On election night 2016 CTH shared a message about media operations, polling and the intentional effort to manipulate the psyche of the American electorate to achieve their objective {Go Deep}:
THE MEDIA DIDN’T GET IT WRONG – The pollsters did not work from the wrong data set; the media pollsters, consultants and professional political class did not work from the wrong assumptions, or use the incorrect baselines….. THEY LIED.
A week before the 2016 election we broke away from spending energy on deconstructing polls; the reason was simple – the data was nothing more than manipulation intended to sway the American electorate. The difference between Pravda and the U.S. Media is that former citizens of the Soviet-era knew they were being lied to, many Americans do not.
This time in 2020 the media effort will intensify. A clear example of that has showcased in the past week as national post-convention polling was hidden completely because it did not support the psychological message of the control agents. It takes longer to generate manipulated polls; that’s why there was a delay, and the results now being broadcast are simply following a very predictable pattern.
Right now, at this very moment, President Trump is well positioned to win in 2020. The overall sense of the electorate, based on defined data patterns, is in our favor. If it were not, CTH is brutally honest enough to call the baby ugly. The same patterns visible in 2016 are even better at this moment. This could change, but right now things are solid.
Those who voted for President Trump in 2016 remain strong, and our candidate has increased the MAGA movement by focusing on deliberate common sense and pragmatic ‘optimal solutions‘ policy.
In my travels to the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and Western states those indicators are as strong as ever; and keep in mind I intentionally cross into non-traditional (enemy) territory in order to gauge the strength of the opposition. If something shifts I will let you know, but right now there is room for cautious optimism.
However, that doesn’t mean to relax. We must ask for every vote. We must engage with every voter. We must reach out to our friends and neighbors and, importantly, we must break out of our comfort zone and engage everywhere. YOU must be the force multiplier.
Our opposition message is weak, filled with negative energy and shallow. However, they are also well organized and their allies control the messaging mechanisms. Those elements are rabid, focused and intense; and they must not be downplayed because despite their tribal deficit they are willing to fight, scheme, lie and cheat to achieve their objective.
The difference in this election will be you.
Your engagement will be what makes the difference this time.
If you worked hard in 2016 you are going to be asked to work even harder, thanklessly, in 2020. If you registered a handful of voters in 2016, now you need to register twice that many so that we can offset the fraud. This is why it is important to increase your own personal influence by staying positive and upbeat.
A joyful crowd sharing fellowship while eating pizza from a box on the tailgate of a pick-up truck is more effective than a stuffy cocktail party fraught with high-minded pontification and worry. Engage with joy and purpose… this is how we expand our tribe; the American spirit will win every time.
No entity has ever won a contest of significance by downplaying the fortitude of our nation. We rally to the standard when we know the importance. So share the message of importance right now; and, if needed, get comfortable about being uncomfortable while doing it. We need everyone in this fight.
If you find yourself worried – take action. Taking action is empowering because it carries a cascading sense of purpose. Pick up some voter registration forms and keep them in your car or purse. Carry extra pens and be prepared when the opportunity presents itself to you. Talk to as many people about what they can do and share the actions they can take by showing the actions that your are taking.
Don’t leave anything on the table and carry no regrets. Our united MAGA message and ‘America First’ policies are American; they benefit every group and create abundance. The opposition message is filled with division, fear and scarcity. We have the better message.
Fear is at the core of leftism, and love/trust is at the core of conservatism. Leftism is about control. Conservatism is about self-empowerment.
Control is a reaction to fear. Think in terms of politics and society – the fear behind leftist ideology is a fear that someone might withhold things (opportunities, money, whatever) from me. Fear that if you live your life in a way I dislike that it might affect my life; fear that if you get that job there will be nothing left for me. Fear that if you make tons of money it means there’s less money out there for me.
So people who believe in leftist ideologies seek control as a means of trying to create guarantees and safeguards against those circumstances they fear. Progressives try to control the world and people to enable their comfort and happiness; which, as we know, is an endless quest. Trying to control others does nothing in the way of making oneself happy. By extension, voting in this mindset so that government can try to control others will also – shockingly – not lead to a happier, more comfortable life.
The conservative (and moderate, independent, but for the sake of expediency, the conservative), on the other hand, relies on herself to meet her own needs. And the trade off of being free to live her life as she wishes is also understanding that she has to make peace with how you live yours.
By extension, aware that she wants to be able to hold onto this liberty and freedom forever, the conservative votes accordingly, so that everyone can remain free and in charge of his or her own life.
But here’s the crucial difference, perhaps, particularly where misery on the left stems: The conservative does not worry, so to speak, about you. The conservative knows that you were born with the same access to self-love, self-empowerment, self-determination and self-reliance that we all were, no matter the circumstances into which you were born. (Think about the millions of people this country has allowed to crawl up from poverty into prosperity – the conservative KNOWS this is possible.) And the conservative believes that if you want prosperity, or a good job, or a good education, you can make it happen – but you have to work hard.
The conservative hopes and intends that the free markets bring you all of the affordable and positive opportunities and resources that you need. The conservative also knows that on the other side of that hard work is great reward – material and, more importantly, emotional, spiritual and mental security.
The conservative understands it is not only a waste of time to try to control you, it’s actually impossible. Humans were born to be free; and if we put a roadblock in front of you, you’ll find another way around it. So we see attempts at control as a waste of resources, energy and time at best, and at worst, creating detrimental results that serve to hinder people’s upward mobility or teach dependence. We see much more efficiency, as well as endless opportunity, in leaving you to your own devices. And we want the same in return.
