I am aware of competing schools of thought on FR regarding whether we should post and discuss deceptive articles like on this thread. There are good arguments for both. Although I am reluctant to give additional airtime to lies, sometimes the trade-off seems worth it.
In this particular instance, I was motivated by my disappointment in the midterm election results as well as the perceptions of those I know personally. I had thought that media corruption has been so over-the-top obvious these past couple of years that reasonable Americans would punish Trump's opponents in the midterms. Unfortunately, the results imply that the media has been sufficiently effective and enough people are (willfully?) blind. Yes, electoral fraud likely contributed, but nevertheless it's disappointing that so many races were so close. Since my interactions with people around me corroborate the election results, I reposted this Hill article to emphasize how effective these lies continue to be, to warn against sticking our heads in the sand, and to continue the good fight against this deception.
Thank you all for being a bastion of sanity. I don't frequently post, but lurk often. President Trump is a hero. Regards,
Based on the mids, I guess a lot of people can be fooled a lot of the time. A whole lot of bliss goin’ on out there.
Happy New Year!
You’re welcome.
Good post, nicely written.
I watched every Trump rally before the midterms. People stood in lines for long hours in freezing cold and rain!! President Trump had capacity crowds with overflow numbers almost as large as those inside. RATs had almost non-existent crowds. The midterm results made absolutely no sense except for massive voter fraud and corruption. The voting machines have to be looked at as well. Not for a minute do I believe the media had an impact on the Marxist RATs winning. In California, motor voter aka illegals voting, the dead voting, and ballot harvesting gave the people of California the next human waste to occupy the Governor’s mansion and the Assembly.
Until serious investigation into the “organized voter fraud,” is done followed with prosecution for those found guilty and lengthy prison time is meted out, the nation is in peril. Anyone financing the voter fraud must be exposed and join the others in prison.
I wouldn’t read too much negative into the midterm election results - it is normal for opposition party to pick up seats - the slight Republican gains in the Senate actually qualifies 2018 as an upset for Trump.
Another general observation about the lack of “significance” to the Dems’ gaining control of the House: I believe 90% of voters are so low information that they may as well be flipping a coin. That is why elections are do close to 50/50 regardless of merits or lack thereof.
I predict Trump will win in 2020 with a comfortable electoral college of 350 or so, but another popular vote squeaker. The 10% intelligent people will vote 60/40 for Trump, while the 90% “coin flippers” will be 50/50 - so that’s 51/49 Trump - a squeaker on the surface, but yet a solid win in the demographic that means something: the 10% of high information voters.
Trump is doing a fantastic job - he’s a fighter and he has chosen the right side in the war of Liberty vs. government Tyranny. He will never get any credit from the lying leftist media - and the polls they conduct will never reflect his politics successes.
But do not despair - he is winning.
