I have very few interactions anymore with Democrats because when I do, they cannot tell me why they will vote for Harris. Not one ever names a specific policy she has advanced that they support. But they will, almost angrily, tell me why Donald Trump is awful, even though they cannot pinpoint a single policy recommendation that they oppose. My only reply has been to say this (based on a meme I recently saw): your vote is not a Valentine that sends love to the person you are voting for. It is, instead, a chess move, something you have critically thought through that will result in the kind of country you want to live in. Normally, the Dems I have spoken to do not react to that idea other than to look as though they have been frightened and need to scurry off.

Cogent thoughts like that sound to a Democrat like a Kamela word salad sounds to us. They can't process logic.

A large percentage of people can only ever vote for their team.

In the past I think that is certainly true. But this year feels so very different; well, "feels" is the wrong word here; I should have said this year is objectively different with too many fundamentals being endangered such as the First Amendment, cutting body parts off healthy children, stepping ever closer to WW3, and losing our integrity as a nation. That's why it's difficult for me to accept that people only vote for their team. Everything is on the line this year. Elon Musk said this might well be the last election. I don't think there's another time in American history when we could say that.

Of course, the other side says if Trump wins it will be the last election because he'll destroy democracy. Fear baiting nonsense.

If Democrats win, I think it's more accurate to say this could be the last fair election Republicans could actually win. Democrats could and would change laws to make it structurally impossible for Republicans to win.

I started door knocking just this morning using a Republican voter registration list the courthouse sent me. My first house I figured was a shoe in for Trump. Instead, the man said (although he’s a registered Republican) that he prefers Harris. With every single issue I brought up, he evaded by changing the subject. Here’s one example: I said immigration in the numbers we are currently facing is unsustainable for cultural reasons and it’s costing taxpayer millions with all the free stuff they’re getting. And HE said, Americans Indians had similar complaints about white immigration. 🤦🏽‍♀️ That is how it went on issue after issue.

Wow. That is great information. That man's in terminal woke-mind-virus state. He's rolling over.

There's something you can do. You can relieve him by letting him know that colonising land/people's is a human condition that's happened throughout history. England was colonised over and over again - by vikings, romans, normans, saxons - and then the British got the smarts and built some good ships, had some good gunpowder, and became the winners. Yay team. It's a game, and we need to keep our land - hold onto it. There's enough that would try to take it at a heartbeat.

Try as I might to provide some historical context to his worries over American Indians, he continued changing the subject: "but what about Africa?" was his next switcheroo after explaining to me how the Indians felt. Hell will freeze over before I will talk to that man again.

Another idea... Have you tried agreeing with him? That yes, he was terrible to have taken the Indians' land? There's a few new pathways that could come out of that :D

Expand full comment

So he doesn't have a 'fight for his own land' instinct in his body? Is the projected guilt flooring him? What does he think the Indians should've done?

Rolled over like he is doing, or fight? The Indian's land and the native-born American's services are now being taken over by illegal immigrants. If he's 'switcheroo'd' it means he's lost the micro-argument.

What about Africa? Like the Chinese buying up a whole lot of land, displacing the residents, so they can grow food for their billions? Tell him he has to be strong or his land is going as well.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is "not a joke" (hat tip to beach bum Biden). People afflicted with the syndrome, especially those at stages 3/4, get a crazed look in their eyes as they literally SPIT out Trump's name. Never seen anything like it. Between those voters, the left's commitment to stealing elections, and the media's commitment to cover for them, I fear it's not bad enough yet for a change in direction in this country. Tragically, by the time it IS bad enough, it will be way too late to reverse course.

JanC1955 - you mean after Trump is elected and then calls for a declaration of national emergency in order to stop any more elections from happening? After Trump gets elected all other elections are bad, very bad, the worst thing - to paraphrase Trump.

Love that as a slogan! I had a t-shirt and yard signs made that read: "We're voting for the felon and the hillbillly." Every Republican friend of mine gets it and thinks it's hilarious. Two Democrats I spoke with recently asked me how on earth I could vote for a felon. They just don't get the joke.

