Anyone else disillusioned with politics?

There is no more politics. There is only war.

We have been conquered and must take our country back by force.

Our system is destroyed.

[Republicanprofessor]

I am definitely disillusioned.

We now listen to classical music throughout the house instead of constant news.

It is much more peaceful.

When Chinese artists of the Ming Dynasty disagreed with their corrupt politics, the artists retreated into the countryside to create art, practice their calligraphy etc.

I can relate to that.

I hope everybody is disgusted with the "D vs R" garbage. EVERYBODY in DC after Jan 20 is guilty of treason. No exceptions.

I could not agree more if I tried!

[GranTorino]

I had spent long hours penning elaborate letters to my politicians. For many weeks I have done this.Little or no response. None positive.
I wrote my final letters to these RINO scum several days ago. I also wrote my dem senator for the first time.
What great words did I write to end this tradition on a firm statement?
NUTS.

I’m sure everyone feels this way to some extant. The more we fight the more we seem to lose. But if we stop, it’s going to get far worse. I’m winding down the amount of news I’ll read or watch. But I’m pushing my legislators to sign onto a Convention of States. That seems the only vehicle we have to stop the B/H administration.

[BiglyCommentary]

Beautiful! Is your name from the Clint Eastwood movie or just the vehicle ?

[blueplum]

Disillusioned? oh helltotheno

More determined than ever to fight (figuratively) the corruptness and crazyness in Congress. If senior democrat leaders in Congress and DC knew of credible threats to the rally and/or Capitol and failed to inform the President or provide security for the people, and then manipulated a preventable occurance into an impeachment where evidence was intentionally withheld from common knowledge, people gotta pay with some serious jail time.

Eric Greitens said on Jan 13
BREAKING: @jsolomonreports
says DC police rejected his FOIA request for records pertaining to their investigation of the siege of the U.S. Capitol.

Reply says release of the records would be ‘personally embarrassing”
Solomon says @FBI, @NYPD, and@USCP had prior knowledge of plans for violence at U.S. Capitol, including intel threatening murder of police officers.

If this was a planned attack, you can’t accuse the President of inciting a spontaneous attack. This was planned days before.

On Jan 14, Donald Trump Jr. added,
“If these federal law enforcement agencies had prior knowledge that this was a planned attack then POTUS didn’t incite anything. If he didn’t incite anything then Nancy Pelosi and the Dems used impeachment on yet another sham political witch-hunt.”

On Jan 15, JackPosobiec added:
Antifa supporter Daniel Alan Baker was just arrested for plotting an attack on Trump supporters on Inauguration Day.

He trained in Syria in 2017 with the YPG, was featured on VICE, and in 2020 participated in the CHAZ insurrection in Seattle, per DOJ documents

(no word yet on who set the pipe bombs meant to harm rally goers)(also no word if the above Baker was involved in the assassination of two teens in Chaz/Chop)

Steady on, Deplorables. Chin up, Eyes forward.

You are not alone mate. However, I would not describe myself as “disallusioned”. I’m way beyond that and into territory for which I can’t find words.

[Steven Tyler]

You are not alone in your observations and feelings

[grobdriver]

The five stages of grief are;
Denial The morning of 4 November,
Anger All of the rest of November,
Bargaining Failed lawsuits - failed because no judge would hear the evidence,
Depression Today, and
Margaritas. Looking forward to the Margaritas.

What has happened to “Q” and words of encouragement, what has happened to “We have it all”, What has happened to WWG1WGA?, What happened to “America will never be a socialist country?” I am discouraged this morning.

[nathanbedford]

we aren't looking for "relief", just some room to fight.

Agreed. But after we find the technology solution to give us room to fight it is vital that we understand what it is we are fighting.

I contend that the political mischief the Democrats are doing is but the symptom of their pernicious philosophy, their epistemology, which makes it almost impossible to win any argument regardless of the technology platform from which our argument is launched.

We have got to win the argument institution by institution until the media is cracked. When I am informed of my granddaughter's curriculum in University I begin to understand why she is a vegetarian, a lefty, and hopelessly brainwashed. She was not sent off to university as a robot but as a bright, independent thinking seventeen-year-old.

We lost the fight in the universities and indeed through the entire educational establishment until postmodernism has leeched out into every environment and poisoned every political discourse.

That is the fight.

“It’s going to take a while to get over it.”

Unless i start taking Stupid Pills , or get and stay pissant drunk, I don’t think me ‘getting over it’ is going to happen in my lifetime.

the entire media is now anti-conservative

Rush is still there!

President Trump is either playing dead or he is letting down his entire base with his silence and lack of direction. Ever since he got covid he seems to be very confused and off his game. He needs to go down with a fight or he’s going to lose everything!

[Bonemaker]

Problem is just that. We love and want to preserve America as we know and understand it. On the other side, they want to destroy what we love. The democrats are only interested in the furtherance of their control, ideology and agenda and don’t give a shit about the concept and well-being of America.

Shame on me for not recognizing this essay as one of nathanbedford's until the 5th paragraph.

Among our other great contributors here, you've nailed it again!

Naïvely, I'd always expressed politics as being the "Science of People". I should have added, "where 'political inertia' can do grave harm to democracies".

[Does so]

DC Police are not subject to FOIA.

[Does so]

The after-effects of Covid include confusion.

The MSM will not let China Joe and Ho fail. Every problem will be Trumps fault
