I saw this.  Tucker Carlson's has been very outspoken and truthful with his program lately.  It is true that the Republican leadership seems to be sitting back and doing nothing.  It is not just the leadership who need to do something, but the people as well.  My question is, how do we make a positive impact?    What can we do as citizens who want a peaceful, non-violent country with police, EMT, and firefighters who have the primary awesome role of keeping us safe.  I have asked this question often in the last few weeks.  Our country is spriraling out of control.

Sallie, if you have any thoughts,  I would be interested in hearing them...

Tonight I looked out my front window and saw that one of our neighbors had put two Trump-Pence signs in his front yard. I cannot tell you how much that encouraged me. He did not do that during the last election. I don't think he's ever put out signs before in the nine years we've lived here.

It might seem like little things don't matter, but they do. The cumulative impact of millions of people making small choices is significant. NIKE didn't lose $790 million dollars in the fourth quarter because one huge thing went wrong. They lost it because many things went wrong and many individual people made choices to not buy from them. 

If we have a Republican representing us, we need to be calling and sending emails to encourage him/her to do what needs to be done. Put pressure on him/her.

We need to speak up. On social media, in real life, etc. Push back. There are so many people who are afraid to speak up. They need someone else to do so.

One of the reasons I do this forum is so people know they aren't alone. I'm giving people articles, arguments, facts, etc. that they can use in discussions.

Tell people about this forum so they can find the information for themselves.

Close accounts you don't need - Facebook, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, Twitter, Reddit, ESPN, Instagram, etc. Anything you can do to push back and starve these companies financially.

When you go to a news site or website that IS helpful, make sure you have your ad blocker turned off. They need the money and we need them as  alternative sources of information. 

Don't give money to organizations that are peddling a false narrative. I refuse to visit any sports related anything. Sports is dead to me. I had an account on a sports discussion board for probably fifteen years. I had it completely deleted a few weeks ago.

As often as possible, I refuse to spend money on anything from a company pushing the woke narrative. I can't stop using every company that pushes an agenda I don't agree with. But I've pulled my support, clicks, visits, purchases, etc. from as many as I can.

I've unsubscribed from groups, organizations, newsletters, etc. that have gone woke and I've politely and clearly told them why.

None of these are earthshattering if I'm the only one doing it. But I'm not. There are so many people who are.

And pray. I pray for the truth to be revealed and for those who deliberately and maliciously choose to do wrong to suffer the consequences of their actions. I pray that God will give wisdom and protection to those trying to do right.

I pray for another Great Awakening and that the Holy Spirit will move in such a way that it will be obvious. Not in a fake, manufactured way but undeniably of the Holy Spirit.

This is a spiritual battle. This isn't just differences in policy matters. We're way beyond that.

• @sallie thanks!  You put it so well.  Makes total sense!  I am off a lot of those sites already, but do need to take care of my ad blocker and email my representatives.
