I have a lot of respect for Star Parker, but we hear this from way too many commentariats after every election that ends in heartbreak. “We’re still a center-right nation!” et al.

Sorry, but I’m not optimistic at all. The media, big tech, Hollywood, big donors, Wall Street, the entire pop culture, and I guess even the voting equipment is against us. How do you compete in a third world environment?

I’d share Star’s optimism if elections were still a fair fight in America

Ditto. We will soon find out if the SCOTUS still cares about the Laws.

“ American democracy prevailed.”

Can I get some of what she is smoking? Does she really think there will be another free election? The commies are doing exactly what they did to the people of Venezuela.

Your optimism is misplaced. I’m resigned to the fact Trump surprised the “machine” and it was determined to devour him. I no longer believe ANY election since probably Clinton was legit without software interference. Just look at the back stabbing Bush family, and Romney, and McCain...and countless more who proved they were NOT GOP SUPPORTERS. They are part of the “machine” and I’ve no doubt were “allowed” to be voted in. America is doomed. I will be burying my American flag with ceremony soon.

“Biden underperformed Hillary Clinton in every major metro area around the country, save for Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia ... in these big cities in swing states run by Democrats…the vote even exceeded the number of registered voters.”

All elected Republicans are Surrender Monkeys.

I am not in the least bit optimistic. We are not going to vote out people who just successfully executed a coup.

She is obviously an optimist and you are a pessimist who tries to make the lives of others miserable, unlike an optimist.

If the dims steal the 2 senate runoffs in Jan, Star might need to revise this view.

. . .uh. . .okaaaay. ..but if Dems are allowed to so blatantly steal what was a landslide for our side. . .well. . I guess "we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

I’ve noticed that a lot of professional conservatives are doing this type of commentary lately. It doesn’t ring true and the rank and file aren’t buying it.

I read on FR that Tucker opened a recent show auditioning for the Travel Channel and discussing America’s beauty. I’ve seen articles fantasizing about how the GOP is poised to retake the House in 2022. And of course, the Georgia runoffs are in the bag according to the professional conservatives.

If they let the dems succeed with their shenanigans in the 2020 election, things will be lost for a good half-century. But hey, visit the Grand Canyon!
