What Lesson did you learn in 2020?

Posted on 12/26/2020 5:27:39 PM PST by MNDude

Maybe I'm alone here, but I feel like I learned a lot of dark lessons this year.

I thought I was already cynical and anti-government enough already back in 2019.

Little did I know.

What did you learn in 2020 that you didnt know before?

In a political sense I now know first hand what spouse abuse feels like. Battered wife syndrome is what we are experiencing.

I have gotten a much clearer understanding and calm in the verses from Phillipians 1:

“20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;”

I learned that when I went out and voted on November 3rd, I wasted my time.

I’ve had suspicions in years passed, but this year has CONVINCED me that our Presidents are not elected anymore and never will be again. They are APPOINTED by the deep state.

They will get no more votes from me, no more financial support... just OPPOSITION.

Still a failure.

In hindsight, would it have been different if he didn’t listen to whoever was advising him.

For example, when Wray was announced I said it was a very bad choice and reminded people of the infamous hospital showdown that involved him.

But in the end, I think it was destined to be a failure. Deep State is too deep. Probably never see another attempt to fix it in my life time

I learned that in Florida, when it gets cold, iguanas come cascading out of the trees like frozen pine cones.

That dems will go to a level of sleaze beyond my comprehension.

I don’t believe Trump thought they could go to this level of corruption either. Otherwise, I think he would have fought harder for a fair election BEFORE the election.

I certainly don’t blame Trump. I blame obama and people like Mark Zuckerberg. obama’s thugs told them where to invest the money to steal it and they did. Personally, I hope obama and Zuckerberg are put on trial and executed for treason. They have stolen our nation.

We’re being steam rolled. Thought there was a chance; delusional I suppose. NWO and full tracing here we come.

I also learned just how close we are to harpazo.

The Republic ended at noon on January 20, 2009 when John Roberts swore in an ineligible usurper.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.

Words have meaning or the Constitution is an illusion.

It’s been an illusion since then.

I was astonished to see how many Freepers were not only willing to surrender their liberties over a viral outbreak with a survival rate in excess of 99%, but had no shame in getting on this website and scolding other people for refusing to shut our own lives and businesses down.

This website lost a ton of credibility over this fiasco, in my humble opinion.

I learned I have been an idiot building a business for the past dozen years because a vindictive governor can snap her bony fingers and close it down.
2021 i will learn how to sign up for every single welfare program and live off the government printing press. Working is not worth it anymore.

We finally got someone in the WH to do it and he failed.

Trump blew it immediately by surround himself with a bunch of terrible appointees. Remember what it looks like in the Year 1:

Gary Cohn
Jeff Sessions
HR McMaster
Rex Tillerson
Anthony Scaramucci
Omarosa
John Kelly
Dan Coates
Kirstjen Nielsen

The Sessions appointment alone was enough to tank the term. That was not the right team to fight the deep state.

1) The American people are even more gullible than I thought, and will put up with the most blatant and unconstitutional restrictions on their rights, as long as the media propaganda machine tells them “it’s for their own good”.

2) We are at the last box. Voting no longer works at all, and even the most blatant fraud will be ignored by every organ of government.

Many cultures are very dangerous but I have especially been disgusted with the black women in this country that bragged online about cheating during the election. Black women have literally taken over the big cities and are turning them into sh—holes. Not all of course as this is not about race but cultures that destroy. Blacks have voted 95 % in the past for Demonrats and there is a reason for that. Their culture is totally corrupt. Fortunately, some have been listening to President Trump and understand the evil that Demoncrats pose.

I have learned that most Americans are sheep and that the fear of death overwhelms them.

I give him a pass. It’s because he was an outsider and just really didn’t know. He relied on the wrong people to help him

He did great things. I am glad he was elected.

It makes me sad to think about what he could have accomplished if he hadn’t been fought every step of the way. Ryan deserves a lot of the blame

In hindsight he should not have been as overt about many things and did it more on the sly.....but even then..he probably would have failed.