This is where leftists mis-view conservatives as heartless. But really, the conservative believes that there is one and one path only to sustainable success and independence – and that is self-empowerment. All other avenues – welfare, affirmative action, housing loans you can’t actually afford – ultimately risk doing a disservice to people as they teach dependence on special circumstances, the govt, or arbitrary assistance (that can disappear tomorrow). And the real danger – they will ALWAYS backfire, and leave the recipient in equally or more dire circumstances. Any false improvement will always expire.
The conservative believes in abundance. The leftist believes in scarcity.
The conservative believes man is born free and will be who he is, no matter what arbitrary limitations or rules are put on him. The progressive believes man is perfectible, and by extension, believes a society at large is perfectible, and command and control is justified in the quest to a “perfect” utopian society. (Sounds familiar!)
The conservative tends to be more faithful – and not necessarily in God, but in the ability of the individual to find great strength in himself (or from his God) to get what he needs and to be successful.
Therefore the conservative has an outlet for his fear and disappointment – trust and faith in something bigger. The leftist believes the system must be perfected in order to enable success. Therefore disappointment is channeled as anger and blame at the system. Voids are left to be filled by faith in govt, which they surely then want to come in and “fix” things.
And therein lie the roots of love and fear respectively. For the conservative, when life presents great struggles, he knows he has the power to surmount them. Happiness stems from internal strength and perseverance. For the leftist, when life presents great struggles the system failed, therefore they were at the mercy of a faulty system, and they believe that only when the system is fixed can their life improve. Happiness is built on systemic contingencies, which they will then seek to control or expect someone else to.
One blames himself. The other blames anyone and everyone but himself.
And there it is. There’s where the meanness comes from. The leftist ideology causes that person to cast anger at the world when things go wrong or appear “unfair.” He constantly chooses only to see the “injustices” – and that makes for a very miserable, mean, blame-casting existence.
One last point that we have seen over and over and over with many (not all) of our liberal friends: Extreme stinginess and cheapness.
In our conservative community growing up, we were always taught that you give when people are in need – make donations to the Red Cross when there’s an earthquake, donate to charity when you can afford it, etc. Even if it’s just $50 here and there – it’s the right thing to do. Conservatives see this as the responsibility that comes with gaining from the capitalistic system; if you happen to benefit greatly from the system, it’s your duty to give back.
The leftist, on the other hand, does not seem to share this same viewpoint, at least not in my experience. And perhaps think this is linked to believing in scarcity, and that your dollar comes at the cost of mine.
So it seems that leftists, on some level of consciousness, feel guilty about not being voluntarily charitable. Therefore, to write off their guilt, they outsource their “generosity” to the government by voting for wealth re-distributive policies. Thus, the progressive cheats himself of the joy and addictiveness of direct generosity. (Not to mention redistributive policies ALWAYS end up dis-empowering those who they’re meant to help.)
We understand the opposition; we understand their ideology; we understand their purpose and intent; now it is up to each of us as an individual to carry the alternative arguments into their space and engage…
For what it’s worth – I live in Los Angeles County, CA. I have never seen a Biden bumper sticker or a Biden sign yet.
I am traveling less due to the fake pandemic, but I was driving to work one or two days a week and saw none.
I wear my Trump 2020 face mask whenever I go shopping, as all businesses and govt buildings required marxist facemasks. I also wore it to work the last few times I had to show up in person.
If the corporation can support BLM marxists, why can’t I support the president of the USA at work?
You are awesome.
I live in the Scranton area, and I have seen a lot of Biden signs. I keep seeing posters talk about lack of Biden signs and, while I agree it is not like the Obama and Hillary signs, I still see a lot. And given his seeming dementia, he probably has hidden support as well.
Unless Biden falls apart on the public stage — if he even gets out of his basement — he will be formidable.
And certainly I am seeing Biden ad after Biden ad here in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Lose the fear. If Biden is formidable, I’m Batman. It wouldn’t be close at all if the dims didn’t cheat, but we know they will as much as they are allowed.
Formidable or not, we can’t think its in the bag and become apathetic again
very true. and imo support for trump can be found across the ideological spectrum. each time i voted for trump (anticipating this november) the person i voted for previously for president (in the florida primary) was bernie sanders. trump represents reform that is far more than conservative reform. he is the best, most effective opponent of the criminal factions (optimistic take) in the fbi and the cia ever. jfk was dead at this point in his presidency. trump’s one state solution for israel palestine is the only realistic solution for that seemingly endless bloodletting. trump is the first president in this century not to have started a yinon war, and the deep state/neocons pressed him hard to attack iran.
trump is vastly different from the bushes, from mccain and romney. that is why he has spent his presidency thus far defending it from attacks from all fronts, republican included (see the senate select committee on intelligence for details).
Apathy kills the golden goose as easily as rebellion. It’s what cost us in 2018. I agree with your sentiment.
I drive a lot have never seen a Biden sign -not one. I have seen Trump signs but mostly no signs. And I am in a swing state.
Take heart. Sounds like you are in a blue bubble. I have relatives in Pa. and they are big Trump supporters.
