Anyone else disillusioned with politics?

I am finding myself more disillusioned with politics than ever before.

It's not just the stolen presidential election but the entire media is now anti-conservative and going for the jugular to smear and destroy.

Every article I come across you can see it and it's pretty depressing!

They have some how got this guy in office and have to rally round him and boost him. Opposition must be ridiculed/smeared and called extreme.

They're even coming after services like Parler and shutting them down.

I still logon to FR - perhaps the last free space on the internet - but generally losing enthusiasm.

Anyone else feel this way ?

I will always love America. Even if she has been stolen from me.

One of their objectives is to demoralize their enemy.

I did, since obama got elected.

Find sites, read info/online or off line that speak truth, do what you can to make a difference.

We were put here on this planet for this moment.

Many just going about their lives following “orders” (mask, taxes etc etc) wishing for their freedoms that seem to be dwindling.

Others (in the footsteps of our founding fathers) are willing to find ways to get involved and help the cause to restore our freedoms and way of life to what our founders had intended.

This is a peek at what life will be like under a Biden administration. You are not alone in your feelings, believe me. I believe there is a spiritual dimension to what is happening. What is even more appalling is the amount of Americans who are okay with this attack on free speech.

Michael Tracey: “The new corporate authoritarian liberal-left monoculture is going to be absolutely ruthless—and in 12 days it is merging with the state. This only the beginning.”

Scary stuff.

There are no politics anymore. Just narrative and propaganda to serve the government.

I believe there’s more organization to what we are seeing than I think your post suggests.

Communist Coup tactics have been employed to bring us to this point, and they are intensifying to caricatures of what “normal” life used to be.

The MSM is almost completely property of China so there are few outlets that I find bearable, and those remaining ones are being pressured, leveraged etc.

They are trying to close off all conservative voices by falsely portraying us as violent racists. The gloves are off now and they are simply raving.

But the good news is, the distorted reality we’re living in is surface deep. They know that President Trump is actually winning, even though their news cycles portray him as a defeated loser.

DC has 26K National Guard troops and other law enforcement and military groups. They are sealing off DC and requiring ID to LEAVE. This is good news - these actions serve Donald Trump’s plan to drain the swamp.

Think of all the celebrations that aren’t happening? Why aren’t Dems dancing in the streets, in business meetings etc? Why is Hollywood remarkably quiet? Where is the normal reaction had they won?

Many of us are praying as we watch President Trump go on the offensive against those who want to make the US into Venezuela. I expect you will see events unfolding that really encourage you. :)

I like your way of thinking, maybe this is the darkness before dawn.

Not disillusioned with politics, it’s always been here. Disgusted with the spineless backstabbing GOP traitors and the evil Rats.

The disillusionment happened long ago for me. Now I’m just furious.

This is the enemies goal -- to destroy hope. It is a spiritual battle.

Jesus said: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Jn 16:33

You too can be an overcomer: "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" 1Jn 5:5

It's a worthy fight.

Yup. When you have a corrupt FBI, DOJ, Mayors and Governors who condone burning down their cities, burning the American Flag, essentially inviting drug cartels and human smuggling, rewarding illegal aliens, encouraging voter fraud, a crooked Supreme Court and a Republican senate majority leader who wants to impeach the President and a VP who should be in prison, yeah, I figure the US is finished. I told my wife we better fatten up Rover because he might be dinner some time in the future like in Venezuela.

Yes!

And it was almost the entire GOP lined up against Trump.

Literally all of them...

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

My fret is that Rover will be destroyed when they come to give shots or take items we care about from our homes. The scenarios in my head are why I am awake now.

This is the way the actual political system and elections have worked since the Revolutionary War. It has just been exposed for how it works when Trump came into the presidency. We are just recently been able to see behind the curtain of how big international bankers and oligarchs control the U.S. through the European Federal Reserve Banks. We never were able to separate from Europe or British banks. The New World Order is the Old World Order only now with “masks off”. In this sense, it is the greatest period in history ever because we are now “clear sighted” about who pulls the puppet strings. The government is now shown to be a malevolent secret society not a constitutional republic. Accept disillusionment and alienation, it is the price of freedom.

You have plenty of good solid reasons for being depressed...but you must never give up...ever!!!I can assure the Democrats and Joe Biden will fail miserably. Why? Obama built no bench of talent within the party in the future. that is why they had to settle for failing Joe!!! And...I can assure you Karmala Harris is not top notch executive.

As for unbiased news, Fox has finally woken up especially at FBN, but Newsmax,Oann, RSBN are just doing fine!!!

The Inauguration coming up on Wednesday will be a full fledged Chinese Three Circus with no one there to watch and listen!!! The vast majority of Americans could care less about the Democrat Party, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, etc.

My prediction for the future of the good guy & gals, that’s us ...we win!!! Have faith and do not give The Democrat Scum & Vermin and inch...and, that is a ditto for all their fake news media!!! And...a big screw you to all the GOP Never Trumpers and Establishment low life!!!

The five stages of grief are; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Margaritas.

Cheers! Just cuz we’re going to hell in a handbasket doesn’t mean there aren’t any laughs to be had. They’ve elected a pet rock, for Pete’s sake!

It’s not just politics.

It’s the news sector, entertainment industry, professional sports, church-integration to politics and agendas, fake intellectualism, homelessness fake solutions, fake drug war, continual chatter of the home mortgage sector collapsing, ‘don’t worry about the border’ fakeness, propaganda-style news, university graduates showing 5th-grade behavior/mentality/intelligence, BLM/Antifa showing up to burn/loot black-owned businesses and never grasping that, Covid-ban rules which seem to have zero effect, and comedians who don’t seem to be funny but get call-backs to perform more shows.

Every day is a new dawn :)

some darkness only stays for as long as we choose to see/experience it.

ie:: I used to fear (horrible feeling about) nighttime, read in the bible God sings over me as I sleep. Once I knew that, my whole outlook on nighttime itself and going to sleep changed.
