"The days of December 1776 were some of America’s darkest times. Thomas Paine epically captured the moment in “The American Crisis.”
“These are the times that try men’s souls,” Paine wrote. “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”
Washington’s army had lost one battle after another. The economy had tanked. And the paper money the United States printed seemed worthless. Americans were abandoning the cause in droves."
good lessons here. are we going to betray what these men did in 1776 or make sure our elections are free, safe and secure from fraud?
"good lessons here. are we going to betray what these men did in 1776 or make sure our elections are free, safe and secure from fraud?"
mcfarm,
Many have already made the choice and you failed to mention it.
3. We are going to make people THINK that elections are NOT free, safe and secure from fraud!
Isn't that what you THINK?
many examples I could give on fraud and bureaucrats changing the rules contrary to what the state legislative bodies rule. Here is a good example. How many registered voters do we have? subtract the Trump voters. Is your total balance not millions more than possible for biden. Why is that even Biden and company are not demanding to know just what the heck happened?
"Election-related lawsuits and similar matters are going to “blow up” after Christmas, President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said this week.
In a self-hosted podcast episode, Giuliani told listeners that there is “considerable movement” in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin towards decertification of the election results amid a growing body of evidence of election fraud.
“So starting after Christmas, this is really going to blow up,” he said. “Because the evidence that all these crooked television networks, newspapers, big tech, and the leadership of the Democratic Party, have been giving you is false. And you’re going to find that out all at once. It’s going to be very shocking to the country.”
The Democratic presidential candidate was certified the winner of the four swing states Giuliani mentioned, though alternate slates of electors cast votes for Trump. Giuliani and Trump’s legal team were working to convince state legislatures to take back the power to appoint electors, but none did so before the votes were cast on Dec. 14. They’re now pushing state lawmakers to decertify the election results, and potentially certify Trump as the winner of the states, citing irregularities including alleged fraud.
“The numbers were wrong. Therefore they must be decertified,” Giuliani added in a podcast episode on Dec. 25.
Decertification would require, in most swing states, support from at least a handful of Democrats, something considered unlikely."
It would be sort of like a mediocre hitter in MLB, predicting to us all season long that he's going to win the batting title(non COVID season)
In May, we all think it's unlikely but it's possible that he could have his best season ever and surprise all the experts....can't rule it out.
By the All Star Break, he's batting .198 and still hasn't let up 1 iota about him winning the batting title and baseball fans are just rolling their eyes.............. but not his personal fans, who still believe in him.
Come September, he's batting .183 and even if he gets a hit every time up to the plate, he won't even bat .250.
At the end of the season, the actual batting champion clocks in at .345 and is recognized for his great season with awards and honors.
Our mediocre hitter ends up at .204 but still claims that he is the American League batting champion. The baseball rules were not right and numerous umpires conspired against him to take away many of his hits.
Absurd analogy?
Well, we can see for ourselves when a baseball player strikes out or is thrown out at first place on a ground ball. So the evidence that this player batted .204 for the season is irrefutable.
With regards to the election, they are employing a commonly used trick that makes it different, to get away with the same tactic that would be impossible in baseball. In the election, we couldn't see every vote cast or verify that rules were followed everywhere or that the machines were not tampered with or were not being controlled by a foreign country or were not using a sneak algorithm to rig the election for Biden to win.
Because of this, they make massive allegations in all those realms, some sounding pretty convincing but since we don't have every vote of every person in front of us, like we do the baseball players performance, it's a believe them or believe the other side situation.
If we support Trump, we WANT to believe it.............and this is where our cognitive bias takes us. Even when almost all the allegations are shown to be bogus(proving the sources of the allegations are the ones perpetrating fraud).
Then, it takes on a life of its own. Enough people believe that there was significant fraud for a long enough time that it becomes an entrenched assumption in their heads.
The side claiming fraud doesn't even have to prove it anymore. Their side KNOWS there was fraud and nothing will ever change that because the side claiming fraud will NEVER, EVER have the position of "OK, it's been X amount of months and we had a reasonable amount of time to show the amount of fraud and we didn't"
Trumps side contending that he lost because of fraud will still have this position in 2 years.
They pretend to be for the truth and think that they are for the truth but they refuse to listen to reasonable evidence of the truth. They only want to believe that their guy lost because of fraud in the election.
There was plenty of fraud going on with Mueller and the impeachment and on MSM story narratives for 4 years but don't confuse that with the election results. The legal votes elected Joe Biden.
The Biden side is shocked that people can be so brainwashed as to believe that Trump won, despite all the evidence showing otherwise.
Funny, because they all believe that we are having a climate crisis, despite all the authentic scientific evidence showing indisputably that we are having a climate OPTIMUM for life on this greening planet.
No smiley face on that last comment.
In the age of information, that is several orders of magnitude more powerful than that of a few decades ago...........that could be used to enlighten and educate us, it's being use to "steal our intelligence".....my term for brainwashing.
We all think that we are getting smarter and we are about most things because information about everything is at our fingertips but we are completely oblivious to massive movements which use this technology to capture our brains............while we receive it as being educated.
Educated............as being indoctrinated into cult like thinking(that is incapable of critical thinking) to have the belief system of the educators!

great baseball analogy Dr MM....but in my world Trump is the 345 hitter and Biden, wow, are you kidding me one year he hit 250? If we analyze his political life and how many times he has been wrong in foreign policy for example he is that 180 hitter. How many times has he run for President? Step back and put that analogy to these two men and tell me who is the 180 hitter for a lifetime of living on the big gov dole and who is the 345 hitter. Of course personality, like or dislike, has no place in the scenario. Ever heard what people said about Ty Cobb?
Maybe not the best analogy but his average was supposed to be how he was doing in the polls.
another analogy that should be out but buried for the global warming end of world peeps. Kansas has averaged 91 tornados/year since 1991. This year Kansas set the all-time low of 17 tornados. Have not looked but many other weather anomalies are way down also I believe.
