So, tomorrow I head off to vote. We’ve got a bunch of local elections, everything from dog-catcher to Selectmen to School Board positions on ballot and I know why I’m voting for each of my choices. And in my town, most or all of my candidates will win. I live in a relatively rare place, a conservative New England town. So, there is sense and satisfaction in getting out to vote in these local elections.
This will be the anniversary of the 2020 Election Day. Well, sort of. The whole Tuesday after the first Monday in November thing means the actual date varies but close enough. Looking back on that night and how I watched an election stolen in real time reminds me why I no longer consider this a legitimate republic. A cabal of public and private organizations perpetrated open election fraud in a number of key states. The fact that a number of red states allowed this to happen proves to me that we live in a banana republic.
A banana republic is a country run by a dictatorship of either a single strongman or an oligarchic clique that carries on the pretense of things like elections but controls the outcome of these elections in an openly farcical manner. I think that about covers our case. Think of the spectacle of the Philadelphia vote counting operation sending the poll watchers home, covering the windows with card board and then bringing in truck loads of phony ballots to be counted behind locked doors. Even a moron would know what was going on but we are supposed to shrug our shoulders and pretend we didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
So, tomorrow Virginia will vote for governor. The latest polls say the republican is ahead by between two and eight percentage points. That would lead you to believe that he probably will win. But based on what we’ve seen I wouldn’t be surprised at all if after some number of days after election day the Democrat candidate will emerge victorious by some ridiculously small number of votes. The fact that it will take a week or so to engineer this result shouldn’t disturb us or lead us to believe that fraud has been practiced. No, far from it. It’s just the new normal.
And if by some miracle, the republican wins we know that this is a temporary setback. After all Dementia Joe’s minions are hard at work transporting hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to red states all over the United States. Whatever deficit in the voting rolls might exist today will be made up for with “new Americans.”
So right now, for me, all politics is local. Because that is the only politics that isn’t rigged. Maybe some effort will be made to clean up the fraud. It’s possible. Places like Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia are trying to figure out how to clean up this mess. But right now, there is no guarantee that they’ll be able to accomplish what they need to. What would be a good sign is if we get beyond the current audit stage and get to the point where individuals are indicted for voter fraud and convicted. That would make it less likely that things like what happened in Pennsylvania and Georgia would continue. But until then I have to assume that for anything beyond my town’s boundaries, I’m just watching a charade that keeps us in the same club as Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and Kim Jong-un’s North Korea. Good luck Virginia. You’ll need it.
