What he says at the end....I'm afraid might be true.   Mark Levin on midterm elections: What about the red wave? |

"there aren't enough American loving patriots left to win elections" for those who don't want to watch the video. That isn't a new idea, the right has almost always been lazy and apathetic when it comes to taking action in politics. There is a reason I have the sig line I do and it applied even before Trump was elected. Only 11 states had a higher voter turn than they did in 2018. Most states had 50% or less voter turn out. When 50% of the voters stay home and the election comes down to a few thousand votes, the party that loses is losing because people didn't care enough to vote not because they didn't didn't exist.  |
| Old fucks like him are why the culture has sunk to this level. They spent decades not conserving shit and now have thoughts about the situation today. Should have been throwing commies from the sky in the 60’s AT LEAST. They were happy to support the gop as long as they got low corporate tax rates and foreign wars they didn’t have to fight in. Meanwhile their country was being overrun by illegals and the left was positioning itself to control every lever of power in society. Should have used political power when they had it. At the end of the day levin and others are probably fine with all of this. After all, it gives them something to rage about every night for an hour and sell tv commercial times |

Democrats turn out because the party at least somewhat advances the agenda and throws a bone to it's base every once in a while. Republicans do the opposite, and on top of that insult and try to stab their supporters in the back at every opportunity. Now they wonder why people aren't excited to vote them? They know, they just don't care. |

Quoted: Says McConnell fault and or voters age under the age of 40 {doesn’t specify but implies} Tom Gresham said primarily the same thing on Gun Talk yesterday, about the younger voters. The Republicans aren't even going after them. The 'R's' live in a world where they are not embracing things like Tik-Tok. Gresham also lectured them about the constant complaints of cheating. Not that there's no cheating, but the Republicans had better learn to live with it and figure out a way to counter it. It's not going away, and if they want to win just beating the drum about rigged elections isn't going to correct anything. Gresham also made a bold statement: That Trump endorsed candidates who were loyal to him rather than who might have been "good" candidates, and that's why the Dems poured money into helping those candidates because they knew those would be easier to beat than "better" Republican candidates. Gresham says Trump might have been what the country needed in 2016, but now his childish narcissism makes him a liability and he just needs to go away. Reluctantly, I agree with him although I definitely do not like the fact that I do. |

I was fortunate enough to see Peter Zeihan a couple weeks ago. He believes we're in another period of the parties shifting (not that they every "switched sides" in such a binary fashion as the leftists would like minorities to believe) but there was some shuffling in the 30's and his take is that's what we're going through right now again as well. The establishment GOP is obviously entrenched against such a thing, even if it means losing the nation to the leftists. They're only interested in "conserving" their status quo. |

Quoted: Cultural rot may be far enough into society that conservatives are fighting a losing battle Patriotism may be gone. Thank you. Theres a very good chance he is correct. I believe the good still outnumber the bad, but the longer the good sit back and say 'some day....' the more the cancer takes over. Its gaining ground, fast. |

Hole up and mind your business. Unfortunately that just leaves the door open for those who are very interested in minding YOUR business for you. |

I've gotten into arguments with older family and friends that their generations didn't see the writing on the wall decades ago and were complacent. Some people that were just leftists a couple years ago are only just starting to see the big picture now. That and far too many people don't even vote to begin with. |

Quoted: the Republicans had better learn to live with it and figure out a way to counter it. It's not going away, and if they want to win just beating the drum about rigged elections isn't going to correct anything. That is a big reason behind why Trump is losing people. In 2016 Trump was solid, forward looking, talking about the things he wanted to fix and how he was going to fix them. Now all he does is whine about the past and is playing the victim card. It is sad that most of the Republican campaigns were just whining and no solutions. "Look at how bad is crime is under Democrats", "look at how bad inflation is", "look at how bad energy prices are", "look at how bad the schools are" but then offer no ideas on how they would change it. People don't vote for whiners and perpetual victims. Even my US Rep's email campaign was whiney "We failed again, we didn't meet our funding goal". My reaction to those emails is "why would I want to support a loser that clearly other Republicans don't want to support?". As others and I have mentioned, Mitch McConnel pulling funding from candidates who want a change in Republican leadership had a significant effect as well. He rather go 2 more years as a minority party then help elect a Republican Senator who will spend the next 30 years fighting the Republican establishment. It is no wonder that people didn't bother to vote. The Republican party leadership decided dividing the party and infighting was more important than running the country. |

It's really troublesome when some still keep pushing "elections" and "voters" when anyone with an IQ above 40 knows that those are just dog-and-pony shows that cater to the ones who refuse to believe that they do not matter anymore. They will be all sorts of "explanations" and "whys", and what to do next time to "vote them out". Cognitive dissonance is really a thing. |

