Theme: Responsibility

Repeating. I learned a lot from the TRS staff about the consequences of Cville. So I stand by my actions. I made the right choice at the time with the information I had at my disposal and I couldn’t have done anything better. If I had understood what it looked like to you folks sitting at home (versus us sitting there in the aftermath of a crisis) I would have done the same thing except not given them the bullhorn, but given it back to the 2a guys. It’s not complicated. You had your context, we had ours, and with the information I had, I pandered to the enemy to keep peace on the ground rather than repeat Charlottesville, involve cops, lawyers, prosecutors, media, and turn everyone’s lives to shit and debt for purely symbolic reasons so that you folks at home could get an uncle Adolph moment and dopamine hit. I’m not interested in your need for feelings of power. I’m not following the left’s strategy like you are. I’m following the founding fathers because that strategy is expressly licensed in the founding documents, and was the intention of the founding documents that someone like me reform the government if necessary. And so you can want what you want. But I’m not that stupid. And I’m very disappointed in y’all for not getting that, and using leftist cancel culture on me – and really it’s made me lose faith in you too. There is a reason you don’t have leaders or elites. This is why. It’s not worth even trying. Because you want to be at the bottom. And you take everyone down to your level with you. … So we will continue on our mission of appealing to men and women of maturity and agency to seek a political solution by the moral high ground, and to use our proposal to frame the narrative, and use numbers on the ground to control that narrative … until that fails – because given the terms of our proposal only an immoral person could refuse it. And at that point, if civil war must happen, then it will happen from a position of the moral high ground, in pursuit of a solution that maintains the moral high ground. … So since we’re the only adults in the room, I’ll stick with our strategy of adults, for adults, by adults, and you can stick with your roman salutes, Adolph fantasies, WN without solving the problem for others, and continue to fail. But that’s all there is to it. Moving forward.
