The first week was …. rough, but now, among our side, a strange calm has set in, even as our press shrills ever more loudly that we MUST believe them, and idiots run around saying “if only we give in to them, they’ll be quiet.
The silence is eery and strange, even as our democrat governors not only implement new lockdowns, but social media bans us in batch lots, and we get a sense that there is no way we come out of this without some kind of butcher’s bill.
And people who even a month ago would have gone “uh, are you nuts” are now saying things like “not yet.”
But there is a feeling of something brewing, and people are reaching for whatever they can as a time line, a plot, a guide.
We crossed to unknown waters when we WATCHED the election stolen before our eyes, in real time. And that’s not a line we can uncross.
Sure, Europe has seen things like this, and apparently the software used for the steal was developed in Venezuela (I know you’re shocked, shocked, shocked.) But Americans, you see, have been raised to believe we were free. More importantly, we’ve been raised to believe we have a right to be free. It makes a difference.
It’s just that right now no one knows what the next step is.My favorite was the guy on FB yesterday saying we needed “committees of correspondence.” A) we’re not cosplaying the American revolution. B) why? What have blogs been then? But I don’t hold it against him.
Navigation is unpredictable, just now. The waters are strange indeed.
Everyone is watching and waiting. It’s like that moment when the sea water goes out, WAY out. And then the tsunami hits.
Oh, not everyone is just standing and waiting. The rally in DC should have been a warning. Particularly since attendance massively exceeded expectations, on such short notice. There are other rallies being planned. I need to sign up for a few lists. You do too. Find out what’s happening in your area. Make contacts. Make plans. However this plays, you’ll need that.
But the left doesn’t take warnings well, and to be fair, we have flipped the play book on them. Because the right never demonstrates or gets unruly.
Or do we?
ROFL. We get over 2016, b*tch? Really? Yeah that is the problem. You have no idea what you’ve unleashed or what’s coming for you if your skanky would-be-elite asses manage to impose their will on us. Or think you do. After the outrages of 2020 and the revelations of how deep the fraud is? You have no idea, Chelsea, baby. And I’m still sane enough to hope very much you never find out. I hope very much the courts rule justly and that you and your ilk throw a massive tantrum and fly off to some tropical resort to cosplay rightful-leaders-in-exhile.
I’d rather you develop lifestyles at la victime than we have to deploy tumbrils.
I’ve been more certain than now that we could escape this. The problem, you see, is that you won’t learn and we won’t submit. Seems like a hopeless case.
There are some — very faint — glimmers of hope.
Take this for instance:
And that’s where the situation is.
Where I am? Where you are? Where we are?
We’re the dog leashed, still, and growling and tensing. If the intruder who would rob us of our most precious liberty, and who has already most vilely trespassed upon it this year, should take fright…. Well, the dog will just chase him off the property.
But what if it’s an exceptionally stupid intruder?
At this point the dog doesn’t care. The dog knows its duty. Its reconciled to what must happen.
A strange calm pervades our country.
It is said that before the battle of Thermopylae, the warriors combed their hair and dressed in their best, since it might be the last.
We’re all combing our hair, changing our clothes, hugging our loved ones, having one more party for the way. Just in case.
But if it comes for us, it does. None of us are running and hiding. Which should be a warning to the left. If the left could process warnings.
In this moment, as the sea goes out, way out, and things lay uncovered that were never intended to be seen in the full light of day, take stock and make preparations.
Know who your nearby friends are.
Have a place to run to should you need it.
Lay by supplies, at least for a month (six is better, a year best.) Remember pet food and any medications for you and your pets. If you need dental or eye exams, get them done now. Get a spare pair of glasses with your prescription. Ugly frames are okay.
Keep your car filled up. Make sure it’s mechanically good.
Make a go bag, and perhaps one with the dried food, that you can carry.
Get a battery radio.
Get extra batteries for your laptops/other appliances.
Get a grill, in case you need to cook with no electricity/gas.
Water filter. Medical kits.
Keep in touch with our people, nearby and remote. Some are not handling this well at all, and you must do what you can. Between lockdowns and the grand theft elections, people are at risk. Help a fallen comrade. They will lift you when needed.
The time might come to unleash. Now is not — yet — the time.
Prepare. And keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.
Has the entire world taken crazy pills? Are the “progressives” just saying whatever shit crosses their minds, and counting on the Amen chorus to nod along, even though it makes no sense in human language ever?
I mean, I remember when “progressives” while still disingenuous and unable to carry an economic argument in a bucket, could make superficial sense or at least appeal to the emotions of those who didn’t think things through.
Take Obama’s song and dance about how our constitution only guarantees negative rights, and he wanted to give people “positive” rights like a right to housing, education and medical treatment.
If you don’t think about it, that “pie in the sky by and by” makes perfect sense, right? Everyone getting the basics free would be great. Think about how much time/mental effort/anguish it would save everyone.
It’s only when you think about it, and look at the economics — which your average “progressive politics fan” never does — that you realize that while it would be great if everyone could have all that for free, given the fact it doesn’t grow on trees, comes from the labor of others and is NEVER unlimited, trying to give it free to everyone means several things all of them bad: in education, it means not only dumbing down coercion, because not everyone is suited to university education, or wants to go to university. In the end the free education is worth what you pay for it, and ends up not being useful for anything, because why should it be, since everyone has to take it and it’s free. In fact, you can already see this in the free and mandatory education we have now. Go look at an 8th grade book from the early century. Our graduates of 12th grade would have trouble READING it. Medicine? Already with Obamacare, we’re getting the tyranny of “best practices” and “evidence based medicine” both of which mean “we have to follow what works for most people” and “We have to follow the latest, probably irreproducible study.” The first one is fine, except for taking away doctor’s judgement, if you have a fairly standard problem, and your body works in a fairly standard way. But the second? Well, most studies can’t be reproduced. But they’re still “evidence.” And the doctors have to follow them. On top of that, the only way to have “free” medicine is to pay doctors a lot less, which means the current training is untenable. And making people work for a set wage they can’t negotiate? that’s called…. oh, yeah, slavery. Also, even with all that? they’re going to have a shortage of trained professionals. And medicine. And facilities. So, yeah, death panels and rationing.
As for free housing and food? Hello Soviet Union. You can have a closet in someone’s house. There is no bathroom, because it stopped working and no one will fix it. And, well, in winter there are turnips. They’re free!
But SUPERFICIALLY that bullshit made perfect sense, right? If you didn’t know economics, or history and PARTICULARLY if you were in my profession, where promising you those things for free took a ton of the pressure off.
