Why Patriots - Ozaukee County

We believe we are at a tipping point for our country and there needs to be a counter movement to the very motivated, organized, and well-funded efforts of radical ideologies.  They say "silence is a virtue" however they use our virtues against us to gain control of our institutions, communities, and lives.  While we have been polite and silent, they have been loud and organized.  Many feel isolated, weak, and powerless against this loud minority. The "silent majority" has led to disastrous results for our country and community by being apathetic and saying things like "all I can do is vote”.  Some of us do not even do that.  We convince ourselves that we have "good excuses”, such as avoiding conflict and confrontation or hurt feelings. This “silence” has led to many individuals in our community not feeling safe to express their beliefs and opinions because they fear being bullied, censored, boycotted, shamed, terminated, and even physically harmed. Worse are the virtue signalers who are only concerned about their superficial moral and social standing, falling over each other trying to be more politically correct than the other.  Even the innocent act of putting a campaign sign in the yard, running for school board, or a student disagreeing with a teacher’s political bias is feared.  These reasons, fears, and threats are real; however, silence means acceptance and only exacerbates the disease.  Silence is the reason we continue to head down a path many of us do not want to go.  Hope is not a strategy.  At some point you need to get educated, engaged, and SHOW UP.
