text: In reply to message48528: You're welcome. I personally believe rallies are an important part of impacting political change and influencing policy making. I also believe many who can not or don't want to attend have more tendency of undermining them as effective due to their own personal bias. Some times these rallies can take away attention from others efforts and therefore receive negative responses from those individuals. However, I am under the belief that you can support multiple courses of action in this Patriot community without undermining the other. We must look deep into how each role is vitally important in this movement and accept that personal prestige, attention or recognition is of the least importance.Do you not believe Trump's rallies had an impact? Or the massive Virginia gun rally in 2019? Or how the fact that Jan. 6th woke up so many people of just how corrupt and twisted our government was? Or the Tea Party movement? Or the Canadian Convoy impact? The list goes on and the impact is undeniable and sometimes the impact isn't immediate and not directly on the surface but rather leads to other movements, changes votes, changes in policymaking and altering voters perceptions and opinions. Since this change isn't always immediate or on the surface many may try to undermine who lack in-depth understanding. If you don't support rallies what are you doing in your local community and politics to impact change? Are you running for your local office? I believe we shouldn't just be preparing for war and survival tactics for when SHTF (although that's important) but if we only focus on that and not impacting change its as if we have given up the fight and just want war, violence and support the collapse.See Rated R Raw channel for a article on a study on how rallies and political movements do impact change.
