Now We’ve Got Them Right Where We Want Them
American Thinker ^ | January 21, 2021 | John Green

Posted on 01/21/2021 7:28:16 AM PST by skimbell

Like many Americans, I’ve been in a funk since last November.  Now it’s time to shake it off and re-engage.  George Washington presided over a series of lost battles and tactical retreats during the American revolution.  But each battle (regardless of outcome) weakened the enemy, and led to eventual freedom from monarchical rule.  The ruling class has taken an election, but they’ve substantially weakened their position in doing so.

It’s ok if delusion helps you get through this. But to say that they are weakened by taking control? This is not the GOP we’re talking about.

I have a sneaking suspicion the military is going to take care of this problem.

People on the right will stop voting because their vote, it seems, doesn’t matter

We gotta be smart-use our heads. Get rid of Liz but no new party. Sarahs’ gotta step up against Murkowski.

Actually he is right. Simply because the Dems will dig their own grave.

They win power over government but have no ability to use it correctly.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best/

It will not end well.

War with China or Iran or both is a distinct possibility.

Natural rights are that which you can simply do.
Government may punish you. Bill of Rights says they can’t.
Notwithstanding, you can choose freedom.

Do not let Progressives live rent-free in your head.
Simply live. Be free.

Sorry but any “glass half full” sentiments are not going to cut it. The Media-democrat-deepstate-socialmedia cabal are playing for keeps.
Unfortunately we are no match...

We’ve already got ONE party. Set up a second party. Only Trump can do this. We’ve never been in this position in my long life time.

Well, forever is a long time. But I don’t think we’re going to vote our way out of this mess.

For Republicans to remain a viable force there needs to be a very public PURGE of the Party.

Starting with Bushies and McConnel

“We gotta be smart-use our heads. Get rid of Liz but no new party. Sarahs’ gotta step up against Murkowski.”

We will have no more luck with the GOP than Trump did. That is to say, every time you think you found someone who is an ally, someone solid, they stab you... Dan Crenshaw.

It all sounds good, but ignores the two trump cards they have:
1. Suppressing the conservative voice on the internet
2. Widespread cheating in elections, which they got away with in broad daylight.

We are at the fourth box stage now. I’m old and consider it a defensive thing, but young conservatives have some soul searching to do.

Hopium. I give the author credit for doing his best to rally the troops and we all could certainly use a pep rally at this point but never discount George Soros and his band of miserable anarchists. They’re already working to overtake local governments.

Indeed, it is delusional. The Left now has the White House and both houses of Congress. The are in a very powerful -not weak - position. So they can do anything they please. And the media will cover for them all the way.

Meanwhile, the Right is divided. And those Dominion voting machines will still be around in 2022 and 2024.

Is there any hope going forward? Yes. We need another Ronald Reagan.
