I honestly don’t think Republicans will win when they steal elections like they did when I was in Seattle from Rossi in the Gubernatorial election and the SAME PEOPLE in Minnesota stealing the election for Franken.
It’s not ballot boxes anymore-—it’s cartridge boxes. I’ve debated with anarcho-capitalists, social conservatives, monarchists, libertarians, fiscal conservatives, Scoop Jackson Democrats, Burkeans, etc-—there’s just not this diversity on the other side and if we have to debate each other later, so be it. But there is no chance for an honest resolution of this conflict in the booths.
Everything about politics is about media manipulation, public relations, manufactured ‘events,’ manufactured stories, press assassination of high profile enemies and K-12 and colleges and entertainment stuffed to the gills with enemies of liberty who believe in rule by an elite who believes they are entitled not only to rule but desire a malleable and submissive citizenry on which to experiment with their philosophical delusions that Bastiat already demolished a century plus ago.
The GOP isn’t that much better anymore but it’s the only home in the two parties for anyone who’s decent who is anti-statist. But the game is over. Democrats may lose in 2010, 2012 but does anyone think the GOP will win filibuster-proof majority in the Senate ANd the Presidency AND get a President who won’t mouth that nonsense about “compassion” instead of FREEDOM?!
No, the game is over. We have 2-3 urban areas dominating entire huge states that are red and a few dozen urban areas dominating the entire countries fate. It’s European Union Redux. And though they’re starting to lean back towards the right there, we know their ‘right’ is totally different from our Madisonian-Burkean-Smith right and they’re eschewing classical liberals for quasi-fascists-—because legitimate debate was destroyed there as they intend to destroy it here.
We’re done for...at least electorally. A military countercoup with a Restoration Stewardship period is the best we can hope for..but good luck with that.
Sadly, I agree with every single word you say.
I have stated it on other places on the internet, Republicans are dead for a generation or 2
With that, anti-statists as well
