Are there any protests or public actions that are being taken? has anything been organized?
Lets march en masse to show our voice.
Well... here’s the thing:
We all know Trudeau made this announcement as a diversion from his scandals, right? We can agree on that? Commentators from both sides of the fence have said as much. In the midst of his scandals, he threw a big “hey look over here” hand grenade into the room.
So with EVERY action we take, we need to ask ourselves:
“Are we playing right into his hands?”
What kind of effect will marching in the streets have on the election? Because for the next 4 weeks, the election is all that matters. Ousting Trudeau is plan A. And plans B through Z have to be carefully weighed to ensure they won’t interfere with plan A.
Any action like a march (in my opinion) is going to be heavily painted by the media. It’s going to be framed as “those alt-right, gun lovin’ conservatives with their cold, dead hands. This is where a blue vote will take you folks: Rednecks marching in the street! Trump 2.0! Republicans! Ford! Scary scary. And look over here, more free stuff from the liberals!”
If the election is all that matters for the next 4 weeks, I just can’t see how any public display, where the media will be our voice is going to help move votes in our direction. And we need a LOT of votes moved in our direction.
The only votes we’re going to pick up by focusing on the gun ban, is gun owners. Anything beyond that will be spun against us, and used against us. Gun owners marching in the street will be used by the liberals to unify the left to prevent a conservative win.
Because when that reporter walks into the march to get comments, who’s comments do you think they’re gonna play on the 6 O’clock news? Yours? Or this guy’s:
Time just to form militias / organized and ready to rock and roll , 1/2 measures are over
Let’s not be the tools of the liberal party. Don’t play us right into his hands. Focus on the issues that will move votes. And in this case, it’s scandal, hypocrisy, elitism, and all the other dirty deeds he’s been up to.
My $0.02.
We can look at the other stuff on the 22nd.
