It isn't surrender. It is recognizing that if you want to actually cause some change in the right direction what you are doing isn't working.
This is repeated often around Briefer City, in one form or another. I don't think it's so much "surrender" as abject ignorance.
To think we can affect change going forward by turning all levers of government and the courts over to the Socialists for a generation belies even a rudimentary understanding of how things are going to work if we lose this election.
We will have no voice. We will have no influence, we will have no place in the White House, no vote in either the house or the senate. And if one voice should sneak through, the courts will stifle it.
We will become everything the Socialists/Marists demand of us or we will lose income, home and our modicum of security. They're not going to wait for us to surrender, they're going to take all of it --- from us.
If ever there was a time to live in the moment, this is it.
