Think about it, when humans are under stress, we've all heard about the fight or flight response. That is a response that comes out of being in survival mode. There's another aspect of that response that we forget about, and that's the freeze response. So when you're confronted. With some sort of trauma or some sort of stress, you actually have three potential responses.

This tells you how weak this administration is because they are engineering all sorts of chaos in the hopes that you are too overwhelmed to react. One of the things that we need to keep in mind as we encounter. This barrage of crap and chaos that the regime throws at us is that our response needs to be to fight. We need to take a page out of Churchill's book and be committed to fighting this regime in any and every way possible. Never surrendering, never backing down, and never retreating. That is what is going to be necessary for us to come through this. On the other side, they are banking.

If they want to drive a Second American Revolution, one that is modeled after the Government and Society of Hungary or any other dictatorial regime, we cannot let that happen. This has gotta be a fight on all fronts in whatever ways and means that we can think of, and it needs to be relentless in opposition to everything that they want to do.

Don't let them psych you out and make you freeze and have you be demoralized, understand what's at stake, and be prepared to fight and push forward.
