I think it's important to keep up with what's happening, even if sometimes it means you are stuck watching with your hands tied.
Also don't forget to take time to not read what's happening and clear your head. Take a walk, read a book, play a sport, shoot a gun, play a game, watch a video. Anything that you enjoy and helps keep your head up. Do physical activity and eat well. If this process is going to be as rough as many of us think, then it's super important to not let them demoralize us. That is their goal, to get you to give up and submit willingly Even if all of this is made up larping, keeping your mental and physical health in shape is not ever really bad.
the left makes loud mobs to cancel and dox people and make organized efforts to send emails and petitions and going undercover to infiltrate and take over everywhere etc. etc. Even if our politicians are not receptive to us, and the institutions and powers are against us (and yes its hard to do what they do when this is the case and social media is censoring us) but i wonder if the right is not being active enough.
Thanks for the advice though, You are correct about the keeping our mental and physical health in shape and to not allow demoralization
Yeah I do think the right should do more, I just don't have an idea what that "more" is yet. It's like how warfare changed in the 1700s, we can't expect to line up in the battlefield with firing lines and play by their rules and just shoot each other. We have to figure out "cultural guerilla warfare" and I'm not sure we have any idea on that yet.
Edit: Upon further thought, I think it might be the opposite. We can't expect them to line up in the battlefield and play by our rules. So we have to figure out how to not only defend against them but then take to the offensive.
Theyre around, or at least ones that aren't subverted by wokeism but you may have to look hard. Rip if you're not in flyover country.
Also there's people on YouTube. I'm officially Baptist but I'd recommend you look into the Eastern Orthodox people putting stuff on YouTube, they're generally not pozzed, unlike the western Church
Jonathan Pageau's decent, he's an icon crafter and while his vids aren't generally explicitly about Christian topics, he's thoroughly Christian and that comes out in the perspective he brings into vids and monthly Q&As. I'm liking Paul Vanderklay too
Start making plans for assuming worst case scenarios. Be sure to supply yourself with everything you need to survive in the case that infrastructure fails. Financially, stay away from large national-scale banks. Depending on your community, start asking questions to the leadership about the community's ability to act independently, because there is definitely a limit to the bullshit people will tolerate from the federal government.
You need to shift gears. Stop reacting to every little thing. Accept that the West is lost and that we're in it for the long haul now. Steel yourself and find allies in your local community.
Knowledge is always a good thing. Anyone who says otherwise is a con artist. Those who preach avoiding information are seeking ignorant prey to feast upon.
If you're overwhelmed, focus on smaller things. You can't do anything about the biggest rock in the quarry, but there are rocks you CAN move there. So find the biggest thing you can lift, and lift. Become a member of your community. Join the local merchants council or something similar if one exists in your area. Try to improve your community's sense of community. Fostering empathy is usually a good thing to do, since it is harder to break up a cohesive and empathetic community into its component parts to abuse and use, than one that is pre-broken by the media.
If that rock is still too big for you, focus smaller. Your direct neighbors, your family. Relationships require work: Work on them, on getting people to care about those around them again.
I just don't think that tying our hopes to the Republican party is a remotely good idea. It's a compromised entity.

Find a good Church and read scripture 'cause real evil is here.
There aren't any.
Unless you're willing to go mennonite, but frankly most people aren't.
Grab a Bible and start one then.
Or join one and get into leadership and make it one.
Or join one and start teaching a good class/small group.
Churches are always looking for volunteers, be a positive influence.

I'm too old to believe in fairy tales
Ah, well heaven and hell are real, and you'll be believing either way.
Make the good choice now, Christ died for you.
