I think that a common theme among my conservative correspondents is: “is this the end of free elections?” Will our Democratic friends be fixing all the presidential elections from here on out? Will I have to bow to the liberal mob if I want a job? And so on.
I guess that I have a more optimistic outlook on things. But why, I asked myself? Here are a few.
First, I concur with Crane Brinton in The Anatomy of Revolution. He writes that a Reign of Terror is a sign that the prophecy of the revolution -- that heaven on earth was right around the corner -- was failing.
Second, I go with Gaetano Mosca in The Ruling Class. He writes that a good ruling class, one that is likely to stick around, is one that has a “political formula” that resonates with the masses. But our ruling class’s political formula right now seems to be the “oppressed peoples, allies, white oppressors” narrative that even showed up in the Snowflake Penguins incident. The Snowflakes at the South Pole had just been to Allyship training!

@realchrisrufoKey detail: the publisher had been hosting "antiracist and allyship" trainings since June. Once this ideological framework is established, emotional blackmail and censorship demands are its natural consequences.
It's not for "diversity"—it's for control.
Just between you and me -- and don’t tell the nice liberal lady with the Hate Has No Home Here yard-sign -- I think that the “oppressed peoples, allies, white oppressors” political formula is a cruelly exclusive doctrine that cuts out the great middle of America. No ruling class with half a brain would go for a political formula like that.

79 million man and women army ready to fight, we can do much damage if we stick together
We are going to see the Demonrats exposed for what they are:
Rotten to the Core
Its also a foreign influence. The coupis run in conjunction with the EU,and China.
Mosst of the world wants to use the USA as a cash cow
And that number is very conservative. Add the “followers” category who suddenly find their courage after seeing others go first, and I’d estimate the number to possibly be 85-90 million.
We shall see. Praying to God that it doesn’t come to that. If Pres. Trump isn’t giving up, neither will I.
Will never be able to comprehend how he endures all he’s put up with over the last 4 years.
Now is the time. Every single voter in PA, WI, AZ, Georgia, and Nevada should show up in person at the door of the state legislative houses and demand that their representatives take action to negate their disenfranchisement.
The Democrats probably don't have a plan, but their backers have certainly considered this problem and how to deal with it.
the fact they do so..and believe they can get away with it...is OUR fault..We the People.
But our ruling class’s political formula seems banked solely on self-styled "victimization"......
via the “me-oppressed, you-white oppressors”. Their policeman-bad slapdown lost Democrats several House seats.

Here's one of the eternal president Obama's "bright ideas" that flopped.
In Massive Blow To Obama and Holder, Republicans Handily Won Virtually Almost Every House Race
Huge Loss for Obama's dream: a permanent Dem majority
Thegatewaypundit.com ^ | November 20 2020 | Mike LaChance / FR Posted by SmokingJoe
.....one aspect of the 2020 race is being overlooked even though it’s huge. Not only did Republicans make considerable gains in the House, that no one expected, they won most of the races that will entail redistricting. This is like a double loss for Democrats Every 10 years, after the census, congressional and state legislature districts are redrawn to maximize the number of districts that favor their party — a tactic known as gerrymandering. And as we wrote last month, the 2020 election represented the last chance for voters to weigh in on who would draw those maps.
Both parties went into the election with a chance to draw more congressional districts than the other, but the end result was just about the best-case scenario for end result was just about the best-case scenario for Republicans. As the map below shows, Republicans are set to control the redistricting of 188 congressional seats — or 43 percent of the entire House of Representatives. By contrast, Democrats will control the redistricting of, at most, 73 seats, or 17 percent.
How did Republicans pull that off? By winning almost every 2020 election in which control of redistricting was at stake… (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

CIRCA 2019 Obama and Holder take on partisan gerrymandering with redistricting
SOURCE https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-08-27/obama-partisan-gerrymandering-redistricting-u-initiative
Aug 27, 2019 — In one of his first public political actions since he left the White House, Obama unveiled Redistricting U on Twitter as an in-person training arm ...All On The Line, launched earlier this year, is a combination of Obama's "Organizing For Action" and former Attorney General Eric Holder's "National Redistricting Action Fund."

CIRCA 2019 Ex-President Barack Obama announced a new initiative that will help volunteers influence redistricting efforts in states across the country. "Redistricting U," an extension of his "All On The Line" campaign, will send trainers to provide free training and tools to volunteers about their state redistricting process, gather feedback on ways to improve their communities and teach them how to be leaders in the fair map movement, according to the initiative's website.
All On The Line, launched earlier this year, is a combination of "Obama's Organizing For Action" and former Attorney General "Eric Holder's National Redistricting Action Fund."
Obama said he has always believed "training is at the heart of organizing." "It's why I made it a priority in my 2008 campaign and throughout our larger movement for change in the years since," Obama said in a statement on the group's website.
He added, "The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade. And we can't wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up -- right now."
This is the latest effort by Obama to push for voting reform and fight against gerrymandering. The Obamas have long pushed for increased voter participation and fought against partisan gerrymandering.

Even the Chinese must be sick of Biden's smug, self-satisfied pose....
and that annoying Chiclet grin.
‘Most of the world wants to use the USA as a cash cow’
Truer words were never spoken. A UK relative of mine slammed my Christianity (she’s an atheist) asking ‘whatever happened to love thy neighbor?’, in reference to the Climate Change deal. All the other countries want us to PAY FOR EVERYTHING. All a part of the Global plan.
Heheh. Xi will slap that lopsided grin off Joe’s face. And Joe will be picking up his chiclets off the floor.
While we’re thinking about our House wins, Xi is thinking about “Red Dawn.”
That I would pay to see.
Joe won’t be around long. He was just a prop to get them to the White House. He controls nothing, an incontinent old buffoon. Even Kamala is meant to be propped up as a disguise for their backroom of controllers.
.
In fact, it is probably happening right now.
It’s Penam and the rest of the country are the districts.
