Yeah, that situation is a little odd. Because obviously they had a contentious primary race and Trump called him Lyin' Ted but now Lyin' Ted seems to be one of his fiercest allies.
Cruz is at heart a grifter who will pander to the less-represented wing of the party while being sufficiently establishment where he won't scare away normie GOPers. He's shifted from being pro-Tea Party/Evangelical to a more pro-Trump, anti-Big Tech position because he's got slightly more foresight than the rest of the party leadership. It's only natural for him to become a fierce supporter of Trump if he wants to get the MAGA vote.
 
Yeah there is something to be said for being late to the party.
The opposition got it all together by time folks like you react.

People are freaking out for good reason.

How to fix it? I dont know what to tell you. Dont despair and hope things get better? But dont bullshit your self things are nice and dandy either.

The most optimistic solutions I can think of are not of the rose tinted glasses kind.
Honestly, at some point, the only real viable solution is to take yourself out in Minecraft before someone else does. Especially when you know things are destined to get much, much worse.
 
Trump has yet to play his final trump card and SCOTUS has not ruled. Wait until January 20th to fully start dooming and then start planning on how to deal with it a week later.
Here's the thing though: he's running out of time and ways to play his card, and he's running out of ways for it to be as effictive as he'd like. That's the problem people have.
 
I mean, the end is here, we're reaching "last one out, turn out the lights" and "better to burn out than fade away" hours. I mean, what else can you do when you know the progressive machine is going to crush you like a bug?
To me it sounds like you are fedposting and trying to bait people into saying stuff that draws attention from the fbi. Better to burn out and fade away is a last option resort while there are many things you can do before it comes to that.

I'll just say I ain't fedpoisting because I can't keep up a facade to save my life, and then say I don't know what else to say since it seems minds are already made up about things.
 
Here's the problem with your absolute doomerism, you seem to think that people take things lying down very easily, and I'm not blaming you considering just how the Right acts every time they're opposed by the left. Here's the issue, the reason why right wingers don't oppose is not necessarily because they're cucks, it's because they make a calculated decision on what they have to lose vs what they can win. Why don't right wingers go against antifa? Because they realize that they can lose their jobs, their bank account, etc. It's just not worth it because they have something at stake that they're not willing to lose.
The issue here is fundamentally systemic: by all rights, if you switched nothing about Antifa and Proud Boys except who they were going to bat for/what team they were playing for/whatever you want to call it, the reactions to the two groups from the side of the establishment would be completely different.

That's the reality. The left-wing almost never has anything to lose because they are heavily protected.

As far as I can see there is no solution to this blatant double standard.

Wonderful sentiment. Few actually believe it though. Look at people's actions.

I can think of some solutions, but I'm not going to be the one to do them. Hell, I won't even point them out because there would be vans.
 
Shine, don't glow you silly person. But for real, people do need to watch their phrasing for stuff could be taken out of context easily. It's
only so much you can do when people are actively looking for anything that could be construed as a dog-whistle for glowposting though.

There is only one solution

This is what's coming. The only question is when are we going to see it.
Me? Never. One of the reasons I stopped giving a shit about Comicsgate, Star Wars, and popular media alltogether is because I realized that there's a treasure trove of old shit that can keep me entertained. Kathleen Kennedy can do all the shit she wants to Lucasfilm, unless you force me to look into a telescreen, I'll never see it. And if the day comes when we do have telescreens, then I'd say we have a hell of a lot more to be worried about than Star Wars.

Putting aside all the things about Powell's case, this is a fucking terrible and scary mindset for a judge to have.
No, retard, in the middle of Powell's incoherent rant, he asked- in the context of the fact that all her allegations were bullshit, that she was raising the case in the wrong venue, and that no precedent would allow throwing out the votes of the majority of Georgians for Joe Biden- whether disenfranchising Georgians would have any impact on the outcome, which has Joe Biden winning biggly in the electoral college.

It wouldn't.

You are being very pessimistic.

Things are going be tough in decades ahead. That aint no lie. You need faith things will get better if you wish to survive and look for the best in what outcome the situation will allow.

My solution is start working on a second republic, defund or abolish the police and form militias. Thats the most legal thing you can do.

My Republican friends all told me Cruz is even more hated by the RNC insider types than Trump was. Cruz always seems like a legal autist type who does what he thinks is morally right and is used to being unpopular for it.

I kind of wish he'd been POTUS, to be honest. He wouldn't have generated as much sound and fury as Trump did but he might well have got more done behind the scenes.

Trump was always good at provoking his enemies. Unfortunately, it seems like he's provoked them so much they'd stuff ballots and then have the media and big tech cover that up which seems like it will take the US into a very dark place indeed where the elites no longer have to worry about winning elections or getting criticized.

You are being very pessimistic.
Agreed. @Random Internet Person I think it's bad to assume that everything will turn out for the best and think of possible ways it could all go wrong but it's psychologically unhealthy to fixate on those. None of us know what is going to happen. I think taking a bad situation and extrapolating it out into a uniformly bad future is not a valid thing to do because US politics has a lot of entropy and that means that linear extrapolation isn't valid. The future of the US looks more like a particle being jostled around by Brownian motion and doing a random walk than just heading off to infinity in a vacuum.

And having typed that out it's a terrible analogy but you can probably see what I'm getting at. The US won't end up with a permanent Uniparty regime even if we can't say now what will stop that.

The reason I'm sure of it is that the US has been through a lot of crises and none of them have produced a stable Uniparty regime. The US's two-party split is a very persistent feature that keeps reappearing even if the party names change. The Democrats' dreams of permanent hegemony will fail because they don't understand that.

How would the media react if in a scenario were the third party won?
It’s going to be Jeb

It goes to a contingent election and Congress chooses Jeb as a compromise
If it goes to a contingent election Congress can only choose between the top three candidates. So if Biden and Trump are both unacceptable because they'd lead to some sort of civil war they'd have to pick Jorgenson as the compromise candidate.

Oh shi~
