+1 cause it's all I got.Respectfully, I think this is what they want you to believe. I look at it as, after '94 or so we took over the majority of state legislatures, showing the ideas we support resonate with everyday people still to this day. Then we surprised our wannabe masters and elected Trump, at a time when how he would perform was an unknown - people just wanted something, anything different and were willing to take that chance. Then in what IMO was the most compromised election ever and despite the media and tech in lockstep support of the Democrats and actively suppressing right or right-center viewpoints we fought them to a standstill, and arguably would have defeated them in a fair election
I don't think we despair. I think we begin planning now to throw a monkey wrench into whatever stupid **** they want to do, challenge everything in the courts and drag our feet, with the goal of also holding the senate and retaking thge house in '22. Then, if they obey the rule of law, their reign is effectively over. They will kick and squirm and try to make electoral hay over Republican 'obstructionism' but the mask is off and that strategy will be even less successful than it was for Obama. We need to make sure any state we control adopts secure voting rules and we keep the Electoral College sacrosanct. We need to convince our brothers that running third party candidates will be destructive in '22 and especially in'24, and we need to settle on either a successor for Trump who will be a fighter and a worthy heir or we want Trump (who, at 78 in 2024 will be no older than Biden is now) to run again. We need to get what divisiveness we are vulnerable to well behind us and ideally coalesce behind a standard-bearer as early as possible. There is plenty to keep us busy at the local, state and federal level while we wait out this leftward lurch in our politics. For instance, here in Ohio we need a better governor and a switch to two republican senators from the one of each we have now
We nearly had it all against the longest odds possible short of a real military coup, and that was only at the thought of what the Democrats stand for. Wait until we have lived under whatever they can manage to contrive for two years. It may not save the republic forever, but I believe we can swing that pendulum even further to the right at least one more time
