We just had municipal elections here in Fairbanks and the Fairbanks North Star Borough. With one exception we are now run by leftist lunatics. There was a rip roaring 18% turnout. So 82% of voters don't care what happens to them. Fairbanks has joined Anchorage, Seattle, Portland, and Frisco in gong down the toilet. I am here for the natural wonder of the place, but the government here is absolute sewage.
I had no idea it was that bad! Thank you for posting about it.
That’s what the liberal leftists demoncRATS bank on is lower turnout during the election. Plus, that politicians who are trying to push tax increases also bank on lower voter turnout. Sad but true.
Why aren’t you and other conservatives in Fairbanks working to get out the vote?
This is the type of information most people will never hear in the lower 48. Thank you for informing us!

Description
In one of his most powerful speeches yet, Charlie offers a blistering critique of our current political moment, positing as a starting point that we have lost the country we all thought we knew and loved, the country we grew up in. The question then becomes how do we get it back? Charting a 30-50 year plan on retaking the institutions from the cultural Marxists, Charlie dissects the strengths and weaknesses of each political movement, left and right, and explains what it will take from each of us to win back the nation we love.
Is it that easy to crap on the people who are trying?
It’s whatever they put in the coffee.
Things sure have changed since I lived there (Anchorage) in the ‘70s and ‘80s. A great place to be then!
I’m not crapping on anyone. I’m pointing out that when voter turnout is 18%, the piece of the political system that is broken is the “we the people” piece.
If you’re part of the solution, good for you, but you need to try harder if you weren’t able to use your contacts to get more conservatives to the polls.
And if you didn’t do anything but bitch, shame on you.
Or did you expect Fox News to do all the heavy lifting? Is it “someone else’s fault” that the evil left managed to out-perform conservatives in Fairbanks?
If you want to learn some techniques to help you WIN politically, I strongly suggest that book link I posted earlier.
Please accept my sincerest apologies. It could happen to any of us, and probably is happening to many of us right now.
I have fond memories of Fairbanks and Anchorage. I’m not sure all of the places where we were when we went there (I was 10 years old, and a long way from home -central Florida). We went in the summer, and it was a new experience me. We had to use black out blinds so we could go to sleep. It seemed like it was daylight for nearly 24 hours. I’m sure that’s not right, but that’s what I recall the feeling was.
Did work at Ft Greely and Ft Wainright….absolute beauty in the hinterlands…sorry only 3,000+ people in Fairbanks felt it was important enough to vote.
I wonder if anybody has done a study on voting trends in areas of legal weed. What else makes free men so apathetic and numb?

Excellent point!
Thx Tick. I get one every now and then when I use the thinker. If there is one wish for America I could make come true, it would be to Free Your Mind and Tune in.
The ranked-choice voting and democrats voting for republicans is typical in Alaska. Republicans had Jim Miller as the Republican candidate and write ins voted for murkowski so she won. She won again as the rank-choice voting candidate. It’s the big cheat and now Fairbanks will be screwed. Disgusting
Can’t understand why there always seems to be so much emphasis on a loser. I’m prretty sure that we in the lower states were a vote against Murkowski this time. There are some folks that sensible people just don’t vote for. That is, WHEN they actually vote.
