We're rolling
Yeah, rolling down the same hill into the same quicksand pit.
You and I are on the same page about 2020. Yes, the election was stolen. I believe that 100%. But the fact is, Biden has served and continues to serve as POTUS, and his idiot sidekick is VPOTUS. And that same idiot has been appointed in a very non-democratic way to be the Democommie candidate. There is nothing we can do, and there is nothing anyone can do when they fix the election again in 2024, if they make that decision to do so. NOTHING!!!
I want Trump to win, but when he calls the BLACK, ASIAN INDIAN, WOMAN DEMOCOMMIE A LOW IQ PERSON, HE LOSES THOSE THAT HAVE NOT DECIDED YET. Don't you see that?
A large percentage of the electorate are INDEPENDENT. They are Independent because they are disgusted with the two party system. But, and a BIG BUT, the majority end up voting for one of the two candidate from the primary parties. They need to be courted. And using personal attacks just will not work. It may have worked in 2016, but the American public has long wearied of that crap.
Trump does not win this election straight up without the Independent vote. He needs them. For the people that are not the Trump base, he needs to come across as a leader of all America. He has the ability to run a campaign that would do that. He chooses not to, which in my mind opens the door for Harris to win straight up.
He has my vote. If I live to be 100 years of age, I will not vote for a Democrat. And like Reagan, I was once a Democrat. But the leadership has gone communist, and worse a large majority of those coming from universities believe socialism is acceptable. So, if not today, not too far in the future, we transition to a totalitarian form of governance. It will not be the Republicans that lead us down that path, it will be the Democrats.
There are over 1,000 political prisoners in prison right now, with the FBI seeking to put more political prisoners behind bars. And yet, the Director of the FBI implies before Congress that Trump was not shot. How long before the FBI Brown Shirts march everyone on these conservative boards to prison? I can see it happening for all conservative sites, all conservative media forms whether it is TV, cable, newspapers, websites, etc. It could happen in a six month period.
Hitler largely consolidated his power in about one year's time, killing his opposition, or locking them up.
I see dark days ahead. I believe our republic is gone, and many of my conservative friends say the same. They want to believe we are still a great nation, but how can that be true with a scoundrel like Biden and Harris at the helm. Who has been running this country for the last 3.5 years, for it sure wasn't Biden? Who?
I lived through the Cuban missile crisis as most of you did. We were preparing for a nuclear strike and being trained what to do in the event of a strike. Like it would have mattered. The vast majority of us would have been vaporized. Today, the weapons are even more lethal.
Someone wrote on one of these boards, 'our children will never know what it was like when we were young growing up in America'. I am afraid that is true, and it saddens me. There were no electronics other than TV and radio, and usually that included about three channels one could watch. We spent much of our time outside, playing sports, riding bikes, swimming, constantly active. We were physically fit, not like the pudgy kids of today, where a large number of them are obese. My passion when I was young was sports, and reading. I read every book I could get my hands on.
I had one daughter that I could not even bribe to get her to read. She was naturally smart, never opened a book and got As in school. She has a bachelor degree, but I honestly do not know how she got it, for I never saw her open a book as a kid. NEVER. I digress.
I need to buy me one of those $149 bottles of Chartreuse, so I can have my favorite liquor before retiring to bed. Sleep like a baby.
