I’ve found from the start the ‘democracy’ focus kind of odd. Sure, it’s an important part of political organization in Western culture since the time of the Greeks, but it isn’t even the real ‘thing’ - representation is the real issue, democracy- voting- is just one aspect of it. And was we have seen lately, elections aren’t all they are cracked up to be. From who votes, to who counts the votes, and before that how perceptions are manipulated- and rigged- to favor one way to vote. Never mind the inherent issues with 50%+1 mob mentality that is an inherent risk to our freedoms and well-being, if not lives.
No one sacrifices themselves for democracy. THey might have have wanted representation and seat at the power tables, but what gets the sharp end of the stick moving is fighting for Liberty, for freedom. I think freedom is a bit loose in meaning, but Liberty has a certain narrow definition that is easier to explain and communicate. Plus, ask people if they want Liberty or Democracy, and beware of the people that say democracy…
You almost everyone you can find an issue that they strongly believe in that doesn’t have 50%+1 approval- and in democracy, you are crap out of luck. But under a Liberty platform, that respects your Rights you have and will always have that right- not at the whim of some changing majority.
It just seems like this is the winning message for 2024. Sure democracy is part of our political history and culture, but what sets us apart is our Constitutionally acknowledged inherent rights that can’t be voted away. That’s Liberty. And I worry if Biden and his minnions eeck-out a win, they’ll take it as a mandate to finish the destruction of the US that Obama started.
Sadly, I think we’ve reached a tipping point where more people will vote for controlling what other people say and do, than will vote for their own Liberty.
It doesn’t matter now as far as “Liberty” goes. (Went)
This is America 6.0 by my count. There is very little liberty left and what is gone isn’t coming back. If it does it will only be due to anarchy. Either way I won’t be alive for it, or not for long.
So don’t worry about it. You can’t change any of that.
But a Trump victory WOULD be more fun. :sarcastic:
Again, I point to critical appointments. If Trump doesn’t go down the path to appeasement, MANY good things could happen. He’d have to get some real brawlers in there though.
I will be very shocked if DJT wins. The Left, deep state, machine, system or whatever you want to call who is really running this country, will not let him get a second term. They will pull out any and all stops to ensure that. IMHO.
Sabre’s are already being rattled about a virus much more powerful than COVID that seems to be waiting in the wings for a Trump nomination.
I put nothing past these assholes and their WEF.
2016 was a fluke- I don’t believe they thought he was going to win so they didn’t pull out the cheat machine. When 2020 rolled around they took no chances. With the sinking popularity of the ComDems’ policies and the damage they are doing to this country they know FJB (or his replacement) has little chance in a fair election. So they definitely cannot chance Wild Orange Man getting back in there and taking a hatchet to all the Left’s “accomplishments”.
