Modern leftist ideology (and really elitist ideology in general) speaks only to power. There is no morality, virtue, or religion behind the ideology. You can't even reason (statistically or otherwise). It understands only power dynamics. I do not believe you can have a country where the power is the ultimate end goal. There must be religion and a common culture - some kind of morality.
The current American system is, in my mind, irredeemably broken. Outcomes are not determined by our laws, but by the people making the decisions. And our cries for help echo forever in an endless bureaucracy. How can Flynn be held a political hostage in a system where the prosecutor demands a dismissal? How can Trump be impeached for a phone call under the very same allegation where Biden is on tape doing the same? The system is broken.
If it were up to me, I'd say break it up. Break up the resources equally and have people move. It won't happen. But in an ideal world, we'd get a fresh restart. One where your religion can actually mean something. Instead, I think the best we can do is hide in the cracks of the system and hope these elites ruin themselves.
I do hope you're right though and the righteous can see us through this time.
Granted I haven't thought it completely over. But, I think we would be better off just breaking America up. I'm not sure that even if Trump wins, the problems will be solved. Elites have taken over every powerful institution in the country, and that was decades in the making. A hard restart would mean we could start fresh w/ stuff like term limits and learn from the mistakes of the past.
I completely understand your perspective/frustration.
I think we owe the system the opportunity to crash before we act though. It may very well be beyond repair in that every institution exists to serve the powerful. But many have died for this country and their belief in it. I believe we need to honor their sacrifice by letting the system play out before doing anything else.
Absolutely not. The rise of the administrative state is one of the most egregious things our leaders have let happen. But, our Framers built a system of checks and balances. If one branch steps out of line, another should rise up using the Constitution to check that power. We need to trust our Framers even now. And when/if this system of checks and balances is no longer in place, then the system can be said to have failed.
Here, these states clearly violated the Constitution when they changes the election laws of their legislatures. Somewhat beside the point (but it really is the key issue) is the fact that an elite few are abusing our system to obtain power. SCOTUS must step up because the Constitution demands it, and because these elites must be stopped.
If they fail, then our system is really broken.
America needs it's citizens to trust in it's institutions. We must trust in SCOTUS to do what is right. Their task is simple, either follow the very clear Constitutional mandate, of prove the political bent. If they chose the later, you are right. Only then should our faith in this country's institutions be irrevocably broken.
Perhaps it's time to assemble in such a way that prevents GA lawmakers from conducting business. A sit in at the Capital organized in such a way that day-to-day functions are impossible until we get signature verification, etc.
Powell/Wood and others are doing great work, but they are also doing damage to the movement by pacifying our efforts. We need leaders to give directed action right now.
Peaceful assembly organized in such a way to compel a desired action is desperately needed right now. Trump is fighting like a beast, but leadership needs to direct their movement.
Hard disagree w/ Don Jr. here. The majority are not willing to let it happen. But we do need leadership to help.
I'm not talking civil war larping. But I do think we need to take bold, collective action to force these governments to account for the election results.
I believe the GOP establishment made a deal w/ the dems. In exchange for getting rid of Trump, the dems will give the Republicans the Senate. I can't figure out why else the GOP have been so worthless in the face of such rampant, obvious voter fraud.
This could be a stall tactic used in American politics where one person ceremoniously asks for the result the public wants, but has no real power to do anything about it. Meanwhile the people who do (the SoS) never do it. So it just stalls out.
These people have become experts at letting the people's demands echo in the halls of the immense bureaucracy.
Awful analogy. We need real information about what's happening and we do need rallies to get people together, especially in the time of COVID and forced isolation.
Just sit back and shut up if you're going to drag it down. Let the real ones fight and carry yo.
We need to be results oriented. Trump produces results. Pompeo produces results.
Barr has done absolutely jack shit in his tenure. There is substantial statistical evidence of fraud, and now we are learning there is hard evidence as well.
It's a common tactic to pacify perceived hostile movements (like MAGA is to the elites) to insert players who say all the right things to pacify the movement. Barr, until this point, fulfills this very purpose.
Either get results or get the fuck out.
I love that you call Republicans spineless in the same comment as saying "what does it matter if they vote or not?" Already resigned to defeat.
The massive Trump turnout is exactly why the fraud was so rampant by they way. Georgians should vote like their lives depend on it. Because a democrat majority Senate will be quite literally the end of America as we know it. This isn't hyperbole.
I am one of them. And then I realized Obama held no liberal value he claimed to profess and there was pretty much no difference between him and Bush. Trump comes along and actually ends our wars, gives opportunities to minorities/economically-disadvantaged, passes prison reform, and helps the American worker. All things Obama said he'd do.
Sullivan (like Comey, Brennen, Clapper, etc) used his position to exploit the innocent. He unjustly turned the levers of American power against her own citizens. It is, in my opinion, the greatest form of violence an American can do to another.
I truly hope he faces justice. Fuck. This. Guy.
Fuck Fox.
