They’re coming for you next: A Florida environmental non-profit canceled a student’s community service event because she had dared to write an article defending free speech and her decision to vote against the impeachment of a student senator simply because he had asked a valid question about a proposed bill allocating funds to a black student organization..
The student, Karoline Tyrrel, is also a student senator at Florida Gulf Coast University. Apparently she was one of only two senators to vote against impeaching that other senator for asking his question. As she wrote in her article,
“During the discussion, a respected senator stood up and asked a question. He’s known for asking tasking questions, which I greatly appreciate, as we are supposed to question bills, appointments, and more. The senator expressed his concerns of the bill description. He found terms such as “black excellence” to imply black superiority, and suggested a possible rephrasing of this one line, saying he believes that all races should be treated and held to the same level of excellence,” she summarized.
…The following week had talks of impeachment and removing him from his role because of his “racist” and “disgusting” comments,” Tyrrel added.
As a result, the student senator was one of two people who voted against impeaching the individual who asked the question, noting “many senators who I know ethically sided with the senator expressed their feelings to me, but when it came time to vote, all but one other person and myself voted to save their image.” [emphasis mine]
The non-profit then wrote her to cancel her volunteer event, stating that her article and vote “provoked diverseness.” The non-profit’s statement was intellectually dishonest to the extreme, in that in one sentence they claim they support diversity and inclusion, even as they in the very next sentence reject diversity and inclusion by blackballing her.
Meanwhile, the highlighted words in the quote above illustrate the main problem. I suspect a majority of the students were horrified by this call for impeachment, but most were too cowardly to stand up to the bullies and vote against it. Instead, they bowed their heads and violated their personal ethics so as to avoid causing trouble for themselves.
This cowardice is probably the biggest reason the blacklisting attempts by the left across America are working. People are afraid, and are also too timid to stand up to fight back.
As Burke said, “For evil to triumph good men need only do nothing.” Tragically we’ve got a lot of nothing going on right now. And its going to lead to a lot more evil.
That is the belly of the beast.

Is to doom like a bunch of losers who get Ego trips the few times their Doom turns out to be right this entire Presidency so far and do nothing but sip Mountain Dew and Eat Tendies.
Then a few of you blabber on about leaving for Argentina or trying to take over the AM radio station like your 1959 Counter Insurgency FM says, that is not fing realistic in 2020.
F that. I'll stop trying to save America and do a lot of winning besides when I'm dead and buried.
Go run away like a laughing loser to Argentina, they'll turn you over the moment the Feds show up and threaten to cut foreign aid or suspend Argentina from SWIFT, their own laws be damned. They're not going to have an economic crisis over a few doomers who think they went AWOL from the MAGA Army successfully.
Or your states equivalent. Most of these seats are appointments because NOBODY APPLIES. Literally no one. And they come with real power to make decisions about primary candidates, spending, policy of the State GOP.
If you've ever scratched your head and wondered how the GOP always chooses and backs RINOs, it's because many of these Seats go unfilled so RINOs end up appointing people who vote the way they want.
Our grandfathers took these positions in the days when people hung out instead of wanked it alone on the internet. One of the reasons things are going to shit is we're not doing our Civic Duty by participating in the process beyond voting and maybe sending a $20-50 check.
Do NOT leave the GOP. Vote like hell in the Primaries. Become a Committeeman and get involved. Third parties always lose, it's a way to marginalization. And if the 3rd Party starts gaining any steam? They'll put more barriers to entry to getting candidates on the ballot, so all money and effort goes to that instead of WINNING.
Much easier to take over the GOP.
Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war. - Gen. Patton
Sometime around 2000, in a usenet or forum debate: "Ha ! HA ! Right wing PARANOID IDIOTS! Gay Marriage is wrong? Listen Bozo, we just want it decriminalized, maybe we should have Civil Unions. But consenting adults should be free to have consensual acts in the PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN HOME. Nobody is going to teach about Homosexuality it to schoolkids, JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY DUMBASS! This country will never have GAY MARRIAGE and most DEMOCRATS are against it
WHAT?! Yes, I saw Silence of the Lambs, too, great movie. Look, There is NEVER going to be TRANSGENDER PROPAGANDA in Schools! That's just your crazy excuse to fight LIBERALISM AND RATIONALITY. SCIENCE knows Transgenderism is a MENTAL DISORDER. NOBODY, and no Democrat, would ever put one in a position of authority. Go back to your Young Earth Creationism with your KENT HOVIND Bullshit! . The only CROSSDRESSER ever in government was your hero J EDGAR HOOVER. What you sound want is more PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH spending to cure their MENTAL DISORDER. You and your SLIPPERY SLOPE FALLACY!
I'd be more worried that MANHATTAN WILL BE UNDER 3 FEET OF WATER in 20 YEARS, GUARENTEED! ALL the sciences say so, such as the IPCC!"
If in here, or in cryptic messages on other boards, POTUS told you what he intended, the Hoover Sales Reps & Buzzfeed Bluehairs would know within seconds and prepare.
This isn't the first time he's feigned weakness, disorder, etc. Remember the countless "White House in Bunker Mentality" or "The Beginning of the End for the Admin" or "Oval Office is complete disorder" stories - probably leaked with his blessing - have come out in the past 4 years? Way before COVID and the Perfect Phone Call?
When people show you who they are or how they work, BELIEVE THEM. That goes for GOP Establishment wimps as well as Trump.
Trust the Trump, You Don't Know the Plan.
Given his attitude about guns and freedom and government, what do you think?
Is change you shopping habits. Buy at flea markets and farmers markets. The prices at the latter are cheaper than you think, esp. outside heavy Yuppie areas. You will get to know the family that grew the food and the lady who makes the soap and the dude who fixes old washing machines.
If our ancestors stormed Normandy and survived Valley Forge, we can spend an extra hour shopping each week to beat down Walmart, Target, Amazon.
Buy used stuff over Chinese Crap. When buying a big appliance, research to find out if the "American" manufacturer is 90% Mexico/China while the Korea/Japanese/EU might very well do 50% of the work in the states (Cars, Appliances, etc.)
And Pay Cash!
Hoover Sales Reps: "Hello, friends. You should meet my friend, Professor Strzok who is a chemist. Like us, he's Right on and completely maced.
I'll be in the State Capitol open carrying on the 17th. Join me! It'll be totally tubular, right my fellow MAGA caterpillers?"
Blackpill/Doomer Know-it-all: "As I said across the internet for years, I am so freakin' smart and I called everything decades ago back when Alex Jones was still shredded, there is no hope but bow down to my cynical pronouncements and recognize me as a Prophet. Abandon HOPE all ye who enter here!"
Blackpilled Vendor: "As I said, I am a Prophet. Buy my $149.95 Survival Pack with 3 1/8th ounce packets of heirloom tomato seeds, a dollar store lcd flashlight, and my 20-page PDF about how right I was. I'll even throw in a P-38 real American Stainless Steel can opener to sweeten this amazing bargain $149.95 product! Storm's a comin'!"
Entryist '88: "There is no hope through a cucked democratic system that allows Joggers and Skypes to control our minds. Hitler dindu nuttin' wrong. Only a maximum leader can stop the Israel's control of the USA via their Kosher Chinese allies."
Basic voters: "Even though we saw a landslide election in 6 states totally stolen, and another Georgia Special Election the exact same things happened after the state GOP leaders refused to act, we can totally win in 2022 and 2024 via elections. Nevermind RINOs like Lt Gov of GA Duncan have already sacked 4 MAGA Republicans from their chairmanships and other state GOPe are doing the same. And McCarthy refuses to take Cheney out of her GOP House Chairmanship."
Hopium Distributors: "Shit is really weird, nothing makes sense - unless Trump ain't going anywhere. Trump is gonna be the next President!"
And I'm down with the Hopium. 4 MORE YEARS!
