Skistimas, known for his conservative leanings and outspoken stance on personal freedoms, welcomes these new voices, acknowledging that any movement needs fresh blood to grow. However, he expresses a personal skepticism towards these latecomers, dubbing them 'Johnny-come-latelys'. This skepticism stems from the belief that true commitment to a cause is shown when one stands up during the toughest times, not when the battle is nearly won.
Skistimas's commentary strikes a chord, highlighting the perceived lack of courage among those who waited for the 'dirty work' to be completed by others before joining the fray. This critique resonates with many who value the principle of standing firm in one's beliefs, especially when the cost is high, and serves as a reminder of the integrity required in the fight for freedom.