I’ve seen a few bumper stickers here in Texas, but it is mainly older people that drive 20-25 mph under the speed limit on the highway and look just as slow as Joe… I was thinking about making a police report, but figured they were just lost or confused like slow Joe and would think that the police were there to harm them.
Careful, that might have been me you were about to report. ? I’m an old and slow Texan but today I drew a crowd of three twenty-somethings around me at the hair salon. I preached a sermon about Trump, voting, registering, etc. The hair salon owner had a huge Trump sign put up on the building and the building owner made him remove it. That got the discussion going. The sign removal probably earned us some votes today in Texas.
Scranton sounds like a really sh!tty place to call home.
Do you have your signs for Trump on display yet? I went to the local Repug headquarters and picked up a couple for my yard. It seems ridiculous to have to litter my property with political posters. I am doing it because, when the fraudulent votes start getting brought in after the election, the Democraps will be claiming these are the votes that the TV network pollsters were expecting in all of the polls they took.
Same here in Southeastern PA. Philly and its immediate western suburbs are of course Dem country, and I had seen barely any Biden signs outside of the city until the last few weeks. But they sprung up almost overnight.
The good news is that the exact opposite is the case in my childhood stomping grounds in Pennsyltucky. Overwhelmingly Trump…and they are all very very angry.
I count American flags on or in front of houses as Trump signs.
Yes, In CA it is dangerous to put up a Trump sign or flag. I am pretty sure that the more than normal number of American flags flying in my neighborhood are a sign of support for PDJT.
That reminds me, I need to order a made-in-America US flag.
I just ordered my USA made American flag.
I’m in WA State and I have not seen a single Biden sign.
I’m in WA State and I have not seen a single Biden sign.
Nepanyrush, I don’t find it surprising that you’re seeing a lot of signs there. Remember, Biden continuously touts the Scranton area as being where his roots are. If the Dems didn’t put out a strong showing there, that’s when I’d be surprised. I’m sure there is the “local boy becomes president” bloc of voters there as well, so that’s also going to contribute to it. I’d be interested to see if the number of signs for him is the same down in Wilkes-Barre.
How large is the gov’t sector in Scranton?
Paid unionists putting up yard signs as a ‘false’ show of support maybe?
That I don’t know for sure. I’ve been there many times (I’m in NY, about an hour away) and it is a sizeable place, about 75-80,000 people so it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a proportionate government sector there. President Trump lost the county Scranton is in (Lackawanna) but it was close. He only lost by 3,600 and there were over 103K votes cast.
Compare that to 2012, where with just 98K votes cast Obama won the place by over 28,000 votes.
Given how close the president made it last time, how much of a gap he closed between 2012 and 2016 and Biden’s “roots” nonsense I fully expect the Scranton area to be a minor bellwether indicator this time.
It also looks like Lackawanna county cleaned up their voter rolls because there were 91,000 Dems there in 2016, now only 84,000. There’s also been a sizeable number of people switched from D to R, around 1700 this year alone.
Hahaha probably way more of an answer than you needed or wanted but I can’t help myself. I love digging into this kind of stuff.
Nepanyrush,
A friend of mine (he lives in western Kentucky) posted on Facebook:
Sunday we drove from Beech Creek to Bremen and counted signs. There were 49 Trump signs, 1 Biden sign, and 11 fresh corn signs. Fresh corn has a much better chance of winning the election than Biden.
This person was fired for wearing a PDJT 2020 hat to and from his vehicle, etc. at Newport News shipbuilding:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailypress.com/news/dp-nw-trump-hat-shipyard-20200902-2sfrced3kbcpbdi27vqnnk7fia-story.html%3foutputType=amp
Yes, I realize that I could have lost my job, but I was leaving the company in a few weeks, so I took the risk.
I love your attitude!
I live in Oakland County MI right next to Macomb county which is populated by the famous “Reagan Democrats”. In my neighborhood I have about 20 Trump signs and flags while I have seen about 5 Biden signs. There is a deep antipathy towards Trump because of his mannerisms. I am volunteering this weekend to go door to door for Trump as a happy warrior. I am preparing a series of questions where I use reverse psychology on people who support Biden such as:
If you support Biden you are in favor of unlimited illegal immigration and free healthcare for them. You know that right?
If you support Biden then you support China stealing technology from US companies because he does. You know that right?
Once it is polished up I will share for all of the Treepers. Until then, be happy and live your best life. Be joyful.
His mannerisms ? His anti PC mannerisms are one of the best things about him .
The chinese paid a heck of a lot of money to the hidin’ biden’s, one should expect they would want a SIGNIFICANT return on that ‘investment.’
Treepers: “THE MEDIA DIDN’T GET IT WRONG – The pollsters did not work from the wrong data set; the media pollsters, consultants and professional political class did not work from the wrong assumptions, or use the incorrect baselines….. THEY LIED.”
This is called ‘PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT’ and it is BIG business!
The Fox Poll is like today’s DOW 800 point drop. It is paid for but short lived.
I’ve been in the stock market since 1976. It does nor move consistently with the economy at large. Everything is overvalued. I think we’re headed for some short term pain. Better to bleed it out now, 60 days from the election, and be on the upswing heading into November. I assume POTUS’s advisors will tell him to stop touting Wall St. as a proxy for Main St. I’m completely comfortable with the idea my investments could lose 20/30% over the next year or two, and be fine in the long run. Digging out of this Democrat lockdown ditch will not be easy. But what’s the alternative?
