We did, years back. Canceled the Lefty print rag. Most of those who think the are "conservatives" as they watch the "channels" and consume print media are often surprised when I cite with easily found sources the realities the Left works night and day to obscure. Regards.

Useless. The representatives do not represent. It would be ignored, probably attacked by government sanctioned goons.

Simple. The nation would fall into chaos. The Chinese would likely move in, or failing that, civil war would break out,

The same as the direction we are headed now.

Probably, but no one knows where...

It’s already happened. Most MAGA voters I know were totally disaffected Americans who had no faith in the political process before 2016.

It will cost them nothing to go back there after 2024 if Trump is out of the picture.

Direction is not the same as being there.

We may yet prevail, but only if we keep struggling.

Giving up ensures defeat.

Yes but unfortunately totally infiltrated by FBI GOONS who will start violence resulting in Patriots being gunned down in cold blood.

The Left just needs an excuse to Murder Patriots in mass. The Left already gets Orgasmic by Murdering Babies in the Womb.

Notice how EVERY shooting is initially portrayed by the Left as MAGA, Right Wing, or Republican beliefs running wild and disappeared once TRUTH comes out

Remember the whole “day without a Mexican” stuff? Yeah. Nobody is as important as they think they are.

Actual Americans, otherwise known as MAGA or AmericaFirst supporters, are getting more and more pissed by the day.

This is a “What If?” and it contains an undistributed middle term so it’s not quite a syllogism/analogy. The John Galt people had an escape hatch that let them go and live the way they were inclined.

We don’t quite have that yet. For us to shrug now would be to abandon our position of “We’re still here” — a disaster for our children, more of a shirk than a shrug.

I see his point, but it’s more of a pout.

There is another option.
Yesterday, a federal judge issued a ruling granting the rioters in minneapolis cash for being injured while rioting.
So, the solution is to abandon the cities.
Let the so called utopia come to life in the cities.
Let them wallow in the filth and destruction, the lawlessness that they have sown.
All we have to do is refuse to participate.
If you drive a truck, do not drive it into the cities.
If you are a cop, get a job out of the city.
If you are a doctor, practice outside of the city.
If you are an engineer, get a job outside of the city.

Petition your local government and stop the bus routes to the place you live.
Let them have what they elected.
Let them live in lawlessness.
Let them have the filth, crime, murder and rape that comes with it.

My momma used to say, “Be careful what you ask for, ‘cuz you
might just get it”...
Let them have it

What if MAGA Americans altogether and all at once simply said, “No more”?

Won’t work those who voted for Biden aren’t Americans it’s why so many of them want him to run again.

I think this is a real possibility. As I’ve said, ONLY Trump can get the blue collar midwestern non-affiliated voters.

The research is in “The Great Revolt” by Salena Zito released after 2016 and in “Bellwether Blues” by John Jacubowski. In addition to general stats, they conducted hundreds of in person interviews with non-traditional voters-—voters who had never voted before or, in Jacubowski’s case, who had voted 2x for Zero then Trump.

These people HATE the GOP. They hate DemoKKKrats too, but that’s not our problem. Our problem is they will not turn out for a Ron DeSantis or anyone else viewed as a “corporatist” or “traditional” Republican concerned with Wall Street, tax cuts, and foreign wars. So far, only Trump of all the candidates has issued anything except glowing support for the Uke war, which is deeply unpopular with these people. No one supporting giving money to the Ukes is gonna get their vote. As Tudor Dixon said yesterday on the Rush Limbaugh show, MI Trump voters didn’t come out because only Trump had promised to keep the auto jobs there. Now the DemoKKKrats are tying to slip this to “electric vehicles,” which require battery plants-—which are NOT being built there.

Overall, I think we’re screwed. The media/RINOs have done such a good job of demonizing Trump (apparently he is viewed unfavorably by 66% of indies in a WPA poll), that he will lose a lot of the Suburban Karens, but offset with millions of blue collar types. But no other candidate will win enough Suburban Karens to offset the loss of millions of blue collar types.

I just finished reading this article. It’s good! Thanks for posting.

This is part of my continual advocacy that we detach from the ponderous machinery of government and “the system” and let it roll on. Don’t be one of those “I’m going to not wear my mask in the store as a protest!” folks who end up getting beat up - in a few cases so far, killed - and forced to get the vaccine anyway. This society is doomed and trying to save anything about it is wrong. If “traditions” are permanent, they will survive, so don’t worry about them.

(Did anyone notice that an apartment building burned down in a Chinese city the other day and the authorities DID NOT remove the pandemic locks from the building but allowed the residents to die? And these were people who were COOPERATING.)

Concentrate on your and your loved ones’ survival. Stop feeding the beast. Go as Galt as you can afford to and develop the mindset of independence, which is one of the sacred founding principles of our Constitutional Republic.

In a great way, we asked for this by being lazy and cowardly, neglecting to vote when provided the opportunity; we yawn when we see kids getting turned into useless leftists by the public school system and then flip out when they’re holding drag shows in the school library. (Because no one can learn without getting exposed to a giant man dressed up as a woman shaking its butt in your face, don’t ya know.) You didn’t complain about the leftist teachers and so now that’s all you’ve got and suddenly HELLLLLL-OOOOOOO it’s a huge effing deal.

The impending titanic collapse of the “cryptocurrency” market should clue a few folks in to the idea that we’ll be having a Red Dawn any day now. H3ll, we already did.

Those paratroopers didn’t shoot the teacher who went out and asked them what they were up to - they gave him a bunch of literature about birth control, “safe” sex, LGBTXYZ acceptance, and gender transitioning for grade-schoolers.

The shooting is already taking place, too - but it’s not in your front yard yet, so......*yawn*......

Maybe civil war or secession is the only answer to save the country or part of it if elections are going to continue to be rigged.

Then I guess we all just keep sitting around and try voting our way out of this....what else would you be willing to do? How many patriots will be willing to stand up to this government? None because of what the Dems have done to the Jan 6th patriots. Their methods are working and all too well.

No politician is going to pay a price because we are all very angry with what is happening but there is “nothing we can do”. We will never vote ourselves out of this because the powers that be won’t allow that. So we go into tyranny and hope we survive.
