Would it help if we explained that The Enlightenment, the philosophy that inspired this nation's founding, also is what inspired the end of slavery in Western nations?

It is still possible that the truth of the stolen election comes to light, and the will of the people forces a proper reckoning.

It is still possible for the military to intervene, and there are actually reasons to think that's still alive.

It is still possible that we lose this current battle, but are able to mount enough defense that they can't seize total power and we dominate the polls in 2022.

A lot is still possible. We can argue about the plausibility, but I'm resigned to not having a freakin clue as to how this ends.

I see where you're coming from, and I don't necessarily disagree.

However, you're describing my position as one coming from a position of weakness.

Quite the contrary, I am saying screw these treasonous bastards! We keep the whole damn country and banish their entire cult from our shores forever. That's the only just outcome.

I'm in SoCal. Trolling Libtards is a full-time activity here that demands every tool in the arsenal. There are still a few that I haven't driven batch*t crazy yet.

Oh, I see that possibility and it scares me to death. I just see other possibilities that I see as being more plausible. I hope I'm right.

I like where you took that thought. Hell, we already have the Freedom Caucus and those guys have been pretty solid, although some of the Mark Meadows rumors are disturbing.

I think we are sometimes guilty of believing the Left's narrative. They are not as numerous as they pretend to be. I'm in California and this state is sure looking like it might be going red again. All we need to do is get them out of key positions and this state can normalize quickly.

Fair enough. The 3 I added that take money out of politics should also have broad appeal.

I'm not endorsing a 3rd party yet, but it's a conversation worth having. I'm still more inclined to reform the R part first.

As a former delegate to the National Convention of the Libertarian Party, I can attest that we don't want to go their route as some have suggested. Libertarians, as individuals are fine people. The LP though, has its share of grifters and con artists and its own form of corruption. If you can pick up that 5%, that makes a huge difference, and that Party is ripe for the plucking. Leadership has failed their voters consistently.

4. Outlaw Lobbyists.
5. Audit all politicians annually, especially once they leave office.
6. Get money out of politics.

There's plenty of good ideas, but the key is to appeal to not only Conservatives, but also the honest Dems that are still among us. Libertarians too, and they already support the ideas from the OP.

I understand your argument. Being Texan-born, I've always half-joked about my dual citizenship if Texas ever comes to its senses.

But we are the UNITED States. I'd like to remain that way and not cede any territory to the enemy. They don't have the numbers they pretend to have, and I don't think we need a civil war to defeat them.

Secession may be an option if we can't accomplish it peacefully, but I don't think we're quite at that point yet. Yet.......

I'm no Meme-Warrior (my only attempt at creating one was an unmitigated disaster), but I've got a great collection of the NPC ones that I'll use to trigger Leftists in text groups. It NEVER fails.

Peace in the Middle East Bad?

I'm not even going to try to argue against that.

Kamala is thinking Groundhog's Day.

That's a sound strategy.

I've been partial to Wu-Flu since Day 1, and have used it at every opportunity just to get the expected reaction.

Anyone who tells me that's racist has been eliminated from my friend list.

Secede sounds too much like concede to me.

We are the majority, and our numbers are growing daily. Now's the time to stand our ground as firmly as we can.

Nope, we're not. I'm seeing a very hard resolve rising to the surface all around us. Our spirit is stronger now than it's been in my lifetime.

And we can assume he's a total soy boy.

I don't think Kamala will be anywhere near that patient.

I can accept that there's a layer above Soros, but he sure seems to be among their royalty.

The one thing I'd love to know is who is really calling the shots. There are plenty of plausible theories.

Yup, Antifa finally found the fascists they've been looking for.

I just made this case to my skeptical father, and he drew the same conclusion. People can see what they really are now, and the buyer's remorse is growing quickly.

I was a newbie at TDW. If I hadn't been on the day it was announced, it likely would have taken me awhile to find this place.

It's a valid question and one that's been debated quite a bit. You can find both sides of the argument all over the net. I'm a bit busy, otherwise I'd present the argument and/or some links, but you can easily find this yourself.