At the end of every presser Trump should ask, “What will happen to your retirement if Biden is elected President”? Also, “What will happen to your income tax if Biden is elected President”?
A lot of Libtards watch pressers because the like to hear the “Gotcha” questions. No matter what you are, these two questions make you personally think about yourself.
I’d instead suggest calling it ‘401K’ and ‘yearly taxes’ at each presser.
Play to the younger ones…
There are a lot of 30-ish millennials who now have work savings plans and fledgling families.
And loans/expenses that matter more than they did 5 years ago.
The total tax load (state taxes and property taxes included) hits hard.
And the exodus from city living to smaller communities is now in full gear.
Sundance this is a great explanation of the lefties perspective.They want the system to fix things, we want practical solutions ;not more rules and restrictions. Maybe part of our cold anger and frustration is that we too want the system to fix things.A broken corrupt system , constructed for the benefit of those with the levers of power, not for the American
People is not going to be able to fix itself! What can we do about that?
The amazing thing is that our VSG has accomplished all that he has!
We must focus on the house and senate.
Also the fact that Americans don’t know they are being lied too. I have an adult leftist daughter in my house. Not only doesn’t know she’s being lied to; more than that she can not allow the thought of being wrong. There is no allowance for human fallibility or forgiveness. For herself or others.Teach ability is long gone, thus they are stuck in their immaturity and lack of personal growth. My cheerfulness makes her angry. In college she asked me to stop haunting her with my prayers. I did not comply. I persevere.
Good for you Ifitwerenotso. We must NEVER stop praying for our loved ones and friends!
Ifitwerenotso… I, too, have a lefist daughter who fits the description of yours. Keep praying!
OMG , you have a daughter who identifies as libtard ? That’s awful , i couldn’t handle that , that would just not work for me at all . I would have to get rid of her somehow.
Good luck my friend and realize she can fly off the handle and cause you serious injury or even death for no other reason than complementing Trump about something.
TRUMP does not say things lightly…he understands the game of ‘expectations’. If he says we are leading ‘Big’ then we are leading REALLY BIG.
Amén ! May God hear our prayer for mercy and real justice . I believe so many of our schools , churches and media have been the vectors of antichristian and anti God ideology , which is pure Marxism , that we have to view these college kids as what they are : lost and misguided souls. I pray that the truly guilty elites will face the real justice that is coming to them sooner rather than later . I am optimistic that if the Good Lord put our PDJT here at this time in history it is for a reason . We are witnesses and we are intercessors with Him , to show the face of a nation willing to repent of its evil ways . May we be worthy of the task given to us !
Of course we are leading big , nobody ever votes libtard on purpose.
Outstanding point. Other than a teeny lunatic fringe, the rest of them think they’re voting to sing Kumbaya while hiking through a national park.
In addition to attempting to steal the presidential election, the Democrats will also attempt to steal every House and Senate seat that is in close play. Moreover, the Democrats will refuse to concede every House and Senate election they lose, regardless of the margin — not just the presidential election if, in spite of massive vote fraud, they still manage to lose that one.
Their objective is to discredit the outcome of the 2020 election by any means necessary — legally using lawfare tactics in the courts; but just as importantly, as a propaganda coup in the court of public opinion.
What if through a combination of massive vote fraud and post-election legal challenges, the Democrats control both the House and the Senate in early January 2021 — but Trump’s margin of victory on November 3rd, 2020, was still so large that even vote fraud and the inevitable post-election court challenges couldn’t succeed in reversing it?
Here is a related question assuming this becomes the situation in early January, 2021: Is it possible that a Democrat-controlled Congress could refuse to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election?
They might claim that a combination of massive vote fraud plus blatant voter disenfranchisement had occurred and that it was impossible to determine who was the actual winner. The Congress might then vote strictly along party lines to throw the election into the House of Representatives.
BW,
Its my understanding that the 2020 “lame duck” House is supposed to certify the Presidential election results, in mid December.
Thats why Gore conceded on Dec. 13; because the House needed to certify the results on Dec. 14th.
They have layers of delay. First, each Sec of State has to certify the results of their States vote, to the electoral College.
THEN, the Electoral College assigns electors, based on those certified tallies, the electors vote, and convey the certified results to the House.
So, Dem State Sec of States can delay, in addition to court challenges. If the EC doesn’t have certified tallys, they can’t assign electors, and the House, Nanzi’s OLD House, votes for who is President, and the Senate votes for who is VEEP.
Or so I understand,….
The danger for the Dem-rats to this approach is that, yes, the House decides, but the simple majority vote is by state, with each state having one vote (Twelfth Amendment). There are more red states than blue states. Now, a quorum of 2/3 of the states must be present for that vote, so, theoretically, enough blue/RINO states could walk out and prevent the vote. But, arguably, if they do THAT, and carry their nonsense past 3 January, there would BE NO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES and only2/3 of the Senate left. Remember: the 3 November election is for the whole House and 1/3 of the Senate as well as the presidency, and Congress creatures are sworn in on that date, so if they screw up the 3 November presidential election, they screw up their own. Plus, while the House dithers, the Senate could vote Pence in as vice-president and solve it that way. In other circumstances, the order of succession is: President, vice-president, speaker of the House, president pro tempore of the Senate, and Secretary of State. Mitch is up for re-election this year, so he would be ineligible past 3 Jan. Therefore, if both House and Senate throw tantrums, Pompeo would become president. Dem-rats could choose to create a mess, but it wouldn’t be a “Constitutional crisis.” Simpler solution: Red states certify more than 270 electoral votes by the mid-December deadline. The argument would be moot.
