I'm finished with politics!!!Vanity

Posted on 01/09/2021 9:50:55 AM PST by Terry L Smith

I'm fed up with politics!! The whole kit-and-kaboodle!!

Here's why:

The Republican Party has become a nest of teetering, sodded, half-baked senior citizens that do not know what day it is, whether it is a 'meat loaf day', or a day to afford time with the masses who voted them into office. They had a grand moment, to truly change America, and all they did was vote for pay raises for themselves.

The Democratic Party, which at one time decried anything "socialist/communist" as against America, now fully7 and openly embrace the teachings of Marx, Lenin, Castro, and Khrushchev.

I switched and ditched the Libertarian Party because of a dimwit named "Gary". it was the too familiar "it is my turn now", when in fact, that man had his skull firmly implanted into his alimentary canal to where surgery would not help.

I've had enough. I will, never vote for any incumbent, always vote no on State propositions, and am decidedly not interested in any future candidates of any flavor.

I am taking a furlough from politics, until every last human in Congress over 50 years old, has gone to their dirt nap!!!

I was going to quit it yesterday too. I figured that I (and most of us here) know to much and that we're not happy because of it. We need to get more oblivious and happy.

Well here I am today, and so are you.

You copied most of this from a vanity post I made back in Dec 1999.

How did that work out for you?

Hopefully, hard-working Hispanics will look around in the coming years and see who is making the money and able to pay taxes to support the lazy.

I’m done with the traitorous wretched GOP, for sure. Better to let it go to hell under the anti-American leftist liberal dummies. Only then will we have a fighting chance of bringing America back.

I think we’re done. I’m still trying to understand why everyone is going nuclear war on this when during the kavenaugh hearing it was considered quaint. I admit I’ve only seen the crashing the door open and some walking about. My neighbor told me the physical damage to the congress was astounding. I guess I like my nievate about it. They said it’s only the second time the congress has been stormed in the same way and that was 1812. I guess we made history as a collective.

"but politics is not finished with you....................."

How true. The Communists are on a roll. They are going to blitzkrieg America immediately and will be coming for many of us. If they know you own a gun, have spoken out prominently as a conservative, been a MAGA supporter, refuse to stay home, questioned the shutdown rationales and changing goal posts, etc they will be coming for all of us.

In Georgia, the state level GOP is dead. Thanks to Kemp and his partner Raffensperger.

How do we turn on the “I don’t care” button?

I was in a neighborhood discount store in the late fall and the customer in front of me mentioned to the cashier that she couldn’t wait for the election to be over because it was interrupting her tv programs. She said that she didn’t care who won, as long as they left her television programs alone.

I want to be like that LOL

Yes, this all sounds very nice. Till you find out after you’ve boarded the cattle car that the nice hot shower they promised you? Not so nice.

I will vote come 2022 and hope.

Richer Americans will band together to buy say 100 square miles of territory from cash-short countries and form new countries.

I understand how you feel, I first and foremost put my trust in the Lord. Secondly I there are actually a remnant of young people who true patriots, those are the ones I would support. I would also support a MAGA party that stands alone from the GOP. The rinos have hurt this country and President Trump far more that the demos.

Millions of Americans are extremely fond of Amendments II and IV.

I am fed up to, but the problem is the voters who keep sending the same old men and women back to congress because they dont have a brain to think with.

Politics is not finished with you. Steel yourselve, and rally around like-minded friends

Keep a jaundiced eye. Reject the people telling you to vote or file lawsuits or other damned nonsense. But you do need to protect yourself, gain information, hook up with like minded people, and make decisions based on what you believe is happening.

We didn’t lose. It was stolen. They will happily do it again. Just do something productive or that makes you happy.

What can I do? In the face of the coming storm, what constructive actions can we take to conserve what works and protect ourselves? Here are a few actionable solutions anyone can adopt at a personal or local level.

Find your tribe. Network, meet in person. Social media can’t censor what you say in private. This also helps you emotionally, since you’re meeting with people who support you instead of mistaking the digital lynch mobs for what matters.

Preserve conservative institutions like churches, schools and clubs. Fight social justice infiltration or pressure to submit to liberal political demands like, “you really need a BLM lecturer in here, you’ll be good if you throw up our political symbols”.
Educate. Teach your kids your values at an early age, by reading stories that share your values. Don’t let the kids go to drag queen story time or social justice story time. Protest if the school or daycare does this, or if you’re not able to do that, take your kid out and discuss the protest with other parents. Abilene Paradox – people wrongly think that the official dictate is what everyone agrees with because no one says anything against it.

Buy books that explain the conservative worldview and defend it like those by Dennis Prager. Buy books that explain why liberals and conservatives are different without demonizing them like Jonathan Haidt’s works. And start book clubs reading these books. Hello, tribe!

Fight any attempt to add social justice to codes of conduct. For example, the National Association of Realtors just implemented a policy where you can be fined or expelled for “hate speech”, public or private. Other organizations have weaker versions of this, but expect it to ramp up.

Law, medicine and social work already have rules regarding this, equating trust and respect and empathy to liberal values - so you can’t get licensed if you don’t agree. Fight this, if you don’t want to be kicked out of professional organizations if you don’t pass the liberal political litmus test.

Hire conservatives, because businesses are firing them. Assist those who have been fired for their beliefs.

2ndvote.com allows you to find conservative and neutral businesses that share your values.
You can even sort by category (restaurants, groceries, hardware, retail) or values (pro-life, 2nd amendment).

Do you like the local or national conservative talk show hosts? Buy the stuff they’re hawking, and especially use the reference or discount codes they provide. This will tell sponsors that this sponsorship is financially important to them. And that helps keep these shows on the air.

Clean your room. Sort yourself out. You can’t fix the world, but you can improve your own life and situation. Read Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University books. Get out of debt. Save up an emergency fund. If Biden’s cronies crash the economy, you’re in a much better situation. And you’re in a Christian group that can be the start of your tribe, or you can arrange classes at your church or with your networking groups to bring everyone closer together.

Encourage Sanctuary Cities/Sanctuary States on any issue you support. Second Amendment sanctuaries already exist. Pro-life Sanctuaries are far fewer but could spread. Support the groups that got these policies passed, and encourage such movements in your area. You may not be able to change federal tax and immigration policy, but you can try to preserve free speech if someone can implement a First Amendment Sanctuary law at a state level.

Use the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) college rankings on free speech to determine the least liberal schools in your area to send your kids to.

Getting involved in local politics is a way to be effective .
Support the right candidates for school boards , city councils , etc.

You can make a difference that way.
The national issues we don’t have near as much influence .

Republican politicians of every type will learn the meaning of “social justice” well.
