I’m not saying these people aren’t recruited by White Hats. Lord knows Republicans could use a better eye toward recruitment. Maybe some good guys did the recruiting. I dunno.
Getting active locally to help get good congresspeeps elected is a worthy activity. (Plus county commissioners and whatnot). Even if statewide/presidential elections are stolen (which they are so far except for 2016, which the good guys unrigged enough so Trump could win), getting good people in Congress is vital.
