The Morning Report — 11/15/22

pelosentit.jpg

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and in contemplating the situation we find ourselves in, France at the outbreak of the Second World War comes to mind. On paper, the French armed forces appeared unbeatable. They had the largest army on the continent, more aircraft, more and even better tanks than the German panzers of the time, and in their eyes the ultimate weapon: the Maginot Line, a chain of fortresses and installations that were described as impregnable. All through the previous decade, the French knew that sooner or later they would once again face off against their neighbor to the east and were determined to be prepared for the onslaught or at least deter an attack. Yet all through that same decade, as the threat became greater, they and their British allies had chance after chance of thwarting it. Even after the invasion of Poland, instead of immediately attacking in the west, they sat on their hands as Hitler and Stalin carved up that nation in less than a month. And they sat on their hands – the "sitzkrieg," "phony war" – until Hitler turned west.

The Maginot Line? The Germans went around it via the low countries where the line stopped and through the Ardennes which the French considered equally impenetrable. The army? Commanded by generals who were miles from the front, without modern communications. The advantage in tanks and airplanes? Frittered away in outmoded tactics and picked off one by one. The men in uniform? Demoralized from the start, commanded by elderly, incompetent, aloof leaders, and lacking the spirit and will to fight. That was the result of years of political and societal infighting and division. In short, the French after fighting mostly with each other since 1919 were now fighting their old enemy with the same strategy, tactics and materiel of the previous war. The result? For four long, horrible years, the French people suffered under the hobnailed boot of Nazism, made all the more intolerable by the grudging or eager collaboration of far too many of their fellow Frenchmen. Then came the dawn of June 6, 1944. And the rest is history.

I'm struck by quite a few parallels between France in 1940 and those of us who are desperate to save if not restore our nation and society. The fear I have is that there won't be the equivalent of 5,000 allied ships off the coast ready to invade. We are fighting both ourselves as well as an implacable enemy that for well over 100 years has been singularly focused on our subjugation or extermination. As has been proven for the past two elections if not longer, we are fighting them with the strategies and tactics of the previous war. Worst of all, far too many of our leadership as well as in the ranks simply refuse to even realize the nature of this enemy and its lethal intentions. Even more worser-er, many of the former are quite happy to go along with the plan and stab us in the back.

There's fraud and cheating, and there's the system that was put into place during the Chinese COVID panic-demic that greased the wheels of the fraud and cheating if not giving them the veneer of, if not legality, which co-blogger and friend Joe Mannix pointed out in the comments yesterday is not and cannot be legal, then let's just call them the moral equivalent of being certified as kosher or a sort of Good Housekeeping seal of approval. If they make the rules, can enforce the rules or ignore them as they see fit, have too many judges in their pockets and the Postal Service, among other things, then the system really is the steal. If abortion mouse Katie Hobbs can be both a candidate for governor AND the secretary of state who is in charge of the election process and the counting of ballots, what does that tell you?

Beyond the corruption of the system and the outright thievery or the state-approved "thievery," we must recognize the fact that far too many legal and legitimate votes and ballots were indeed cast in favor of installing "Lumpy" Fetterman and his cut-rate Edith Wilson-cum-Elsa Lanchester freakazoid wife as Senator of Pennsylvania. That there is an indicator of something much more serious than even an election that has been stolen and/or corrupted.

. . . what nearly everyone fails to understand is that this election further amplified that this nation has effectively and permanently split into two countries tenuously living side-by-side, while exposing the overwhelming importance of the 2024 election.

The United States is currently plagued with uncontrolled inflation spiraling into a severe recession, crime is rampant in the nation’s cities, the borders are open and uncontrolled, the standard of living is rapidly deteriorating, society is sinking into a morass of premeditated cultural decline, and an increasingly bleak future awaits the vast majority of Americans.  Yet fifty percent of 2022 voters chose to continue this state of affairs by opting to elect or re-elect the politicians that have created or abetted this ongoing national devastation. 

Far too many, particularly the younger generations who voted overwhelmingly Democrat, dwell in mindless loyalty to a collectivist tribe, its leaders and its attendant ideology.  In their addled thinking this fidelity outweighs the well-being of themselves or the nation and its citizenry.