Also the Sergeant at Arms of the Congress can go out and “compel” representatives to be present. Also I believe that the people other than the most die hard anarchists will not want this foolishness.
But the uni-state will do anything to thwart Trump. But if Trump wins by a thumping majority it will all be moot. Vote and be involved.
Given the overwhelming success of all the nefarious schemes they have tried so far,.. (/ major sarc) I don’t see this scheme working any better than any of the others.
The second part of this is for them to TRY to use it to ‘de-legitimise’ his reelection and Presidency, for his second term.
Admittedly, they are Terrorist; 99 plans can fail, they only have to succeed once,…but I just don’t see this plan as having any hope of success.
Nobody likes a sore loser, and THATS what they are going to come across as.
On the bright side, they detirmined, early on that they couldn’t do like they did with Reagan, and simply wait him out.
So, THEY think the Swamp can’t survive 8 years of PDJT in the White House,..which is why they are thrashing around so desperately.
Lets hope they’re right.
Just think if everyone who voted for President Trump in 2016 just got one other NEW person to vote for him, we would win in a landslide. Switch a Dem. voter to Rep. is like 2 votes. One they lost and one we picked up. Esp. do this in the swing states. The people in the swing states(you know who you are) must work twice as hard. Do this and their cheating won’t matter.
I told you guys earlier about the guy I met door knocking who did not care to vote in 2016 no matter how hard I tried to convince him. He put a Trump flag in his yard a month ago.
Today I passed by the house of a politically independent neighbor who voted for Obama in 2008 and 2013 (although not so happy with Obama in 2012).
He was undecided in early 2016….and about a month before the election he put a Trump sign in his yard. He just put out a huge Trump flag on a flagpole with the US flag today!
???????????????????????????
First, Sundance, you’re too kind to leftists, as the LEFT elite are actually Evil. Also, you’re too kind to most ‘conservatives’ with you, and now others being exceptions. ‘Conservatives’ lack fight, and have become Leftists Lite changing their worldviews to Liberal views of a decade or so earlier. They’re constantly, and easily manipulated to give ground. Very few traditional roles have any meaning, and many of the so-called Christian religion groups constantly importing foreigners for money, taking a knee to total BS social ideas, with the leaders and preachers involved in all sorts of hideous activities that allow blackmail by Leftists.
I’m not trying to Black-Pill, but it’s bad, and conservatives are weak. What happened to the Tea Party wasn’t happenstance, it was inevitable. Infiltration, blackmail, and bribes, along with not vetting people on your side thoroughly, creates obvious results. Hey, you don’t even know who is on your side.
I will say, Trump is a very smart, very good man, and along with his allies will turn this back for a bit this time. You people need to get smarter though. All this stuff, from the the forced ‘critical race theory’ to all the forms of trained-in Marxism have to end. Whether in the schools, or in the corporations, push all of this out, forever. Make it criminal to teach it, or promote it in any way, and re-institute heresy laws that are still on the books. Freedom of speech is a false god used by Marxist to stomp on the flag, and put crosses in piss bottles. They never give YOU freedom of speech, so reverse it, and make Marxist preaching and other blasphemy illegal. It’s the only way to get rid of them for several life times.
Naw, you won’t do it, you will keep getting manipulated Left. PROVE ME WRONG, PLEASE.
No proof by IMHO many who vote for democrats are not evil rather idealists, gullible and low info voters.
I too worry about the House and Senate, maybe more than the Presidency. I think about all the hundreds of bills the House has passed that are “resting” on Mitch McConnell’s desk that the Senate did/would not take up. If memory doesn’t fail me, some of those bills would be absolutely devastating for Americans. Think Pelosi and Co would not revive those bills? Especially if they control the Senate. I shudder to think of the results.
Early in my career, I was a social worker. I started out with a “help them” mentality like everyone else. One day I was working on a group project and I suddenly realized that “helping them” was really a lack of confidence in “helping me”. I could create then and those who oppress them as a way to assign blame, rather than shouldering my responsibility myself.
I immediately changed the way I approached my job and tried to get my “clients” to start taking baby steps toward self reliance. I started a GED program and had 4 of my clients sign up.
It wasn’t long before the school board let me know they didn’t like me starting an unauthorized GED program. I also started to realize how the government programs trapped these women on welfare. If they got a job, their welfare check would be cut, they might not be eligible for same level of food stamps. they had to arrange child care. and if they did really good in a job, they might lose their medicaid. It just wasn’t worth it for a few extra dollars a month.
I tell that story to explain who Democrats are.
. Those trapped in poverty by a government that rewards bad behavior.
. People who identify as victims. Typically have low self esteem, so cling to a group identified with victimhood.
. Do Gooders. People who believe that victimhood is caused by racism, capitalism, etc.
. Democrat elites who need poor people and “victims” to stay in power.
I keep hoping that President Trump will do a drive thru vote and Covid test combo. Show your ID and insurance card, get your test (either for the disease or the antibodies). Hey, by then the vaccine will be ready. How about calling it V-Day. Vote and vaccinate!! Won’t that be something!! Personally, I just plan to vote. In person, of course. Checking on my family members who have died in the last decade to be sure that they aren’t still on the roll and certainly to be sure that they didn’t vote!!!!!
