Government run schools are no longer a place to send your kids. Homeschooling or other alternatives are essential today. It is fucking ridiculous that it's become Marxist/Fascist Indoctrination camp. And we pay for it all, in spades. My real estate/property taxes are what my mortgage used to be.

Time for a tax revolt.

You want to see a pro Marxist Democrat’s head explode?  Call public schools “Government schools.”  They fucking freak out about such reality, and actually try to say that public doesn’t mean government.

They also freak out because they know it’s the truth.

Stay safe yourself, 7. 

Book smart people can be easily indoctrinated idiots also. Doesn't mean they have common sense, or could fly a plane, nor make good life decisions.

That correct. Many very smart people would rather be led than lead. Many are also more susceptible to fear than common sense.

Now more than ever I terribly miss Rush Limbaugh telling us not to worry, and that he will tell us when it’s time to worry. Such optimism has disappeared from conservative thought.

They have cathedrals like that in Wisconsin? You'd think you were flying over somewhere in Europe.

We do, and they all came from European influence.

The Basilica of St Josaphat in Milwaukee is one example. We go to Christmas Mass there whenever possible.

It was built by polish immigrants using whatever materials were available. For example, the giant “marble” pillars are wood and plaster surrounding a steel substructure, painted to look like marble.

The giant doors and brass hardware came from an old post office in Chicago, and the knobs have USPS on them. These immigrants were not wealthy, but they did what they had to do. It’s beautiful.

Sorry for borrowing your thread, Becky! 

On the other hand don't get "black pilled", think there's no point in bothering, and give up and God forbid don't even vote.  I'm thinking if they do pull off the steal this time, THEN we can get black pilled, but as of now we still have a chance however small. I don't think there will be any coming back if they pull it off though, because this country CANNOT survive another 4 years of whoever the fuck has their hand up Biden's ass.

It seems like most everyone here has been black pilled and are downing them by the handful. 

Nihilism isn’t in my vocabulary. Nihilists are quitters, and I’ve never quit anything my life, and I’m not about to start now.

Anything!

I guess some Trump supporters do that. Not me.  I might feeeeel like it’s disloyal, but I don’t judge people based on my feelings.  I try to put myself in their shoes and understand their reasoning.  And I very well understand their reasoning. Some of it I fully agree with like Trump’s age. I would rather elect someone younger. 

I also understand the idea that Trump’s personality is very off putting to some people.  Even if you think that doesn’t hurt his leadership, you may think it makes him unelectable.  He has too much baggage.  That’s not a falsehood, he does have a lot of baggage. My counter argument to that is that most of the baggage was created by his enemies, not Trump himself.  But I can understand why a person would think no matter who created it, it makes him less electable or less able to function if he does get elected.

I don’t dispute all these reasons, they are very legitimate. I consider them myself. It’s just that people have different formulas they use when inputting these factors to arrive at a solution.  In my formula, these negatives all put together still don’t outweigh Trump’s positives.  The main one being that the intensity of the attacks on him show clearly that he is the one most feared by the cabal engaging in a soft coup of our country, and therefore the one with the most power to resist it.

Hence my position that the harder they attack him, the more certain I am that he is the man we need.

Listen, the U.S. will become an globalist authoritarian dictatorship, it is heading that way and will pass a point of no return. It’s just a matter of time.  But we can forestall it temporarily, hopefully for at least a generation. Give our children a few more years of relative freedom. But at the point of no return we will have to choose between submitting as slaves, or bloodshed, assuming CoS or bloodless secession don’t work.  Right now the best path to forestalling it is Trump in my opinion.

Even if DeSantis or Ramaswamy were as good or better, the polls indicate there is no way they can win the primary unless Trump dies or something.

That’s my opinion and reasoning but it’s fine if others have different opinions.

I believe you, but even you have regurgitated things about DeSantis that have no basis in fact, but have been pushed by Donald Trump.

At the end of the day, everyone here knows I have been a Trump supporter since post Convention 2016.  However, no one can articulate a winning GENERAL ELECTION strategy. Trump supporters are more than happy to work to crush Trump’s competitors and win the primary, but they collectively NEVER talk about how he can win the general election.

When I push that, and I’ve been doing that here for months, the standard answer is “well it’s rigged anyway so no Republican can win.”  What a bullshit response. What they’re saying is we are supposed to accept that we just go down with the ship, but full speed ahead. Damn the torpedoes and all that. They are NEVER willing to concede that an alternative path might be available that could win the general.
