What comes next are the gulags for us who dare to disagree with liberals.

Well I am guessing you are in Texas, can you keep a couple of longhorns in the back yard?

The author lays out simple ways for the GOP to fix this.

Just like how, in football, winning is simple: “Get the ball over the goal line”.

Not mentioned is the bit about how the other team is going to be fighting you every step of the way, and scheming on ways to defeat your initiatives.

The ruling-class are, and always have been, the only TRUE members of "The Club" who occasionally(and facetiously)call themselves Republicans and Democrats.

The rest who identify as such have merely been useful idiots, tools used as a means to an end.

‘Instead, they urged their voters not to take advantage of the loosened rules and to vote the old-fashioned way.’

this is why I don’t think the post mortem of this election can simply be whining and moaning about ‘the steal’; both sides were playing by the same rules, and since the pubs knew precisely what the other side would do, to urge their voters to not do the same is beyond insane...it’s as if two football teams were playing a title game, and one of the coaches said they would be using the recently loosened holding rules to gain the edge and the other coach said we’re going to play by the old set of rules...when the second coach loses, grumbling is all he has left...

but that, in the end, would not have been enough; the real problem, which will only get worse in the coming years, is thee are simply more dems than pubs, and, when motivated, they will win on numbers alone, regardless of systems being used...

‘It was not the civil war that lead to “Jim Crow” laws it was the political environment post civil war.’

ah yes; had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that blacks were considered ‘chattel property’ prior to the war, eh...?

Get on your State legislators demand they change the rules regarding elections.

Excellent idea. It could be improved, though, by a legal source creating petitions modified for each state, to correct their current voting laws by petition. It should also provide a manual of how to protect the petition(s) from government dirty tricks like we saw in the election.

What? I am talking politics not racial injustices. During Reconstruction carpet baggers helped a lot of black leaders to take political office, state wide and locally. Many whites could not even run for office at that time. Especially in local governments, there was as sense that blacks were using there new found political power to get a little pay back against whites. Black politicians had the backing of the Federal troops and the carpet baggers. History likes to jump from Blacks were elected to the Klan. But a lot happened in between. When the Federal troops left, whites began to run for office again and gradually took back control. Once whites took back control they began to pass laws that prevented blacks from taking political control again. Those were the beginning of the “Jim Crow” laws. As a side note some black politicians were actually popular and remained in political office for some time after Reconstruction.

The point is no longer Black and White, it is Red and Blue. The Blue urbanized globalists and Big Tech Carpet Baggers have regained power. Stand by for revenge against Red voters by the Blues.

That is a great idea. I will see if I can find someone locally who can help. I would take the petition to guns shows. I just need someone who understands election laws.

Not reaching a lot of folks? Too many of them are unreachable, and when the borders are thrown open, there will be lots more of them. It’s difficult to compete with “free” stuff.

I am with you. I am looking at the Patriot Party I’ve been hearing so much about.

Yep, only people with a Social Credit Score of 3 or above will be able to vote.

I’m not joking, it’s coming.

There is nothing the GOP could have done in the face of such extensive voter fraud.

Tragically, CW2 is the optimistic scenario.
