Uh, we’ve all known for years. We’ve been plenty awake and suffering for it the whole time. Unfortunately people (Democrats) who tend to act in good faith don’t know how to deal with people who don’t. While we were fighting for votes, they were fighting to make sure those votes didn’t count while we stood by and let them.
MILLIONS of voters were purged from the voter rolls and bomb threats were called into polling places in critical precincts on election day. The impact was more than enough to swing the election. Here’s the numbers. The elected democrats didn’t do enough to stop it and now we’re stuck fighting an uphill battle that we all must fight. It’s going to get ugly – for us and the rest of the world.
You blame Democrats and specific events. I blame the american populace, culture and political system. This began a lot more than just four years ago. Keeping the blinders on allowed them to take your country from you without you even realizing it was happening until it was too late.
Do tell. How would you have prevented all this from happening?
Well I certainly wouldn't have stuck my head in the sand and ignored it. Perhaps organize to start.
You could have started years ago when your fair leader sent his Nazi goons into your democratic institutions to shut them down and perhaps avoided his reelection by putting him in...oh I don't know...fucking, prison!
There were many reasons well before that...bush Jr ...weapons of mass distraction and all that bullshit as a single example.
You could have rioted when the supreme Court gave unlimited dictatorial power to your president prior to the election and shut down the election completely until something was done about it.
You also could have rioted when a 34 time convicted felon and known grifter was permitted to even run in the election A SECOND TIME.
You could be on general strike for the past month or more all refusing to work and supporting your neighbors so they don't have to either. Shutting down your economy and collapsing the financial system that props up heir drumphkin and his cronies. But you'd probably have to associate with people you don't know and your government has been telling you not to trust your entire life.
More options? There are many yet here we are.
Meet your neighbors. Organize. Resist. And quit blaming other people for your problems.
