And when you have a population, half of which has been brainwashed by the media, it is even easier to feed them lies which confirm what their indoctrination has led them to believe.

Precisely so! Which is why I think we’re doomed! The media and the corrupted education systems, IMHO are unbeatable. And I’m usually thought of as an OPTIMIST!

Just wondering when the ‘Miss Me Yet’ paraphernalia will arrive at the scene with Trumps picture.

The actions tell you that they know they cheated, and they are scarred that they can’t do it again, so Donald Trump must be dis-allowed from running again because they won’t be able to stop him.

Not only that, but now Trump knows and we know
and payback is a b*tch.

The Leftist DemocRAT/Media complex dismisses any accusation of a stolen election as being “without evidence” while they actively suppress the substantial evidence that is already available.
....................................................
Well and truly said, but let’s not forget the RINOs and the so-called “conservatives” over at the SCOTUS! Oh, and also the vast majority of the professoriate in our academic community!

I'm also an optimist by nature but lately vacillate between cautious, at times, fleeting, optimism and profound pessimism.

That said, I think there are reasons to be optimistic, though I think we have a real war ahead of us. It is important to keep in mind that reality itself works against--erodes--brainwashing.

Realism is a much sturdier mindset than one based on a system of indoctrination of untruths.

There...I feel better just for having acknowledged that.;-)

Dominion voting machines got Slow Joe into office.

Actually it would be more accurate to say that the DVMs were the tools used by the corrupted Deep State, which of course includes the Democratic Party the RINO cabal, the Federal alphabet agencies, the media, and the Professoriate of our academic community! And probably others I’ve overlooked!

When somebody buys a Powerball Lottery Ticket they have a one in 292,000,000 chance of winning. If they buy two Lottery Tickets, they have a two in 292,000,000 chance of winning.

The actual odds are each Ticket has a 292,000,000 chance of winning, no matter how many you buy.

Some People think that if you by two Tickets, you have a one in 146,000,000 chance of winning. Using that Logic, you buy three Tickets and those odds become a one in 73,000,000 chance of winning. It goes on from there.

It just doesn’t work out that way in reality, much like Joementia winning the November Election.

However, logic, grammar and rhetoric are racist constructions of white privilege (sarcasm)

The article fails to take on the critical issues directly.

The mangling of language and wholesale advancement of political religion has indeed facilitated Joseph Stolen’s rise to power.

Yes, so true, and I feel better having read it. Thanks!

Just seeing this article now (I searched "grammar"). This is a good observation by the author:
The audience has no clear understanding of conjunctions, prepositions, articles, or subordinate clauses. One can transform any phrase rhetorically into the opposite of what it means grammatically.
Case in point: the Second Amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The sentence directly and unambiguously states that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The reason for it, despite the antiquated use of a comma before the verb, is that the verb "shall not be infringed" can only be combined with the subject "the right", thus forming the dominant clause, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

As such, the introductory, subordinate clause, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," is non-essential, and merely adds to the main clause but does not define it. Yet leftists who insist that the sentence means what it does not are ignoring the clear grammar.

Btw, that comma before the verb is common of the time. Read the Constitution or the Federalist Papers and you will see that use of commas all over the place. Commas were relatively new punctuation, and at the time it was used not just to separate clauses and phrases, but also as a pause for emphasis.