As half of the populace is content with the current state and trajectory of this nation and the other half is not, it is clear that these two populations can no longer maintain their increasingly fragile and potentially volatile relationship.  The United States is at that defining moment when one side has to win and the other lose; there is no middle ground. 

There is no middle ground as this nation is beset with dichotomous ideological and societal differences that are irreconcilable as one side (blue America) is hellbent on defeating and subjugating the other (red America). . .

. . . The election in 2024 represents the last chance to defeat blue America at the ballot box and maintain the United States as founded.  If red America does not prevail in 2024 within a decade or two the United States will be impotent and unrecognizable. 

There is a generational shift underway as the younger, woefully indoctrinated generations will evolve into increasingly dominant segments of the voting populace.  Post 2024, blue America will grant citizenship to 30-40+ million illegal immigrants and millions more through unfettered chain migration.  Further, they intend to permanently embed voter fraud and manipulation through federal legislation.  If they are not soundly defeated in 2024, this demographic change and these legislative initiatives will assure that blue America never loses a national election. . .

. . . Red America will be faced with three options if it cannot win the presidency and control Congress in 2024.  First, it can meekly and unconditionally surrender, thus abetting the collapse of the United States.  Second, it can hope for a catastrophic depression wherein everyone will inordinately suffer and, thus, oust blue America from the corridors of power.  Third, the states controlled by red America can begin the process of a national divorce by refusing to live under the dictates of blue America.

Emphasis mine above, and I do agree. Except, given the results of the past two election cycles a) what makes one have any sort of hope for an electoral victory, either by a red wave or a red pubic hair, if the same systems, "fortified" by orders of magnitude even more than the previous two will be in place and, even more frightening, b) the reaction of the Left if we do actually manage to beat their system and win in '24?

The vilification, blood-libeling, other-ization and even declaration via the law enforcement and national security bureaucracies at the behest of the junta in power of us as criminals, insurrectionists and terrorists for merely expressing an opinion contra the official line, is only going to get worse from here on out. Imagine us winning in '24 with that mindset hanging over our head.

Yet, as the link above dictates, that eventuality may not even play out in '24 and as time goes by, less and less with each passing year.

Not only was the youth turnout this year the highest for a midterm election cycle in 30 years, but this particular generation turned out to vote exactly the way they had been told to do. Behold, the seeds of decades of indoctrination in education, pop culture, and social media have finally sprouted now that these kids are all of legal voting age. Sprinkle on the finishing touch that is Biden’s unconstitutional student loan forgiveness plan, and these loyal voters were ready to swarm the polls to reward Democrats.

The generation that believes global warming is real, embraces sexual degeneracy and mental illness as “pride,” and is willing to live and die before the altar of “multiculturalism” and “diversity,” is now prepared to express these delusional beliefs at the ballot box. Republicans may very well have been targeting the parents of these brainwashed kids, who are justifiably angry at what their children have been put through for years; but they did not count on those very same brainwashed kids turning out to vote themselves. . .

. . . There will soon come a time when the most reliably Republican age group, Baby Boomers, are no longer around in the large numbers they are today; we may already be seeing this shift, as many of these older Trump voters who cast a ballot in 2016 are not around anymore. When that happens, the relatively smaller Gen X will be completely outvoted by Millennials and Zoomers. If 2022 is any indication, this eventual demographic shift paints a very dark picture for the future of our civilization.

And there may very well be nothing we can do to stop it.

While there are some silver linings to Tuesday’s results, the fact remains that the America of November 8, 2022 is very different from the America of November 8, 2016. The slow march of time only pulls us further and further away from the glory of 2016, which is now starting to feel less like the “dawn of a new day,” and instead appears to more closely resemble a last defiant breath.

The sad truth, at least from my perspective, is we lost America almost to the second that Douglas MacArthur declared "These proceedings are closed," when the Japanese signed unconditional surrender aboard the USS Missouri. At that point, the cancer that came here from abroad in the form of the exiles from the Frankfurt School like Herbert Marcuse and Theodore Adorno as well as the homegrown variety of socialists and communists like John Dewey began the "Long March through the institutions," most notably our education system until we have lobotomized upwards of three generations of our children to be useless, mind-numbed automatons and Red Guard cadres eager to kill their parents and serve up America on a silver platter to some Maoist version of Moloch and Pazuzu.

