County HOP only want old family names to be involved. I tried hard to get involved in my area GOP. They didn’t like what I had to say. They didn’t want to put me on the volunteer list because no one knew me or my family

This is how places turn into California

ABC...



Problem is these refugees will be closing for the dems based on social issues. They have a entitled sense of economics too, thinking "stuff" just happens automatically and that locals are ignorant.

Cities attract liberals. And suburbs have even worse liberals -- because these are people who never acquired the kind of mental toughness that you often find in people who grew up in urban environments. Some of the dumbest and least exposed people I've ever met are affluent suburbanites who don't have a clue about anything outside their own areas of expertise.

AOC is a perfect example of this. She isn't an ignorant jackass because she was born in the Bronx. She's an ignorant jackass because her family moved to an affluent suburb when she was five years old. She probably never saw another person more swarthy than her until she got to Boston University.

Urbanization has been a far more destructive influence on our political landscape than any other -- including race and demographics.

Wow... Sad story. Even sadder: That scenario has replicated all over the US in the past 20-30 years.

You likely opened your mouth too soon. You really have to sit back and learn the layout of who is who and what weight they think they carry.

I lived in a community where certain individuals basically controlled the town. Short story three of us defeated that control....and it shook those that were in charge...they never saw it coming.

No flame intended but happy words aren't enough, in fact they cloak the problem.

Sorry John but this a happy words only forum, because we still believe Barr has thousands of indictments ready to go...........</s>

Why should I reward the GOP for the splendid job they’ve made of surrendering to the Left?

Baloney. I raised my kids in an affluent suburb-—it has minorities and even a well attended black church. Not all suburbs are alike.

You have the audacity to get on here and tell ME that MY observations from MY experience are "baloney."

LOL.

It works both ways.

It's hard to believe that Indiana actually voted for Obama in 2008.

By 2020 it has become one of the "reddest" states in the U.S. And this has been driven mainly by the migration of businesses and productive citizens out of neighboring Illinois.

‘wokeness’ is being taught in the schools by the relatively small number of teachers who belong to the teachers union

push out the teacher’s union and rescue your kids

There is an inherent bias in representative government towards collectivism. Conservative don’t seek power, they want to live their lives without interference and don’t want control over the lives of others. They don’t seek the power of office.

Collectivists, on the other hand, seek the power of government because they do want that power. They are arrogant enough to believe that they have all the answers and that they can run your life better than you can.

Over 13 years ago I told someone I knew that they were putting liens on the properties in the neighborhoods through their HOA. Then with these properties they were giving them to Section 8. That person did not believe that is what was going on at the time. 13 years later, he is a believer and wants out of his community. It was almost a pure conservative area which is now become rundown with graffiti, trash on the streets and in the yards etc. House prices in the area have dropped significantly. The sad thing was that after I told him he put an addition to his home to increase the square footage. He will be lucky to even see market price for his home. Yes, they are putting not just the left in your towns but they are using the HOAs to put low info low income voters into your neighborhoods. I hate, and hate is too weak of a word for how I feel, I hate HOAs. And before people think that this is an illegal practice, you need to do your research in your state. This was a total legal practice for where they lived. The HOA puts a lien on the home and if the fine doesn’t get paid the HOA can sell the home out from under the owners. It is a very common practice as Lien Sales (not to be confused with Tax Sales) happen almost everyday in the USA.

A lot of Biden signs were up this past year in Marion County (Indianapolis Metro area). You could drive down Meridian Street (Multi million dollar homes leading into downtown and old too) without seeing a single Trump sign as there were plenty of BLM and Biden signs in front of the houses. Marion county voted for Biden btw. At one point I was out driving Uber to get people’s reactions (it’s interesting what people will tell a complete stranger in a car) and came to one community center which was a polling center and they had three buses deep lined up unloading passengers, another entering and one leaving the parking lot. These were not elderly grandma and grandpa from the nursing home people. These people ranged from toddlers on up but most I would say averaged in their 20s and 30s. And of course you could not miss the BLM sign out front as it was as large as a bus.

Happened to me. Nice conservative little lumber town in Oregon. Infiltrated and hopelessly liberal. Moved to Idaho. Gone. The infestation is complete. It all starts with wealthy retirees who have the time and resources to join activist groups and run for city council. Then bike lanes and roudabouts. Horrible horrible people.

It’s hard to get excited about ‘22 and ‘24 when the same people, with the same processes, with the same machines and the same people counting the vote.

I predict that by ‘26 there will be less than 50 republicans in the house and less than 20 republican senators. The vote fraud will be that bad.
