“+1.”

I haven’t thought much about historical blue state corruption in a couple of months as I focused on the current danger.

I am surprised that after Tuesday there are still people on this board who support and defend the corrupt blue state culture. Amazing.

People who wish to believe something will simply believe it no matter how much evidence proves to reasonable people that they are wrong.

Lately I have been wondering why I even bother trading messages with some of you, because you are simply incapable of believing anything differently from what you wish to believe.

I had my eyes opened a few years ago. I wish the information I discovered then had been taught to me back when I was learning history. I wouldn't have spent so much time believing the deep state lies that have been fed to us all these years.

They've still got people like you.

I see you don’t actual read my messages before you respond to them. I think I already knew that, but I was hoping it might change. I guess you are too set in your ways to do things any differently from what you are accustomed to.

It’s still true four months later.

I guess those guys were all Jewish too??

I doubt any of them were. Who were the biggest industrialists of 1860? Who owned the rail roads back in those days? I think people come along trying to blame the Jews when it is the entire power structure of the New York Washington DC coalition that is running this country.

The assertion that there is a "Jewish Conspiracy" is probably just psy ops to cover up the real corruptocracy coalition that is even now throwing the election through their corruption machinery.

I think China probably has a lot of money flowing into this thing too.

Name me one major Civil War battle where the Union Army had a four or five to one manpower advantage.

Your attempted point would be relevant if the entire war was one battle. You know very well that Grant ground down Lee because the South couldn't simply replace the losses as the North could.

4 to 1 manpower will always win in the end.

What's really amazing is that no one seems to notice that the marching orders for all this corruption comes from the same powerful Cities of the Union during the civil war.

There are five cities that control the corruption in this nation. New York, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

These are the roots of American evil.

at no time in the Civil War did the Union Army have a 4 to 1 manpower advantage over the Confederate Army.

More like four months later your opinions haven't changed.

You do not seen the irony in that statement at all, do you?

The government founded by the 13 colonies lost. Lincoln created a new one which is much more dictatorial and controlling. The new corruptocracy is the very people Donald Trump is fighting now.

You are trying to parse the facts to create the illusion you want. From before the war, the Union had a 4 to 1 advantage in manpower. This extends to logistical support, just as the people who remained here operating the factories during WW2 were also part of the war effort.

By trying to make it only about the Union army, you are being disingenuous.

Because they are based on the facts, which also haven't changed.

There is no irony. You wish it were so, but I am quite objective and do not engage in wishing something to be true to the exclusion of all evidence that it isn't.