But now? TO WHOM are they making sense now? WHAT the hell sense does this make? How stupid do you have to be you don’t see the problem?
One of Biden’s “science advisors” picks is recommending a six week lockdown to “eliminate the virus” and “revive the economy.”
Oh, I can get sort of why they want to lock up the entire country. Not the reasons they’re saying. but people have been escaping from in front of the boob tube and the indoctrination is slipping. They want you back in front of it so they can preach how they totally didn’t commit fraud, and Donald Trump is guilty of some kind of crime and should be imprisoned forever. I get that. Big Brother only works if you listen to every broadcast.
BUT how come people aren’t seeing through this shit at a cursory glance? Even the f*cking WHO says that lockdowns do nothing. If I could deduce that the virus was not all that lethal back in February from the F*cking numbers in the F*cking cruise ship, how come people haven’t tumbled to it even now. In face, why are people putting up with their F*cking states locking down again.
Besides, how long have people been alive in this world? If the common cold (which this virus is a variety of, btw) can be eliminated with lock downs, how did it ever get going when most of humanity was isolated compared to us? How come no dictatorial regime ever cured the common cold by locking down their population?
Sure, you can slow down hospital overcrowding for a new virus, which is how the 15 day — still ongoing six months later — lockdown was sold in March, right? But that’s in an entirely novel virus situation, which this ain’t. We’ve found that other Covid viruses confer some immunity. We’ve also found the virus has probably been here for a year, which means it will recur every winter with other Corona Viruses. Sure, it sucks. But the only way it kills the WHOLE population is if we hide under our beds and collapse our civilization.
The flue kills probably 300 to 400k people on bad years — it’s hard to tell — without the funny numbers of COVID-19, and we’ve never hid in our homes and locked up.
This shit came back when the weather got cold, as we all knew it would. The hospitals are NOT OVERLOADED. The only hospitals that ever got that overloaded were in Italy, because they ahve “free!” medical care, and their capacity and quality is for sh*t as always when it’s free.
So locking down is “scientific” the way Marxism is scientific. “It sounds good and gives us power, and makes you listen to our psy-ops via TV 24/7.
What? You think I’m cynical?
Maybe so, but I still find it impossible to take seriously a virus that communicates in churches but not pot dispensaries, in a restaurant, but not in Wal-mart, in a small construction material store but not home depot; to productive individuals, but not to the homeless who get to camp next to each other all over the now deserted cities; at the funeral of your own family, but not in the funerals of politicians where other politicians gather from all over and no one wears masks, at Trump rallies, but not at Slow Joe’s Faux victory party. Etc. etc. etc. I also find it hard to believe we need to lock down to stop this virus, when Zeke Emanuel is promising the US developed vaccine first to third worlders. (Which btw, have suffered almost nothing from this virus, another thing that makes you go “uh” and wonder how much our numbers are massaged, no?)
(On the homeless seeming immunity to this: I guess the progressives have rediscovered what Medieval people believed: a good layer of dirt and a good stink protect against viruses. Or maybe all of us should be on prophylactic doses of meth?)
NONE OF THIS IS SCIENCE OF ANY KIND. HOWEVER THE THING THAT HAS ME GOING WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE is the idea that six weeks (which we all know mean four years. I mean, we’re still in two weeks of lockdown) will cause the economy to recover.
In WHAT WORLD STOPPING ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND TAKING DOWN STORES AND RESTAURANTS IS PART OF RECOVERY?WHO IS BUYING THIS? HOW MUCH METH ARE THEY TAKING?
Oh, I do get what they want to do. As my boss at instapundit puts it, they’ll turn us all into beggars, because beggars are easy to please.
They think coming out of the next lockdown (a year, two? three?) they can face a tabula rasa economy and rebuild it according to their delusions and green pieties. And actually, being completely virgin of any economic knowledge and animated over all by will to power, they might think that they “scientifically” will build paradise on Earth. And if the kulaks and deplorables have all starved, and the rest are weak and destitute, even easier.
BUT my question is: how can any thinking human being believe this incoherent sh*t and think it is in any way helpful? ARE people by and large taking meth now, that they don’t see the consequences of this? I mean, the left isn’t even pretending anymore. You have to be rock bottom stupid or a psychopath to still support them.
And yet I suspect a lot of people I know who are “default left” are nodding along with this shit and if, G-d forbid, we get these people in charge, will be surprised at what happens and all too ready to blame the “right wing” wreckers and saboteurs when this disingenuous bullshit blows up in their faces.
It’s like I’m watching the devolution of intelligence and even the ABILITY to dissemble on the left, so that by next week they’ll be saying “We’re just going to take your children, and roast them with potatoes.”
And the population will be crying in joy and telling us we’re haters for not wanting this.
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how much longer I can take of this, before I start bitchslapping idiots in public.
I don’t deal well with irrationality. Why must I live surrounded by it?
I never wanted to live in interesting times. Of course, being born inn the sixties was definitionally a bad idea for this, and I’d like to know what I was thinking, except I don’t really believe in pre-birth existence, and this only confirms it. Because holy heck guys, I’ve done some pretty stupid things in my life, but choosing that time for my life would have been next level stupid.
The problem with this fargin mess we find ourselves in is that there is no “good” way out, only a less bad way out.
Either way, about half the population are going to think that there was cheating. (I actually don’t think near half if Trump wins, but heaven knows, the propaganda machine being what it is, it’s possible/) And either way there’s going to be disruptions and either loss of life or loss of everything life means.
I think there is a chance that if Trump wins this case in courts, the disaffected people will be closer to a quarter, because I think most of those who actually vote for the left do so for reasons other than conviction (being paid, being on drugs, social signaling, etc.) and there is also a non trivial number of faked votes (dead voters, etc. ) I don’t believe this because I disagree with them, or I think no one can be that stupid, (boy, let me tell you, there might be no upper limit to how stupid humans can be) but because their behavior betrays a certainty that …. um… “selling a corrupted product that doesn’t correlate to public tastes will have no negative consequences. I know this behavior because of publishing and the push marketing system. It is also the subject of my latest (sorry, subscription) PJM article.
I can, I think, quote the relevant part, though:
However, they also seem to be insulated from the need for votes, which are the currency (in a representative republic) in which political ideas get “paid.”
