Trump Taught Us How to Fight Back

 

For years I’ve listened to and agreed with the diatribes about the feckless Republican party. Republicans were known for being cooperative, reasonable, even polite in their interactions with Democrats. They would also whine and complain endlessly about lying and cheating they faced, but nothing seemed to change.

People have proposed forming a new party to replace the Republicans, but that might not be necessary. We’ve had a four-year seminar on how to fight back against the Democrats and the media, and it may have been ugly, chaotic, and confusing, but the public is finally taking note: You may not like Donald Trump, but he’s a power to be reckoned with.

We’re watching Trump’s feisty and predictable demands for fairness in this election; that every vote be counted, and that fraud and manipulation are the unacceptable strategies of the Democrats in several states. Those kinds of actions are not new, but Trump is finally telling everyone that the Democrats are not going to get away with these tactics. He is calling them out big-time and will fight tooth-and-nail for the voices of the people to be heard.

Naturally, the Democrats are resisting and denying these accusations. I suspect they are also extremely annoyed that the President is not going along with their historic deceptions. This time around he’s not just going to complain; he’s going to take the election mishandling all the way to the Supreme Court.

It’s important to note that he’s not requiring every state to account for their strategies and final counts, only those where results are suspect and that law-breaking has already been witnessed. Keep in mind that he’s not only fighting for his own election.

He’s fighting for justice.

He’s fighting for the people of this country.

He’s fighting for the United States of America.

Let’s hope Republican officeholders are taking notes. It’s time to fight back.

    Just out of curiosity, has The Turtle or any Repub offered any support to Trump over the last few days? I haven’t heard of it.

    CBS radio news at 6:00PST just said, “… voting continues and there have been no reports of voter fraud.”

    Oh yeah. NBC was doing the same thing: “There has been no evidence of voter fraud.” This is outright gaslighting.

    I blame RINOs for the overt election fraud in so many places. Too gentlemanly to brawl over obviously fraudulent ballots, letting bygones be bygones without an unyielding demand for justice before the next election. The perpetrators of the current chaos need to be made uncomfortable forever. Borrow tactics from the left and gather outside their houses and call them out.

    The only time election fraud is vigorously fought is in Democratic primaries.

    There probably needs to be a movement to support, staff, and fund a name-by-name review of voter rolls everywhere and identify every suspect or fraudulent vote and the person(s) responsible, kind of a Veritas/Judicial Watch at a grassroots level. to reduce future fraud and put asterisks on elections that need them.

    CBS radio news at 6:00PST just said, “… voting continues and there have been no reports of voter fraud.”

    Quite arguably, Trump’s greatest legacy is exposing the media for the useless partisans they are. When they lie, they are the enemy of the people.

    Yes, this is what I most like about Trump, he fights.  He’s not a pushover, either against the Democrats or more importantly against the media.  He stands up and gives it back to them, and no matter how much abuse he takes in the press or by the elitist it bounces off his back.  I have wished sometimes he could be more civil in how he fights, but maybe there is no civil way to fight back.  I’m glad he got elected four years ago.  I’m thankful for these four years.  I hope he can pull it out again.  As I said on a post I just put up, he was guided by angels four years ago.  I hope he is guided by angels again.

    Trump just showed Republicans how to lose to a senile old man named Joe Biden.

    The sooner Republicans realize that Trump is a loser the better off they will be.

    The voters of 2020 were perfectly willing to re-elect Republicans. Even Susan Collins was able to win re-election in Maine while Trump lost Maine decisively.

    Trump is a loser. Republicans need to wake up and realize this.

    You’re repeating this here too?  Oh give it up.  No one wants to hear your talking points.

    I think that’s a bit much. But Trump will say to the media, you are biased liars. He is right.

    No other President would have touched Critical Race Theory.

    I think that Cotton, Cruz, and Hawley would have, but that’s about it.

    Half the country believes in or is willing to tolerate an inverse, Orwellian version of the 1920s KKK ideology, not to mention endemic riots and looting at the drop of a hat , and most Republicans among the political and donor class either hid or attempted to appease them.  

    I shudder to think what would have happened without a few brave souls like them, and Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, when the hysteria was at its peak.

    I’m sure this is a cynical empty gesture on his part, but I’m willing to take it.  Four years of cynical, empty gestures like this are at least enough to prevent media, corporate, and tech collusion (with the eager help of the more overtly squishy Republicans) from completely burying everything.

    Brought to you by Trump University? We have 4 years of how not to govern, or behave, as president. As an elected president, the job is not to fight democrats.

    “…and it may have been ugly, chaotic, and confusing…”

    And that is being very generous.

    No matter how you feel about Trump, there’s no denying that fraud and manipulation of ballots is going on. I would hope that NeverTrumpers would agree that finding out what is happening, stopping it and holding people accountable would be important for this nation. Unless you prefer to put all your passion into hating Trump.

    Let’s all be crooked and support Trump in his Saddam Hussain like attempt to stop ballot counting in states where he is leading while continuing the ballot counting in states where he is behind.

