There’s another way that we failed. NPR (leftist National Public Radio) was recruiting young leftists for jobs as poll workers months before the election and probably earlier. We should have been doing the same.
We need to get young, conservative people into jobs as poll workers in those few bad neighborhoods where the most fraud was committed. They also need to be trained to see and collect evidence of fraud. And they need to be trained to be like chameleons; indistinguishable from social lefties (actors emulating sexual confusion, counterculture, etc.).
Thank you for your considerate and constructive discourse, not just right now, but in all the time we have talked on this forum for years.
Regarding how we have failed at being citizen-stewards for our Republic-yes, you are correct. We have made a huge number of mistakes in this respect.
Conservatives have a weakness-we assume that logic and truth will prevail, and showing the logic and truth of something to anyone (especially young people) will easily win them over.
And we have consistently underestimated the evil of the Left, who not only have no problem putting evil people in positions of power where they can indoctrinate young children, they STRIVE to do so.
We have surrendered education to them, and they grasped it with both hands to abuse it at the expense of this great nation.
We have surrendered the media to them, and they seized it with malignant hostile intent to undermine and bring down this Republic.
We have given them free reign with culture, books, movies, sports, celebrities, and they have used it as a cudgel against our country and us, and in this case, are winding up to silence us, pursue us, punish us, slander us, and delegitimize us.
They gleefully and with great understanding and relish use our inherent goodness and disinclination to abuse institutions or disobey laws as weapons against us, knowing that when we have power, we will not wield it against them maliciously as unashamedly do when they weild power. They view this as folly on our part, as our loss, and their gain, and think it is a great joke. In this particular aspect, their contempt for conservatives and the law-abiding DNA that makes us up, is boundless.
I am not posting much right now, not out of fear, but because I am so wounded by the knowledge that this election was bought and paid for by mortal enemies of our country, and nearly the entire government including those we thought would fight on behalf of the Constitution (and us) are in on this as well.
Our votes are meaningless. This is meaningful to conservatives, but to anyone who sides with the Left it does not as long as the gravy train rolls on.
I don’t know how I can ever legitimize this farce called American Election Day ever again by participating in it again, never mind voting for a filthy Republican. I must find a way, but right now...I cannot envision it.
I only see two ways out of this: Bloodshed to regain a free country, or a long, dark, Tyranny.
It isn’t going to happen by campaigning, donating, or political action. I say that because politically, it has been shown that there is no United States of America anymore where your right as a citizen is cemented by your agreement to be lawfully governed by those who you vote for. We have no say in the governing process.
That compact between millions of Americans, the agreement as citizens to be governed as long as we participate in a fair process to determine who governs us under the laws of The Constitution, has been irreparably and irrevocably broken.
This is not America. On January 20, 2021, I will take down my American Flag. Out of respect for the country it once represented and my father who was buried under it, I will not fly it at half mast, I will not fly it upside down, but...I will not legitimize it by flying it.
The pain I feel at this destruction of our Country is profound for me. I must find a way to navigate through this, and I think I will, but right now, I am in such anguish at what transpired on November 3, 2020 and ever single day thereafter, that I cannot face it right now.
I will, but right now-I cannot. I haven’t given up, but I am grievously wounded as an American and I have to find a way to move forward.