Oregon, Washington, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, in particular, saw higher turnout because the ballots mailed to Democrat voters were harvested - either picked up or filled out by paid workers, mostly Union employees, and deposited for counting. Election Day voting in those states, favored by Republican voters, was not high enough to overcome the ballot harvesting operations. This gets fixed before 2024, or we lose. |
| It comes down to this, the dems/socialists have taken a page out of dark history "Give me your children and I will give you a new country" or words to that effect. If you control the minds of the youth, you will control the future. Conservatives have a lot of catching up to do. McCarthy was right. |

But in the end I think you’re right and as shitty as it was, since GD with all the shit talking over the years didn’t even put on their Hawaiian shirts, it’s unfortunately time to move on. Might be for the best. Iran is on the verge of declaring nuclear status so Trump may have dodged the bullet of having to go to war in the Middle East again and ruin his peacetime Presidency track record. I expect many gnashing of teeth threads eclipsing Ukraine threads coming up. |

Conservatism and hard work will always be overwhelmed in a welfare state. Both quotes (and I agree with them) indicate a perfect storm headed for a free America that has in the past provided liberty and economic opportunities for an extremely large and diverse group of people. The cultural rot will all but assure this storm. Moral relativism is now woven into our national fabric. Individual enterprise and hard work vs. a culture of freebies provided by the state has always been a difficult sell. Add to that the negative effects of public education and the establishment media over the last several decades. Add to that the "situational ethics" of many politicians. Election integrity is a huge question. It appears that the Democrats smell political blood in the water. Their machine can't seem to hide its aggressive lust for power. We have Leftist tyranny on the horizon. At least that's what I see following the mid-terms, and the assent to power of the Biden administration. Just a couple of decades ago such an administration would have been considered an embarrassing joke by a majority of people and even major media outlets. |

And Republicans need to stop thinking "nobody would vote for that Potato (Biden or Fetterman)! Did you see that debate?", and that the inflation and crime would drive people to the Right. Go talk to actual Democrats and you will see that is not the case at all. Add in very low turnout due to a demoralized conservative base and you get this. Of course there is fraud. But mail in voting allows every degenerate who wouldn't make the effort to walk 10 feet to vote, to vote. Or hand their ballot to someone else to fill out. |
 Dr. John Coleman- The Committee of 300 (1994) Full He told us this would happen. All of it. |

Ideally, we'd scrap the GOP and start a new political party of the Right. We need a lot more organization and State-National party discipline (which covers everything from doing our own Ballot Harvesting to not forcing retarded candidates on down ballot votes to keeping candidates and members from going off-message)....and we're not going to do that from within the GOP, as the Party structure is run by people who think everything is run just fine. They have mechanisms in place that prevent people from coming in and upsetting the applecart at the local/State level. It won't happen, because starting a new Party is hard and initially very disappointing (as you immediately lose the money and infrastructure of the GOP, and spend whole election cycles in the wilderness trying to elect your own local candidates and build a powerbase), and hasn't really worked in the US since the Whigs went tits up. The Presidential System doesn't reward parties who get 20% of the vote, like the Parliamentary System does, so coalition governments (which is where non-Big 2 parties tend to make their bones) are not possible. Second best would be an organized Entryism program aimed at taking over the GOP from the base upward. Tea Party tried that, and the Old GOP basically adopted a couple of platform points and ate the Tea Party, and it was business as usual within a couple of years. |

It is promulgated because it is simpler and easier meaning it requires less research and effort by the average lazy and low information voter to simply mail it in or be collected weeks ahead of time vs. Going to a precinct and filling out a ballot on election day. It is always going to favor the propagandist and those in control of information, who gets to push a narrative before any one on the right can mount an effective counter narrative before someone mails in their ballot. Get rid of the mail-in ballots in these blue/purple states with extremely loose and unregulated procedures that secure the vote. It is a gift for democrats because they can push out a narrative and get ballots harvested in the very next day. |

Sad for us. But at some point you have to admit you lost no matter how unjust it was and you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Always easier for people on the outside. When it’s you, it’s always harder, that’s human nature. But whether it’s Johnny Depp post Amber Heard trial or Trump post Xiden installed in White House, they both have family. In my worldview that counts for a lot. Spending time with those you care about and those who care about you when there’s fewer days ahead and most of your days are behind. It’s a bitter pill that the establishment went full retard to tarnish his brand {yes on occasion he stepped on his own dick but we’re all human, who the fuck hasn’t? I step on my own dick more than I care to admit} and deny him his re-election and now to try and shut him out entirely {endorsing other Reps running} but time catches up with us all. Had a been able to remain office he’d be like Reagan, leaving at 78 years old. Even if he wins 2024 he’d be putting up with all the horseshit going into 82 years old. |
