I caught a couple of clips the other day of some of the big podcasters or candidates and their counterparts on the other side of the spectrum. What became apparent from the beginning was the fundamental misunderstanding of who and what Trump is. Now, that seems ridiculous given the amount of time that Trump has been in front of the cameras, the near hysteria with which his every utterance is screamed across the internet, both positive and negative, but it seems true.
2000, Colorado, ACORN was big, it's never been a red state since. The last election I saw it was close with only a few counties of Boulder and Denver left to finish counting, and just like that, a 2-3% jump. Almost as if they were waiting to see how many they needed.
I agree with everything except peaceful vs. kinetic. I think it's gone too far and too many folks see that now. The legislatures, national and local, will not change voting laws. What we have now benefits them greatly. There is no need for an “aisle”, nothing separates them except the lobbyists doing corporate bidding. At some point, the government at some level, will pull the trigger and it will be game on. Just look at the idiocy- good, bad, or ugly, Trump is the people's choice but the RNC insists on debates.
If by "kinetic" you mean a hot shooting war with real guns and stuff, I don't see how that works. I mean who do you shoot? The people with blue ties? Maybe the ones who drive white Toyotas? Guys with beards? Or just the ones with mustaches? When the food supply chains are disrupted how much food do you have stored up? When the gas stations go down because no fuel is being shipped how are you going to get around?
I ran two counties in PA for Trump in 2016. Centre County, home of Penn State University always voted D by 50,000 or more votes since 1900. Liberal students and white collar faculty. Trump lost it, but only by about 10,000 votes.
Luzerne County Scranton/Wilkes Barre PA posted the same margins for D's since the dawn of time. Unionized coal miners and blue collar workers. Trump won it by about 30,000 votes.
Why? Because, regardless of their economic backgrounds they love the fact that Trump called a spade a spade and didn't care what people said about his views. A refreshingly honest guy running for office who was blunt but also humorous and fun.
2020 was different because it was definitely rigged. Won't go into all that now. But the way to take back the country is at the ballot box. We'll have to have polll watchers and the massive get out the vote effort.
Longer term people need to learn the Republican committee structure, how it works and how to infiltrate it to be able to get the candidates we need and want. A lot of work, but can be done and I'll be writing about that structure later. Coalesce around those two goals, work our butts off and do not despair. This can be done.
The sleeping giant needs to be awaken.
TLD,
Wow, this read has been excellent, so thank you.
The people in the US have been hypnotized, bamboozled, and ripe for the taking.
As a whole, we took very little seriously. We accepted, as children do, what we were
told and were passive when confronted with the facts. Concrete operational we call
it when children are ignorant, do not understand that Santa Claus is a myth to delight
children. We were naive and had no call to duty, feeling duty wasn't our task, we had
elections to hire others to do the thinking for us. We were free to play smartie pants
with our smart phones and social media and deny responsibility. Endless shopping,
keeping up with the neighbors, going to restaurants for countless meals...so we forgot
how to cook. We forgot how to be responsible adults and take charge when we needed
to. Now we are in a sorry mess and few have a clue of how entrenched the mess really is.
We sought to deny reality and play along. What could go wrong? Now we are being
steam rolled at a dizzying pace and catching up will be a royal bitch of a job. We had
better "repent", so to speak, and wake the hell up. Our very lives are on the line this time
around and we better pray we have chance to reclaim our duty to our fellow man.
In person with valid ID.
Paper balloting
Hand counted with three vetted witnesses per counter.
Bullet proof chain of custody of ballots until and after counting.
Anyone wanting to vote absentee. Could only do this with a verified medical reason & doctors signature.
I'm in a state with mail in only, (washington) Imo the elections here are absolutely compromised.
If they cannot be easily verified as completely above board & honest. Something is wrong.
Based on what I've seen here 2020 was stolen.
I've suspected this long before Trump.

Changed my mind.