So, for instance, they can run around saying things like they’ll provide free health care for illegal immigrants, or that the most important thing ever is Global Warming, issues that completely fail to find traction with the great majority of the public, outside very wealthy (and insulated) upper classes. Or as someone put it in 2016 “They’re running as if the US were a country slightly to the left of Sweden.”
And the right looks at the voting results and thinks “Oh, it’s all those gosh darned young college graduates.”
While there’s an endless supply of boneheads, the left has spent most of the last 40 years creating them, and they still snap out of it by thirty, and don’t vote much before that. Which is why the left thinks it would be wunderbar to lower voting age to 16.
But the truth is that the left keeps spiraling further and further left, i.e. what impresses radical socialist chic matrons. So this year they ran as if they were running in the USSR in the 70s.
I think that’s because they’re completely insulated from the results. Because there’s a certain amount of fraud baked in.
This is why Biden can promise to lock us in for three months, and then to work mostly on keeping the Earth from baking and still come close to winning.
It’s also why on a local level, my governor, Paste Eating Polis can turn around after we defeated a measure to let homeless park in public spaces, and sign an executive order to do it.
The fix is in, with all vote by mail, so he doesn’t need to worry about what the peasants think. And we’re all racist, sexist and homophobic, anyway, and who cares if property values in downtown Denver tank? Look at his beautiful feels in having all these homeless in tents. And of course, voting for him with same day registration.
Seriously – even if we can’t prove it, it’s easy to spot the system is corrupt, and has been for a long time.
Let’s hope that Trump can prove it for this year and that in the wake of it our voting system gets cleaned to something that wouldn’t embarrass a corrupt African country.
So, with that in mind — and I think my reasoning is valid — the riots will, yes, happen either way (please, people on the right, if you don’t listen to the crazy woman who knows history in anything else, listen to me in this, commies lose ugly but win UGLIER. Whatever the outcome they’re going to burn, loot and murder, either way), but I think the number of people who lose faith in our system is not only way smaller if the left loses, but it will be mostly confined to the academic left, students and teachers alike, who derive great pleasure from being hard done by and claiming to be injured. Oh, and well off suburban women, ditto.
And Trump will clean the corruption that’s deep laid in, and after the voting fraud has been exposed, things will get at least somewhat cleaned up, and the world will go on. Yes, careers and reputations will die, which is why the left is fighting so hard.
This is the consummation I’m hoping for. It is also almost impossible because SO MUCH of their fraud is if not impossible to prove and expose, impossible to prove and expose by means the court will UNDERSTAND and account for.
Which means the stronger chance is that “president select Biden” the zombie selected and pushed by the elites and the technocrats worldwide will win.
And it will last maybe a few months, because they’re beyond f*cking stupid, and then… it will blow up. And the butcher’s bill and what comes after has me waking up screaming in the night.
What you need to understand, though, it’s that it’s not just us, who are going “Okay, I have had about enough of this.” The left in their panic, has run through several plans, and are now in a real, unreasoning panic.
Ignore the happy horsesh*t of their talk shows and the useful idiots (the operative word in this phrase is idiots) talking about how we can now be one big happy family. That’s the psyops.
Those who are even MINIMALLY aware are getting the wind up, because none of this operation has gone the way they expected. I was talking to a friend about this yesterday, and we both agreed that they’re not even in plan C anymore.
It’s like this. Plan A was to run a potemkin campaign, but it would be okay, because lockdowns would tank the economy, people always blame the president, and therefore Trump lost, automagically.
Only Trump did the press conferences, and Doctor Falsi notwithstanding, Trump’s popularity remained high.
Thus, plan B, and the demand for all mail in ballots, which could be all fraud, all the way down.
When that failed, and the Republicans refused to do the stimulus package that included provisions for all vote by mail and no ID or proof of citizenship ever, the left deployed plan C.
Plan C included the “patch” on dominium software and all the other crap — the not obvious, visible crap — with the idea some of it might be challenged, but no big deal, because they had the supreme court and they could always do a reverse of what they think happened in 2000, and have the supreme court put Biden in. They counted on RBG to do a ridiculous, off the cuff justification, like she always did, having zero to do with the constitution.
Meanwhile they were running plan D in the form of polls that would depress Republican turn out, coupled with scares to keep the old from voting in person (they’re always convinced for reasons known only to their psychiatrists that the very old are Republican. Since the very old listen most to the MSM it’s likely to be the very old are Democrats. But never mind.) Just in case.
RBG died, and Trump had the unmitigated gall to get a judge in before the election. So they couldn’t count on that, and were suddenly in plan E, screaming for people to go to the polls in person even that if they WERE POSITIVE FOR COVID because it was perfectly safe. (Which tells you exactly what to think of all the restrictions and lockdowns. It’s all political theater.)
But those plans failed, and Trump, without fraud, won in a massive landslide. So, what could the left do?
They expected to turn the Republicans against Trump, for Trump even daring question this. It almost worked too. My lot are a fickle lot, and behave like abused spouses who never had anyone fight for them. Just like spouses in that situation are likely to turn on their savior, some in our number tried very hard to turn on Trump. But not the majority.
Though the majority still has a sick feeling that Trump might give up, that’s just our lifetime of being betrayed, okay?
So, having fallen through all this, the left is now at plan G.
Plan G is more psyops. In their defense, they’re good at psyops. Really good. And they just pulled the covidiocy by dint of media and social media and shutting up or dismissing people like me who pointed out that the numbers of the Diamond Princess gave us no reason to panic. (I mean, one of the reasons they dismissed that was that people in cruise ships had the best medical care. Which is like saying the laptop from hell has been debunked. It’s not true. It’s in fact glaringly false, but most people don’t know any better.)
So their psyops involves acting like Biden is inevitable, like there is no fraud, like Trump is insane, like the rest of us are conspiracy theorists, and oh, btw, like Trump is “hiding” and not communicating.
Yeah, okay, his twitter is more quiet than normal. One of my best friends is lawyer. I know because I’ve seen her get frustrated at people in the middle of court cases (not her cases) for talking in public about anything even peripherally related to the issue that the first thing lawyers tell you is to shut up about the case or anything related in public.
And yeah, he’s not doing five rallies a day. I’d guess his entire effort is going to exposing the fraud and figuring out how to clean the system whether or not he stays in. Besides, we can rally without him. We’ve proven that. (And the Trump trains are magnificent.)
But the press is reporting on it as “Trump emerges from hiding at the White House to–” I swear I saw that line in a mainstream article. And also, they have no imagination. They never did. Remember when Palin was running and they said her real ambition was not to win, but to “get a talk show” or “become a reality star.” And then of course they ran her off governor with lawfare?