The good news, if you can call it that, is our economy is set to absolutely crash long before they can hoist the homosexual rainbow flag with the hammer and sickle motif over the White House. We might even have nuclear war in the Middle East or even with the Chi-Coms as Admiral Rachel Levine goes down (no pun) with a carrier battle group off the coast of Taiwan.

Nothing motivates people like running out of food, shelter and clothing. Meh, they'll blame Trump and decades from now, Auntie Entity will create Thunderdome based on the voting laws of Arizona and Pennsylvania.

The entire point of stealing the elections and operations in Arizona is to secure a solid path to 2024. They can win the presidency without additional cheating, and now they ALSO have the additional cheating if they need it.

There is no path to 270 given the current McGOP "leadership" and the allowance of ballot fraud.

25 Chinese COVID-19 Amnesty? Not So Fast, Says a New Poll

--

Hey, remember when people asked to follow science and we know how natural immunity works and that they didn't want to be part of a long-term trial of an experimental DNA-modification injection and they were told "F_CK YOU!!"?

Remember that? Remember how people lost their jobs or were kicked out of the military or not allowed to see their dying parents in hospitals and nursing homes to hold their hands as they breathed their last?

No. I am fine speaking for everyone here. We forgive you if you're sincere, but we will not forget. And we certainly will not let bygones be bygones. You do not get amnesty for anything. Everything you do is suspect from now on, the exact same way I'd view a man who raped and murdered his family and who just moved in next door after being released

You are not trustworthy. Worse, you actively seek to harm others if you get the chance. That's not something that just disappears overnight.

29 The Cantonese vs Mandarin thing is a big deal, essentially the ChiComs outlawed Cantonese being spoken openly outside of the SE by making Mandarin the communist Lingua Franca which is ironic given Taiwan did a lot of the same.

the HK-Shanghai corridor relied on it, and most western Chinese speakers in the world wars spoke Cantonese.

Since I didn't click over to read the article, let me ask a question: does the author confront the true elephant in the room? That is to say, what good does it do to "defeat blue America at the ballot box" when a POTUS can be stopped dead in his tracks by a lawless DoJ and military who simply refuse to carry out his orders and will gleefully lie to his face?

Several years ago, I would have cheered on a military coup that would have given Scankles and the Dems a full Pinochet, but not now. My prediction has beenoff for a few years, but I am still certain that, within the near future, the guns of the military will be turned against red America.

This is bullshit.

If you are basing your doom on this, then calm your tits.

THIS was the group the Democrats micro targeted, so OF COURSE they were the highest turn out of all time. Also on an extremely related note, where were they NOT a factor? Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, ...

A nationwide trend needs to be nationwide. It wasn't, it occurred in certain state and certain districts, so don't learn the wrong lessons.

I said yesterday, there is no path to 270 in 2024. Not because the electoral path doesn't exist (turns out it does, through NV and VA), but because the GOP and people like us refuse to learn the correct lessons.

As long as the idiots in the McFailure wing are in charge, we can't win. So fix that first before getting sucked into panic about demographics.

That's optimistic.

We're fighting them with no strategy or tactics at all, because it is being done piecemeal. It is being done piecemeal because the leadership is far from not realizing who and what the enemy is.

Our cities have become filled with people dependent upon Uncle Sugar and vote overwhelmingly for the statist quo.

For example, take Philadelphia's votes away and Oz wins by nearly 100,000 votes. 80% of Philadelphia votes for the (D) every election. I'm sure there's bogus ballots because the rest of the state *should* be able to negate that advantage by a small amount.

81 The City Journal article about PA is very very accurate.

I sort of sometimes end up in circles of rich R types around here and they a) disliked Doug and made open fun of him and b) are anti-Trump, now more than ever. When fundraising, Oz did NOT act like he liked Trump among these people. Not at all. He would basically say whatever but heart of hearts, not loyal to Trump. Certainly not of the same mind.

PA needs more pain. They'll get it. I do think Josh will be slightly better than Wolfie - he will be here more, he does actually interact with the (rich) citizens of PA more, and he has Presidential aspirations. Rendell is advising him and I personally like Ed (I know Wyatt you hate him) and don't think Ed is crazy and I know Ed loves the state. So we'll see.

