On 2020, Some Thoughts from Abraham Lincoln

Conservatives have always recovered, and the Democrats look messy.

It was Nov. 3, 1992. Bill and Hillary Clinton managed to move into the White House with Al Gore toting the luggage. The Democrats had the House by a 258-176 margin. Democrats had the Senate by a 57-43 margin. Fledgling Rush Limbaugh was only as politically influential as Weird Al Yankovic. It was all over for conservatives.

But, in two short years, on Nov. 8, 1994 the Republicans had gained 54 seats in the House and overtook the advantage 230-204. Conservatives recovered.

Then, it was Nov. 5, 2008. Barack Obama and his Chinese/Ukrainian sidekick had won the White House. The Democrats had the House by a 257-178 margin. Democrats had the Senate 58 to 42. Surviving Republicans were practically reduced to tour guides in the National Mall area. It was all over for conservatives.

But, in two short years, on Nov. 2, 2010 the Republicans gained 63 seats in the House and overtook the advantage 241-194. Conservatives recovered.

So, given the above should our present conservative situation be considered doomed upon a Joe Biden coronation? Well ...

Comparing Biden’s 2020 political scorecard to 1992 and 2008 is no comparison at all. The down-ballot Democrat performance in 2020 lacked even an inference of overall public support for the Democrat agenda -- whatever that is -- with significant House member reductions and minimal impact on the Senate.

Additionally, the Democrat party has established an unstable alliance of an aging, alleged moderate and his Clintonesque leftovers; a radical California progressive; Marxist radical Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa; and a congressional bartender and her sickle-hammered comrades. BLM is already tapping their fingers on the desk waiting for payback.

Yeah, well they won’t recover this time around.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: The Badass President

[Raceway]

The libs gave up trying to change our minds and decided they would win by replacing the voting population with social justice indoctrinated peasants.

[Leaning Right]

Here’s my favorite Lincoln quote. It’s worth remembering in times like these.

Nice history lesson, only problem is this time the Bush League Republicans are cooperating with the vote fraud and will give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens.

There is no voting our way out this time.

All of these scenarios had one thing in common: Americans, almost to a rule, thought that election fraud was a focused illegality, confined to the inner precincts of cities like Chigago and Philadelphia.

We now have a situation with indisputable proof to back it up, that there was widespread, coordinated election fraud, and the government has not only shown no inclination to punish the illegality, but are actually complicit in hiding it and in conjunction with a compliant and willing media in coordination with Big Tech, hiding it from view and quarantining the information.

I am going to guess that there are 50-80 million Americans who understand this situation right now, that we do not choose our representation, that our representation is chosen FOR us.

That is a terrible and destructive realization.

If this stands, it will mean the disintegration of this nation. It may not disintegrate today, tomorrow, or even in 20 years, but this is the seed that is going to make it happen if it stands.

[rlmorel]

Yes. See my post above.

It's much easier to snipe and criticize than to actually govern. No matter how well you serve the people, liberals will always tell you how they would have done better. And people believe, and put them in power, then immediately regret it.

Democrats make promises to get elected, then break them to enrich themselves or their cronies, then are surprised they don't get re-elected.

That's the way it's been for decades, as the author points out.

What's scary - what's different - is that the libs don't need your vote any more. They can make their own, or steal yours. They don't have to keep any promises, perform or deliver anything, and they'll still get re-elected. Anything short of open revolt is acceptable. Let the looting begin!