Yeah. They’ve always said what Trump wanted was a bigger reality show. Now they say he wants to start a network to rival Fox, not to win the presidency, and this is all publicity. Their aim is to make the people on the right feel betrayed and isolated, something we have long experience of and turn on Trump, so he gives up.
Don’t fall for it. Yeah, none of this is certain, but don’t you dare fall for it. For one because what lies on the other side of this if they win the butcher’s bill STARTS at 2 million and might be ten times higher if compounded with famine and other issues.
So, stay strong, stay prepared.
Lay in supplies for a month. Check on the more vulnerable and scared members of the right. A lot of us spiral into depression anyway, regularly. Do what you can to make your space secure and your people safe. And yeah, this does come from someone in a blue city. I’m no end happy over this.
Because one way or another — and I shudder to think what their plan H is — things are going to get very, very interesting. “Interesting.”
Your duty is to survive and help restore the republic. Our hope is that this the gang that can’t shoot straight and always hurts themselves more than us.
But nothing is certain, and the storm approaches. The storm is almost on us.
Remember Heinlein. Be prepared. And keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.
The posting here will be a little weird for a few days. Yeah, I know it’s been weird for a week and a bit, because sleep disruption is weird, but it’s going to get weirder than that.
The problem is I’m still finalizing slides and hand outs, mostly because of that disruption thing. Also my body seems to have decided this is a wonderful time to come down with a cold. (Could be allergies. I haven’t gone anywhere in forever.)
So things here are going to be weird. I’ll try to do posts, but they might not be at any hours known to humans. (And not just because, as in the last week, I spent the entire day doing them and only posted at six or seven pm.)
RES had linked my post at PJM in the comments, the one that’s subscription. If he does that again, I’ll link it. I searched PJM and it seems to have vanished, which is ….. weird. It’s about how the corrupt market in the dem side, for political ideas reveals the fraud is long ongoing and more massive than we can guess.
And now I’m going to finish handouts and slides, since I’m teaching in four and a half hours.
She was going down a magic path, and then at the end there was a spindle, and she’d pricked her thumb. She remembered dad reading about it, when she was very small and sat on his lap.
No. She’d never touched a spindle in her life. She’d been in the car, driving with mom to take things to her college dorm–
I’ve been gaming stuff in my head, mostly in the middle of the night, when I can’t sleep. (Though I wish to brag that last night I managed FIVE hours! Whoo! [Struts])
It’s actually not unusual for me to game out stuff in my head, though usually not at the national level. More at the field/industry/individual level. Sometimes for books, sure, but more often for real life.
There are several things you have to remember when gaming out any situation in your head, particularly one as complex as the one we find ourselves into — extending at least 100 years back and probably more, and in space over a vast and very complex land — that this is not a novel. If this were a novel, the rather apocalyptic vision I had last week would be true.
In fact, the hardest thing possible is to get ourselves away from all the narrative we’ve been fed, from the cradle, some of it in the form of “real history” which wasn’t.
The left is in the grip of a very powerful narrative, for instance, which has been taught to them as history: the whole Marxist insanity of the war of the classes (there are no real “classes” in the Marxist sense, and the fact they refused to go to war is what brought us the entire insanity of the Gramscian reboot of Marxism, in which the proletariat was now supposed to be other races, and countries far away. Bah.) and the ultimate revolt and win of the “exploited.”
They were taught this complete falafel as history, and have seen it working out on screen in movies and documentaries on the various “glorious revolutions” from France to Russia (I don’t think there have been many about China, because even to us that’s just wrong.)
So they think that the upper class oppresses the masses, till the masses rise in a glorious wave and institute freedom, equality and reasonably priced love.
None of that picture is right. You have to step back A LONG LONG LONG way and squint for it to fit kind of the general movements, but none of the causes are right, and the results are not what they have been sold either.
I mean, usually revolution happens when the pressure lets up and things are getting better, and the result of anything Marxist is often worse than the oppression before, etc.
But more importantly they haven’t been taught how those glorious revolutions were sustained. Yes, yes, they think this time they’ll do it right, but the thing is that nothing about the end of a Marxist revolution is even functional, and that all of them that subsist as regimes do so only as parasites. But more on that later.
For now suffice it to say that everything the left has been doing is out of that narrative. They’ve been trying to get the right to play along with what they think is the inevitable course of history since Obama’s administration, which frankly was the beginning of the leftist movement I’ll call academic left taking over the entire party.
Obama’s understanding of society and of other human beings was that of a college freshman, which is why so many of his unguarded ideas like higher taxes being bad for the economy but good for people, or his imposition of Obama care, or his printing money in overtime — standing astride the economy hitting it in the face with money to prevent it rising — to his making it NASA’s primary mission to make the Muslims feel better about their culture, or… well, all of his faux brilliance, had the feel of a freshman late-night bull season in the dorm. “What’s wrong with you know, the war on terror, is that what we need to do is bolster their cultural confidence, you know? [inahling sound] … Man!” Or “We need more positive rights, like everyone gets a house and food and can work or not[deep inhaling suck] Pass the bong man, you’re boggarting the oxacan ditchweed!”
This movement, encompassing Obama and his entire administration, lock stock and screwed up barrel, is composed in its entirety from people who were at least upper middle class and never had to work one day at anything that mattered in their lives. As such, they really don’t know much about life or history or people, except what they’ve read in books.
Instead of thinking of words as ways to describe reality, they think of words and feelings as ways to create reality.
So Obama, as the good little red diaper baby he is, tried to create the great big revolution by inciting, financing, probably starting Occupy Wall Street. Because in his narrative-addled mind the proletariat SHOULD be rising.
And just like, oh, someone giving a broody chicken a doorknob to sit on, he got the brilliant idea that encouraging astroturf of the angry proletariat would show those idiot bitter clingers lacking his excellent Marxist education what to do. So he seeded OWS in every major city, after telling bankers he was the only thing standing between them and pitchforks.
And he waited. For the revolution that would crown him king.
Instead he got the tea parties good and hard, because the people who actually worked, did things, and made the world go round had had just about enough of his sh*t.
The thing is the left hasn’t given up on this Academic Socialism.
Because they’re so convinced the narrative is right, and why shouldn’t they be, since it pervaded everything from their first formal learning, to the movies they watch for fun, they act like a cult in danger of discomfirmation, and double down, which is how we get Occasional Cortex and the Green Nude Heel.
