I am new to interest in politics. I didn’t know who Lyn Wood was but heard all about this powerful, patriotic man.

Then there came that “rally” in GA with Sydney Powell. First time hearing and seeing him.

And my initial, gut reaction was “Oh no.” with a cringe.

Trump loses: “You have to show them the fraud.”

Trump gets thrown in prison:”You have to show them the betrayals.”

Bread lines and lawlessness in America: “You have to show them the communism.”

This answer is unpopular because it means the fight for liberty before us is more arduous, slow, and boring than if Daddy Trump swooped in to save us all at the last second.

We aren’t damsels in distress, start acting accordingly.

Why are you being downvoted so much here?

Trump admits defeat. He is in well over his head now. This isn’t about 8D chess or a plan. It isn’t about letting the Dems walk into set traps or expose who is on what side. The betrayals have happened because the game is over and won. In a word, Trump has been Obi Wan’d. He’s in an impossible place now. Anything more from Trump, be it EO or IA, would unavoidably be the further destruction of the country and the collapse of MAGA’s public favor.

Trust me, I ain’t happy about it; in addition to being in the losing side of a heartbreaking and gut-wrenching fight, having to watch helplessly the erosion of this country by people purporting to do good for the people, and suffering Bejing Biden or Heels-Up Harris for 4 regressive years, I will also have to dish out $100 to gloating I-told-you-so lefties on January 20th. All we had was Trump, the Constitution, and the People. It wasn’t enough. But maybe one day it will be. But that day will recede farther away from us before it will get closer.

I’m proud as hell to have made the bet. But no black pill, just reality time here: it is checkmate. The deep state won, for now. They are some clever bastards, they used everything to their advantage to where it didn’t matter one bit that they faltered; it was carried over the finish line with the effortless help of the MSM/SM while we were fighting upstream nonstop.

This movement will move on without Trump. He will always be our head coach, he will always be on our Rushmore, a true American hero in our hearts. If this fight for America is to continue, it will have to retreat into a depression now and wait for its opportunity to return with a vengeance.

It has been an honor. I for one will never be the same.

I think he called us to DC because he knew Pence wouldn't do the right thing. That's what the storming of the capitol was over.

I believe Trump knew full well. It was painfully obvious during his speech. First he came out and said "Me and Pence are in full agreement on this." And then a day later, he was saying "I will be disappointed in Pence if he doesn't do the right thing." Why the flip flop? He knew. That's not something you say if you have confidence in the guy.

He could have paid off the national debt at some time during his presidency, and I think he might have too. By the time he exited the scene in 1837 though, it was accumulating; it has done that ever since. He got rid of the banks, but sent America into the biggest financial crisis it had seen. $441 million was declared in bankruptcy. Look up “ Specie Circular” and “the Panic of 1837” for some context.

This won’t be a popular take, but some historians conclude that the financial instability from Jackson’s bank war was finally concluded with the creation of the Federal Reserve, which wouldn’t exist without Jackson’s dissolving of the SBUS.

Are people involved with the Federal Reserve corrupt? Yea. Do they profit parasitically off the working man? Yup. Does that mean getting rid of it is a better option? Nope.

It’s like repealing 280 cause the SM robber barons are corrupt.

Andrew Jackson is maybe the most Trump-like past president. He was a badass, most importantly. He also was cheated out of winning an election at the highest level and started a counter movement (“Corrupt Bargain”), he heralded the onset of the American endless election campaign, his leadership was such an irritant to the establishment that it opened up a giant fissure in the administration and he arrived to a city incredibly hostile to him, was loyal to a fault, was the first populist president, the first distinctively different presidential or (not-so-traditionally presidential), he was incredibly charismatic, his wife was the subject of horrific smear campaigns, figure inspired and formed a political party (the Democrat party), the first real American hero since Washington, changed the power structure of Washington forever, was hell bent on getting the crooks out of Washington (“turn the rascals out” — the first election campaign theme), and was the first president re-elected in a landslide (just like 2020). His ideas also ruled America until the Civil War... Jackson was a president unafraid to wage war in his own people if it came to it.

And he did purge Washington, but just a bit too well. Jackson heedlessly destroyed the Second Bank of the United States simply because he had a distrust of centralized banks and despised the rich and lavish bankers controlling it. It caused nearly irreparable inflation, sent the country into a lasting depression, and plunged the country into debts that we still continue to this day.

Maybe not the best kind of “changed America forever”.

If the FBI immediately jumped on it, and is the lead investigation, doesn’t that probably mean the hack was to the benefit somehow of the pro-Trump side?

All the pieces have moved and the board is looking bleak. A miracle must happen for Trump to overcome. We are at the point where people will either hang in or jump ship. There is less and less to hold out hope for.

But he has had numerous such miracles happen for him and that is not coincidence. Either you have faith this man saw this coming and did SOMETHING, ANYTHING to stop it, or you believe we live in a country where overt and illegal cheating has no consequences. As bad as it looks, I cannot accept that second option. My head sees it happening but my heart never will, and I have always gladly been led by my heart. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

in the end, either way, you will be proud you hung on.

Summary so far: tons of pro-Biden private money and egregious violations of extra-judicial power were pumped into organizations with hands in the election’s logistics. The law and the people were made a mockery of, and no one in any meaningful position cares. Zero repercussions. No reckoning.