I'm chilling now. Voting here in PA is kind of pointless but whatevs. I'm starting to understand how it works here. Philly was a machine city but now PA is a machine state. For both "sides of the aisle."

88 what nearly everyone fails to understand is that this election further amplified that this nation has effectively and permanently split into two countries tenuously living side-by-side, while exposing the overwhelming importance of the 2024 election.
++++
If it's already effective, and if that effect is permanent, then why does 2024 matter at all?

I'm not being deliberately snarky. If the divisions are fundamental and permanent and the genesis of both factors is now in the past (it is the current, right-now reality) then why does 2024 matter? If there are fundamental and permanent divisions then the outcome of the next election is not systemically relevant. It matters on the individual level - who is to be the slave and who is to be the master - but as far as the bigger abstractions like the country itself, the election can have no meaning if the asserted conditions are true.

People often talk about the influence globalism is having on not just US but western politics but I don't think they fully realize the intent. Globalism means allegiance to globalist causes and leader over national causes and leaders. If you look at the policies of the left over the last number of years, open borders, permitted speech, a degradation of American values, crushing of our fossil fuel based economy, a totally pointless war in Ukraine, etc., these are the policies of the globalist elite in Davos.

Even following an electoral defeat - and let's assume it's yuge and luxurious, to the tune of something like R+15 - "Blue America" is still in charge of the federal agencies and about a third of the states. Last time something even remotely like that happened - 2016 - we saw just how much "Blue America" accepted the outcome.

130 McConnell fought Scott every step of the way, when he suggested the radical idea of developing a campaign platform to justify voters supporting GOP Senate candidates. McConnell preferred to let the Biden record speak for itself.

McConnell was desperately, completely, proven wrong.

McCarthy's more insidious, given his close relations with Google, with MAGA, with GOPe, with lobbyists generally (as exemplified by his roommate, Frank Luntz). McCarthy is everybody's friend, even Liz Cheney.

That's right, McCarthy kept Liz Cheney in power until the caucus threatened his job! Only then did she get booted from her whip position. But never from the caucus.

McCarthy is the worst kind of snake.

131 I will also point out a significant structural problem that also must be overcome.

Democrats spent $100M in Arizona. Finchem has no money at all to run his race. We all know the games that were played against Masters.

The GOP funding is WinRed, which many of us refuse to donate to, because we know it is a scam. The money is sucked up and spent trying to defeat Republicans in Alaska and never gets to the real candidates.

Democrats started their ballot curing operation last Wednesday. Republicans didn't have one.

Bottom line, until there is a way to fund candidates outside of the Party graft machine, we are at a massive structural disadvantage. And the RNC can't fix this, because they will keep WinRed going and suck up all money, putting it in their pockets.

That's one possibility, but I am not convinced that hope is not misplaced. A lot of this possibility hinges on privation leading to discontent, and that discontent leading to regime change.

I do think, however, that the scale of privation that it will take to do it is generally underestimated and woefully so.

151 After seeing this election play out I’ve reluctantly come to the conclusion that no MAGA candidate (Trump himself or DeSantis) will be allowed to win in 2024. Dems are firmly in control of the states they need and therefore no Republican can win PA, MI, AZ, WI, and probably throw GA and NV into that list as well. Dems can generate as many votes as they need in those states. The electoral math then leads to the conclusion that there’s no path for MAGA in 2024 (which makes the Trump, DeSantis argument pointless)…

You see the exact opposite, particularly when it comes to the headliners: Obama and Biden were the most Leftist in the D Party Senate, then Hillary and Kaine followed as, according to their voting records, the most Anti-American in the Senate. Do I need to repeat that observation again for the current junta?

The D Party looks for its most hard-core anti-American, anti-God, anti-Human-Flourishing Senators and pushes them to the role where they can abuse the most power and effectively destroy life, liberty and property.

I'm convinced that Stan is their political consultant and King Maker.

VA and GA are fraud states, especially VA. AK is an unknown quantity thanks to RCV. NV might be a blue state by 2024.