The thing to remember is that we too have been brought up with this narrative. We don’t view them as the oppressed or their revolution as glorious, but we expect them to win and take full control and stay in control forever.
We see 1984 as a nightmare, they see it as a training manual.
But no one growing up in this culture in the last 100 years can see it for what it is without stepping way back and taking facts into account. And what it REALLY is is impossible.
This is what I realized in the middle of the night. We say things — casually — like “all socialist regimes, absent outside intervention seem to last 70 years or so.”
What we don’t take in account is that this is true, but there’s a little publicized and absolutely necessary bit for them to last that long: there needs to be a healthy non-socialist regime that produces enough food to give them (or nominally sell them) in vast quantities; to innovate and supply them with better technology; and to at the very least refrain from destroying them, if not outright defend them.
Even the soft socialism of Europe and their less drastic version of the Green Nude Heel which the softer (headed) socialists in the US view as their beau ideal survives ONLY because the US subsidizes them MASSIVELY. And not just in defending their heads-up-butts polities. Oh, no. We subsidize them by the simple fact that we produce SO MUCH food that they can buy the surplus, again at nominal amounts. They survive because we innovate better and cheaper ways to do things. They survive because we even produce the more expensive things like entertainment that keep their populace amused. (And unfortunately teaches them to hate us as Hollywood does.)
NO socialism is possible without massive outside help, without a vastly wealthy and mostly free country to leach from. And the fact that we sustained the USSR and are sustaining socialism in Europe, while understandable in its own terms, and given what we knew and the geo politics at one time, is in the end a horrible act of evil, for which I hope we may eventually be forgiven.
But the Academic Socialists don’t understand that.
To be fair, in the long list of things they don’t understand, that one is minor and almost endearing. For instance in the covidiocy lockdowns, which were dreamed up and demanded by the class-that-would-be-rulers, we found they had no clue where food comes from; they didn’t know that food needed to be transported across the country; they had absolutely no idea that our food production is dependent on very sophisticated machine parts, so they didn’t take that into account when declaring essential businesses and services; they had absolutely no clue you can’t close a shop or a restaurant indefinitely and then just open up like it’s nothing….
In fact, in the vast number of things they don’t know, I’m having trouble finding one they DO know. The only thing they seem cognizant of is that if they lie loud enough and often enough, and tell people they need to do this FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S SAKE the American people will comply with the most absurd sh*t. So, for instance you don’t tell them that leftists are exempt from wearing masks and not having gatherings, etc.
HOWEVER they think they can do that forever, and they also think — with almost autistic fervor — that if the economy is bad, people turn against the president. And they don’t understand most of the people saw it was the left driving the lockdown. Which is why Trump got an actual landslide, which the dumb bunnies weren’t counting on. Whatever level of fraud (“the most unprecedented”) they’d planned to crown their potemkin campaign with, it rested on the idea they’d get a basic number of votes from their captives, and also that people wouldn’t go out and vote for Trump, since the economy was hurting.
Because among the many things they don’t know is how humans work. Or at least not humans who live in the real world, where you have to earn your bread through the seat of your brow. So how could they have anticipated we wouldn’t react like a computer program and respond to a certain input with a certain output? (Which suddenly explains their fascination with “models.”)
I don’t mean to rag on them, not really. They were raised very wealthy in a society and class wealthy enough to insulate them from real world consequences, so all they have to fall back on is what they were taught, which at this point is the dreams of others like them for the last 100 years.
And as I said, in some things, despite my effort to extirpate it, I find myself thinking in their memes. Because I was trained professionally in their milieu and amid them, and like anyone with a graduate degree had an extra dose of Marxism served straight up.
The only thing that saves me, to an extent, was growing up in the village where everyone, even my family, was subject to the laws of root, hog or die. And, of course, having had several moments of wakening.
My son was telling me about this — younger son — how most people on the right have had to come to their beliefs on their own, and how it usually happens either with a series of minor shocks, things that don’t fit the theory, or that should be good according to the theory, but actually turn out evil or with one major thwack wake up shock. 9/11 was that for a lot of people, and weirdly this election is having that effect on those who either aren’t straight up psychopaths, or who look outside the main sources of propaganda, even accidentally. (Which is why Twitter and Facebook are taking their censorship efforts to the next level.)
So I was gaming all this in my head, in the middle of the night, and kept coming back to: there is no way we get out of this without a butcher’s bill. None.
Best case scenario, Trump fixes the fraud, gets four more years (yes, probably the court. And stop saying Trump should be on twitter telling you what he has. Have you guys NEVER been in a court case? first thing the lawyers say is SHUT UP.) And the left goes insane. Being idiots they’ve “gamed” this in advance and decided that the next step is for blue states to secede.
Which fills me with no end of joy, since I live in one.
But the thing is, I don’t think it goes the way they think it will. Hell, given they’re not even living in the real world, that’s guaranteed. But I don’t think it goes in either of the two ways they think it will, which is either they get to play socialist republic and show the world how it’s done, or bad evil orangemanbad crushes their glorious revolution and proves that he’s evil, and then the people rises as one–
I am honestly afraid that Trump is evil enough to let it play out, as he has done so far with the left destroying their own cities. But I don’t think they realize what that means in terms of food or energy or…. Yeah. Or the fact that most of the states that are nominally blue aren’t really, and there’s some (possibly massive) amount of fraud involved. Such as in mine which only went blue after all vote by mail.
But in either case it doesn’t last.
And if G-d forbid they get power over the country it really doesn’t last. Because they have clue zero that people aren’t widgets. They will try to move us around on the board, and it won’t work.
Part of the problem is that now their ideal and model is China, and they fail to get that the Cultural revolution worked in China (I mean in terms of Mao keeping power, and the vast massacres which they dream of) because Mao was dealing with not just a disarmed population, but with people who were part for centuries of a compliant culture. And that for their cultural markers, Mao read as “new emperor. Kowtow.”
America is none of those things. Even though the Republicans suffer from abused wife syndrome, there’s a hard-headed “I’ll fix it” among those who do the actual work.
If they seize power I predict they get a year and probably less. Make no mistake, they instinctively expect SOME revolt. Which is why Biden in his “made for Hollywood faux acceptance speech” announced three new wars. This both keeps the military they know (which are only the very top, and very political officers) happy, because it makes them relevant, but also gets the armed people who might not like their dictatorial commands out of the country. They are of course forgetting the many millions of armed veterans who took an oath to the republic.
