Trump didn’t sell out his supporters. In fact, his presidency saw something extraordinary, even if it was all but invisible from the country’s globalized cities: the first egalitarian boom since well back into the twentieth century. In 2019, the last non-Covid year, he presided over an average 3.7 percent unemployment rate and 4.7 percent wage growth among the lowest quartile of earners. All income brackets increased their take. That had happened in the last three Obama years, too. The difference is that in the Obama part of the boom, the income of the top decile rose by 20 percent, with tiny gains for other groups. In the Trump economy, the distribution was different. Net worth of the top 10 percent rose only marginally, while that of all other groups vaulted ahead. In 2019, the share of overall earnings going to the bottom 90 percent of earners rose for the first time in a decade.
Other than PDT, virtually everyone you vote for today is in it for themselves. Trump is from the same era I am, the 1960s, where these really were the outcomes we all wanted. Now we get Daniel Andrews and their useless “globalist” socialist swindlers instead. Biden and Clinton are rapacious thieves who could not care less who knows it. If some political “leader” is for “green energy” then you know whose side they are really on. Their own and not yours.
It is still the most remarkable part of this that no one I know who prefers Biden will even concede in the most infinitesimal way that there may actually have been any fraud whatsoever involved. No idea how it will end up, but no question that if Biden becomes president, it will be due to electoral fraud.
This is from Mark Steyn: Looking for an Argument in which the point he makes is that in the American system politicians are never forced to debate.
So now we’re told that we all have to rush to Georgia for two months to focus on the run-off election because those two GOP Senate candidates are the only things that stand in the way of Biden-Harris ramming the Green New Deal down your gullet, and giving statehood to DC and Puerto Rico, thus greatly diminishing Susan Collins’ importance in Senate arithmetic now and forever.
Maybe. But it really would be nice if these guys would make an argument for something once in a while, instead of just saying we’re the fellows to block the other fellows. I mean, we’ve been here before even within the shriveled perspective of political memory: A decade ago we were told we had to back Republicans because they’re opposed to Obamacare. They raised a zillion dollars, saved their seats, won total control in 2016 …and had no plan.
He’s right. We make our politicians debate all the time. Not that it makes all that much difference but it does make some. It also helps that there is always a Leader of the Opposition whose job it is to point out the flaws in what the government is doing. In the US, they just leave that to Twitter and Facebook.
If you don’t regularly deal with people on the left you have no idea how mad they are. That there was genuine fraud by the Democrats in this election is so evident that it ought to be beyond doubt. We could talk about the scale or the difficulties in fixing things after the fact, but not whether it has even occurred. But no one I personally know will admit it – zero probability or less they say. It’s one thing for some top Democrat not to own up in the United States since the game is to deny the obvious for ever and a day, or at least until the election is declared. But for personal friends here in Oz, why is it impossible for any of them to agree there may be something in it? Nevertheless, no one will do it. Fascinating. They are all in on the lie. It is a psychosis of some kind. They will lie to you straight to your face even though their admission will change nothing. It is incredible. If you push them, they might accept there might be a one in a million chance, but even that they will not do.
That the Dems are trying to steal the election is beyond obvious is discussed here by Tony Thomas in a post at Quadrant Online. Here’s how it starts but read it all.
It now looks like Deep State criminals have tweaked voting machine software to switch Trump votes – possibly millions of them — to Biden to create the illusion of a Democrat victory. You don’t have to believe me on this.
If you still retain a smidgen of high-school algebra, the data patterns in voting in the swing state of Michigan speak for themselves. A team of three engineers and software analysts have demonstrated that a minimum of 69,000 votes there were switched from Trump to Biden.
Biden is supposed to have won Michigan and its 16 Electoral College votes by about 146,000 votes in an electorate of 5.4 million. If the vote switching occurred, the two candidates would be virtually neck and neck, Trump probably ahead.
The same voting machines and their software were used through all the swing states. Another ‘if’: if similar fraud is accepted by courts to have prevailed in those states, the US is headed for a giant constitutional crisis.
The Michigan auditing team was Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, an MIT trained data scientist and Fulbright Scholar and now Republican Senate candidate; Bennie Smith, a Democrat and software engineer, data analyst and an election commissioner; and Phil Evans, engineer and data analyst.
They analysed voting patterns in Michigan’s four biggest counties and concluded the patterns must have resulted from an inserted algorithm that switched salami-slices of votes from the Trump tally to the Biden column. The greater the voting support for Trump and Republicans, the bigger was the slicing-off for Biden. This can be shown by straight trend lines in the graphs, which would normally display a wide scatter.
But this is a secret known only to those who support Donald Trump. An almost absolutely certain tell over who someone hopes to see win the American election is to ask if they think there might possibly have been electoral fraud, and if they say no, then you know with near certainty they are a loopy Democrat who will lie to the end of the earth so that their socialist mates can ruin everyone’s lives, including their own.
A judge in Pennsylvania has ruled in favor of the Trump campaign after concluding that ballots received after 8 p.m. on Election Day that were segregated should not be counted.
Comes with this:
Like I said, Pennsylvania is going to the Supreme Court. And it won't be pretty for the Dems and their "president elect." https://t.co/N90rNAOD3o
Biden needs 270 Electoral votes or more to come out of the basement and become the first chief executive of the most powerful force on the planet with early stage dementia. It is a civil rights thing so deal with it. If you think that is wrong, you are a racist. The 290 Electoral vote total includes 20 from Pennsylvania. There is a ton of fraud in that state and you are seeing all kinds of reports of ballots coming in at 4:00 AM and all that. Skip it. That does not matter. Focus people on the Justice Alito Supreme Court Order. Justice Alito, not a man with whom to trifle, is in charge of day-to-day activities for a group of states and Pennsylvania is one of them. The Justice told Pennsylvania to “segregate” any vote that came in after 8:00 PM on election night. You will recall, DJ was winning bigly (a Scott Adams word) at that point.
Our papers and the press generally are a disgrace. Journalists are the ventriloquist dummies of the people who pay them. Except for the ABC where they are just a bunch of ignorant socialists.
Socialism within a one-party state is the working meaning of fascism. The official definition at Wikipedia describes fascism as “right wing”, but that has always been part of the cover up. China, for example, is a fascist state.
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
The accurate bits are in bold and that bit of cover-up is in non-italicised print. Popular with many when it starts but very difficult to get rid of once in place. Orwell’s definition is pretty good:
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.
That the visible destruction of a democratic order in the United States appears to please so many is in itself the essence of the problem.