But with a path to victory that narrowly defined, stealing it is relatively easier. That's a fairly serious problem. If the path to victory is known in advance, taking one - just one - of those victories away ends the conflict. Playing games in just one of them - and it's easy to play games in GA and NV - gets the job done.

It's pretty obvious the GOP as it stands today is obsolete. The Democrats have that ruthless desire for power and control. I will admit they have gamed the electoral system to great success and there's no reason why a smart Republican Party couldn't do better and thus win.

But this Republican Party and its leadership doesn't appear to want that.

If we had a competent party that wanted to win they'd be damning the people calling Walker stupid as racists. And not stop.

Bitch McConnell or some other GOPe throwing off his head set and calling some FNM mouthpiece "A piece of shit racist" would be worth a bunch of votes.

But...they don't really want to win

Not quite pointless. Even if there is no path to victory or if there is no benefit to victory (and I am increasingly in the latter camp, if not the former), the Trump vs. DeSantis argument is still meaningful because DeSantis is governor of FL and tilting at the federal windmill might damage his state administration or interfere with his ability to vet candidates for his replacement when he is term-limited in '26. Given that everything now hinges on strong state-level leadership to act as a firewall against the federal government and try to make the future battle lines predictable, wasting strong state-level talent on pointless federal contests will have a destructive effect regardless.

Those are facts. Also a fact, Lake was indeed polling well ahead of Hobbs and the election was corrupt thanks to policies McCain Republicans put in place to defeat people like Hobbs.

Half of Gen Z isn't voting age yet. Defined as 1998-2012 birth year (I've also seen 2000-2015. The "generation" system has broken down, as it must. The Boomers and X were the only "real" ones, because there was that big war that resulted in a reset in reproduction. Under normal conditions, which we have now had for almost 80 years, things don't line up cleanly), only those born in the first 5.75 years of the cohort were of voting age. Less than half, and the younger ones seem to be more based than the older ones. But the anticommunist side of the split isn't going to turn out for milquetoast.

I don't put my faith in Gen Z, but I also don't assume that the generation is as uniformly leftist as the Millennials, either.

Every discussion should be about changing GOP leadership, they lost ... again, and I don't think they understand that by letting the cheating go on - they aren't ever winning those seats back, not even if they bring dead John McCain back to run in AZ... he's going to lose to whatever whacko the left decides to run.

Then SHAZAM! a state or two with open primaries and questionable ballot handling and they each took the lead all the way up to the RNC coronation.

Florida was the key, back then they were holding ballots up to the light looking for "hanging chads" and both parties recognized Florida as a key to engineering races favorable to each Party's goals because of the rampant corruption and lax integrity oversight.

Under no circumstance in Arizona is telling McCain voters which were a majority of the GOP caucus

Trump is a retard, and people who are more wrapped up in intraparty rather than interparty fighting are not useful to any chance of victory.

What if, hear me out, the McCain Republicans were running against Lake and trashing here daily as not one of them. Because that's exactly what happened in AZ. Are you saying she should have surrendered and become one of them? That would have helped us how?

The race was not won by votes. It was run through a corrupt ballot counting process that was completely controlled by the opposition including her opponent. If you followed the moronic week long counting process that was also rigged against Lake including "ballot curing" that was tilted toward Hobbs and Kelly you would know this had nothing to do with retail politics.

270 Bottom line, until there is a way to fund candidates outside of the Party graft machine, we are at a massive structural disadvantage. And the RNC can't fix this, because they will keep WinRed going and suck up all money, putting it in their pockets.
Posted by: Dave in Fla at November 15, 2022 08:20 AM (5p7BC)

Agreed. Surprised that Trump did not design a go-around to Win Red and if he does not do so quickly, don't see among other challenges--how he has a path to win. Trump himself can raise money but you need an army and I think Davein Fla pointed out that Trump was miserly with the money he had in terms of helping MAGA candidates in this cycle. Money matters. And Win Red is just a back door to assuring GOPe surrender.

"Wrong track" doesn't necessarily mean that people agree.

Some of the people who think we're on the "wrong track" think that things haven't gone too far enough and it's all taking too long. Some people who think we're on the "wrong track" think so only because of Dobbs. Some people who think we're on the "wrong track" think so only because college and medical care aren't free. Etc.