But the problem is that even in a year, as we found in 2020, they can break things that will take decades to fix.
In either case, there’s a butcher’s bill. There’s people’s who will die, in either strife or hunger, of either problems that the medical establishment suddenly lacks the resources to treat, or of cold (as someone in the snow belt, the Green Nude Heel and the idea we can just have two hours of electricity a day also fills me with joy) or of heat, or of a hundred other things that haven’t visited our society for at least 100 years.
But, and this is very important to keep in mind: We can lose, but they can’t win. Because what they want to install has never worked, ever, not even in more compliant nations and when run by people far, far smarter and more practical than the Academic Socialists.
The important thing is what comes after. If it all tips in the pot, there’s more than a trivial chance we end up with a dictator, though I expect it will be something in the mold of a Franco, seizing the reins until he can let go.
Unfortunately I don’t like dictators, even temporary ones. But it might be the best case scenario, honest. And even in that best case scenario, the restoration of the republic depends on our reclaiming the culture as fast and hard as possible. Because in Spain this didn’t happen and they came out of dictatorship only to whore themselves to the EU.
It shouldn’t be hard. The left really isn’t competent, and have wounded themselves near fataly with the covidiocy. Hollywood and trad pub are hurting, and now, in their attempts to herd us, Facebook and Twitter are in the process of committing rather public suicide.
But it is work. Long, constant work. And as hard as we can.
In all those scenarios we need to pierce through the veil of Marxist narrative, and remove it, if we want to restore and/or keep the republic
Because these promises of heaven on Earth are as corrosive as they are false.
So, even though I expect if we really drop in the pot and things really get bad I won’t have very long, given my general issues, (and it doesn’t matter. The Republic does) I think I figured out why G-d or my subconscious, or whatever you want to call it, was pushing me to write fiction as hard and as fast as possible.
If only I hadn’t been too depressed by being tied in the strands of leftist narrative.
But better later than never.
The boot — or even the Green Nude Heel — isn’t going to stomp on the human face forever. We’re going to punch it aside and break it, with substantial help from reality. And then we’re going to fix the damage.
And now I — whoo, whole five hours of sleep — am going to go write fiction.
You too go do what you can, from earnest discussions, to casual remarks to, yes, fiction and music and art.
The storm is coming, but it will pass, and if we work really hard, the Republic will abide.
The left couldn’t afford a mirage. They thought we’d have one, but they couldn’t afford one, and they were jealous.
So everything you’re seeing is JUST a blue smokescreen.
It’s not very good. perhaps Hollywood circa 1930. But they are loud and ubiquitous and we are tired and scared of the danger we see the Republic is in. And none of us want socialism, or communism, because we’re not stupid, and we know history.
But the thing is, as someone told me in 2004, the louder and more triumphalist the left gets, the more they’re losing.
He’s never been proven wrong.
Anyway, this is my post about my sudden insight. It’s at PJM:

Like all Private Detectives, Seamus Lebanon [Leb] Magis has often been told to go to Hell. He just never thought he’d actually have to go. But when an old client asks him to investigate why Death Metal bands are dressing in pink – with butterfly mustache clips – and singing about puppies and kittens in a bad imitation of K-pop bands, Leb knows there’s something foul in the realm of music. When the something grows to include the woman he fell in love with in kindergarten and a missing six-year-old girl, Leb climbs into his battered Suburban and like a knight of old goes forth to do battles with the legions of Hell. This is when things become insane…. Or perhaps in the interest of truth we should say more insane.
Vignettes by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.
So what’s a vignette? You might know them as flash fiction, or even just sketches. We will provide a prompt each Sunday that you can use directly (including it in your work) or just as an inspiration. You, in turn, will write about 50 words (yes, we are going for short shorts! Not even a Drabble 100 words, just half that!). Then post it! For an additional challenge, you can aim to make it exactly 50 words, if you like.
We recommend that if you have an original vignette, you post that as a new reply. If you are commenting on someone’s vignette, then post that as a reply to the vignette. Comments — this is writing practice, so comments should be aimed at helping someone be a better writer, not at crushing them. And since these are likely to be drafts, don’t jump up and down too hard on typos and grammar.
We are in risk of losing the republic. And if we lose it it’s going to be very hard to claw our way back. It could take centuries. So I’m going to suggest we don’t lose it. I’m going to suggest we refuse to stop being Americans. In fact, I’m suggesting we become so American they can’t hold us, and have to vomit us forth whole.
They want us? They don’t know what they want. They want to be our rulers? Do you know that the US is the only country in which presidents age 10 years per year in office? (Which means Joey the pedo, Xi’s turtle boy, will be a mummy in two months.) And do you know how much more they’d age and how much harder it would be if Americans, instead of trying to be good and cooperative and productive citizens, just went out of their way to be obstinate pains in the ass?
This is something we the people can do. Something that doesn’t depend on courts, or institutions, and which is not the fourth box. G-d knows it might yet come to the fourth box (the magic eight ball tells me “it’s almost inevitable”) but perhaps not. And if it does, maybe we can be in a position of strength when the music starts to play.
And yes, I’ll explain:
If the election results stand, despite obvious, obscene, skirts-up fraud on the street, in front of G-d and everyone (And please tiresome trolls, go here and read this, and learn to count above five. And stop trying to comment. I’m just going to spam you. Tell Comrade Xi he doesn’t pay you enough. Even better, kick him in the balls. Be a little American, you. Learn from Hong Kong.) and if they sit Gropey China Joe and Commie LaWhorish, I expect war by July, but it could take a year or more. Only because our side is slow to anger. On the other hand — and the left might want to remember this — we are ACTUALLY very thorough when we flip over. Y’all cosplay revolution. We just get pissed and steamroll everything. Remember that. It won’t be pretty.
The problem is if they have at least nominal power, they will have at least some of the armed forces. Which means the conflict will go on forever. Unless we soften the hell out of them, first, and give them nervous breakdowns. (Which is not as hard as it seems, since most of them are extreme neurotics.)
If OTOH Trump carries this in the courts, the left is going to try to amp up the sort of shit they’ve been doing for the next four years and burn the country down and destroy our economy, unless we let them have their little red wagon and fifty scoops of commie cream.
One way or another, we need to fight them. We. Us. Right now. On the ground. And not with bullets.