He’s only a felon because of charges that have been selectively made against only him. They are common misdemeanors that many others are guilty of committing, plus those who were supposedly hurt by his “crimes” have said they would do business with him again. This was a coordinated effort to “get Trump” by politicians who campaigned with that mantra. I’m voting for the felon of made up charges.

Oh to be you, Mary, where the Democrats you interact with are so atypically polite. It has been my experience that they are usually quite vile and violent at any bit of counterpoint.

I think their politeness here stems from the fact that not only is this area of Pennsylvania rural, but has been Republican since 1860. They didn’t even vote for FDR in 1933 or in any of his other 3 elections. Democrats are a tiny minority here, so if they expect to have any kind of life, they have to mind their manners. LOL

Seriously If this hand-picked-by-Hilary cretin gets installed in the presidency the illusion of a democratic republic will disappear completely along with the well being of We the People.

My husband has been having a fruitless interaction with someone on Facebook Messenger about the political situation. This person believes every lie told about Trump. He has a major case of TDS. He has had 7 COVID vaccines. In my opinion he is completely brainwashed. Everyone who disagrees with him is evil and won't consider any news source other than CNN, MSNBC, etc. It is very frustrating how many people have lost the ability to think for themselves.

The fact that people lost the ability to discern truth from the falsehoods became apparent to me many years ago. Millions watched expertly done "controlled demolitions" happen before their very eyes and then blamed it on a bunch of people who were riding around on camels in a desert before they just barely learned to fly a cesna a few weeks earlier. After a few hours practice on a small two engine plane...they could then fly a jumbo jet filled with screaming passengers into a building with pinpoint accuracy. People believe what they are told to believe. We needed to invade someplace with oil. The "no plane" arguments have gone on for decades....Plane or no plane---this narrative stinks like old fish. But people "believed" it.

I was very suspicious of the whole "covid" psyops from the beginning. It was just so convenient to lock everyone up while they stripped our assets, destroyed schools and churches and retreated to their tropical paradises. America and the ideals which founded it have been a thorn in the side of the globalists and that includes the Chinese. I remember how Klaus Schwab waxed absolutely star struck talking about how well the human detritus were managed in China.

Truth is when someone speaks out in China .... he is locked up and his organs are harvested and his family is killed. See Guzzman....THE BLOODY HARVEST.

The manufacture and distribution of Trump Derangement Syndrome has been the single most successful psyop campaign ever concocted by any government or cabal in the history of mankind. One must admit that Trump himself has been the booster shot, and while this might diminish the accolades due the accomplishment, it does not diminish the result. One gets the sense that had Trump had a public relations manager, say on par with an Edward Bernays, and had he listened to and followed his advivce, one could easily argue that TDS would never have become the autoimmune pandemic that it has. But given where we are, one could also argue that Satan himself is making the rapid progress he is by introducing himself at every turn simply as “not Trump”.

Just as what Kamala is. She is much, much more dangerous than any other candidate for President has ever been. For the main reason, she is totally controlled and hyped up to lie, dissuade, avoid and tyrannize to win! I have said this before: I cringe at the thought of her being the first woman President. What a depressing disappointment. I would have been excited and proud to have seen Tulsi Gabbard in her place.

Even if Trump had chosen to follow the wise advice of a public relations manager, how would he ever overcome the psyop campaign of the legacy media? I've never seen such bias. That said, kudos to Bill Whitaker for asking some good questions.

“Kamala Harris cannot think—at least not well. I believe that choosing her is an expression of the DNC's contempt for its voters. The Machiavellians who run that mafia syndicate believe their voters are so brainwashed they will vote for Kamala simply because she is not Donald Trump.”

I have friends who are the brainwashed voters the Quisling mafia rely on. They’re college educated. They rely solely on the main stream media. Read the NYT. Avoid Fox News. Repeat the talking points of their news sources with no indication of critical thought, not a glimer. The Covid shots were great (they’ve all been vax’d multiple times). Climate change is caused only by fossil fuel combustion. They want to ‘Trust the Experts’. They never consider that the ‘Experts’ may not be honest. Trump/Vance are deplorable. Harris/Walz are at least not Trump/Vance. Who cares what Harris’s policy positions are. It’s amazing. Despite their Climate Change concerns they all travel internationally for vacation. It’s like they exist in the Matrix. When offered the Red/Blue pill they take the Blue one every time. Amazing. I would say this represents about 1/3 of my circle of friends. Thank God for the others.

