I wish I shared that optimism.
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
“ 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.
Uh oh, watch out for CatOwner and other purveyors of cheerful, uplifting observations of the world, lol.
I am not. No God no Country.
the past vote peaceful?...sure, but just before the vote we had major riots....cops did nothing...
no, I am not optimistic....
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.
cast me in with the cynics.
I am not in the least bit optimistic. We are not going to vote out people who just successfully executed a coup.
Star, you’re an idiot.
What a bunch of bullshit...the democrats are not democratic in the least...they will kill America as soon as possible and we are talking within a couple months of taking power.
If the dims steal the 2 senate runoffs in Jan, Star might need to revise this view.
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!
Once you have institutionalized fraudulent elections you don’t have the rule of law any more. Then it doesn’t matter how decent and hardworking most of the people are. That’s why fighting to the finish to obtain a fair result in this election is crucial.
Hong Kong is probably the best example. On the surface, not much has changed - but the national conversation has been forcibly altered...and rather drastically.
Yes yes. Back to writing pap to quiet the recalcitrant slaves. Typical “conservative”.
Take a look at Venezuela. Dictatorships stamp out and smother people gasping for breaths of freedom.

We aren’t Venezuela yet, but that’s the way we are headed.
Rigged elections can’t be won.
You're proud of the 80 million voters who got cheated and now we're expected to suck it up, but carry on with our heads held high?