That is a very poor idea.
There is zero need for a dangerous, untested vaccine, which will kill many people (all vaccines end up killing some of the people that get immunizations).
The USA has already achieved herd immunity. The pandemic has been over for months.
HCQ (or querticin) + zinc is a highly effective, safe treatment when given early or as a prophylactic.

I watch Trump in North Carolina speaking to crowds at the airport he has a ton of security all over the place. I’m so glad because I wouldn’t put anything past what Soros or any of types would do. Trump is extremely popular the true America loves him.
I watched the hoo-rah at the airport, and was struck by the way the Secret Service people looked like 9-tailed cats in a rocking chair factory. Those cats definitely were not happy with that set-up!
Glad there were no “incidents”. Felt sorry for the idjit that tossed his hat over the fence thinking he might get an autograph, and instead got it kicked away. I guess dumb doesn’t respect political parties…..
May God guide and protect the Secret Service that guard President Donald J. Trump and his family.
Amen.
The thing we all need to be ready for is something that flows from an “update” to its terms of service which Facebook sent to everyone as a message this week. It is being updated that they will remove content and users who violate their terms of service. That’s not necessarily anything new. What is new is that they are TELEGRAPHING their intent to interfere in the election by preventing Conservative voters and Trump voters from communicating with each other. They’re going to spike posts and users. They’re going to ban people. They’re going to flag everything as “false”.
Back in 2016, the thing that killed Hillary Clinton’s campaign was that social media – especially Facebook – became the way around the media censorship of news. People openly shared videos of Clinton passing out all the time and being dragged lifeless into SUVs. People openly shared that Gowdy/Comey testimony about her illegal email system. When the October surprise hit – the audio tape thing – Trump voters didn’t defend it, but instead took to social media to remind everyone under the sun that the opposing candidate’s husband is an accused rapist. It made “I believe her” a joke and Trump quickly recovered. It also allowed people to share and talk about the re-opening of the FBI’s email investigation.
When does the new terms of service go into effect? October 1st.
We all need to be ready with back up plans and networks if Facebook starts pulling down conservative content. You can bet that your Liberal/Prog “friends” are itching to report you and get you banned.
So, besides GAB, what conservative alternative to Facebook is there???
Parler
Haven’t found one yet. Nobody has figured out how to build a successful site that doesn’t monetize your private life, and is easy to use and understand.
I agree on Parler, for social media. I signed up for both Gab and Parler a while back in anticipation of the silicon valley cultural marxist censorship campaign. Gab seems to be turning out to be a pretty nasty wild west kind of platform, for better or worse.
For a youtube replacement, bitchute.com seems to be coming into favour, but maybe that is premature.
I believe that a free speech alternative to Twitter is needed. I don’t know of any yet.
My family all has accounts. Haven’t used it much yet. It’s set up more like Twitter, a forum I hate with a passion, so I don’t put effort into it.
President Trump is going to increase his electoral vote margin in November. With no Johnson/Weld NeverTrumper ticket on the ballot, Trump should pretty handily win the nationwide vote total as well. The only reason we had that popular vote nonsense was the Romney/Bush NeverTrumpers put up a siphon candidate.
The RCP polling on Biden looks like a rickety airplane struggling to stay in the air. It is way over-inflated, but even the fake polls are having trouble making it look like he’s the front-runner.
There is a Libertarian ticket, but for the life of me I can’t remember who is on it.
States have been blocking Kanye West from getting on the ticket. THEY really hate that Trump is going to win even without Kanye’s help.
The difference is that this time they don’t have a ton of NeverTrumper money pouring in. Johnson/Weld was a phony ticket and an attempt to do to Trump what the eGOP did to the Tea Party – run fraudulent candidates to siphon off votes during primaries and (if necessary) help Democrats win the seat in the general election.
It’s actually the Kanye West strategy in 2020…giving them a taste of their own medicine…give blacks somebody to vote for other than Biden if they can’t pull the lever for Trump.
I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. (I didn’t vote for her either.)
This time: I. will. not. get. fooled. again.
This time I am voting for Trump.
Thank you Sundance for helping me to understand the deeper game and the very high stakes involved.
I keep getting text messages asking me to do call banking for slow hiden.
It would be a shame if some of our team signed up and used a modified script during the autocalls to their “on the fence” list…

Guerrilla Warfare!
Even though The Monolithic Left is OBVIOUSLY orchestrating their “This will be Yet ANOTHER IL-legitimate republican presidential victory” groundwork via the complicit State Media, I think it will be a Nixon-McGovern level LANDSLIDE. Again, I’m far more concerned about how the LEGISLATIVE races ultimately turn out.
I agree but think it is more like Reagan- Mondale… 525:13 the last time a candidate promised to raise your taxes.
The public thinks pollsters poll at random – “We asked a thousand people..”.
Literally no professional pollster polls at random. Random polling produces wide fluctuations in the results. Their customers (politicians, the news media) would find such results useless, and infuriating.
The pollsters “weight”; if they don’t have enough black women, say, to match the population, or to match the preferences of their client, they count the “votes” of the black women they do have 1.5 or 2 times. Scientific? Of course not, but accepted practice within their “profession”.
