We pretty much live in a fascist state...example, Obamacare. The Federal Reserve is Fascist and so secret that we don't even know who the owners are, who profit from it. Republicans spin their view as "privatization". Dems aren't the fascists. The talk is about leaving out the middle man, example insurance companies providing Obamacare.
Reforms are what we thought we were voting for. That would be the government having limited responsibilities and government being as small and as local as possible. We're probably too far down the slippery slope to the trash heap of failed civilizations. There just aren't enough people who see anything wrong with the gov being in charge of stuff.
Public and incessant batshit insanity will not prevent the Democrats assuming total power in 2020. The Democrats engaged in massive vote fraud and some even bragged about it or excused it and there are no penalties and there is no correction of the problem.
But most of all, Trump is causing division. Causing us all to take a stand on our heritage. The fighting is ours, not just Trumps battle. What will each of us do in the cause of liberty. What will each of us pay?
Liberty is not free. we need to get involved. It does not always cost blood. It may cost us some of our wealth, time, energy, creativity.
I personally have donate $100 a month to Trumps campaign. The libs are going to destroy my wealth anyway so what does it cost to do this?
The fact the FR has to beg for money to says much about many here engaging in the battle.
A nation divided is not free...………...it is all one or all the other.
There is going to be a fight, lets get it started and over with.
“I suspect the fix is already in for 2020.”
I wouldn’t put that much stock in the midterms. I’m sure there was Democrat cheating, but their wins weren’t that surprising.
At the place where I vote in PA, neither party had anywhere near the attendance or enthusiasm you would see in a Presidential election year, but the Democrats clearly had an “opposition party” enthusiasm that was lacking on the Republican side.
It had nothing to do with issues, Trump’s job performance, or anything really - and certainly not cheating. From what I observed, it was simply that the Democrats saw voting as a chance to protest the fact that Donald Trump was President, and were energized by that. The Republicans didn’t really view the midterms opportunistically, and stayed home out of sheer complacency.
I saw it as pretty normal behavior - like if you get a flat tire, you swing into action - call triple AAA, or get out the spare and the jack and get to work changing it yourself - but you DO something. That was the Democrats - Trump getting elected POTUS was a flat tire to them, so they acted. If you don’t get a flat tire, you basically do nothing - you just keep going about your business. That was the Republicans during the midterms.
2020 will be different. Republicans will come out in droves to make sure whoever the Democrats nominate is not elected President. Yes, the Democrats will lie and cheat, and Trump’s win will not be as much of a landslide as it would be without the cheating, but I am confident he will be re-elected by a comfortable margin. He is doing a great job - his supporters are impressed, and even those that hate him will admit the sky hasn’t fallen.
It looks like an American version of the Russian Social Democrat Party split when the Bolsheviks split theparty and sloughing off the Mensheviks. In our case here the Mensheviks have all either conformed to the Bolshie doctrine or have shut up altogether. In other words the totally radical faction has assumed control. The new Party is becoming rapidly more radical and more aggressive. The American Duma is two houses so they have taken control of only part of it. I expect some aggressive efforts to marginialize the Senate if it does not marginalize itself. We are fortunate in that Trump is a very different animal from the Tsar but the end of it will not be the continuation of the Republic. One side or the other has to prevail and the demographic reality is that democracy in America tends in one direction only.

Since the constitution does not grant the feds the authority to impose any of the democrat idiocy on display this week and the replacement of the constitution as suggested by BETO cannot be done by act of congress, the only conclusion one can come to from the empirical evidence is the democrat party and its supporters are in rebellion and intend to destroy the United States. And they must be treated as such. This of course comes as no surprise to people who have been paying attention since 1960 and have an appreciation of history. No one wants to believe it because of what it portends.
So true and another indication of their rebellion.
There are, indeed, many small and some larger victories but the only one that will be effective in prolonging the Republic is vote reform i.e. positive ID, paper ballots, single day voting only at designated voting places. That does not eliminate fraud but makes it far less prevalent because it has to be done at each and every polling station and is probably limited to the machine run cities that vote solid Democrat anyway.
A beautiful synopsis of the current state of the Democrat party.

“You know that Trump will use the green deal to eviscerate the dems. But he eventually will leave the scene, and then we are back to quiet compliant repubs acting like lambs.”
I hope not, but I think you’re probably right. A deep and thorough cleansing is needed to save this republic .

Although our modern socialists' promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere, in recent years observer after observer has been impressed by the unforeseen consequences of socialism, the extraordinary similarity in many respects of the conditions under 'communism' and 'fascism'. As the writer Peter Drucker expressed it in 1939,'the complete collapse of the belief in the attainability of freedom and equality through Marxism has forced Russia to travel the same road toward a totalitarian society of unfreedom and inequality which Germany has been following. Not that communism and fascism are essentially the same. Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion, and it has proved as much an illusion in Russia as in pre-Hitler Germany.’No less significant is the intellectual outlook of the rank and file in the communist and fascist movements in Germany before 1933. The relative ease with which a young communist could be converted into a Nazi or vice versa was well known, best of all to the propagandists of the two parties. The communists and Nazis clashed more frequently with each other than with other parties simply because they competed for the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. Their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common, was the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits made of the right timber, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom.What is promised to us as the Road to Freedom is in fact the Highroad to Servitude. For it is not difficult to see what must be the consequences when democracy embarks upon a course of planning. The goal of the planning will be described by some such vague term as 'the general welfare'. There will be no real agreement as to the ends to be attained, and the effect of the people's agreeing that there must be central planning, without agreeing on the ends, will be rather as if a group of people were to commit themselves to take a journey together without agreeing where they want to go: with the result that they may all have to make a journey which most of them do not want at all.

“It didn’t have to be this way – all the Democrats had to do was to not be batsh*t crazy. But hey, when you actually are batsh*t crazy, it’s really hard to keep up appearances.”
Well stated. The original Star Trek had a show along those lines, with an evil, parallel, universe. The crews get transposed and Kirk and his people have to act batshiite crazy in the evil universe...and manage to pull it off. But in the good (original) universe the batshiite crazy Kirk and his people couldn’t fake it, so they were immediately locked up and not a problem.
