At the time just before our Country's Independence from England, we were besieged by the King's army to control the people of the new Country called America... The name of that movie was "The Patriot", staring Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, and a host of other great actors and actresses... Of course this movie is a dramatization, but one that provides us with the foundation of what our forebears lived under until they finally took up arms to fight for their Freedom, for Our Freedom... The scene that I have selected to share is the one where Ann Recruits the Parishioners in their local church... Were this to happen in today's time, how would we react?
Here is a brief film description:
"Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the director/producer team responsible for such sci-fi blockbusters as Independence Day, Stargate, and Godzilla, take a step back in time with this drama set during the American Revolution. Farmer Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) was born and raised in South Carolina, and fought bravely during the French-Indian wars. But since the death of his wife, Benjamin has renounced violence and quietly tends his crops, raising his seven children alone. In 1776, over Benjamin's objections, his oldest son Gabriel (Heath Ledger) joins the fight against the British. Gabriel returns from battle seriously wounded, with Lord General Cornwallis (Tom Wilkinson) calling for his arrest. A skirmish breaks out on Benjamin's plantation, and one of his children is killed as Gabriel is captured by Col. Tavington (Jason Isaacs) and sentenced to hang. Benjamin sets aside his vow of pacifism and rescues Gabriel; with the help of his former comrade-in-arms Harry Burwell (Chris Cooper), the father and son form a regiment of Carolina patriots whose cunning and ruthlessness make them heroes among the colonists -- and wanted men by British troops. Loosely adapted from the true story of Francis Marion and filmed on location in South Carolina, The Patriot was the first feature film made with the cooperation of the Smithsonian Institute, who advised the producers on historical accuracy. Joely Richardson also stars as Charlotte, Benjamin's sister-in-law who helps him care for the children." MovieClips

Great post. And not all that far fetched. Antifa and BLM would hang opponents in a heartbeat, with Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Harris silent unless the polls indicated it would be better otherwise.

Discover the Networks | Antifa
Antifa is a revolutionary Marxist/anarchist militia movement that seeks to bring down the United States by means of violence and intimidation. As a September 2017 report in The Atlantic notes, Antifa is responsible for “a level of sustained political street warfare not seen in the U.S. since the 1960s.”

On the surface, it looks like BLM and ANTIFA have hundreds of thousands of members across the United States and more than a million strong when you count those whoriot internationally.

MSG Felipe De Leon Brown - Of course, you will see none of this, or hear about it at all, if you get your news from the discredited CNN or MSNBC and their shabby ilk.