I heard Democrat pollster John Zogby tell comedian (?) Jon Stewart, many years ago, that the vast majority of people refuse to answer pollsters’ questions. Zogby was flippant: like this was an old and accepted handicap. My limited understanding of mathematics is that the results, from a self-selected sub-group, have little statistical value; maybe a mathematician here could comment.
One of the emails the “Russians” stole from the Democrats in 2016 was a multi-page email from John Podesta, outlining the many ways to cheat or influence polls. This stuff is oh so trite to political hacks.
Nate Silver, who does not poll but analyzes polls, is also facile about the built-in dishonesty of the process. He warns the various polls will come together during the last week of the Presidential campaign: Silver calls it “convergence”. No pollster wants to be an outlier: better the safety of the herd.
The key word is always “opinion”. A snapshot made from gossamer.
It’s a bit like polling Hispanics. Hispanic is a made-up racial category for Democrats who speak Spanish. People who actually identify as Hispanic are naturally going to prefer Democrats. I know lots of people with Hispanic surnames who don’t identify as “Hispanic”.
But you’re right, statistically speaking, that all you really learn when you survey people who self select is what people who self select think.
The polls themselves are mainly just used to drive media coverage. Kinda like how “news” today often just consists of what somebody tweeted.
I can keep this really simple. Pollsters get paid to make it all up. Like soft Antifa.
You are right, WSB.
But Trump HAS expressed appreciation
for Rasmussen, probably because it
apparently tries to use consistent
methodology, And therefore gives him
good numbers well above Obama’s 8 yrs
ago.
Rasmussen has PDJT Job Approval at
52 % today. I think this is low-ball,
but it shows a good trend, “back to its
pre-coronaviris high.”
Also Rasmussen has a poll showing
45 % JA among “black likely voters.”
I am heartened by this; am thinking
the Trump wave can “beat The Cheat,”
and that Trump coat tails might keep Senate
and regain House- taking Nancy’s
big gavel from her trembling hands.
Rasmussen has historically weighted pusch polls. I expect the company is attempting to ease themselves to truth.
The only poll that was correct on Election Day 2016 was the Dornsifer Daily Tracking Poll.
As we learned from the 2016 election, the media was using the tactic of showing overwhelming evidence where all of the polls showed Hillary was going to win & resistance was futile in order to suppress support for Donald J Trump. Their hope was that since all of the MSM polls showed Hillary leading, then candidate Trump support would be stifled since there was no possible way he could win, it was inevitable that she would.
Since that didn’t work, when we fast forward to 2020 and given what we have seen unfold this year with the plandemic and the insistence of vote by mail being the preferred method of voting for the Marxists, I expect we’ll see a different plan.
The plan will be for the networks to try and suppress Trump voter support by calling early victory for President Trump in many states where there is also a major push to use vote by mail in the hope it will suppress election day voting for President Trump at the polling stations, since they will hope to plant the seed that POTUS Trump has already sewn up victory in those states.
As the Dems are planning to contest the election until the very end and they (& their partners, the MSM) will stop at NOTHING to steal this election & since many states are making it easier for them to cheat, that’s just what they’ll do. With the massive vote by mail fraud we are likely to see, they will try and have relaxed rules set in Blue states for cutoff time for receipt of mail in vote eligibility. Then they will figure out how many votes they need to flip a state and they’ll pull every dishonest trick there is to use this tactic to keep “finding” mail in votes well after November 3. Everyone has to know this is what the Demarxocrats will try this time around.
The message to one and all that want to maintain our way of life as a Republic… is to be damned sure to vote and do not pay attention to the projections on November 3. Get out and vote a straight Republican ticket (unfortunately supporting RINOs as well), even if you have to hold you nose while doing so.
“But really, the conservative believes that there is one and one path only to sustainable success and independence – and that is self-empowerment.” YES!!!!! That’s it in a nutshell.

Well, if a sample size of “one” means anything:
In 2016 I was reading the NYT, WaPo, CNN, BBC, to get all of my pre-election coverage and news. And thanks to the lack of information I received back then, after the election I was amazed to find out that Trump had massive “rallies” and that there was a “Trump movement” and that his campaign was connected to Brexit (after seeing someone named Nigel Farage in a golden elevator). Back then I didn’t even know a site called Breitbart even existed. I was completely clueless.
So, this year I have ditched all of the legacy media (thanks to their lies over the past 4 years) and will follow the pre-election run up with CTH. And I have to say I am a pretty “middle of the road” voter, (probably center-left) and definitely not a Conservative.
So, if the rest of the country is disgusted as I am, I feel Trump’s chances are way better than they were in 2016.
The Overton window has shifted so far to the left that JFK would be considered a far right-wing radical today.
Welcome to the conservatives, whether you believe it or not.
Just kidding, kind of.
But it is nice to hear from fellow sane Americans.
Do not believe polls. Case-in-point: everyone believes, from the polls, that NY is pro-Biden. It simply isn’t true. Ground reports with pics/videos online, prove otherwise. Someone recently sent me a photo of a Biden sign in a NY neighborhood. The ONLY one seen for miles and miles. That sign, in less than 2 weeks, was destroyed and thrown in the street. The silent majority will crush Biden in the voting booth. Nov 3rd is T-Day.
T2020,
I humbly disagree, we such believe the FAKE polls, they should enrage us to get out and vote. Voter suppression is what the FAKE NEWS all about.
