6 MONTHS OR LESS, THEY ALREADY HAVE IT PLANNED, READY TO GO, AND THE GOP COWARDS WON’T STOP THEM, THEY LIKE BEING SLAVES ‘UNDERDOGS’. PP WILL BE IN FULL FORCE AGAIN.

No doubt their ground game is 1000% better than the GOP, remember HR1

Slightly different perspective. First, yes to voting. Second I feel that conservatives need to focus on two things.

The first is being part of the economic success. Right now government in most states is killing most small business. In a few months, it will be time to take what little money in savings you have or money you can scrape together from friends and family to invest in a small business. We need to be part of the solution, as democrats will never be able to start the small business people hiring machine.

The second thing is to start to politically organize at the grass roots level. The other day, I got an email from the NRA/ILA asking me to sign up for a grass roots organizing seminar to become a better ambassador of 2nd Amendment rights. I think that doing so and joining a county Republican Committee and paying dues is also a good idea.

On a practical and personal level, I think that adjusting your investments to understand that this county will have serious inflation and higher taxes. I also think that it will take quite a while for the unemployment rate to drop down to the levels we saw before Covid hit.

I also think we are likely to seem some food disruptions. As such planting an early “victory garden” will probably be a good idea.

On a personal protection basis, now is the time to purchase any high capacity magazines you might need in the future. Similarly, while there are shortages in modern rifles and their parts, it is time if you have an AR platform to buy an essential parts kit and if you can find one a “lower” stripped receiver or else an 80% receiver. I think that Biden will make completing an 80% receiver a criminal action.

While a bad 2 to 4 years, I think it won't be as bad as some think, simply because Democrats are their own worst enemy. I foresee that they will botch the vaccine roll out, the economic recovery. They will likely anger people with their policies and accomplish little due to infighting.

“Biden is America’s Chernenko’

Very good analogy.

We’ve survived Democrats plenty of times before. Chicken Littles acting like thei is the last election ever, or anything very different from Clinton or Obama are annoying and undermine all credibility.

Since the Dems have perfected election theft with this last fiasco, there is no hope of out voting the swine. The lefts actions are parallel with the Bolshevik/ Marxist/ Leninists after the Russian revolution and subsequent Stalinist purges. Total collapse is the only thing that brought that disaster to a semi end.

This is the most defeatist post election article I’ve read yet. Exactly how the left would want us to react.

"Now, it's true that I can't guarantee that your vote as a conservative or as a Trumper will be determinative of our country's future. Far from it. In fact, I can't even guarantee that it will be counted in the first place."

It's guaranteed, if you'll listen. Let's get young people into those bad neighborhoods as poll workers! The left was shouting for young leftist recruits to do exactly that many months ago. They beat us unfairly, but they outdid us strategically just the same.

Young people, you can be secret agents, actors and actresses for your country! Like chameleons! Our heroes and heroines! Patience, self-discipline, courage,... On to victory!

I’m conflicted on that - save like a banshee or spend like a drunken sailor on home improvement.

The first fight is at the state legislatures. What is neededs is to revamp the election rules, processes and oversight. The courts are not enforcing the laws that the state legislatures are passing. To fix this, the oversight needs to be taken back into the legislature.

Ultimately, is a county is found to not be following state laws, the the legislature needs a “kill button” that removes the entire county’s votes. I.e Fulton County, you are not allowing GOP monitors in as required by law, no votes for you.

Hey, he almost made it a month (well, February is a short month). But then, it was a leap year so February 29 was there.

I forgot it was so short.

The differences between what the next regime has promised vs the relatively halcyon days of Clinton and to a lesser extent even "The Great Destroyer" (Obama) are vast..these people want to:

All of this spending will not only cause inflation to SKYROCKET, it will make a good chunk of the hard earned $$ any of us have managed to save (for retirement or other purposes) worth much less - perhaps to the point it's not worth much more than Monopoly money. You simply can't pump trillions to tens of trillions of dollars into ANY economy and preserve the value of your currency.

NO President - not even the "Great Destroyer" Obama was THIS radical. We candidly won't even RECOGNIZE the country any of us grew up in unless someone like Manchin has the common, good sense to stop the insanity before the Marxists can implement any of it.

"Remember: there's hope, no matter how faint, that the first wave of persecution that we face will evince in those 'moderate' Democrats and independents out there some glimmer of sympathy."

Most of them won't, but there's something better. Listen here again!

Many of them will be unemployed between now and then. Many of them will have been cheated by their own in their relationships. That's when we should be sympathizing with them and teaching them. Those individuals can be ours! Timing, friends!

His time in office. I had thought Andropov was the winner. Not by a long shot.

I DO remember a comedian back then. Must have been after this guy.
