The War For Freedom Is Just Beginning - The midterms were one battle of a much bigger war.

I would like to say a few more words about the midterms and the fight ahead. I really do understand the despair eating away at American patriots who are heartbroken to see Islamism, communism, and general lawlessness take over the country.

As I’m sure most of you did, I suffered after the 2020 election. Perhaps the issue that bothered me most six years ago was how the public messaging “narrative” painted that election as a rejection of President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” policies, including his successful border enforcement and dedication to the resurrection of manufacturing in the United States.

Trump won eleven million more votes than he had received in his 2016 victory. No president had ever increased his support by a 20% margin and failed to win re-election; in fact, you have to go all the way back to the nineteenth century to find any president who gained votes but lost re-election. That president, Grover Cleveland, ended up winning again four years later, just as President Trump has done this century.

There were claims of election fraud when President Cleveland was first denied a second term, just as there were claims of election fraud in 2020. Nevertheless, both Cleveland and Trump were publicly ridiculed as “unpopular” and “rejected by the voters,” despite both having gained support over the course of their presidencies.

I have despised this propaganda war against Trump in 2020 and beyond because the “narrative” effort has been part of a grand scheme to rewrite history. The false story continues to be told, “See, Americans really want open borders and multinational corporations to offshore their jobs to Chinese slaves,” and the propaganda press tell this story ad nauseam. The true history reveals just the opposite — that Americans overwhelmingly believe in national sovereignty

Something looks fishy. Where did all the new votes come from?

"Where did all the new votes come from?"

Are you saying you didn't believe Joe Biden got 81 billion votes in 2020?

In 2026, we woke up in Brazil.

In 2028, we will wake up in China.

There are no bodies behind these “votes”, just a shadowy Deep State.

They’re called centrists. Independents.

They vote, too.

You’re average citizens isn’t on FR or DU. They see high gas prices, sustained price inflation, and a war 7,000 miles away that seems like a waste of time and a violation of campaign promises.

Pubbies had no message other than “the other people are baaaaad.”

Faced with this choice, they decided to dance with the Devil. Btw, this happens at every midterm.

Was there fraud? Of course. The Dems invented Tammany Hall.

But frankly, after 2020 if the Republicans can’t figure out how to combat fraud - when they DID in 2024 - they suck.

Blaming fraud every time Republicans fail is like a coach who blames the officials when his team is awful.

It’ll be a massacre in 2028 if Republicans don’t wake up and decide to Stand For Life, Liberty and Property like they did previously.

Little-by-little.

That’s how we got to where we are now. The Left has chipped away at our freedoms little-by-little.

That’s how we recover our free consitutional republic - little-by-little.

But you have to have the vision. The left never lost the vision of putting gov’t over individual freedom. The Right can’t seem to get the vision of putting individual freedom over gov’t.

Without a change, the Left wins.