We have to ensure that every precinct in this Great Country has close to 100 percent turnout. 85 plus percent votes for PDJT. Than any mail in ballots greater than 100 percent would be tossed out. CAN NOT HAVE GREATER THAN 100 percent.
Just Saying.
For those who have not yet heard of Professor Helmut Norpoth, Google him.
He predicts a 91% chance of Trump winning with 362 electoral votes. In other words, a landslide.
He has been extremely accurate over the years using what he calls his “Primary Model.”
Beijing Biden is at deaths door.
He will have a stroke very soon.
He is way too weak.
Mamala Kamala will never win, even by ballot harvesting
The Atlantic story about President Trump saying horrible things about veterans and soldiers is so OUT THERE, so over the top, it’s unbelievable. It can only be designed to try to separate him from the military brass and the rank and file, too.
What’s scary to think about is why? Are they actually insane, deranged enough to think they can arrange some kind of military overthrow? I swear, I now believe, after seeing what we are seeing from the ruling class, they are capable of being that dumb and insane.
That story was so poorly sourced. The statements attributed to Pres. Trump were not even remotely believable. As I have studied the coverage of the story, I can’t help but think it was intended to be a tracker of some sort. The story might be a test to see who talks about it, who buys it, who supports it, who shares it, which sites tear it up, etc. It seemed to be written quickly, and poorly. One comment I read said that they rolled out the 2-year old story to cover for Biden’s had day in Kenosha. Plausible….
I will share something very encouraging, I feel as though there is a red swell developing and soon it will be a large wave. For those of you that have a Facebook account, I suggest you check out the FB page, ” #WalkAway Campaign”. It is a great page full of testimonies from former Democrats, they explain why the left the Democratic party and why they will be voting for President Trump. The page is a breath of fresh air and it gives me hope for our future! The page has grown in leaps and bounds of late. I seriously believe all of the BLM and Antifa type protests/riots/crime spree has bee a big wake up call to many Dems. #Walkaway Campaign.
Here’s the problem, even without universal mail in voting democrats commit massive voter fraud .
If voter fraud wasn’t so massive in 2016 Clinton would have been completely NON COMPETITIVE.
A tiny sample below:
An article published just a few days ago said that nearly 70% of democrats STILL believe Trump colluded with Russia in 2016 .
AG BARR said Labor day was the time for the motherload to drop and it better drop because the truth MUST BE EXPOSED BEFORE voting starts .
Americans need to know the truth or it puts Trump at a HUGE disadvantage .
Barr owes us an explanation. You can slam on the breaks going 100 Mph. Someone may notice.
What is that spidery looking thing in the windshield?
The best treatise on conservatism and liberalism I’ve ever read!
A Cougine of mine recently asked me if I think DJT can win again this time around. I delayed in answering her because I had no backup … Until now. I will be sending her a link to this very article now. No better backup than this.
Haven’t had the chance to check the hundreds of comments here, so if I’m duplicating another comment elsewhere, forgive me.

Mark Levin breaks down the Bernie Sanders-Joe Biden ‘manifesto’
“110 pages long on how they are going to destroy your country”
https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/mark-levin-breaks-down-the-bernie-sanders-joe-biden-manifesto
““In retrospect, the spark might seem as ominous as a financial crash, as ordinary as a national election, or as trivial as a Tea Party. The catalyst will unfold according to a basic Crisis dynamic that underlies all of these scenarios: An initial spark will trigger a chain reaction of unyielding responses and further emergencies.
The core elements of these scenarios (debt, civic decay, global disorder) will matter more than the details, which the catalyst will juxtapose and connect in some unknowable way. If foreign societies are also entering a Fourth Turning, this could accelerate the chain reaction. At home and abroad, these events will reflect the tearing of the civic fabric at points of extreme vulnerability – problem areas where America will have neglected, denied, or delayed needed action.” – The Fourth Turning – Strauss & Howe
https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/12/31/2019-from-a-fourth-turning-perspective/
FTA: “History may not repeat, but human nature never changes, so the 80-year cycles of manmade crisis will repeat. The length of time from the American Revolution climax in 1781 until the Civil War climax in 1863 was 82 years. The next climax in 1944 was 81 years after the Civil War climax. Therefore, we can expect a climax to this current Crisis sometime in the 2025 range. The question is what events will transpire between 2019 and 2025 before a climax is reached.”
Interesting thesis. It makes a lot of sense to me. People do not learn history, in general. 80 years is just long enough for people who know history to be deceased and to allow the new generation to repeat the major errors of the past.
Actually, I think we are experiencing some of that now, in that people under the age of say 55 don’t know anything about the Weather Underground and the Black Panther Marxist movements and the chaos an damage that they fomented. Because of that, the progeny of people that were in those kinds of groups are now repeating what they did back in the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s.
What do I know? I’m just a lowly scientist that went to school at UC Berkeley in the early 80’s/
I like that line about citizens of the old USSR knowing they were lied to and so many of us do not. The minute I got up the day after the ’16 election and my wife, who’d stayed up when I’d hit the sack, laughed and said ‘guess who’s not president!’ I knew without being able to prove it, that all polling was garbage. That said, a month or so ago there was a story about some poll somewhere (that had polled 53% democrats!) having PDJT in the hole by around 10%. I made a comment on it to the effect that one shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that polls are meant to shape opinion, not measure it. Some guy responded to that by saying that was one of the ‘enduring myths’ of 2016. Someone replied to that reply with “Gaslight much?” 🙂
