Yep—and it demonstrates the stranglehold they have over both parties of our bogusly two-party system.
And I agree they are just chomping at the bit to do that with everyone and to some degree their fellow travelers already do.
They are the brown shirts of our age. The shout-down squad. Those that obsess with finding and dehumanizing those that utter heresies against their growlingly ridiculous doctrines.
Indeed if they succeed nobody is safe from them, not even their own fellow revolutionaries. As Gandalf warned Saruman "and he does not share power". The coming Stalin will not share power either should the fools win.
In the meanwhile we must of necessity not exaggerate the danger lest we let more fools be brain washed by our silence. We have to risk the wrath of the brown shirts both social and career wise. So its not entirely a bad thing for one to take comfort in the fact that for the moment they may be just too small a potato. But you are right to warn them that they ought speak up before the small potatoes are thrown in the pot.
Re: 135 - Good post.
That really has no bearing on Wood. He faced disciplinary proceedings because of HIS behavior as an Officer of the Court. In multiple jurisdictions.
As I said, he had it coming. No tears for Wood at all.
Yes. This is bigger than a Presidential candidate with an outsized ego and an eccentric or crooked attorney we don’t think highly of.
Because if the forces we have come to collectively refer to as “The Deep State” can do this to Trump, Lin, or some schlubs who thought they could go into the Capitol Bulding because...the doors were held open for them by guards...then they can do it to anyone, no matter how important you are, like General Michael Flynn, or how un-important you are...
Like you...
Or me.
If you are specifically talking about me, then I think you need to step back and relax and understand, perhaps you don’t have all the answers and lecturing people on what they do or don’t know and it’s for their own good is the exact opposite of what’s needed to convince people of what’s happening in this country and to wake up people to the challenges.
Trump’s biggest weakness is the types of people who are allowed to hang around and who are basically nutjobs. They are sycophants who tell Trump what he wants to hear and stroke his enormous ego.
Lin Wood and Sydney Powell are two prime examples, other examples are Mike Lindell and Ronna McDaniel.
It’s become blatantly obvious to me over the last 3 years, that despite clear evidence of election malfeasance the court system is not going to address the issues, continuing to file and lose cases in the courts is a losing strategy, my point is, when something isn’t working change tactics and try something different.
The Democrats think long term, their corruption of the voting system is not something that happened overnight, it has taken them years of being patient, pushing for changes, using the legal system when necessary and ultimately winning elections and implementing new laws to cement their power.
Republicans might think past next week when elections roll around otherwise they are busy wasting millions of donor dollars.
Democrats use their billionaires to fund things like Zuck Bucks, Republicans use their billionaires to fund worthless TV advertising, basically running a 1980s style campaign in the year 2023, it’s like fighting with bolt action rifles when the other side has automatic machine guns.
Democrats have a very sophisticated get ballot harvesting and get out to vote program, the Republicans have nothing.
Democrats tell their voters to vote any way they can, mail in, early voting, day of election, call us we’ll send someone to pick up the vote for you, the Republicans tell their voters to vote on election day when the machines don’t work.
My point is, you are not the only person on FR that sees where this country is going, however, you need to get off your high horse and accept people where they are and not lecture them on what’s in their best interest, frankly that comes across as preaching which most independent minded people will reject.
Personally, I don’t care much about what is happening to Lin Wood apart from his willingness to be part of ANYONE (for whatever reasons they had, financial, fame, you name it) who spoke up to battle what I saw as a terrible thing, the stolen election.
And even that. Whether one thinks the election was stolen or not, all the shenanigans AROUND that are what really concern me.
“I see you exaggerate”
I’m not exaggerating at all. Multiple inner city precincts repeatedly (in sequential elections) reporting over 100% turnout is open fraud. Sending the other party’s election observers home at midnight, then taping paper in the windows of the supervisor’s office while only one party continues counting with no oversight is open fraud. Democrat counties in different states all halting their count at the same time, and then also “finding” just enough ballots to swing the election in the other direction, after the count was supposed to be stopped, is open fraud.
Whether or not the fraud can be proven to the satisfaction of a court or not does not change the fact that the fraud is being committed openly and brazenly right before our eyes now, and the ones doing it seem to have no fear at all of the consequences.
“Whenever Trump or a Trump endorsed candidate loses it’s not always the deep state or election fraud that does them in...”
Is it ever election fraud?
Or do you think the Democrats are far too moral and ethical to resort to that?
No. Had NOTHING to do with “you” other than your interest in the subject of this thread which you displayed by posting on it.
It has to do with people who think what happens to Trump, Wood, Flynn, you name it, is just fine and dandy, even enjoy it and relish it.
You want to make it all about Presidential candidates like Trump, DeSantis, or whatever, with the exception of the government/media/NGO activities to eliminate Trump. It is NOT about that. And it isn’t about how we approach elections, who is doing what to combat it (even keeping in mind that election fixing is part and parcel of tyranny) or even if those things CAN be overcome.
It is about the coordinated weaponization of all these things to achieve a goal that is driven by oligarchal groups of ideologues, not the rule of law within the framework of a Constitutional Republic.
You need to get off your own high horse and see the picture, not what you think someone did or did not say about you and your opinions.
I am reaching the end of my time on Earth. I’m not sick, just getting old (I am middle aged if I live to my 130s). So I tend not worry too much about what may happen to me, but I lie awake at night worrying about the nation that I will be leaving my children and grandchildren.
What precincts has a higher verified turnout than voters on the rolls? I seem to remember one in Wood County, OH several cycles ago that got people all hot and bothered that we finally found it that fizzled.
Your lecturing is sure to make people ignore you which I intend to do
He turned out to be bizarre
Lol, this college in Florida even bragged about it:
https://www.ucf.edu/news/ucf-voting-precinct-tops-100-turnout/
Another one in Florida:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-precinct-voter-turnout
There were more in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as well, if I remember correctly. Philly has gotten close to 100% or over 100% turnout several times when they needed to flip Pennsylvania.
I’ll second that. An excellent cautionary reminder.
They say that technological change often happens gradually, then suddenly. Same with tyranny—assisted by weaponized technology, in addition to weaponized lawfare.
Loved your post. Most excellent analysis.
Not so much a high horse, but dealing honestly with the evils we are facing.
Yes. And went to prison.
It was a well put together post if you were in a political science class, you don’t influence people by telling them, it’s in their best interest or they need to get educated on a matter it comes across as lecturing which most independent people will reject, I would say the vast majority of people on FR are well informed and intelligent people who don’t need lecturing, what they need is solutions.
Personally I’m about winning and one side is dead serious about winning and my side is not and I get frustrated and angry about that, Trump isn’t the long term solution and his scorched earth attitude for Republicans is bad in the long term
His MAGA Agenda is a real key going forward but the agenda will be gone after Trump departs the scene
