The only "postive" if you can call it that, is we found out the majority of Republicans are cheating, low life, on the take, globalist, scum, just like the democrats.

I laugh when people here say the way to victory is to primary all the deep state scum from the GOPe. The GOPe would be more than happy to work with the dems and their election fraud apparatus to ensure that could never happen.

We have no future in the GOPe.

Biden will make 20 million DACAs new citizens. He already said it. Voting is useless now.

We had a chance to fix it back in the Clinton administration, but we preferred our distractions.

Now we are going to get it good and hard.

Obviously, H. Ross Perot came quite a ways with his Reform party, and the rise of populism. He did poll enough votes to deny George H.W. Bush the Presidency in 1992, though he carried nary a single state. Every vote that Perot got, was subtracted directly from the Republican total, but the Republicans of the time could just not reconcile themselves with the populist/libertarian point of view.

But to build a party out of almost whole cloth, and get it on the ballot in enough states to be within striking distance of victory, is an enterprise of gargantuan size, equaling or perhaps exceeding the cost of a campaign structure itself.

At this point, the only option is to, what I call, Go Gault+. Don’t just stop producing, start taking welfare, and pay no taxes. If you are a small businesses owner, shut it down. Work for cash only.

Don’t openly talk about politics. Be socially invisible to stay safe. Help the demonrats bring about their Hell on Earth. The only way this ends is when our shitbag, public school educated kids learn that everything they think they know is wrong and kill their teachers and professors. We cannot help with that, their minds have been too throughly washed. Hey have to figure t out themselves, if they even can.

I am not advocating this. It is just what I see.

Knock yourself out. Just like I’m not participating in the pandemic crap, I’m not participating in a sham version of America.

I got to enjoy her for most of my life, kept up my end of the bargain as an active citizen. Now, in my early 60’s and semi retirement, I’m living the rest of my life uninvolved.

Your milage May vary. Peace.

“””Trump could fill it and reinvent the source of his billions if he does.”””


Trump’s principal business is in the travel and leisure sector of the economy. His businesses, like all the others in this sector, have been financially clobbered in the past 11 months.

No, I suspect Donald Trump and his children are going to be very busy in the next four years restoring their business empire and they will have little time to fix the political system that his, now well trained, followers need to fix by themselves.

Those voting machines are kept in some warehouse somewhere. When they’re set up for voting, they’re plugged into 120 volts. Making it 240 would fry them. What would a taser do to them by holding against any exposed metal. Are you feeling clumsy today? try not to knock any machines over. Long distance internet still runs through wires. Electronics don’t like liquid. 100 people with baseball bats?

The left burned buildings and smashed things for months. An antifa outfit is not hard to copy. Black pants, jacket and mask.

What is excellent about this is that you recognize the need to capture a large tranche of voters who are Democrats.

There is no fighting against the uniparty.
You have to kill them.
That is why they will make a mission of killing us.
This whole thread is just a bunch of dissidents to be rounded up.

“””People from those 6 or so States need to get on their repub legislature’s asses and correct the usurptation that they allowed by letting judges, BOEs, Sec of States to change election rules.”””


Yes, I agree the Conservative Republicans in the 6 contested states need to get off their backsides.

But, there are more than 20 other Republican controlled states where the voters need cleanup their lax election systems.

Has any FReeper sent a message to their state Rep or Senator demanding they fix some laxity in the election system in their state?

If so, please respond to me.

primary the spineless republicans and correct the voting procedures in the battleground states and in as many states as have republican majorities in the house and senate.

After this last election what’s the sense in having elections anymore? Some computer will decide the winner.

No, we’re not going to see fair elections again. That doesn’t mean we can’t rebel against Uniparty oppression. The GOP stooges will blather on about how they are conservative and will save us in ‘22, just send us your money. Bull$hit! Never again, the GOP only provides overseers for the fascist plantation or ghetto planned for us. You’re a child of the 60s, you saw innovative ways to at least maintain a voice during times of personal repression. How about a $15, two person deployable Improvised Truth Device. Deployed under a sidewalk grate, in a trash can, super glued to chair, etc. waiting for the second person to activate the Bluetooth feed.

COMISO Bluetooth Speakers, IPX7 Waterproof Wireless Portable Speaker Loud Crystal Clear Stereo Sound, Rich Bass, 20 Hour Playtime, Dual-Driver Built-in Mic for Party, Travel, Outdoor, Backyard (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GZH7M9D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_ygfbGbM03F3W8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

This https://youtu.be/lsO_SlA7E8k , along with comments about GOP treachery on a repeating loop until they find and deactivate it. Say at a Lincoln Day dinner.

Don’t give up, for goodness sake don’t vote Republican again.

Drain the swamp’s bank accounts by not voting repub?

Biggest thing that would worry me is the dems signing treaties which can’t be undone. UN control anyone? We’d be uner global governance by the time they were done.

“””correct the voting procedures in the battleground states and in as many states as have republican majorities in the house and senate.”””


We are on the same page. We have 20 or more states where the Republicans are in control and those states have lax voting rules that need to be changed.

Rather than complaining on FR we all need to write to our state rep and senator to fix the voting rules in our own state-—especially in those states where the GOP is in control.

We don’t need a new party!?! Are you insane? We’ve been voting Republican lesser of two evils forever. The result? We live in a one party police state. Remember how amazed you were about blacks rejecting Blexit and voting for the people responsible for their fate? I ask you, What the Hell Do You Have Left to Lose by voting third party?

Hamilton wanted to ban politic parties, period. He felt people in them would put party over country.

He was right.

I’d like to see an ammendment banning political parties.
