To my mind, if there is evidence of fraud–and there is–then this whole thing needs to be a criminal investigation, and the charge obstruction of justice, at least, for non-cooperation.
They need search warrants to seize the routers and servers, and need the power to arrest and charge anyone who obstructs them in any way. They need to put in jail anyone who won’t give them the keys to the rooms where the electronics are stored, and the passwords to everything.
I don’t know what fucking country I live in any more. Were we not once supposed to be the Home of the Free and Land of the Brave? All I see are fucking cowards and corrupt blowhards everywhere I look. Everyone is shaking in their shoes about confronting blatant crooks robbing us blind and selling us out to our enemies.
And I will add that Republicans don’t have to stoop to the Democrats level to fight them. We did not have to become Nazis to fight Nazis, or Communists to fight Communists. What you have to do is, first, stand your ground, and then take theirs. Take what they value. Take from them their strategies.
Step one is an aggressive strategy to prove fraud. They know this, which is why Garland, who is supposed to enforce the law, is breaking it in declaring efforts to verify that fraud did not determine the election–which it patently did–illegal. OF COURSE they want to make anything illegal, if they are allowed to, which will show them to be the criminals they obviously are. OF COURSE they want to withhold evidence. OF COURSE they want to prevent any and all efforts to check ANYTHING. They want no signatures, no limits, no valid voter roles, NOTHING, and if they are allowed to, that is what they will get. Then we are on the path to totalitarianism, mass immiseration, generalized poverty, and a world populated entirely by pimps and prostitutes.
None of this is necessary. There is every reason to suppose the Democrats are worried. None of this is popular, and none of it would be accepted at all had a large chunk of our population not been taught to believe the most monstrous lies imaginable–indeed, some would have been to me UNimaginable. I would not have thought any of this COVID bullshit would be bought by anyone for more than a couple weeks.
In their own minds, they are probably engaged on their Long March, to the end of freedom. It is not easy. They are likely whining internally about what feeble opposition there still is.
Americans want to be free. What determined so many people against President Trump was that they accepted the blatant lie that HE, and not the Democrats, was the threat to freedom. HE, not the Democrats, had sold out the country, they believed.
We need, all of us, everyone who values truth, decency, the American Way, honor, integrity, and all the other things that make social life bearable and even ennobling, need to fight every day against this darkness arrayed against us. Fight for your own thoughts, and at a minimum donate to causes doing good work, like PragerU and Judicial Watch.
I don’t know the solution. All I know is that large things are the result of many small things, and that if we are to have any chance, there have to be a LOT of us who deserve that chance in all ways possible to us.
