On the morning of November 3, I texted a friend about how proud I was of America. After all the vilification, Trump would win because the system works. The last thing I said to my son-in-law as I went to bed that night was, "Don't worry. They can't overcome a nine-point lead in Pennsylvania. Trump is going to win."
How could I have been so blind? Because I had faith in the law. As the most destructive interstate crime campaign in American history was playing out, videos emerged (Philadelphia, Detroit, Gary) of authorized poll-watchers being barred from entering election headquarters by latter-day Bull Connors. Other poll-watchers were frog-marched out of buildings. Why did law-abiding people obey the criminals? Why didn't they go full Rosa Parks and refuse to move? Or Gandhi up with passive resistance and have to be dragged out of buildings? Why did they shuffle out like segregated blacks going to the back of the bus?
Would BLM or Antifa blackshirts plead for lawful entry while pathetically presenting credentials? Was it fear of arrest? The Republican poll-watchers didn't look afraid as they submitted to felonious leftists. Just as I believed in the election, they did as they were told because the essence of the reverential American political orientation is faith in the law. Furthermore, it is abhorrent to the character structure that underlies that orientation to make a public scene.
The American right and left wings can be conceptualized as two incompatible political orientations: reverential and deconstructivist. The former sustains America as a constitutional republic. The goal of reverentialism is summarized in Jefferson's description of God-given freedoms protected by just operation of law, which descends from the Constitution. Reverentialism believes that the Constitution should be literally interpreted but can be changed by amendment, as has happened .

They win because they control all aspects of culture.
Politics is downstream of culture. If we want to start winning, let’s start re-capturing culture.
The Dems control the Deep State, so they hav a lot more power to manipulate things.
Secession. It’s the only way.
They’re not winning. Trump did win. We did win, we are winning and we know it. That’s why it’s so quiet while we wait. The media is not so much very quiet about it as they are ignored. Trump won despite the media’s obstruction and it knows it.
They win the culture war because they pour money, lots of money on things that influence people’s opinion. They also shut out through Monopolistic tactics and crony Capitalism any competing idea.
Cancel culture is one example of cultural monopolism.
“They win because they control all aspects of culture.
Politics is downstream of culture. If we want to start winning, let’s start re-capturing culture.”
And it all starts in the public schools. Once they figured out we would let them indoctrinate the young without consequence, it was over for us.
People have been seceding for years from the states they used to live in and some are even planning on seceding again to a new state because the one they thought they wanted to be in is now fully corrupted by incoming Californians.
All this does is surrender new ground to progressives. This is a loser’s plan to keep surrendering and surrendering until there’s nothing left to bargain with.
I agree.
There is no miracle. Trump is not planning to leave the Whitehouse. Biden knows it. They have even dismantled the inauguration stands in front of the Whitehouse. Now Biden says he will swear in at the Capitol building. Maybe Glenn Beck will swear him in on a compass. 😄
I agree, but what are we doing to build things that influence people’s opinion?
They own the media, social media, the schools, and now the Courts.
As I examined my shame about believing in a lawful election, I thought about the horrific criminality that has descended upon America. I work in a poor community. I have knowledge of two serious crimes, a murder and a devastating home break-in. In both cases, the victims know the perpetrators, but months later, no arrests have been made. Left-wing deconstructivism has visited this lawlessness upon our nation, and more is planned.
Even if by some miracle Trump remains president, the criminal left will keep winning, winning, winning because we are playing their game. I won't be fooled again. America is no longer one nation under God. One road ahead is armed rebellion. It is justified but won't solve the problem. Neither will political secession. Our liberty remains God-given, and we don't need a new Constitution. America's better half, the 75 million–plus whose votes were stolen, need to face that we live in a nation controlled by hostile occupiers.
We can't kill them, but we can stop playing by their rules. We need a written charter to establish a massive, subnational economic partition, social apartheid, moral renaissance, and a sacred oath to uphold reverential ideals. We can stop giving deconstructivists money. We need our own currency with a preferential dollar exchange rate for members, our own culture, our own police. These changes are happening piecemeal with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and social media like Parler. But we must proceed, economically and culturally, in an organized, comprehensive manner, canceling and replacing left-wing corporations, media, and educational institutions.
The deconstructivists need us. We do not need them.
She spends her entire column vilifying the Left for destroying the rule of law then suggests the solution is.... more laws?!
This problem is they have for a long time and we have done nothing about it expecting it to go away I guess.
Secession won’t work ‘cuz there is no way to divvy up the country.
The divide is Urban vs. rural and suburban. The enemy is just down the highway half an hour or so.
I have more faith in young people than that. American young people. They are hungry for the truth
They win because they control all aspects of culture.
Including media, academia, Hollywood, and deep state. They control all aspects of the infrastructure of this country, and the Christian right let them have it.
“They own the media, social media, the schools, and now the Courts.“
Look at each one and see where they are headed. Juxtapose those images with the once great cities.
‘This problem is they have for a long time and we have done nothing about it expecting it to go away I guess.’
We’ve done nothing?
People here are not the same people who attend rallies, I imagine. They sound more like democrat plants sent here to discourage.
Forget it. This is just getting started.
