time I see 'community action' what I am really reading is point blank, unequivocal terrorism and efforts to undermine our republic.
People who 'sit on their asses' are the ones who have faith that our system can work. And we will continue to have that faith. Until the system completely breaks, leading to utter lack of law and order. Then there are lots of people who will be really angry about what happened to their wonderful republic. Guided by the Constitution and Natural Laws... setting things right. And doing so knowing that there are no rules when it comes to cleaning the stables.
Oh and Juan... execution for domestic terrorism? Hell yes. This is not 'kids burning a mere building' Any more than 911 was 'some people did some things.' It is terrorism. It is using mob rule, violence and weapons to inflict terror on a community. And before you get all "White supremacist" on me... if it had been up to me back in the '60's, I'd have put the Klukkers who were lynching people and burying kids in levees... in the chair and BBQ'd the living shit out of them right on the fucking spot. Because they were terrorists, pure and simple.
We have so many ways to achieve change in the U.S. of. A. But when the left realizes that their ideas are not popular... their method is to use a tiny few zealots to cow a whole population. National Socialists, Bolshies, Maoists... all started with tiny cadres who used violence and propaganda to subjegate. Don't like how an election comes out? Keep calling new elections until you can load the ballot box, 'win' and declare a mandate. Then move to the next thing. Scream out that you want ridiculous stuff... and if noone wants your drag queen shit... scream "Racism." Don't like how our immigration system works? Suck in millions of illegals and then claim anyone who wants 'legal' immigration and a rational system... racists and bigots.
Community Action. 99 percent of it is point blank, pure and simple terrorism. No matter what the braying media or glowie plants want to try and brand it. Oh yeah... "Mostly peaceful protests." "Poor migrants." "Democratic Socialists." Yeah, all euphamisms. Another Orwellian term which he called 'Newspeak."
So sit around on the sofa. Yup. Tens of millions of Americans are sitting on the sofa. Legally. Honorably. Peacefully. And seething. The crazy ones are hoping for an opportunity to go all John Wick. The sane ones are hoping that the system will work as envisioned.
However it turns out... it's not going to be good for the freaks. Because even if they get their Commie Wonderland... the first thing that the commies do is kill off everyone who stands out. So go all drag queen. Go all "Look at me." But remember the old Japanese saying: "The nail that sticks up will be the first pounded down."
This group of little wizards 'may' have made the mistake of assuming that they had Uncle Glowie from the Feds watching over them when they assembled into a violent mob and burned a public building. But if they are on state charges in a red state that doesn't historically like Yankee Agitators... then they are about to learn that committing terrorist acts in Georgia has real consequences. Sadly, these won't include the needle. Because if I could push a button and release the blue juice, I'd be hitting the 'inject button' like a Type-A Retard banging the Door-Close button on an elevator.
But since that's not in the cards, I'll just peacefully sit here looking forward to the pendulum swinging. It always does, you know.
