I'm pessimistic about being able to get the invaders out. I expect to be martyred in my lifetime. And I'm pretty old.

I watched it on Saturday night. As for being poorly made, it reminded me of a saying a friend had when describing a particularly bad movie - It made Porky's look like Citizen Kane!

Thanks. I needed a good laugh after posting on such an unpleasant subject.

It sounds similar in spirit to "A Time to Kill." When justice is perceived to have been denied, everyday people make choices which would have been incomprehensible.

I have noticed that men are especially sensitive to "justice being served." There is a social contract of "Restrain your immediate just response and the government will provide justice." When the justice isn't meted out the contract has been violated. It moves from choosing not to act to being too weak to act. Self-restraint is rewarded with shame and mockery.

You are perceptive.

"They will even invent violent responses if need be, but that’s another topic." The job of the SPLC.

One only has to look at a county-by-county electoral map to realize there are a lot more red areas than blue [note to globalists & John Thune]. If Charlie Kirk had been assassinated under a different presidential administration, that might have been the spark to light the fuse to start the explosion. Between radical political extremism, illegal immigrant invasions, massive fraud, and a national debt that is swallowing increasing amounts of resources, we are living on a knife's edge. Without de-escalation of one or more of these pressing issues, a spark that lights the fire seems inevitable. Stay focused on Jesus.

Production values do not always make a good movie, many so called blockbusters are far inferior to quite a few indie films. As for the subject matter, I think it is the classic David vs Goliath story, a story literally as old as time. I don't expect it to inspire anyone to act out this fiction, but id anything it tells you how complex such a plan would need to be. I read a book years ago called Let Us Prey that was about a very complex plan to attack the government, if I took one lesson from it that would be such things are so difficult to be nearly impossible. But there is a reason movies like this and Falling Down or John Q resonate with people is exactly that yearning for justice that you wrote of.

I will have to watch this movie and really get a feel for it.

I will watch it as soon as it is available to me.

I checked for you, and it is no longer available on X that I can see.

Thank you. Things I've considered for quite a long time. However, God has something very, very special in mind, so everybody keep getting more and more of Jesus in your life and keep praying in His victorious goodwill for you.
