How Should We Treat the Elites Who Clearly Hate Us?

Half the people in America know that the other half pretty much hates them. This half (the upper half, with control of most of the wealth and virtually all the power) considers their neighbors who own guns, go to church, and voted for Donald Trump … hateful and dangerous. Atavistic and violent. Irrational and RACIST. (Even if they’re not white.) That’s the favorite hate-term, the trump card, the smear that’s meant to silence each critic.

Anti-racism (defined in a Marxist way almost unrelated to genuine prejudice, injustice or even race) has now replaced a vague Christianity as our nation’s civic religion. As we watch the Biden regime consolidate power, the Woke cult assumes the status of state religion, and not a tolerant one. The heresy trials started decades ago on college campuses. Then they spread to our media. And corporate board-rooms. The purge proved complete, so now the witch hunt will extend to the general population. It’s coming soon to an HR department near you.

The most obvious, powerful instance? Fake racism charges (along with COVID panic) served the Democrats beautifully in dismantling election security. As you read these words, Congress is bruiting a new law, HR 1, that will enshrine 2020-style ballot box stuffing in all federal elections, forever. If passed, that bill will mean the end of fair, free, honest votes in our lifetimes.

So one-party rule would slide seamlessly into place. The Hive would mortar it in, alongside one-viewpoint news media. And heavily censored social media. And intolerant Woke education. And a corrupt...

Every person will have their own opportunities to throw sand in the gears of the machine.

Whatever they want you to do, do the opposite—quietly, legally.

If you are eligible to retire and can afford it, do it—especially if you are working for a lefty corporation or institution.

How Should We Treat the Elites Who Clearly Hate Us?

Irreconcilable differences require either war or separation. Compromise of rational principles in order to achieve dialectical synthesis is a rejection of virtue of integrity.

I had a long talk with a young relative who joined the military recently.

I told him clearly its been social-engineered and politicized well beyond what it was when grandpa went to war in WWII, or uncle George in Vietnam.

Don’t ever be a part of oppressing Americans, because there are evil, power-hungry people who will want to push the military in that direction.

I work for a lefty institution because all major universities from coast to coast are communist indoctrination centers. Liberty University, Hillsdale College, and a few small Christian colleges are the exceptions. I work for Auburn but cannot afford to retire right now. Auburn is sometimes listed as one of the most conservative schools in the country but that is based upon the student body and NOT what is being taught.

P.S. Ignore them and their edicts to the greatest extent possible!

[HereInTheHeartland]

Good advice!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Excellent add:

“The fight moves back to local and state, maybe where it should be.”

Where it ALWAYS should be! :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“If the Dems want to raise taxes on the rich, we need to JOIN THEM.”

I like this idea, too. However, make sure you’re keeping your own assets well hidden! Don’t doubt that they’re gunning for us, too! ;)

RE post 4. Excellent ideas.

The elites are far less than half of the population, and Trump got far more than half of the votes cast. What they do is rule by propaganda and divide and conquer tactics. These people have destroyed the family to divide men and women. Presently, they are focused on appealing to a certain minority of leftists and minority groups through identity politics. The best non-violent solutions are an economic boycott of Big Tech, "big box" stores, and Chinese manufactured goods. This also lends itself to (legal) tax avoidance. Politically we need to focus on state and local politics to push election reform, and get the 34 states needed for a second constitutional convention. Don't look for someone else to rescue you. Look in the mirror and start there.

By re-electing them back to be masters over us. We need to re-elect Graham, and Collins and McConnell. We need to keep the majority, blah, blah, blah. Yeah hows the crap working out?

[View from the Cheap Seats]

Read about PEADS. Trump card.

There should also be a national college tuition cap.

Live below your means. Stay out of debt. Work on reducing your tax base. Stop feeding the beast!

Here's another idea to stop feeding the beast. If you drink, learn to make your own beer, wine, mead, etc. As long as you don't sell it, it's perfectly legal in limited quantities, and as gifts to family, but distilling whiskey is illegal. Government makes a lot of money from taxes on alcoholic beverages, and legally avoid paying that as much as possible.

Our so called leaders speak
With words they try to jail ya
They subjugate the meek
But it’s the rhetoric of failure...

[yldstrk]

People need to quit sucking up to rich people. I know a ton of miserable, horrible rich people. I would much rather play catch or scrabble or tennis with someone who isn’t impressed by money.

[vpintheak]

With disdain. Ignore them and tell them to shut up and go away as much as you can.
Don’t donate to any of their campaigns. Doing so is an endorsement of them.
Live free, or die.