Unless you have a "ballot curation and election fortification" machine in your back pocket the ONLY way we win right now is maximizing the voter total get it?

The democrats can get their way on policy because largely they have transcended the need to have actual voters, and frankly once the GOP either dies, is genocided away or smartens the fuck up we can afford to have the cutthroat scales balancing the party and the nation need.

Even John McCain knew that he wasn't allowed to win. Remember when 'W' was the mastermind behind the banking and finance collapse? McCain was ahead of Obama up to that time in the polling and out of the blue McCain decided to suspend his campaign? Then when that wasn't enough he went out and fired his campaign manager for daring to offend the Messiah by sounding out publicly "Hussein" ? When that wasn't enough to throw the race, McCain came out of a joint meeting with 'W', and Obama allegedly about the crisis and started praising Obama's leadership as not even a two year Senator who has the genius and wisdom to see the FUSA out of the financial crisis?

He was supposed to lose, and he was going to lose even if it required moving heaven and earth to do so.

And this is why many people - and I was one of them - declined the vaccines. It wasn't because of politics and it wasn't because of conspiracy theories (and there was a lot of both associated with the vax, and a lot of it has been demonstrated at this point) but because of unknown risks. You cannot know long-term risks without long-term study, and we still haven't had long-term study. The vaccine has only been in use for under two years. We're still in intermediate term, and problems have already surfaced.

340 If "country headed in wrong direction" irks you a little, maybe you should reconsider "How important is abortion?" as a poll question. A lot of people thought it was "important." Nobody remembered to ask them what they meant by that. Perhaps we could outlaw polling, or at least require a minimum level of competence. Maybe a license, of some kind...

I don't think so, but this year who the hell knows?

Math says there are about 2000 ballots uncounted in CO-3 and last night Boebert had a 1012 vote lead. Pretty hard to see a scenario where the Dems can cure over 1000 ballots vote differential.

Because to get to the proper end state (real elections), you have to go through the current state (fake elections). The Dems play this game well, in two ways. First, they are very good at micro-targeting and getting drones to send in ballots filled out for them (Dave in Fla talks about this, and he's right). Second, they are also very good at cheating outrageously through harvesting and muling ballots, "assisting" people with filling out those ballots, etc. The Republicans have to do the same, on both fronts, if they have any hope of winning elections. Once they win, they can try to fix it.

Which won't happen. Even if they play the game well and win, they won't fix the problem. Why would they get rid of such a useful system that ensures that machine candidates win?

Implementing cheat-by-mail is a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed, even if both teams learn how to play.

The following is an academic question, but so be it.

Trump is not the point but the truths he pointed out about the bureaucracy and the perfidy of "our side" that we saw on display during his administration is the point of him. Now "our side" is trying to bring Paul Ryan back into the picture? There goal has been to oust the truth about their complicity in the democrat agenda.

Shortly after Abbott's announcement, the Harris County GOP announced it had filed a lawsuit against elections administrator Clifford Tatum and Harris County.

I had another thought about this and I am even more troubled by it. The ballot isn't signed. The envelope is signed. Once the ballot is separated from the envelope, the ballot is no longer identifiable as belonging to a particular individual. This is how the secret ballot is maintained, and why weak intake control is so dangerous to election integrity. Once the ballot (the data) is separated from the envelope (the metadata), it cannot be identified so a problem found in the metadata cannot result in the nullification of the data after the fact.
So if they are calling people to come sign the envelopes, that implies one of two things:
1. The envelopes haven't been opened yet and were being held in reserve because the officials have to reason to believe that they'll go the "right way" in the contest
2. The ballot isn't secret

Either one is a fairly significant problem. The latter is more significant.

Neither have I, but I have signed at various points in the process. In CO, which is a cheat-by-mail state, you have to sign the envelope. In my current state, you sign a receipt for the ballot before voting. In neither case is the ballot itself signed. The signature is on the intake control side of things, to try to prevent ballots from being given out to people who are not entitled to receive them.

It's partly to get attention, and it works.

Another part is that these kinds of radicals have active contempt and loathing for Western culture and history. This serves two purposes, in that it disparages or destroys things from our evil, unwoke past that are therefore unworthy of surviving and it also gets them the spotlight.

