It is a sure sign that the corruption in American government has reached critical mass. How sad, that freedom has died in America not by an invasion, but by treason.
I don’t think patriots will give up without a fight.
I don’t think their fight will be gentle or mild.
The GOP is done. If it didn’t get a spine this time, it never will. Trump needs to start a new party. There is no other answer.
So if Biden wins, then we have President Kamala Harris, who is also a joke. So she appoints Adam Sciff or Bill DeBlasio as vice-president. Then, for personal reasons, resigns (and if she is offered enough money and/or her life is threatened, she will). Then we have President Sciff, or President DeBlasio or even President Hunter Biden, and they’ll do it. They will. This is why we need a new party. We are up against some very hard facts here.
“It is a sure sign that the corruption in American government has reached critical mass. How sad, that freedom has died in America not by an invasion, but by treason.”
It is the corruption of the people. The tentacles of the Federal government have intruded economically into the lives of most individuals. Seniors depend on Social Security and Medicare. The youth depend on government student loans and desire loan forgiveness and will vote for politicians who say they will give it. One of the legacies of the 1960’s is multiple generations of people who are dependent on the welfare system (subsidized housing, SNAP food benefits, free cell phones, free medical care - Medicaid) which is given to immigrants pouring into the country. Businesses lobby government for tax breaks and incentives (corporate welfare) and over the past 15 years Wall Street investment firms have been completely backstopped by the Federal Reserve and Treasury). Public employees number in the tens of millions and they consistently vote as a block for more benefits.
We have reached the tipping point where over 50% of the electorate receives financial benefits from the government and they vote in block for the one party (Democrats) that represent their interests. Going forward, we will see big government increasingly take from the producer class to feed the increasing desires of the dependent class. If the producers revolt, they will be crushed. History shows the producers will leave (as our forefathers left Europe) or will simply stop producing. As output decreases, the pie will shrink and become too small to provide the promised benefits. Those controlling the government will then become totalitarians and crush the dependents as well. We’ve seen this story play out through history - Rome, Soviet Union, Mao’s China, Castro’s Cuba, Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, and more recently Venezuela.
Demographics is destiny. Whether Trump pulls it out this time or not, the future is clear. The national popular vote is already Democrat majority, only the Electoral College provides resistance to the dependency vote in national elections but that wall will be overwhelmed in this cycle or the next. Democrats are fleeing the northeast for southern states. They will vote for benefits and completely swing Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina by 2024 or 2026. Californians have already shifted Oregon, Colorado and Washington into leftist welfare states. Arizona and Nevada are falling. Idaho, Texas and Montana are now experiencing the mass immigration of Californians escaping the mess they created. Illegal immigrants will receive amnesty during the next Democrat administration, and will join the Democrat bloc vote.
I live outside a mid-sized North Carolina city. Over the past 30 years I’ve seen its middle class manufacturing jobs outsourced to China and replaced primarily by lower paid service jobs. At the same time I’ve seen the city use tax incentives to attract industry and “jobs”. There is never an accounting to see if the jobs were “created” but over 20 years I’ve seen those new companies lay off employees and even move out of the area chasing tax abatement in other communities. Meanwhile the city government has been taken over by Democrats who continue to grow the size of the government bureaucracy and number of social programs. This cycle is occurring throughout the once conservative southeast. Once a population becomes conditioned to government largess, the people will not vote against their “beneficiaries”. Recently we had a situation where voters rejected a referendum for a “temporary” sales tax increase to fund a new courthouse (not needed). The county commissioners promptly increased the property tax rate to fund the court house. The next off cycle election they put the sales tax increase back on the ballot, used the social justice warriors to turn out the dependency vote, and were successful in achieving their goal. Rinse and repeat - the tipping point has been reached and will continue. Yes the county went for Biden this year but Trump squeaked through in my precinct. New housing developments in this section of the county will be filled with millennial and generation Z youth so by 2022 I anticipate my precinct will vote for the Democrat who will almost certainly replace retiring Republican Senator Burr.
I don’t see this changing. Once people are sucking on the government teat they don’t voluntarily leave.
