Cogitating

Update:

Twain’s actual recorded comments treated the ballot as a useful restraint on power. In a 1905 interview he said: “In this country we have one great privilege which they don’t have in other countries. When a thing gets to be absolutely unbearable the people can rise up and throw it off. That’s the finest asset we’ve got — the ballot box.”

  1. That pretty well says it. It’s like the hazing scene in “Animal House”, we line up to bend over and get paddled on the ass, and then exclaim “thank you sir, may I have another?”

    I’d prefer to shove the business end of the paddle up their asses instead.

  2. On the bright side, anyone who has decided not to vote will at least not be voting FOR the socialists/communists. I do very much appreciate that. However, when the Demoncrats do finally take over, and they WILL take over, not because they have the stronger argument (just better propaganda), or better values, but because the Republicans are weak and feckless and impotent, and most of them are really Demoncrats anyway, THEY will be the ones that declare war on Russia, and establish martial law, and round up dissenters, and conscript your children and grandchildren, and force you to take mRNA vaccines if you want to be able to access your money and buy food, or drive your car, or get on the internet, or get treated at the hospital, or even have access to electricity.

    Everyone here is mad at Trump because of the things he says. Or in their minds has failed to do. Sometimes he insults his base. Maybe it’s Israel, or Epstein. Okay. Perhaps it’s our representatives who continue to fail us (mostly). Got it. You’re not wrong. I just don’t believe you remember any of the accomplishments this administration has made. I’ve already listed many of them, not going to do it again. I also think many don’t remember the abject hell we went through during the Biden administration. Or the destruction to our health care system by the Obama administration. Biden and Obama were like Katrina and the LA wildfires. Hundreds of billions between the two. Lump in Helene, and we are approaching a trillion. Immense destruction in a matter of hours. Most of that destruction STILL hasn’t been rebuilt. Don’t believe me? Go visit Biloxi Mississippi sometime… many areas still haven’t recovered, even after 20 years.

    And we’re mad because President Trump hasn’t been able to rebuild and fix everything in the last two years, therefore voting doesn’t matter because nothing ever changes. Well, the next Demoncrat president may be the equivalent of the Chicxulub impactor, and we’re the dinosaurs.

    This will likely be my last post regarding the election. I’m not changing any minds, and mostly what I get are insults, despite my efforts to be civil and constructive. After this I will concentrate on preparedness, survival, and defeating the surveillance state as best as can be done, because whatever freedoms we have are getting ready to be stripped from us with prejudice.

    FWIW, I don’t think Mark Twain actually said that, nor do I think he really believed it.

      As I posted before, I will hold my nose and vote for the Dead Elephant Party candidates here in Idaho. Our big issue is the forces of darkness who are ALL members of the Socialism-Abortion Party want to legalize the genocide of unborn Idahoans. The Newspeak about it is in their election statements and platforms.
      Personally, I think the Golden Golem may just pull a whopping big rabbit out of his hat and dumbfound all of us, setting the stage for a defeat of the baby-killing satanists at the polls. We’ll just have to wait and see. FWIW about Mr. Twain. His constant cynicism in his later years may have been massive grief over the loss of his children before he finally passed away.

      1. I still cling to a shred of hope too, not gonna lie. I can see a path where half this crap is some 57-D chess BS… e.g. they have to be exposed/expose themselves before you can act against them, but I just don’t think that’s the case, I’m aware I’m smoking hopium.
        The problem(s) with the votingbargument are tough. Lesser of two evils is still evil (and how we got here), but if you DO vote, then you’re playing their game – sonetimes the only move is not to play.
        I do subscribe to the idea that by removing your vote you are removing consent. However even with 10% voter turn out, we still have a commie-pedo government. Not-voting for a candidate is akin to voting FOR revolution in some ways? I don’t mean that in a threatening manner, I mean it in an inevitability manner?

          Joe: Whether people vote or not here in this corrupt, syphilitic-thinking country; there will be no revolution. Revolutions happen when people have had enough. The Sheeple, Normies, Cucks, Mall Zombies, and Remoras are still wallowing in their cheap entertainments, electronic toys, Franken Food, and celebrity worship. Sad.
