Why didn’t they just accept the results of the election?

It’s time to form a second, shadow government. Free elections will never be possible as long as we operate under the present regime.
Put the new capitol in Wichita.

Read it before, but it is well worth it and should be taught in elementary schools. I suggest EVERYONE Read it if you haven’t before.

America’s enemies showed us part of what we need to do: resist in every way and for every moment of the next four years. No compromise, no forgiveness, and no cooperation with Biden/Harris/Pelosi/Schumer.

A very familiar story...from an era gone by.
Relax. Have a drink. Turn off the TV.

I just read an excellent new book about it called “The Fighting Bunch”, and I highly recommend it. Nobody would talk much about it for years and years afterwards. The FBI tried to coax information from the locals, but came up empty. People were sick of the dirty politics, but it took the returning vets to finally set things right. The similarities with what is going on today is amazing, but that was one county....not entire states. Still, it took a lot of guts and determination to break the machine.

I am more than willing to accept the results of a legitimate election. But if it is to be that all future elections will be decided by mysterious votes delivered in the dead of night in an unobserved fashion, and that observers are not allowed to verify the legitimacy of the votes...
Then you and I are destined to become merely the worker drones for the ruling elite. Yeah, accept and acquiesce....

And I believe the NYT sharply criticized the returning GI’s for doing it.
