As Snoopy said, when he refused a dish of crappy cheap cut-rate dog food that Charlie Brown tried to give him, "The eye can be deceived but the nose knows."
Things stink when they are rotten or toxic, and your nose warns you. You are wise to heed your nose.
Voting for poison is voting for poison whether it's dished up by a Republican or a Democrat.
People -- and I was one for three decades -- pretending otherwise by "holding their noses" is how we got here.
Reagan didn't win because people held their noses to vote for him -- he won because Americans knew he believed in them. Obama (and indeed most of the left, such as Al Franken) only won because Democrats had to harvest and manufacture votes, bribe homeless to the polls (people who would never bother to vote otherwise, and rightly), push restrictions on voter ID, frustrate the military vote, sic the IRS on the left's political enemies, and resort to outright vote fraud. Not to mention failing to impose perfectly justifiable requirement that able-bodied on welfare necessarily then relinquish their voting franchise.
We are a MAJORITY over whom a tyrannical minority that cheated to get where it is, is trying to clamp control. We hate this. It's why America looks the way it does today, with hundreds of thousands of bikers converging on Washington DC on 911, and many thousands protesting in DC on Oct. 13, hauling away barricades blocking national monuments and piling those barricades in front of the White House. There were thousands of Americans of every age, color, and type. Regular Americans they were.
The MSM ignored it and failed to tell America and the world, or to show it.
If elections were counted per legitimate votes, America would be a lot freer and more moral today.
The media's spell and illusion is a difficult one to break, but it is an illusion in any case and all illusions fail when reality hits the fan. Too many rabbit-hearted Republicans and conservatives think "everybody else" is the way the MSM paints it in front of them. They have come to loath and hate with the ardor of Frenchmen that "most Americans are dumb as a box of rocks." Hooray America.
The MSM's snapshot of America is an illusion that looks real, like a balsa wood train bridge on a movie set. For good or for bad, when reality hits, when the real locomotive tries to use it, it's going to collapse. The reality is that productive Americans are dominated by a freedom-loving majority. It has been cocooned by the liberal (with authority and tax $) left minority.
And these are the consequences.

I held my nose for the last time in 2008. No more
