Somehow Ohio, Florida, Iowa, etc. seemingly got it somewhat right. Why are we giving up instead of using those states as a template?

So Arizona, Arkansas, Nebraska needs to be ready to get a MAGA and not a Surrender Republican.

Of the running for re-election, sounds like Noem, DeSantis, and McMaster were most eager to fight back against lockdowns. The rest were pretty pathetic, sounds like, and had issues with other policies as well.

Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin need to be extremely vigilant in the primary. We need people on the record whether they'll be fighters or not.

That's what I used. The podcast on that page, starting at minute ~11:35 he goes down the list with who's decent, who's not, and why, if anyone is interested.

Where? Stop voting where?

In Wyoming? Florida? Montana? Conservatives should stop voting in Texas, right? Iowa? Nebraska? South Carolina?

The over 2,000 counties where Donald Trump won, we should stop voting right?

Obviously it'll take a cycle or two to get the top-brass backstabbers out, but I think with 95% approval in the Republican party, Trump is the leader.

But he can't finish the job if we all just shut out politics until things are fixed for us

What do you mean he didn't take it over?

What's the percentage breakdown someone in a primary would get that Trump came out for and supported tomorrow versus someone backed by the McConnell/Cheney disaster duo.

Scenario A: Hypothetically, for purposes, Trump runs in 2022 House election in GOP primary, sweeps it because most of GOP voters hate Romney wing. Runs as GOP vs a Dem. What do?

Scenario B: In 2022, Lauren Boebert runs for re-election as GOP candidate vs Dem. What do?

Scenario C: In 2022, Marjorie Greene runs for re-election as GOP vs Dem. What do?

Repeat Scenario as necessary.

GOP belongs to us, I'm sure if they polled it, an overwhelming majority would prefer Trump-like fighters versus McConnell-like kneelers. It's our party, it's our data.

Absent a third party (because that's logistically difficult, especially for the nearest elections) if it's a good Maga candidate, vote for them. If it's a business as usual GOPer in the general, no one can really fault you for not voting.

Most are probably filled mainly with MAGA patriots. The local GOP likely has mailing lists, addresses, phone numbers.

It's likely been going on in large metros for decades. It was so blatant this time that it was too noticeable, too widespread, too egregious. I bet plenty of independents are even starting have questions on what is going on.

But what good is that if nothing is done about it, right?

Here's the thing. Our avenue to fixing this is now through the state legislatures. And most of those districts are likely not compromised by illegitimate voting. So we have to put in the work it requires, pressuring the people in the legislatures (specifically in swing states) to actually do something to ensure election integrity, or get MAGA people in there that will. And we need everyone in those red counties to vote and make sure of that, not give up.

Maybe a bit of a break from the Qtard stuff. It seems unproductive. Let's concentrate on the work we have ahead of us.

peruvianhat 1 point ago +1 / -0

I mean like you said above, Ohio, Florida, Texas provided a good blueprint at least for election running. Let's have other states emulate it.

But let's just say that we have a break-up or whatever of some states that band together as conservative states. If we don't do the research of candidates now, or don't make them work for us, what good is it? We still have Doug Bergum in North Dakota pushing the same garbage as De Blasio. I hear DeWine is pretty smitten with the Corona-fascism. Liz Cheney in Wyoming. At some point we have to start from the bottom. Otherwise we get what some may want, but are caught with our pants down with Mittens Romney running to lead the New Republic.

I bet there's more people waking up with a steel resolve to do something rather than give it all up. At least I hope.

The ones in the large metros, sure. But what about ones outside of that?

peruvianhat 1 point ago +1 / -0

I'm going to have to disagree, I don't think we have been committing action for four years. I think we've been asleep for decades while the other side organized.

peruvianhat 1 point ago +1 / -0

I'm not from PA, but that's obviously a problem state where action is needed. What excuse are you even talking about? This is a call to action not a round of the blame-game.

And we wonder why they just follow the path of least resistance and take orders from establishment higher ups, (mask mandates, lockdowns) even in red states like North Dakota and Idaho.

If no one is attending, taking even 5 or 10 or 20 patriots, to start, can actually have a big impact. Up that number and they start to realize they are supposed to be representing you.

Why are we treating this opportunity, with so many people's eyes having been opened, as a chance to lay down and give up rather than spark a fire starting at the local level.

Do you know who ran in your primaries for local positions? Do you know who the local leaders are? If not, it's an indication that we've been sleeping this whole time and hoping that one man could change absolutely everything. Are we waiting for Trump to install the right school board member in district 4, township 37 in Nebraska? The right town councilman in Round Lake, Minnesota? We have to realize that we have work to do to affect positive change. That does not involve surrender.

Maybe instead of complaining we need to do some self-reflection on what we've been doing to counteract the commies infiltrating every facet of our lives.

We have an opportunity here: there is a big appetite for MAGA. Start local but do not give up.

I think until that can gain traction we'll have to settle for differentiating between Republicans in the MAGA wing of the GOP (and there are some) from the Surrender Caucus of the GOP. There is much cleanup to do but it looks like the GOP in the US House has a much larger MAGA wing now than it did 2/4 years ago.

Either way, we have to start small and make sure we elect MAGA wing to local and state positions.

We can't afford to somehow clean up the mess and then be left scrambling because Romney's back on the ticket and we didn't do the hard work. Start local, sanctuary counties. Change who runs the schools if they are hammering critical theory into everyone, get a sheriff who will be loyal to the Constitution. Is the prosecutor locking up criminals, protecting the innocent, or is it the other way around.

Fair enough, regardless, we've been sleeping too long on getting people that value the Constitution and represent our interests in positions of power. The vetting and political organizing needs to start yesterday.
