The funny thing about controlled opposition is they are supposed to play it close to the chest, so you're probably right. Sheldon probably even wrote the story himself that fucking sicko, these people get off on fucking everyone over, doing it daylight and not only getting away with it but forcing the people that fucks them over to openly congratulate them on it.

Many of us know protests have been funded and organized by the people in power as a way of preempting backlash, what are you gonna do protest against the protesters protesting for us to do a thing? I'm sorry but these protesters are just too scary we have to cave wink wink.

Now they are going to just manufacture votes, it could be that no one votes, literally no one could vote and they'll just manufacture it, and everyone will notice and they'll get away with it and the journalist attack dogs will sic there goons on you if you point it out.

Well, the only reason we hear about conservatives pointing this out is because there's yet to be a way for them to be silenced cleanly.

That, and developed countries have a lot of bread and circuses to pacify the people. You'd really have to Weimar the U.S. before you see people mobilizing with how much we have now, which is why the non-establishment left can manage to do so-- their conditioning is such that they always feel that way.

On the other hand, the Democrats as a whole are just more shrewd, and many Republicans are content with playing the jobber. Time will tell if the Trump phenomenon was an anomaly, and their voterbase really is content with said contentment. Though, I'd argue if they are, they outright suffer from sloth.


You need more fiber in your diet, and I have just the suggestion.

And now you see the sources of escapism being taken away from you too. Everything must be political, everything must be in pursuit of utopia.

When the Right does nut up and attempt to organize, it gets shoah'd or false-flagged almost immediately.

I forgot that part. That's also a thing. There'll be no uprising because it'll be snuffed out immediately.

The only thing keeping Trump from conceding is his ego at this point.

Bannon just had some lawyer on who pointed out a very interesting fact about PA. Apparently, PA's constitution had a clause limiting absentee ballots to a very select set of circumstances. PA legislature passed a law giving them to almost anyone. Now it turns out that law may well be unconstitutional. That is recognized and the solution was to have a state referendum to change the constitution but that hasn't happened yet.

So there may be a finding that the vast majority of PA mail-ins might be illegal.

Except Trump doesn't have enough time to use that bullet. As it stands now, they can just kick the can down the road before they give the impression of reform because they just need to run out the clock and force Trump out.

That's in the same logic as "Republicans will storm back in 2022!". That's a fucking joke. I don't see how someone could say Trump winning a second term is a wash compared to Biden winning. A Biden presidency the lid slamming shut on any other "unexpected" candidate. I seriously hate the "it's ok because we'll totally come back and win the free and fair elections of 2022 and 2024!" crowd more than any other. Better to have a tiger of an enemy than a pig of an ally and all the people saying that are mere pigs leading the line to the permanency of the uniparty's control.

Seriously, mull it over in your minds. After witnessing this election, say it, "The free and fair elections of 2022 and 2024". If you believe that, then holy shit tell me what bets you're putting down so I can take them.

SO what do you think will the first Democrat pet project to be pursued? What do you think the camps for MAGA types will look like? Who do you think will be the first to face the Trust and Reconciliation Commission?

The cracks are showing. The walls are closing in. And the clock is ticking. And soon, Trump will find himself a wanted man.

Don't worry, this will be the year 2nd larpers will finally take up arms against that there tyrannical government.

Don't worry the big red wave is gonna come and restore the constitution and carry Ted Cruz to the white house any day now.

I don't think he's saying that it'll be the same as Biden winning, just that the country is so unbelievably compromised that even if Trump wins, it'll take a miracle to reverse the direction America's been heading towards for the past 50 or so years, hence delaying the inevitable. I agree with the rest of your post though, it's ridiculous that people still insist there can be a fair election again if Biden wins, period.

A Trump win doesn't guarantee correcting the course, but it at least gives the country a chance to not be dismantled and piecemealed out to foreign and corporate interests. I don't see any option in a Biden win except hoping that the federal apparatus is too bloated and incompetent to adequately oppress people. However if they keep up with this lockdown shit, we might well get to see some shooting break out. You know what they say about missed meals and anarchy.

People put Ron Paul on too high of a pedestal. Trump, too.

If this "rebellious American spirit" died when an 80 year-old man lost a primary, then I guess that spirit wasn't all that to begin with.

Ideas and movements should be bigger than the personalities that prop them up.

You think that. Then reality comes and rears its head.

I must admit I think President Biden is the most likely outcome at this point.

So I had time to look it up and didn't see anything about it today, and the fact that you ignored my previous polite request on clarification, I think it's safe to assume you are an exceptional individual and can filter you out of the thread.

Except the part of the Internet that isn't BS when it comes to that line of thinking is most likely the part about glowing. Also, with how Biden wants to crack down on the Second Amendment (like banning online sales), unless someone takes a page from ISIS and uses knives or a truck, or a Killdozer, people will be content watching shit on TV or streaming.

Oh they don't need to do that. They just need to reverse course and start shipping jobs out to 3rd world shitholes, drop refugees and illegal immigrants who can't speak the language or know anything about where they are at into communities, and poz the education system further to either demoralize or mutilate children. These people aren't soo stupid as to do something that intensive and overt when they've got all these other options that their happy little useless idiots will implement for them.

And then we have a democratic Senate, and then the road to utopia begins. And the question becomes which pet project will be pursued first.

 

[Grandpa Simpson]

flynn was ensnared in a conspiracy, not surprised he thinks similar conspiracies are real.

Well it doesn't help when the establishment are helping foster that mindset.

Depending on how specific you want to get FDR or Nixon fucked things up when they tinkered with the economy.

It's like Metokur said people fall for this shit because they'd rather have something else to blame instead of themselves.

But to what extent? The bread and circuses are still there, but they're a different flavor-- that's not the same as them being gone entirely, and it'll be truly difficult to deplete the honest-to-God bread and circuses between the broadness in choice one has and the fact that when that fails you can just import a more palatable circus without ever leaving your home.

I think the point is that they didn't set up a hearing for today, when the certification was scheduled. Of course, it can still be taken up before the 14th, but now they also have the fact that the results were certified coming up against them.

Good point. So the first pet project you believe will be pursued will be immigration.

I'll be honest, it is tempting. And some will probably say it's better to fuck off than to wait for everything to go to Hell.

Let's be real, if they double down the breads and circuses aren't even gonna pacify people enough to have them forget their actual problems in life.
That's probably why things got so damn polarized in recent years. Haven't you noticed that?

I guess that's one way to explain the streaming boom. And Tiger King getting big in the age of Corona.

Couldn't Trump just continue to request recounts in perpetuity until he runs out the clock to December 14th and force a constituent vote, or whatever it's called?

Don't forget explosives. Ted Kaczynski proved you just need household stuff to raise havoc. Actually I'm wondering when we will start getting those. The FBI can't infiltrate every little chat group of pissed off people. Hell, explosives even remove the roadblock of having to be upclose and personal. I think before we really get mass shootings, it'll be explosives. I don't condone that, but it is my prediction if these lockdowns are maintained the way these blue states are doing them.
