Devolution of the vast power collected by Fed.gov with its massive debt over the last century is the only way to avoid eventual tyranny, division, and war. The path to giving citizens a sense of purpose and peace must be to give back local control - and responsibility - for their affairs.
Americans need a rapid return to real Federalism, real local government, and real money.
“the possibility of violence”
Where the hell has the author been?
Riots in Portland for 100+ days already....left wing riots.
Don’t worry about what he said. Keep preparing for what is coming.
The leftist have been burning down the cities and burning the cities for 4 months probably at this point we’re all worried about the Republicans, realy ?
I'll start here:
Left-wing extremists have repeatedly laid siege to federal buildings in Portland, and on several occasions, armed right-wing protesters entered the State Capitol in Michigan.
So you're equating left wing violence and destruction of property with the non-violent exercise of the right to KABA?
Then there is this doozy:
These numbers are even higher among the most ideological partisans. Of Democrats who identify as very liberal, 26 percent said there would be a great deal of justification for violence if their candidate loses the presidency compared to 7 percent of those identifying as simply liberal. Of Republicans who identify as very conservative, 16 percent said they believe there would be a great deal of justification for violence if the GOP candidate loses compared to 7 percent of those identifying as simply conservative.
But wait...26% of very liberal Dems feel violence will be justified if Creepy loses, vs 16% for very conservative Repubs if Creepy wins. Thats a meaningfully large gap "favoring" the violence-prone libs.
And finally,
The best hope now to tamp down support for this potential political violence is to establish an independent, bipartisan third forcea broad commission of distinguished leaders and democratic elders of both parties and of civil society. Its mission would be to reaffirm and defend our democratic norms, especially the critical principles that every valid vote should be counted and that political violence is never justified in the United States.
So who, pray tell, will be on this blue-ribbon panel from the Repubs? My guess is the likes of Willard, Paul Ryan, Murkowsky, David Brooks, Jeb!, and Bill Kristol.
Trump said he condemns the Proud boys on hannity tonight. He basically confirmed all the lies.
Excellent advice FRiend. I’m sorry for the rant. We are just shocked. Now I know what the undercarriage of the bus looks like.
It appears that leftardism is gaining strength. The tree of liberty will soon be watered.
The partisan shills at Pollutico fail at equating nationwide conspirators engaged in premeditated violence with Americans defending themselves against DNC tyranny.
Partisan Media Shills update.
If the Left truly want to avoid violence, they should side with Americans and vote for Trump. A landslide election will help to dampen any violent outbreaks by BLM and Antifa.
And pray for our enemies. Except for the Antichrist media. They are hellbound.
Dem violence for months on end. so Politico comes up with this equivalence story? clearly the Dems thought there’d be more reaction from Trump supporters...but they got basically nothing.
following is nice:
Tweet: Terrence K. Williams, Actor, Comedian, author “From the Foster House to the White House”
President @realDonaldTrump dont have a racist bone in his body!
He was never called a racist until now
He has done more for the black community than any President
Prison reform, Record HBCU funding, Lowest black poverty & unemployment ever

Even if Trump wins in a landslide, I think Democrats are realizing that they have to cheat in order to win. So this is where we are right now.
I had extreme amounts of difficulty, getting past Politico.
Who are they asking?
There lies your answer.
Not all Americans are so simple minded.
“War nods but keeps one eye open’’.
Nathan Bedford Forrest? The Confederate traitor and founder of the KKK? Jeez. Never mind him. What would Abe Lincoln do?
the libtard subset, yes.
because as socialists they believe the ends justifies the means
and sonce they are the home of atheists and agnostics, they believe this is the only life they will ever have, so
to them the enda justifies the means and you only get one life and then you’re dirt
Wait for McClellan to do something...
This is a silly formulation by Politico of a much more fundamental truth: people are concerned with the ongoing and very well publicized violence whose perpetrators burn and loot buildings, accost restaurant diners physically and verbally, and invade people’s homes. There is nothing in the least political with that concern. Nobody I know on the right is planning on hunting down political opponents in the streets if the election goes sour for them. People I have observed on the left are already committing these acts whether the election goes sour for them or not - they intend to do it even if they win. Anyone who could fail to be concerned about such matters should have his or her head examined.
