Click HERE to learn the ONE THING you can do to save our country (no, it's not a real link)
The guys from Marketing might want to sell you on the idea of The One Thing, but in the real world, it don't exist. Everything is intertwingled.

As tw said upstream, t-shirts and ballcaps are a symbol that you are not alone in your discontent. Suppressing dissent is an ongoing job for any authoritarian regime. One way is to scoop up dissidents and toss them in the gulag. But as the STASI found in East Germany, it is simpler to make sure that nobody speaks up, you never hear it in the media, or the cafeteria at work. It is just you.

Back when the pandemic was booting up, our governor, the Mitten Queen, was issuing a bunch of problematic proclamations. The local county sheriffs took a stand and said they would not enforce these rules. Suddenly, you started seeing yard signs saying "Thank you Sheriff for standing up for our rights". Just a few of them at first, here and there. Then suddenly, they were all over the place. And the governor backed off.

Rebellion needs to reach a critical mass. If everyone thinks they are alone, it never happens.

Of course. But they do show others they’re not alone.

#1  T-shirts: funny. Hats are nice.

But we're up against the full force of the Woke State. They have the Justice Department. They now control the Armed Forces, the Security Agencies, the Tech Oligarchies that control over half of the news flow in this country and the legacy media orgs that control 90% of the rest.

They dominate nearly every major city in this country and are inprocess of turning them into ungoverned violent hellholes.

They've made our corporations into Marxist re-education camps and invaded our kids' classrooms and bathrooms with their deoraved idiocy.

They've opened the border to literally millions of illegals -- many of them illiterate, tens of thousands of unvetted Afghan Muslims, and god knows how many violent or disease-bearing subversives.

T-Shirts and ballcaps are not going to save us now.
