Georgia Senate Runoff Election: January 5, 2021

[mountaineer]

And so this is where Donald Trump has left us.   No President and now no Senate either.  We're screwed - especially if we continue to act like ostriches.

"Us." 

[sneakypete]

Ok, so where do we go from here? What is the next step?

@BassWrangler

Well,it's not immediate,but sooner or later,and most likely within the next 2 years,we are going to have to make a choice between revolution or surrender.

I have already made my choice. Just waiting for the other team to enter the field and start the play. I fully expect them to start with gun control via confiscation/requiring you be a member of a gun club and keep your guns locked up at the club house under guard.

@Jazzhead

Well,you do seem to enjoy both.

He obviously enjoys trolling.

With regard to what to do next, I only know what I will not do. After 40 years I am completely finished with the GOP. There are a handful of good men/women I would support, but just a handful. The rest can rot with their rat friends.

Georgia is already blue and Texas isnt't too far behind. YOu'll have two Democrat countries then.

[Fishrrman]

Georgia must now be considered "a blue state".

It's right up there with Illinois and New York, with the Atlanta Metro area "outweighing" the rest of the state.

Combine this with the burgeoning demo-communist "underground election apparatus", and they can now "control" elections to turn in their favor. No one's going to stop them, as the "Republican" leadership of Georgia has just demonstrated.

Without Georgia, it's gonna be difficult or impossible for the Republicans to win another presidential contest, assuming states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin can no longer be won (as they, too, have their own "election apparati" in place).

The once "reliably Republican" South is about to break apart and disappear. Virginia's gone, and North Carolina may soon follow.

Even Texas can't help in that regard.
For Texas, too, will "turn" at some point in the future.

Do I need to post Fishrrman's "American Timeline" again...?

[BassWrangler]

Sign me up for that plan!

One thing I've been thinking about: It's not really red and blue states as much as it is blue urban areas and red suburban and rural areas. It's the cities that are the concentrations of blue voters. For example, if you dumped King county from Washington State, the state would be reliably red. No matter where you draw the boundaries, you end up with these clusters of leftists that eventually grow and/or learn to cheat enough to win elections.

If things ever escalate to the point of a second American revolution, we need a plan to deal with these festering boils of leftism. And we would need a plan to allow right-thinking folks caught in the blue areas to migrate to red areas while at the same time preventing leftists from migrating and polluting the voting pool. In Kurt Schlichter's books, the United States splits and a new state containing the leftists is formed. In what's left of the United States, they implement a policy where some sort of military service is required to earn voting privileges. While this isn't a guarantee on how someone will vote, it does filter out the bulk of the socialists.

Checkout out the county by county totals here:

I'm still flabbergasted at how blue some of these counties are (or at least what the reported vote totals show)! I mean Forsyth County and Gwinnett County used to be the same, with maybe Forsyth even being a little more blue. Now Gwinnett is 60+% blue while Forsyth is still 60% red?!?

What you say is unarguably true but your thought is not original @BassWrangler

“The mobs of the great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.”
Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIX, 1782. ME 2:230

More likely what Stalin said in 1923 still holds:

"I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how."  Boris Bazhanov The Memoirs of Stalin's Former Secretary (1992)

Look familiar?

What an awesome quote. I'm continually amazed at how brilliant the founders of this country were. I don't have the exact quote at hand, but there is this quote about how a system of laws only works when a majority of the people have a sound moral base. Once you've lost that, no system of laws will constrain them. We have seen this with the split in the courts between constructionists and "progressives". The progressive justices are not bound by what the constitution or the written laws say. Once you have enough people who will just ignore laws or reinterpret them to a place far beyond their clear meaning, then you really have no constraints at all. This is what has happened to our constitution.

Yep. I also saw (on Twitter) that there were again some negative vote changes for the Republicans.

I was asked years ago to be a precinct captain and when I asked why, this quote was stated to me and explained.

Though I don't think that we will see another election, this is something to keep in mind; get involved with your local precincts ... work it so that you're the one that tallies/oversees the votes or decides whether or not a vote gets counted. Oversee mail-in votes, etc.

We have long since stopped being a moral and religious people.

Big vote dump and the algorithm to maintain the lead. Same pattern.

[Jazzhead]

Ok, so where do we go from here? What is the next step?

Hope the Dems overreach like they did in Obama's and Clinton's first term and give us the votes to take back the House in 2022.

[catfish1957]

And the democrats are laughing their asses off at us. 

[Ghost Bear]

No matter how many times the pattern repeats, some people will refuse to see it. Several on this thread, for instance.

[Bigun]

Along with the CHICOMS

So is the GOPe.

Blew the chart up a bit, and extrapolated what happened in that 5 minute period between 11:13 p.m. and 11:18 p.m.

At 11:13 p.m.

Loefler app. 2,065,000
Warnock app. 1,940,000

At 11:18 p.m.

Loefler app.2,080,000
Warnock app.  2,105,000

So in that 5 minute period Warnock - 165,000 (91.6%) Loefler 15,000- (8.4%)

At 11:13 p.m.

Perdue- app. 2,085,000
Ossoff- app. 1,935,000

At 11:18 p.m.

Perdue- app. 2,095,000
Ossoff- app. 2,100,000

So in that 5 minute period Ossoff - 165,000 (94.2%) Perdue 10,000- (5.8%)

The graph is rough, but the 150,000 vote anomaly defies logic and plausibility.  Like you said deja vu.

Is there anyone anywhere who did not know this was going to happen?
