First post. Been lurking on here since a couple of months prior to the so called "Election". I haven't been able to stay away ever since.
This is going to be a lengthy post, my apologies in advance for all of you ADHD/illiterate pedes.
To illustrate my plan of action I need to share a quick story.
Once upon a time my little brothers and I pissed away countless hours playing a computer game called "Master of Orion", circa 1997 I believe... Anyways... you start out on a remote planet and set out to advance your technology as fast as possible to colonize other planets in the galaxy. There are alien races you fight etc.. etc.. but it's actually a pretty based game.
So... there is a "Boss" in the game called the guardian. You never know what star he is hiding out on so eventually in the course of the game you stumble upon him he absolutely crushes you because you are so weak technologically. If you can beat the guardian, you instantly get huge upgrades in technology and weaponry. It usually takes forever if you are a dumbass like myself. My plan was always to build a huge ship which took forever and was only ever marginally effective since the guardian would usually vaporize me in one shot, no matter how badass I thought my ship was.
My little bro came up with a brilliant plan that worked every time. Instead of making one or a few bigger ships, he made the cheapest smallest ships available. They were weak as hell, no shields, only the lowest level laser weapon... but, you can manufacture them by the boatload. Guess what happens when the guardian goes up against 20,000 mosquitos with lasers?... He gets crushed.
Individually we can't do much. Collectively we can't be stopped.
Let's say for fun that there were 70-80 million Trump supporters... (aka people who just want to live their lives and have a somewhat non-corrupt government)
Lets say that 10% of those people are willing to get off their ass and actually do something to preserve their country from falling down the drain.
That leaves you with 7 million people that are willing to put their shoulder to the wheel.
That ends up being about 140,000 people per state. Imagine if we were organized...melting phones...writing letters... sitting in on legislation in person etc...
The way to cleanse this wound is through sunlight. We need to be all up in this action and hold these people accountable.
This is what I'm in the process of working out: Creating a website/App where people can volunteer for a few minutes per day to participate in a "laser focused" offensive to get our country back. The key is to make it easy and convenient. It will have to work even with glowies and shills trying to throw wrenches into the works. That is just the way it is.
I want to do it in a way so that participants can build credibility and maybe even win some cool prizes for involvement. People respond to incentives. Personally I think that not having to learn Mandarin Chinese and living in a somewhat free country where I can pursue my God given rights is pretty bitchin... just sayin...
I'm going to try to get a working model up and running for my area in WA state. If it's successful it will spread to other areas like wildfire.
I want to start having some bbq's etc so that we can get to know each other in real life. United we stand... Divided we fall. Glowies... be sure to BYOB. I'm sure not all of you are bastards. We need you too.
Imagine if your local representatives (dems and repubs) were getting calls every 5 minutes demanding a forensic audit of the paper ballots for weeks/months/years. vs all of us being pissed off and making a few phone calls all at the same time and cock blocking each other. Yeah... we get pissed off and vocal for a few days/weeks/months... but then what... they go back to business as usual.
Imagine if your local representatives (both dems/repubs) were getting paper letters, emails by the hundreds/thousands... every day for weeks/months/years.
Imagine if we had people on our team who could make sense of the thousands of pages of gibberish that is spewed out and written into laws that bind us as citizens.
Imagine if your part in that effort was only 15 minutes per week. Or an hour per week. Or an hour per day...
Imagine if it was as easy as clicking a number on your phone and dialing up the call to have your voice heard, knowing that a few minutes after your call someone else on your team was dialing up that same number and also MOVING THE LINE FORWARD, not just holding it. How glorious...
The first mission: full FORENSIC audit of the 2020 vote. Everywhere...
Next mission?... dunno... feeling cute... maybe term limits... insider trading rules for elected officials... corruption hearings...etc... etc... The sky is the limit.
Full disclosure. I am a dumbass. I actually think that this can work. I would rather go down fighting than clutching my pearls and bitching about how the election was stolen. The writing is on the wall. This only gets worse.
We need to organize this shit. Imagine if we were in alignment financially and politically. GAME OVER, ( or should I say Gamestop lol!!!). We can't wait for someone else to save us. We are the cavalry.
To all the haters and doubters... I get it. Come up with your own best course of action and do it. Don't waste time tearing each other down.
Also for the record we have the best memes. They are medicine for my troubled heart. Meme on if that is all you can do.
Thanks for making it through the text wall. It is a big can of worms, but the important thing is to start.
The solution is simple but will require effort. Even weak-ass lasers are better than nothing... lol
You're not just going to post a few memes like most of the rest of us???
This is a great idea and as you're fleshing it out you might try to work in the simple-task-simple-reward model employed so effectively by social media. Participants can get points/flairs/whatever for each call completed. Many may not care but it might motivate some to make just one more call each sitting and build up a snowball effect over time.
