    Hello, long time political lurker

    Hello,

    Nice to be here.

    I have been lurking on political forums for some time now.

    I hope to be able to add to the discussions in a useful way, and keep my cool at the same time. We will see how that goes, patience is in short supply with me these days lol.

    The older I get, the more I care about the state of things in the USA.

    Typical right?

    When I was young I didn't give 2 you know what's about politics, politicians, government, military, or cops especially. (still have a love/hate relationship with the last two)

    Now that I am older, (and somewhat wiser lol) I clearly see one side wants to preserve the way of life I grew up with, and keep the United States of America the Greatest Country on Earth.

    Then there is the other side, that wants to destroy that way of life, me, my family, and our country, to remake it into some kind of third world hell hole where no one speaks the same language (or the right one, English), and we are left to fight each other for scraps while they steal from us, abuse us, and murder us with impunity.

    Not on my watch, nor yours I hope!

    I am The Sleeping Giant.

    Feels fairly nice in here so far.

    It seems free expression is tolerated a lot here, on both sides.

    This is a good thing, as honest communication is required to reach clear understanding, and to confirm agreement, or disagreement, and ultimately compatibility, or incompatibility.

    Thank you.

    It is good to have neighbors that share similar ideology in what is left of Virginia, especially in our neck of the woods.

    Sounds like you will fit right in. I don't know many people that are the same as they were, when they were kids.

    Thank you.

    In time, we must all grow up.

    It seems some did not get the memo.

    I bet they would if it came on Amazon Prime lol.
