> hypernaiive about how the world works. They think in terms of ideals that sound nice but have no basis in reality Thats how the state gets them out of reality and out of their minds in the first place. The future is an abstraction, like the ideals they uphold. So the back-of-the-brain thinking is "well of course it naive, but ONE DAY, it COULD be true, if we make it." It's just laundered utopianism. And you get mind-wash people without first getting them to ignore reality and focus on something besides it. > breath taking incompetence of the left that runs everything. I don't really see the incompetence. In fact I think they are moderately competent as a whole. Mostly I think they have a lot of advantage and moment from the come-behind strategy starting in the 1910s. Thats a lot of momentum, but I don't mean to blackpill. The strategy really only accelerated in the 1960s. You can guess why. The big one was having infinite immigration, on the ruse of "GDP", to act as their crime rings, killers, buffers, go betweens, couriers, and other services and blackbudget money makers. And because they weren't citizens, if they didn't cooperate, the state could always disappear them and and no one would care when the state claims they "went back to their home country." > mid terms look better and better for the GOP, not because the GOP has managed to push out the dead wood ( I think the GOP is roughly halfway to irrelevance at this point. They're hanging on by a thread in terms of whether the right decides to reject them outright, and I think this sentiment, though not far reaching, is sufficient enough that it risks real contagion. When its this dark for a political side, when any side is this demoralized, one wrong move risks showing the general public that the entire thing is a conjob. And that sort of anger creates physical hazards. Don't just believe me, look at what happened on the left when bernie was cheated (and thank god he was, but I digress. Small miracles). The violence we see from the left isn't simply brownshirts, thats what happens when a faction becomes absolutely demoralized and ceases believing they are represented or have any chance at representation or a voice in the political process. Worse, I think the effect of the "election audits" narrative, when it fails, will NOT be to rob the right of any last hope. I think what it will do is to enrage us in a way that risks backlash. You can't give people hope and then take it away when they drew their lines in the sand and wrote on them "at least we have election audits. if that fails, all bets are off." Thats whats happening right now, and the hucksters in the GOP, and their bosses in the DNC, don't even realize they've fucked it up that bad. The election audit narrative failing, I can actually see that as possibly kicking off conflict from some on the right *even before* the jab and mask mandates issue does (if I've gauged the public accurately). I would *very* carefully tip toe around that landmine if I were the state, and wind that down with the tactical caution of an open heart surgeon. I don't think of course the media has sufficient skill or competence in *that* regard to restrain themselves, nor the left from gloating, and so, for those hoping to just get america over with, this is probably the best narrative to amplify. > As you said, they are overplaying their cards by such a large margin, this is SOLIDIFYING so many ideas in our peoples minds forever that there is no turning back now. I've considered this, and its a plausible narrative, but thats like negotiating with a crocodile, and hoping he eats you last. I don't mean it as an insult when I say it's wishful thinking.