I confess until this morning I was in flat despair over how to do it, until Larry Correia, bless him, threw off an off-hand comment:
“Yet while I watched this, Twitter kept deleting the accounts sharing the file list. They’d block somebody, and then ten minutes later someone else would share it and get blocked too. In the half an hour or so I scrolled through dead voters the people sharing the list kept vanishing. It was kind of amazing to watch real time. But one would get blocked and somebody else would take their place.If the thing that saves America from turning into a cyberpunk dystopia run by ruthless tech oligarchs… is 4chan… I’m gonna laugh because I truly did not see that coming. : )”
Larry Correia
I’m not sure about the history of 4chan BUT it is an American thing. Sure, it’s all over the world, but it works like America only crossed with where the devil goes potty, of course. Like them we’re autistic, we’re broken, we’re irreverent, we’re unique among the nations of the world. And that’s what we need to play to.
A lot of you play various forms of RPG. I don’t. Not because I disapprove of it, but because I never had the patience to do it and because the one game I played “felt” too much like writing, and NO ONE pays me to play these, while they pay me for books. (If you want to pay me to play RPG I’m willing.)
But I think those of you who play RPG will agree: The monster always has a flaw. It might be a stupid flaw, like you need to hit it on this one dime-sized spot behind the left ear. BUT THE MONSTER ALWAYS HAS A FLAW.
And here I must smack all of you, and me too, because we forgot to be Americans these last four years, and we tried to fight the monster on its terms. That’s the way to lose. That’s the way to ALWAYS lose.
For four years, while we held the presidency and one house, we acted like losers, and screamed because we let the bureaucrats pull our strings and get under our skin. NO MORE.
The left’s flaw is a mile wide. No, seriously. We don’t see it, because we don’t fully understand them, the way they don’t understand us. We’re better at predicting them, but we look at them and go “How would someone get so fucked up.”
Well, that’s a subject for an entire dissertation, but what you need to GET this are two keys:
a) They are more social than us. FAR MORE SOCIAL. They take their cues from where they perceive the herd to be. And they’ll accept all sorts of bizarre things, for the warm fuzzies of belonging. They’d rather be miserable with the group, than happy alone. They might not understand “happy alone.” (Even though they have an image of themselves as low heroes. ALL OF THEM. Go figure.) This is why there are no decentralized movements on their side. There must be a leader to follow. To be outside the group is their biggest fear.
b) They never had to think about their positions. To stay on the left, because they’ve controlled the culture so long that to be on the left, all you have to do is coast along, taking what professors and authority figures tell you as revealed truth. This means their opinions are very vulnerable. We read their sites — though it needs blood pressure medication — but they want ours shut down, because they can’t stand any intellectual challenge to a system they didn’t reason themselves into. And they can’t let go of the system, because it would destroy them to be outside the group.
Their flaw is composed of exactly that. They can’t imagine anyone not acting like them. They think the things they do cause them to be liked and belong, or to intimidate some horrifying — but always laughably weak — other. IOW they take themselves VERY VERY VERY seriously. They’re important people, doncha know. And the rest of us would be like them if we were as smart as they are. Their biggest flaw is their self importance, their utter seriousness, and their stupid inability to see that others are different from them.
Look, Zombie Biden and his handler Roundheels McClownLaugh want to take us into — duh — a Chinese like system of credits and silencing, and gullags and the whole panoply of horrors of the Fascist mind.
Do you ever wonder why Fascism took so well in Germany and China? Compliant population. (Communist terror is different, but that also requires a different type of mentality. And yes, the idiots think they’re communist, but as we found out under Obama, they’re mostly fascist.) That’s cultural. And we don’t have it. Though we’ve been much too nice for too long.
So, be American. See, I was in Portugal when checking speed by radar was introduced. The entire extent of their non-compliance (and Portugal isn’t precisely law abiding, itself) was the blinking lights of drivers on the other lane to warn you. In the states? My husband had a little thing on his dashboard that warned him to slow down because radar was being taken.
Someone had designed this thing to circumvent enforcement measures. SOMEONE HAD SOLD IT. It was in every catalogue at the time. And the populace GLEEFULLY embraced it.
All of the fascist (well, commie too) enforcement and spying services call for constant surveillance, total vision into what you do on line, and who you hang out with, and what you read.
What actually is wrong with you people with tech knowledge? I need a software spoofer that shows them every day first thing in the morning I visit the Daily Worker. At noon I read the Nation. And I post comments at whatever the heck antifa uses to organize.
I’m sure a few of you geniuses can do that.
What about those who aren’t very techy? What can we do?
Well, you know, kiddies, the problem we face is that most of the populace SIMPLY doesn’t follow politics. They don’t. They just see a digest and THINK this means that it’s all above board, etc. I mean, they see the election map and think it’s real, and that it must be absolutely true.
So? Make doggerel verse. Find out how to rhyme something with Commie Lawhorish and laptop from hell, and election fraud. For extra credit make a stamp or stickers. Put them on phone poles. Put them on bus stops. You have to use a public toilet? Put it there. Let the knowledge penetrate from below. It doesn’t even have to be very funny. People tend to startle-laugh at those who speak the forbidden.
Oh, and Joe Lying and Commie LaWhorish are going to lock down the country and take the economy down for three months. Which should finish us off. Don’t let them finish us off. Seriously. This can go anywhere from refusing to obey stay at home orders (do you know how easy it is to fake the essential work papers? I mean most are printed on a home printer. And you can put a phone # on them that’s a buddy’s who will vouch for you.) to creating an underground economy. This is hardest, btw. for distributing food, but we’re more or less managing it now. Find a local rancher or farmer. And create networks of friends till you find one.
And while this might seem like an odd time to start a business, it is the perfect time. For instance younger son and I are going to start a non fic, subscription only site, where there will be something every day of the week (Off on weekends) by one of us. And I’m goinng to make a subscription only site for my earcs for fiction. Some of you have said you’d subscribe to the daily output? Well, you might end up reading three novels in chunks, at once, but you’ll be able to do it.
What can you do that you can make money from? Most Americans have more hobbies than you can shake a big stick at, from handywork to oh filk. (BTW a filk about Commie LaWhorish and Zombie Joe and the election heist would be hilarious. Also, who knows, people might pay or send you a tip for it.) And if the stores are going to be closed, we can spin our own, right? DO IT. START NOW.
Have you ever seen a two year old who doesn’t want to go somewhere being carried by a parent? The parent is almost ten times that kid’s size, but if the kid is determined, the carrying can become living hell.
That’s what I want you to do. They want power so badly, and they think we’ll be compliant sheep?
Borrow a motto from Hong Kong and be like water. Be funny, be fluid, move from thing to thing, frustrate their attempts at tracking and controlling us.
