I don't really look at it as "my country" anymore. The country I live in allows the government to shut down the nation for a year for a virus slightly more deadly than the seasonal flu. The country that my ancestors founded shot British soldiers in the face for much less. So clearly they are not the same.

You could also make the argument that the country fundamentally changed with Wickard v. Filburn in 1942, the Civil Rights Act in 1964, and Hart Cellar in 1965. Which would put us at v5 at least.

I don't even consider myself a Washingtonian because they're all wearing masks when even our jackass governor tells them they don't need to. I identify with my immediate community who through this whole thing has acted sanely. Once I leave my road I'm in foreign territory.

Hah! Same shit in Jersey. A sheriff at the DMV still barked at me to. Mask up and sanitize my hands and keep distance despite allowing everyone to hoard outside the door and around the building.

I was outside for hours in a crowded line but once we got through the doors PUT YOUR MASK ON. SANITIZE TOUR HANDS, STAND 6 FEET APART

I know the feeling.

The feeling that country you grandfather fought for, your father lived in, and you grew up in, is dead, and has been for years. It's a horrible feeling.

I guess it’s time to move on then, right? How long do we mourn and lament for something that doesn’t exist anymore? The Roman Empire was impressive at its height; we don’t sit around lamenting it doesn’t exist anymore. It’s a pointless waste of time and energy.

Full disclosure: I’ve done plenty of mourning since the election, and especially since January 6th... I think it’s time to move on.

So I guess the question is, what does moving on look like?

The Roman Empire was impressive at its height; we don’t sit around lamenting it doesn’t exist anymore.

Bad news: European scholars spent about 800 years lamenting the fall of rome before the continent got back on track.

I'm leaning to agree with you but let's see what the audits bring and what happens. We may either have a huge win, or enough grounds to make a big win.

Stack some precious metals, stock up on ammo, and get in shape if you are not.

In the absolute best case the audits show Trump won, and everyone says "huh interesting, but the Electoral College vote is what matters; and that vote was certified for Biden. Too bad we didn't catch this in time wink wink"

My country, my Britain, is in a similar (if not worse) position in terms of cultural problems and an elite that's been driven mad by globalism. It is disheartening.

But Britain is my country, warts and all. And as a patriot who would see her return to her rightful place in this world, I don't have the luxury of giving up on her.