    Let’s follow Trump’s lead and reject honesty and integrity.

    Only delusional Trumpers are saying things like this. So yah I deny that fraud and manipulation of ballots is going on in PA, GA, AZ, and NV. In fact doesn’t Georgia have a Republican Governor, doesn’t Arizona too? Your telling me that the guy who beat Stacy Abrams is manipulating the count in Georgia to put Biden up  ahead of Trump? OR that he is just letting it happen because he was some deep Hydra style operative of the Deep State all along? 

    Do you hear how stupid and paranoid you lot sound? 

    But, you know what, I don’t care. I had no hope that Trumpers would be anything other than irrational because that is what you have been this whole time. So yah. Good, we stole the vote from Trump. We are just that awesome, and there is nothing you can do about it. I don’t even deny it. I was there in Michigan stuffing ballots with Biden written on them in large purple crayon, and saw as George Soros himself typed in the made up votes into the computer.

    You won’t read this, but you should.

    I’ve been trying to keep up with the firehose of information about what’s going on during this cluster[REDACTED] of an election. Last night I was on Facebook talking about the crazy high, 3rd world dictatorship level voter turnout levels in the deep blue areas of these swing states was very suspicious. Somebody gas lighted me about how “I’d have to do better than that”, so this was my quick reply, listing off the questionable b******t I could think of off the top of my head:

    The massive turn out alone is a red flag.

    But as for doing better…

    The late night spikes that were enough to close all the Trump leads are a red flag.

    The statistically impossible breakdown of the ratios of these vote dumps is a red flag.

    The ratios of these dumps being far better than the percentages in the bluest of blue cities, even though the historical data does not match, red flag.

    The ratios of these vote dumps favoring Biden more in these few battlegrounds than the ratio for the rest of the country (even the bluest of the blue) red flag.

    Biden outperforming Obama among these few urban vote dumps, even though Trump picked up points in every demographic group in the rest of the country, red flag.

    The poll observers being removed. Red flag.

    The counters cheering as GOP observers are removed, red flag.

    The fact that the dem observers outnumber the GOP observers 3 to 1, red flag (and basis of the first lawsuit filed)

    The electioneering at the polls (on video), red flag.

    The willful violation of the court order requiring the separation of ballots by type, red flag.

    USPS whistleblower reporting to the Inspector General that today they were ordered to backdate ballots to yesterday, red flag.

    The video of 2 AM deliveries of what appear to be boxes of ballots with no chain of custody or other observers right before the late night miracle spikes, red flag.

    Any of those things would be enough to trigger an audit in the normal world. This many flags and I’d be giggling in anticipation of catching some thieves.

    And it isn’t that I have to do better. I’m just an gen pop observer who happens to be a retired auditor with a finely tuned b******t detector. This is going to the courts.

    But no, the Biden-lickers tell us . . . all of this is normal.

    Ricochet’s Biden-lickers are throwing their already sorry reputations into a pile and lighting them on fire.

    Or perhaps he’s simply fighting for Donald Trump?

    After four years, I’m still not sure what to make of the guy. I generally like his policies, however, and he’s often entertaining. It’s enough, for me, in a politician.

     

    IF he was only for Donald Trump, he could have spent the last 5 years on a beach in the Bahamas, and not have his brand tarnished, his assets under attack and his fortune/legacy badly dented.

    He’s given the republicans a blueprint. Dont be the ‘noble loser’ – republicans cant depend on a newspaper’s ‘fair commentary’ policies or fact checking to defend them against unfair and unfounded attacks, nor can they depend on the punditry class to come to his defense. I cant imagine a single other person in the world the media would have published these terrible stories about.  Lawsuits should have been filed over it – sure he’s unlikely to win – but he can eat the newspapers alive in legal fees. Particularly when their revenues where down. (he could’ve also pulled their credentials – not just from the white house – but from every federal agency)

    Perhaps Ted Cruz has learned enough from him to be successful in 2024. If Trump is re-elected (by hook, crook or sneak) the Trump Derangement Syndrome will be turned up to ? 11 million? The left will be so off the hook crazy by 2024 that Bernie will be the right wing moderate wing…

    The standard GOPe losers are already trying to grab the controls. I cast my first vote for a Republican president since 2000. Never voted Demo-rat, but rather Constitution Party or Libertarian. At my age, I doubt I’ll ever see another Republican worth voting for. Those I’d vote for won’t get past the primary phase.

    There is plenty of fraud in the system.  In a certain way it is inevitable.  Democrats like the Secretary of State in PA have added speculation to that because of their actions and statements.  In the final analysis it is unlikely that there will be enough provable fraud to keep Biden from becoming president.  We should not however pretend it doesn’t happen and that it can’t have an effect on an election.   I would urge people to start thinking about how to prevent this in 4 years.  It appears that we still have a shot at saving the Senate, which means we may be down but not out of the fight. We are going to need to figure out how to rebuild and how to overcome the marginal corruption and fraud in big largely blue cities.