454 A lot of people thought it was "important." Nobody remembered to ask them what they meant by that.

Part of the op. See, eventually the media theme will be that despite the earlier polls that said the general public did not favor abortions as birth control, somehow that one issue will be sold as what made voters ignore everything else about the last two years and decide to vote Dems to punish the Rs. So a goodly number of people will say abortion was "important" They didn't want to break that down any further so they can imply all of them wanted to keep it.

How are you dealing with what has been done to our nation? Pretending if we just do enough cheerleading and vote just a little harder we can turn this around?

501 Bemoaning donations but never asking why no one wants to give GOP money.
Posted by: AlaBAMA at November 15, 2022 09:33 AM (mZ3xv)

I'm sure they know why. Someone I know, a dem in fact, admitted that the GOP is complicit in their agenda. A man who rammed Kavanaugh through the confirmation process, is not someone who was tricked by the democrats, he said. I think people who would contribute to the GOP under different circumstances, know that they are not "our side".

502 478 472. I'd love to trust DeSantis. Despite his great deeds, his meetings with RINOs put me off. He has made no attempt to clear the water on this. It could be he will use them to achieve noble goals, but that is unclear.

The enemy is McConnell. Meeting with the enemy is schmartz. Know your enemy. That GOPe wanted to talk tells you they are weak.

503 I'll talk about what else can be done and it's simple but effective.

Involve yourselves at the LOCAL levels, (town councils, school boards, etc). You can make an immediate difference here, where it's most important. Dig around a little, there are numerous examples of conservatives effecting needed change, you can do the same.

504 We will not win elections if we "JUST' vote harder.
There are clearly other events which must also take place in parallel.

But we will NEVER win another election if a sufficient number of us chose to not vote.

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at November 15, 2022 09:47 AM (1n+EO)

505 And that article cited in JJ's post about generational change understates the problem quite a bit.

It's not freshly minted alien quasi-Americans a few years out of the "education" complex that are looting and deforming corporate America on behalf of idiotic causes and crude racism, or beclowning themselves in uniform with 3 or 4 stars on their shoulders, or kneeling with kente cloths around their necks in the Rotunda (really the chef's kiss of American political degradation - so far). It's people in their 50s, 60s, 70s.

Pathetic.

507 "What I can tell you is the economy does not look great right now," the Amazon founder said. "Things are slowing down. You’re seeing layoffs in many, many sectors of the economy. People are slowing down. The probabilities say if we’re not in a recession right now, we’re likely to be in one very soon."

Yes, and the GOP understand this better than we do, and they keep quiet. Except that evil Trump, Bannon and Lindell. If saying "fraud" gets you cancelled, pilloried, or put in jail, you won't say it.

510 while exposing the overwhelming importance of the 2024 election.

This is optimism bordering on reality-denial. The outcome of the 2024 election has already been decided. The state will not allow Trump or DeSantis to be president, no matter how many votes are cast in their favor. If we haven't learned that from 2020 and 2022, we are incapable of learning it.

512 The number of conservatives who vote is irrelevant unless there is a total overhaul of the RNC/GOP.

If the Mc Triplets are still running the show in 2024, I won't vote.

518 You don't have to revere McCain. You can continue to detest him. But publicly defecating on his memory at every opportunity is a complete own-goal. All you have to do is make nice with his memory and his supporters. You don't have to lionize the guy, just don't crap on him and people who remember him fondly.

It's called politics.

By all rights it should have been a red wave; Trump single-handed screwed it up. Trump did versions of the McCain self-own all over the place, pissing off faction after faction until he became unelectable. He put himself on the ballot nationwide with this and refusing to move on from "stop the steal", and that's why the election was lost.

519 If I were advising DeSantis I'd tell him to hold a presser and offer Arizona the use of his voting apparatus for a redo election to eliminate all doubt as to the outcome...you know, to save democracy or something.

Posted by: Jonah at November 15, 2022 09:01 AM (Cw0fX)

Well, it's soccer after all.

And yet the Americans are ,by far,the gayest team.
It's almost as if the masculine Americans are black eg NFL and if you remove them you have a bunch of pantywaists. Ironical for white Americans to call anything or anyone gay. Watching black dudes run around and hit each other does not make you less effeminate.