Start NOW. Start by disseminating the story of Grand Theft Election in cartoon and song, in meme, in funny rhyme and dramatic play that reveals just what corrupt and ridiculous the hell spawn who’d rule us are.
Be the first kid on your block to give the left a “curl on the floor in the fetal position crying tears and snot” mental breakdown. Do it today.
No power on Earth can make you be compliant and gentle and sweet.
So don’t.
BE AMERICAN. With both feet. And as hard as you can.
All through the lead up to the election, everyone told me if we have a big enough margin, their fraud will be obvious, and then it will be stopped.
We’re here now. WHY IS ANYONE PRETENDING THIS IS NORMAL?
The fraud is OBVIOUS. Really obvious. I’ll be honest, it’s been really obvious for decades, but it’s now in plain view of everyone.
But because the left disseminated that WE’d say there was fraud, the f*king stupid duckies are buying it and falling in line.
I’ll be honest, if people ON MY OWN F*CKING side don’t stop patting their backs about how great it is that we have a divided government again, I’m going to rip their arms off and beat them to death with them. (And this is why I’m not on the PJM live blog right now, because I’d go profane.)
Yeah, because the GOP was so good at fighting back without Trump. And will be without Trump. And President Ho won’t start truth and justice tribunals on Trump and all his associates. And she won’t use a pen and a phone.
HAS EVERYONE LOST THEIR F*CKING MINDS? Asking for a friend inn a saner reality.
Yeah, I get it. People like to pretend there’s no fraud, because that allows them to think things are still working and so are “normal.” (The “new normal”, you know, the one where kindly uncle Joe locks us all up and makes us all wear the face rag of submission. Because Winnie the Flu is going to kill us all, and also, oh, yeah, the Earth is basically baking.)
People want to go about their lives, and live and do their things. Good Lord, you think I don’t want that?
But the fraud is not normal. The fraud is at levels none of us actually knows if more than a few insane people voted for Joe and the Ho. (Yeah, I know that moniker is my ticket to the re-education camps. Molon Labe.)
Any moment now, they’re going to declare Nevada for Lying Biden, a man that without the fraudulent help of his party never got more than 1% of the vote for any national office (except when tied to the clean and articulate black man, as he would say.) A man who is now deep in the throes of dementia and whose running mate is a communist. And then the media, and the deep state, and probably a lot of columnists on the right will start talking about how unseemely it is for Trump to keep challenging the results. Or the SC will think it’s in the best interests of the nation to not hear the case. (Sometimes I think they all take mescaline, all the time.)
And then what?
Because at that point, America is DONE. It no longer exists. And none of the electorate, but those hooked to big brother’s boob tube 24/7 can believe that voting will make any difference.
And seriously, guys, it’s NOT a matter of Trump. IT REALLY ISN’T.
He is our flag of how pissed off we are, and he has unique abilities, but really, it’s not “we must make Trump president.” The left will think so, because they’re f*cktards (yes, sorry, that word will be used a lot because it’s that kind of day.) who project their emotions onto us. Specifically they tend to cult of personality, so they think we do too.
But this is not about Trump. This never was about Trump. And btw, inchoate and often grabbing hold of the wrong philosophy by the shirttail, the “deplorables” and “chumps” the world over are rebelling. Those who don’t agree with the agenda of the global elites have been revolting for the last 4 years, nonstop. You don’t know that, because the media won’t report it.
Kind of like they don’t report the multiple, glaring acts of fraud all over the country. and have now seized on “if a reporter says it didn’t happen, it’s disproved.” (F*cking psychotic high priests of Marxism. Couldn’t they just be respectable satanists?)
So, it’s not about Trump. What is it about?
Well, the left has been frauding a LONG time. No, really, DECADES. And they fraud all over the world (though less massively in countries that have some sort of A election security apparatus.) But they fraud there too. And everyone more or less knows. Also, they’re really good at rules lawyering their way to power.
So, what that has caused is this:
The left, untied from the voters, and not needing their approval, has gone more and more off the reservation. Those they are trying to impress are the rest of the international media and other Marxist theolo– theorists all over the world. And to do that, they keep going further and further left (which explains the f*ckdinglebells screaming “no borders, no wall, no America at all.” I.e. fighting for the dissolution of their own country.)
Honestly, I think the only thing that saves the republic, right now? Is a hard reset. It’s the Supreme Court saying “uh, no. This election is way too corrupted at every possible level. Electors will meet two months later. EVERY state must purge its rolls completely. All new sign up with proof of citizenship, and then a national day off, where EVERYONE votes. If you can’t vote in person, request a ballot x time in advance, and drop it here. NO MAIL. If you must be absent on the day, vote a day or two early. BUT shows us proof you can’t.” And then people would vote and there would be federal observers at every poling place. And the counting would be done in public.
THAT would restore our faith in the elections as a way to tell the will of the people. (And it’s my humble prediction the f*cking lunatic left wouldn’t carry a state. NOT A ONE.)
What are the chances of that? Judging by the preemptive surrender of my fellows on the right, probably none. The chances are they’ll pile on Trump to make him stop being “unseemly” and then they’ll go to work analyzing the election to prove that the only reason the red wave didn’t carry him to a second term is that he’s too “uncouth.” What we really need is someone like Pierre Delecto.
And then yeah, we’ll have divided government for two years. Except all the congress creatures will know the fix is in, so they’ll roll over for the left, so maybe one of their seats won’t be taken, and they’ll be part of the pet loyal opposition.
Is this what you want? Because it’s not what I want.
And the only thing that can stop it now, short of a full conflagration (which is still preferable to commies forever. Look at how out of control they’ve got under the semblance of an American system and imagine what they’ll do when unfettered and knowing they’re unfettered) it is time to STOP PRETENDING THIS IS NORMAL.
MAKE A NOISE PEOPLE. SPEAK OUT. Collect instances of fraud before they disappear down the memory hold.
Support Trump’s fight against the fraud. DO NOT STOP. DO NOT SHUT UP.
Trump trains, signs, banners, or just screaming online. Let them know we will not go quietly into that good night.
For now, it’s our best chance.
The new normal ISN’T and I refuse to play their psychotic games.
“How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?’

You can let the left fraud itself in, but you’ll eventually have to shoot your way out. In the dark, and half starved and frozen. DO NOT ACCEPT THEIR FRAUD AS NORMAL. AND REFUSE TO LET THEM FORCE YOU TO DO SO.