Chapter 12 of the book WHAT THE NURSES SAW by Ken McCarthy is about following the (Covid) money! Hospitals were paid H U G E bonuses for Covid+ patients, big payouts for following protocols including Remdesivir, and again huge bonuses for placing patients on ventilators. This single chapter is so important to understanding how they pulled the hoax.

Kamala can think. But she can't say what she thinks because "It's an election." She plans to rely on obfuscation and lying because nobody would vote for the things she plans to do. She's the stealth Bernie Sanders; the dems had to ditch him because he openly supported things Americans don't want. Kamala supports those things too, so she talks gibberish and runs out the clock.

All of the ideological rhetoric is empty.

My daughter was one of many at the receiving end of someone who'd suddenly gone woke-virus-crazy. They sent off reams of personal commentary on 'white power' and 'white privilege', but there was never any definition of such, nor practical examples in their everyday life. They seem to be no more than vibe statements to say "I'm a victim and I'm hurting", without ever attaching the statements to observable reality. Still shocked by it.

I have nieces and nephews who did the same. They are highly intelligent, precious and were well loved and well treated as kids. The funniest thing is, they are the very examples of white privilege.

I've been watching commentary lately on the new movie "Am I racist?" (Matt Walsh). Someone came up with a theory that everyone's carrying around amorphous guilt as a consequence of the decline in religious practice - they don't know what to do with it. Dunno.

On this theme, via Matt Walsh in discussion with Shapiro, on training to become "DEI certified", which then allowed him to run DEI classes"

"What I discovered with being a DEI trainer myself is that you're not saying anything.

There's certain buzzwords you have to know, and you just have to keep going back to those buzzwords.

A big one is "decolonise yourself", "decolonise your whiteness".

I still don't know what that - I honest to God - I'm not just saying it - I don't know what that means.

After producing this film for a year and a half, and hearing it a million times, I don't know what it means. I don't.

But it doesn't matter. That's the great thing about it. Just say it.

All you have to do is say to someone "You have to decolonise your whiteness". And if you look serious while you say it, that's it. They're not going to ask you "What do you mean by that?"

Because the other thing we discovered is that - the people you're talking to - they don't want to admit that they don't know what you're saying, because they feel like they should know these terms.

That's one of the tools of the woke trade here is that they use these totally made up terms, and they throw them into conversation, and they know the people listening aren't going to want to ask, like "what does that mean?". Because if you ask that question it means you've already exposed yourself as not like part of the club.

So everyone just sits there and they listen and nod along.

"Decolonise yourself" is a big one.

"Whiteness" is a big one.

"Journey" - we're always going on a journey - we're always on a journey somewhere. It's not about the destination, it's just "You're on the journey".

And you just kind of circle around those themes. Over and over and over again. It never ends."

We had a provincial by election in Ontario Canada earlier this year. I was helping a newer party candidate and attended several debates between candidates. After the first debate the conservative candidate got hammered with hard questions about his party stance and his less than ethical political history. He didn't show up in the future debates. Word was that the conservative party told him to not show up as the election was his to lose because A) the electoral district was prominent conservative and B) He could only make matters worse by opening his mouth. He won the election despite his absence.

"The Machiavellians who run that mafia syndicate believe their voters are so brainwashed they will vote for Kamala simply because she is not Donald Trump."

The Machiavellians are correct. Their base had ZERO problem with their leaders kicking out Joe and having Kamala forced on them. Kamala, who prior to being pumped up by the media, was universally disliked. The DNC and the rest of the blob have proven that they could force anyone on the democrats, shut down their voices completely, and hear nary a peep of complaint. Their followers have been trained to wait for orders re: what their opinions ought to be. The democrat rank and file have absorbed the idea that thinking critically is dangerous.

We need to remember though, the point of life (to them) is feeling good in the moment. Thinking logically and remembering things is hard!! I mean, where's the JOY? Don't we all just want to walk around with our head in the clouds, taking no responsibility and waiting for the money to rain down, while we spout approved catchphrases to each other? There's only one candidate who can provide that kind of blissful utopia.
