I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. \u2013 Abraham Lincoln<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>About a hundred and sixty years ago after another presidential election the United States of America broke in two.\u00a0 The circumstances had many of the same symptoms from which we are suffering now.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The two parts of the country held each other in deep mutual disdain.\n<ul>\n<li>It would be hard to claim that the Left and the Right do not hate each other wholeheartedly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The Progressive party saw its advantage in overwhelming its adversary through massive immigration.\n<ul>\n<li>Check.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The Progressive party saw its agenda as a moral crusade. They thought of their opponents as vile sinners who must be punished as severely as possible.\n<ul>\n<li>Check.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The Progressive party encouraged zealots to take matters into their own hands and commit crimes up to and including murder if it advanced the progress of the cause.\n<ul>\n<li>Check.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My point is that after witnessing all the BLM and COVID madness that has gone on and the scale of election fraud that was completely ignored by almost all levels of government at the federal, state and local level I no longer see a way that we are going to be able to reconcile our differences with the Left.\u00a0 And that is not because I don\u2019t think there are millions on the Right who want to let things blow over.\u00a0 They do.\u00a0 But the Left neither cares nor thinks they have to care what we think.\u00a0 They intend to force us to live how they want us to live.\u00a0 And that includes thoughts, words and deeds.\u00a0 They will propagandize our children, monitor our communications, dictate our entertainment and regulate our religious and family lives.\u00a0 Unless we break free.<\/p>\n<p>You need look no further than Portland Oregon to see the template for how things will be done.\u00a0 Thugs will terrorize our neighborhoods and the government will not intercede on our behalf.\u00a0 They will select victims whose only crimes are being white or being normal or just being happy and they will make an example of you.\u00a0 And after they\u2019ve ruined your life you will be held up in the media as a warning so that those like you will grovel and hand over everything they have; their money, their homes, their jobs, their self-respect, their families and finally their lives.\u00a0 But first what you\u2019ll give up is your freedom; freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly and the right to bear arms.<\/p>\n<p>And what is our sin?\u00a0 We were stupid.\u00a0 We believed that America guaranteed its citizens the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.\u00a0 As it turns out, those things are only yours for as long as you are willing to fight for them.\u00a0 The Left has been learning from the Jacobins and their Marxist children for almost as long as the country has been here.\u00a0 And now with the help of the globalist oligarchs they\u2019ve concocted a gulag for us that Orwell himself couldn\u2019t have imagined in his worst nightmares.\u00a0 And of course, it has a smiley face slapped onto the front just so you know that there\u2019s nothing personal, just the system doing what it\u2019s supposed to, rooting out bad thoughts.\u00a0 It\u2019s being done for your own good.<\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s the story.\u00a0 They\u2019re not going to let us go.\u00a0 They\u2019ll continue the campaign until they win or we give them a bloody nose.\u00a0 And that\u2019s only going to happen when our side decides to stop playing nice.\u00a0 Because two can play at this game.\u00a0 One of these days I expect all red counties to show 4000% voting levels.\u00a0 Or all the Google server farms in red areas will simultaneously have the sewer lines become pressurized and fry the cloud.\u00a0 Or maybe NLM (Normal Lives Matter) will suddenly appear in Cambridge and burn Harvard University to the ground as a way to equalize higher education in America.\u00a0 Who knows what will be the first step?<\/p>\n<p>But the real first step is acknowledging that the system isn\u2019t set up to do what it says it will do.\u00a0 It\u2019s a scam and we are the marks.\u00a0 And the only time you might be hearing someone tell the truth is when they drop the flowery language and tell you what concrete thing, they can give you if you work with them.\u00a0 Like if they say they\u2019re going to ignore the federal requirements for entitlements, affirmative action, LGBTQ madness and illegal immigration.\u00a0 Those are real things.\u00a0 If they do those things then they\u2019re for real.\u00a0 Those will be people who have brains and guts.\u00a0 Look for those people and then watch to see if they produce results.\u00a0 They\u2019re going to want things in return.\u00a0 They are going to want to run things their way.\u00a0 If they can produce results, pay them.\u00a0 They will be worth the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And
