America is a mutt culture with no cohesion whatsoever

That's a left-wing lie and if that belief spreads in our generation we'll lose it all.

America absolutely has a culture. We are different from anywhere else and always have been. Everyone from other countries knows it, from a French guy in the 1800s (de Tocqueville) to kids all around the world trying to be cool by acting American. The ones who shit on America know it especially well, and everyone who's ever seen a list of "attributes of whiteness" or whatever (because those aren't so much "white" things as American things).

The superficial parts are easy to see - everyone wants to speak English, say "OK", eat McDonalds and Coke, sing like Britney Spears or whatever. But it goes deep too.

Entrepreneurialism, suburban life / owning land, high social trust / doing things by the honor system, low trust in government/media/powers, joining voluntary organizations, optimism and grins, nuclear family, frankness, yankee ingenuity, I could go on forever and that's not even mentioning the history, literature, traditions, food, clothes, music, and cultural references of America.

Having a cohesive culture is NOT our problem. Being PROUD of our culture and working to PRESERVE AND IMPROVE IT is our problem.

Republican / conservative / liberty groups, gun groups, traditionalist churches. I live in one of the bluest parts of the country and still have whole groups of conservative women friends. Heck even the three percenters have plenty of women. People sort themselves, you have to look by shared attributes, not just who you meet around town or at work or whatnot.

Wow never? I've spent my entire life in deep blue areas and I've still met a similar number of conservative women as conservative men. Every conservative group I've seen has had a reasonable proportion of women, sometimes even a whole women's subgroup.

Popular liberalism is definitely targeted to women though, you gotta talk about caring and kindness and being nonjudgmental but lowkey you get to indulge your worst impulses of judgey groupthink and pat yourself on the back with a massive superiority complex.

That's a different level of "rigging" though. It happens before the election even starts, within the Republican party structure where there's an expectation that Romney or whoever will be nominated because it's his "turn". Time to obliterate that and also separately make changes to elections (especially voter ID).

I guarantee you, if even a third of Trump voters actually follow through with lobbying for voter ID by every possible legal means, we'll get it. Not in California, but Georgia can do it if patriots actually stay focused and involved, and not forget about it immediately like usual. Political changes always require a small but motivated fraction of the population.

This election was rigged in specific key left-wing cities. Presidential elections are always the most fraudulent, off-year elections still have a decent track record.

But yes, left-wing cities have been rigging elections since the 1800s. There are simple and clear measures that can be taken to cut down on this, specifically voter ID and fixing the way votes are counted. We just need to do them. This actually isn't impossible to fix at all.

I agree with your conclusions, but the point of calling out liberal hypocrisy isn't for liberals, it's for people who don't know what's going on, to get them to pay more attention. It's useful for reaching low information voters.

Yes the left does own culture. Maybe you can explain your objection to the term "racism" so young people would know about it? Most people think it means racial prejudice.

I can relate because I hate seeing people say we're about "capitalism," that's a Marxist term and beside the point. What we want is a "free market." Capitalism is just one of the many ways that people get things done in a free market, and it's not a sufficient condition for economic freedom.

Charles Murray (the Bell Curve guy) wrote an entire book on that kind of thing, called By The People: Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission. Not sure if there are any think tanks or legal groups adopting his tactics yet, but reading about it might give you some ideas.

Their goal was to get the court to deal with illegal ballots ASAP, not to rule on exactly who committed fraud, when and how. Just show that the vote counts are wrong, not prove how it got that way. So legally they're not fraud suits, that would have a different goal targeted at the fraudster(s), not at revising the vote count.

Yeah there have been mob like surges back and forth. But I think sensible people are aware of that too, it's part of our time. "Hold the line" is a cliche but it also has a practical meaning in fast changing circumstances. Remembering what you stand for and why, not getting pulled off course by weird crap that's suddenly popular.

Thanks fren. I've been impressed with Rudy keeping us informed firsthand these past few weeks. Voted for him in the presidential primary in 2008 too.

I hope none of my fellow pedes feel alone, after what I've seen this week I've never felt more together with so many, seriously. I would buy any one of you a drink if I met you.

We don't need the GOP, but it's nothing without us. It is a curved hollow fang waiting for our venom.