Oh, I'm going to try to drum up a few killer memes along the way, lol... I really miss all the Pinochete memes..
You are on point with the simple-task-reward model. "This is the way..."
Good post, keep us updated
I will.
I agree with what you are saying here. I think it is doable, but will be a ton of work for some people.
Yes, we need to eat the elephant a bite at a time. I'm not a computer nerd, but I know a few. We will try to "Engineer out" a lot of the mind numbing stuff.
Will follow, good analogy, and we need to keep waking people up, and get them on here when they start to awaken.
Also, have you checked these pedes out? https://828strategic.com/
I just checked them out. Definitely would be an important part of the puzzle. As we extract the cancerous reps we will need to backfill with based pedes.
Sounds a lot like political organizing / action campaigns that already happen. We can do that. Don’t know about BBQs. Last BBQ I attended was on Jan 6 and I still have heartburn
I'm in the process of looking around to see if there are any groups that have already solved this problem, it would be great if we can just wash rinse and repeat.
I think we've all still got heartburn from the 6th...
I like this idea, and in general the idea of an action-oriented app/site. I'm a dev, tinkering with some ideas too. Not ready to commit due to family/budget, but will likely do something soon. My main mental holdback is just the amount of moderation effort needed. I can't imagine the effort mods here have to put in, and I don't like the idea of ignoring my kids while I spending my weekend swatting lib flies off my app while I try to keep it current. Still, I see that as a fixable problem, and do want to do something along those lines. Keep us posted.
Good points. It’s a big can of worms, but good planning on the front end will make it manageable... I’ll keep you posted...
This is a great idea. I am in. I live in one of the stolen states and the legislature has set up a committee on election integrity but as far as I can tell they are only reviewing bills that would increase the fraud, such as allowing felons to vote (spoiler alert: they’re already voting with no consequences). I am determined to get a group together to be in the face of this committee every minute. My local county GOP chapter is based and they are useful. Would love a way to connect with more local pedes to fix this shithole.
Edit: also, I think the ruling class fears our numbers and that we might get the idea to organize against them. I think it is why they are going scorched earth to censor any patriots they can sniff out.
You hit the nail on the head. Ruling class is running scared. 100% agree on the scorched earth. We are already seeing it... They will paint us as enemies no matter what we do.
I just thought you would enjoy this OP: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/159511101?t=0h0m1s%2F%3Ftt_content%3Dtwitch_logo
Damn straight!!! That brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Holy mother fucking wall of text
If you look up tldr in the dictionary it will show you a direct link to this post
Yeah... I looked it up. Sure enough, It was there... didn't know those douchebags at wikipedia could move that fast. I'll try to just use bullet points on the next one... lol
I am very good at 20 minutes of laser focus every day. Count me in. Also, I make amazing macaroni salad and peanut butter streusel brownies for the bbqs.
Auntie F, 20 minutes of laser focus each day is proven to fry commie bastards to a crisp. Peanut butter streusel will definitely be needed on the front lines...
I would volunteer!
Cool. Do you have any mad skills? off the top of my head these will be some of the opportunities:
-Calling reps.
-Writing reps email.
-Writing reps snailmail.
-Attending legislation etc. in person and staring at the reps without blinking and making them nervous.
Reading legislation and breaking it down for the rest of us pedes into something digestible.
updating contact information for reps so that the calls/letters/emails can happen/keep happening.
Any other ideas on how pedes can help?
Commenting to be able to get back.
This needs to be stickied. Great post, pede!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I have talked to so many people in real life and lots of them want to do something, but no one knows what to do.
Just the feeling of being on a team and knowing that you are helping move the ball down the field would be good for our souls.
This is an insane time period and it's very unsettling to see the way things are developing.
not an app. apps need "stores", and apple and google control those
it has to be web, and a fixed IP for if DNS ever gets politicized
Good point. F the app stores. Secure platform that can't be arbitrarily switched off once we start winning.
also can't be name-brand cloud based. ask parler about that one
This has been percolating in my mind all day and it occurred to me it might be worthwhile to reach out to the armyfortrump webmaster as they had a very robust calling platform that might save some time... but now it just redirects to DonaldJTrump.com. I'll look around a bit tomorrow f to see if I can find contact info but it might be worthwhile to make a post asking if anyone here has it handy (or was even a part of the armyfortrump site).
Awesome! Percolation is where it's at. Collectively we can kick this problem in the dick.
I'm pretty sure that the walls are closing in on our ability to communicate freely so time is of the essence.
I've been thinking about this ever since the election and just hoping someone else would set it all up, it seems like such a basic game theory... Seriously... If we can get this off the ground... it will change the battlefield.
