A few years ago, we got a conservative school board for the first time in generations. They promised to stop the forced busing and other asinine programs. They campaigned on it and fulfilled on their promises. We have the second largest school district in the country and the Democrats couldn’t let this happen without a fight. They organized “Moral Mondays” to vent their outrage over the “controversial school board” and never reported any good news.

When it came time for the next election, the media went on offense and kept reporting that education results continued to drop in NC. They weren’t lying directly but were lying by omission because our district was the one bright spot in the whole State. The result of all of the negative press was a return to the Democrats in the next election.

They are following this gameplan with Trump and it’s very worrying. The media knows he can’t win with just the political junkies like us. He needs average Americans just going about their lives and all they are hearing is bad news since he was elected. It has an effect. 2-3% is all it would take.

Yes, that’s why they don’t care about how ridiculous or idiotic it is. Because they know that fools will fall for it. And that’s all they need in some spots - 2% to 3%.

These people believe that if we get rid of Trump, we'll return to The Way Things Were Before, as if MAGA never happened.

They couldn't be more wrong. There's no going back.

Force out President Trump and put a uniparty swamp dweller in his place and there's going to be consequences.

Agreed. There are millions of people who only see the headlines on social media or hear the latest soundbite from late night TV. It’s been nonstop negativity and almost no positive stories about the economy.

The coup plotters should keep the following statistic in mind.

400,000,000 guns in private hands in the U.S.
2% of that is 8,000,000.

stop funding the LEFT is all I can say. We know they run the show, we know they lie to us, we know they want to destroy us and millions of us keep sending them a check.

The complaints are getting old and not doing anything about it.

Complaining about the leaky roof aint gonna keep it from eventually caving in.

Yes, and the 3 main networks still dominate the news cycle right?
