I’m not buying what he is selling. Oh, he dressed it up real pretty, as Hollywood always does, but he can’t disguise the smell. It reeks of “what we need is government to solve the problem”. But Government is what caused the problem in the first place. Saying that we can fix it all on the state level of government is laughable to say the least. Keep in mind that Georgia has always been considered a for sure “red” state. Georgia had a Republican “red” governor and Secretary of State, they thought. Look how that turned out.

The left has focused on corrupting this process-which originates in the deep urban centers. The process is very active presently in Georgia, using Atlanta as its base, the last 2 election cycles. This process is seditious.

What allows the urban welfare enclaves to exist, is tax revenue from the suburbs to subsidize the lack of tax base. First priority should be to eliminate revenue sharing.

"Our political system has been Highjacked"

Of course. Everybody knows it. The honest acknowledge it. The corrupt don't care.

This is what happened:

Corrupt and corruptible people in positions of power decided that the USA was sinking inexorably into decadence, along with the rest of Western Civilisation, and was doomed and that they might as well profit from it for themselves.

The American People were too overwhelmed by the decadence to stop it or to prevent the powerful and corrupt from profiteering.

Donald Trump, a man of towering intellect and fundamental benevolence, who profoundly loved America, realised long ago what was going on. That's why he decided to run for President back in 2016. He believed that his enormous resources would enable him to reverse the decadence and purify America from corruption. In 2016, he said: "The party's over. I'm going to clean up Washington."

A Manichaean struggle followed. The forces of decadence, corruption, and profiteering fought all attempts to restore America to ascendency, which was Trump's objective and that of his supporters, with the fury of those whose dreams of worldly glory are threatened and with every resource they could devise--honor, scruples, benevolence, the USA, and truth be damned!

Truth was jettisoned, the USA abandoned, the American Dream betrayed.

Trump lost.

The American People lost.

The world lost.

Note tagline.

Yes, it is a two party country. And McCain-Feingold made the parties more powerful. Limits for candidates, no limits for parties.

Repeal McCain-Feingold. Full disclosure on all donations, down to the penny. In a downloadable format so anyone can analyze the data.

Douglas was a big Bloomberg supporter, and said that his late father Kirk’s last words were “Mike can get it done”.

Hours after violent insurrectionists stormed our nation’s Capitol on January 6, 147 Members of Congress returned to the floor and voted to overturn a democratic election — citing the same baseless claims of election fraud that incited the riot.

but how can we convince liberals..

They're not "liberals" and you can't convince them.

What is it going to take for people like you to get that through your heads?

There is nothing stopping a liberal from setting up charities and private organizations that work for their purposes, without destroying the Constitution.

Yeah sure - China, the abortionists, the socialists and all of our bribed pols (those you're calling "liberal") will start setting up their "charities" just as soon as they are convinced of it.

You serious are operating without a single clue.

I’m well aware that you convince them, thank you.

Liberals are the kind of people who can know big government murdered 250 million people in the 20th century and the only thing they learn from that is that it wasn’t done right.

I don’t think this is a good idea.

It’s a slick way of repeating what we all know to be the situation, to suck people in.

The key tip-off is everyone voting from home.

Leftists want everyone to vote because they register everyone in sight.

The problem for them is getting those people to follow through and vote.

Anything that makes that easier is self serving for THEM.

Our goal should be to make it possible to vote, not easy to vote.

Why? People who exert effort to vote, will be more likely to study up and vote for the right people and issues.

If you can do it in a few seconds at home, that’s about how much time you’ll spend on studying up.

This effort has several goals.

They also want a grass roots effort they can game for the Leftist cause.

Michael Douglas was talking about Trump at the time this was posted. Although he was Michael was wise enough not to say his name.

As for fair elections that is out of the window. The machines are rigged. If people some how beat the machines, then the courts and legislatures will fail us.

If you really think we can win a rigged election, then you failed to understand what just happened in election 2020.

You are like trying to win a rigged poker game. No matter what you are going to lose.

Our government has failed we the people in the laws, in courts in the legislators and now the ballot box.
