On November 4th, the day before the 2020 Election, Bill Whittle discusses what he sees as a seismic shift in the American Electorate.
LINK: The Outside, Inside (Bill Whittle)
In summary, he thinks we are crossing the threshold where we no longer view things from a Democrat<=>Republican prism, or even a Conservative<=>Liberal/Leftist perspective.
Above he broke down the last 80 years of Presidents and classified them as either insiders or outsiders (I generally agree with his classifications).
He shows that if he cuts the last 80 years in two after the second Reagan Term (the vertical red arrow above), since then, it has been ALL insiders, with one exception: Donald Trump.
He maintains that we are entering a phase where we vote based on someone being an Insider or an Outsider.
Interesting to hear what other Freepers think about this.
I think he has categorized them accurately, but whether it is the start of a trend, we will see. Outsiders have a tendency, once in Washington, to become insiders.
town vs. country
Lessons from Harris’ rejection election:
<><>Harris got about 10 million fewer votes than 2020 Biden got
<><>the Democratic Party was resoundingly and historically rejected
<><>so repulsed were they, that many stayed home and did not vote
<><>trounced by Trump, Dems are now seen as weak and ineffectual
<><>Americans conclude Dems don’t care about the working-class.
This is true.
I admit I am looking at this from a trend perspective, and the way pendulums swing, this might be a blip, or it might be the beginning of a extended period in the wilderness for Democrats in the way 1932 was the start of a long journey in the wilderness for Republicans.
I thought it was a very upbeat message.
I think there is some validity to that as well.
The only part I might have an issue with is the assertion they were so repulsed they stayed home and didn’t vote.
There were something 25 million fewer ballots counted overall in 2024 when compared to 2020.
I don’t buy that they “stayed home”. They knew what was at stake here in this election as well as we did, no matter how bad their candidate was.
I think this is more an indication that due to the early voting by Republicans and many eyes on the process, the Leftists were unable to cheat as they did in 2020.
It’s not Democrat versus Republican.
It’s not Liberal versus Conservative.
It’s not Insider versus Outsider.
It’s Organized Crime Syndicate versus Regular People.
Every Democrat thinks that he/she is getting away with something shady.
They need the cover of a big organization like the Democrat party to protect them.
Just in case, where can I place a bet on who Trump fires first?
Marking.
Don’t forget the absence of $500M from Zuckerberg. And, quite possibly, the kind of intel needed to pull off the 2020 scam again. They need a current list of voters who are registered but very unlikely to vote. Plus, a ton of money to stuff the ballots.
I think FB and Google were afraid to do it again. They know, we know…Trump knows how they did it. There would be hell to pay if Trump managed to win anyway. They couldn’t be certain of success this time.
LOL, I read your post and thought “Well, yeah. Given that the “Insiders” absolutely are operating like an Organized Crime Syndicate (Joe Biden Admin is a case in point) that IS true...”
“town vs country”: I agree.
I would add this, and it’s only being exposed recently:
fantasy vs reality
corollary:
insanity vs sanity
Those dichotomies seem extreme; but they’re real. They explain the lack of meaningful dialogue. Fantasy can’t converse with reality, nor can insanity with sanity.
After covid, & sundry other breeches of fair play under the law, I think people are getting concerned about the power of government & want it reined in. As George Washington said, government is like fire. It is dangerous if not controlled. Time to strip it back to a more limited form. I just hope those elected to the senate & house understand how important this will be.
Diehard Democrats voted, of course.
I should have made it clearer..... undecideds stayed home rather than vote.
Sounds like Hollywood, always was fantasy, now increasingly untethered
I did not realize how stupidly easy it is to get ballots for your locale. Check this segment out from Dinesh D'Souza's excellent movie (you should watch the entire thing-he put it online for free) where he discusses how to get your hands on ballots.
Sure...they have the thing where you get them from places they were mailed to where they aren't picked up and used. But there are even more terrible ways to break the law:
This...and if you have the passwords to get into the voting systems (like Colorado...LINK: Colorado accidentally put voting system passwords online, but officials say election is secure
So. They tell us the voting MACHINES cannot be accessed on the network. I don't believe that no matter what they say. But the voting SYSTEM can almost certainly be accessed on a network, and...if you have the passwords, you can see...who has voted, and...who has not.
You may not have any idea WHO that person voted for, but...you can see they voted, right?
Now. If you have information on who has not voted, and you also have information on who voted in the last four elections, you can take the names of people who are registered but not voting (Think: Motor Voter Registrants) and if someone has not voted in the last four elections...think they are gonna vote in this one?
Also, if the polls close in two hours, and you can see the names of those who have not yet voted, and if you filter your list further with the age of 70 years old or more...those people are PROBABLY retired, they PROBABLY would have voted earlier in the day, so if they are over 70, and haven't voted by 6 PM...they probably aren't going to vote. So you can make ballots from their names at the last minute. And yes...the voter rolls DO contain your date of Birth.
Remember: They cannot just randomly introduce ballots into a system. What happens if you have 5,000 voters in your rolls, and 7,000 ballots are cast? You get easily caught. So they have to know who has voted, they have to know how many are left to vote and they can take their ballots they purchased, farm them out to groups of volunteers to fill out and sign (the signature makes no difference-since almost nobody does signature matching even when required by law to do so, and even if they do it is lazy and cursory)
The big problem is getting them into the system. Stuffing the ballot boxes is one way. Introducing them by bringing them into an un-secure area in rolling suitcases or bins where they can be "found" and counted its another way.
The whole system is corrupt and filled with holes.
Oh, I agree. Every person I have talked to who identifies as a conservative understands this innately.
