This is what's at the heart of this contention in this thread. Yes there are Democrat and Republican operatives on this forum, but A Son Of Liberty, Phil, AF, me, etc. aren't them. To tell us that we are falling for a politician when we aren't is ridiculous. We know politicians are corrupt. We know we are getting divided, BUT seeing the parents rise up at the school board meetings to protest the marxist indoctrination that divides us was inspiring. To see a state break with the state party to vote against McCaulif who said that parents shouldn't have a say was awesome. We a facing a marxist revolution. I am as dreamy for a libertarian utopia as anyone here, but I will gladly take status quo for now over what happened in Maoist China, Soviet Russia, etc. That's what they are shooting for.
On top of that, there is one party that is definitely trying to stop me from earning a living to feed my kids. The other one is wishy washy but at the worst they are neither for nor against me. I will go with the guys who ignore me as I try to keep my head above water rather than the bastards trying to step on my head.

You asked about abortion and holding feet to the fire. I posted a evidence regarding Republican gains on anti-abortion legislation. I asked you if it were Marxists or Republicans that passed this legislation. You claim all the above. And you call me dense.
Go $#@! yourself. I've really had it with your bull$#@!.
Don't want to vote? Then $#@!ing sit it out. Just quit bitching at others that choose to.
I owe you a rep.
$#@!s sake, just that alone should be enough.
The Marxist left/Biden/Democrats have destroyed energy producers, are imposing massive new regulations on truckers in the middle of supply chain crisis, are mandating that we all get jabbed with an unsafe and ineffective "vaccine", are on record as supporting wholesale gun bans, are inflating at rate three times that at which the Great Cheeto did, and have launched the forces of the federal government and law enforcement directly at me head by calling my and my family the greatest threat to the nation.
That's just off the top of my head.
Yeah, I'll settle for the status quo at this point as well.

Do any of you have any idea who Youngkin is? He just "retired" as CEO from the Carlyle Group. If you don't know who they are, I'd advise doing some research.
There is no spoon.

Shem, Glenn and Ron all took the position of 'if we didn't run R we would have no voice at all'. I wouldn't call that an endorsement of the Republican party. We have to stop playing divide and conquer games. At current, our entire political system is corrupt to the root. Alternate societies and local conglomerates should be everyone's focus, not trying to 'beat the other team' and yelling 'let's go brandon!' cause it's cool.

No $#@!ing $#@! there Watson! Have you read this thread at all? McCaulif (I don't care if I spell his name wrong) said parents have no say in a kid's education. That is VERY $#@!ING EVIL! That's not a little worse. That's not a teeny bit evil. That is VERY $#@!ING EVIL. The other guy said parents should have a say. That's not evil. So take your condescension somewhere else.
My ground is me feeding my family. That's been $#@!ed with by this Covid crap. One party is hurting me badly. The other is leaving me alone. Again one is very evil. The other brings what I have lived with in the past.Walk completely away and start building your local society from the ground up.

There is hope in VA but it's the Lt Governor.
She disseminated photos of herself holding an AR. That took balls.
All Youngkin did is not be a guy openly advocating for having prosecutorial discretion to jail people for talking about oral sex, the way Cuccinelli did. Democrats never won Virginia. Republicans threw it away.
All they did here is all they ever had to do: run someone who is not a complete ass clown. So they decided to get by on a partial ass clown.
Winsome Sears is the only person who represents anything that isn't the stupefyingly obvious lesser of two evils. And she's still a marine and likely a solid war machine supporter.
Sorry to disappoint everyone here but I still remember what we used to stand for. Like I said, I'm relieved I am probably not getting targeted for prison in the next four years, but that's no guarantee I'm not going anyway... Virginia is a legal $#@!hole and nothing that happened last night is going to
$#@!. I'm probably going to have to destroy my plants soon, too.
There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
The lesser of two evils is an analogy. An analogy is not an argument.
If you are comparing George Bush and Bill Clinton, then saying "the lesser of two evils" makes perfect sense. Same for Gore, Kerry, Obama, McCain, Romney, etc.. it all makes perfect sense.
If you are comparing living in a world where somebody robbed a bank one time, vs. living in a world where the banks rob everybody, then the lesser of two evils makes no sense as an analogy.
None of the Trump supporters here supported these other puppets, and we all agree the analogy was very fitting at the time Ron Paul made that statement.
However, it is not always fitting in local elections just because one person is some party or another or isn't a perfect liberty candidate. Sometimes they just have to be a lot better. And the way that we perceive Trump, it is not fitting for him either. It may be fitting for you, based on the way that you perceive Trump, but you don't perceive him the same way we do. You perceive him more like the way CNN does.

Yeah, but we also know who McAuliffe is.
NOBODY IN THIS THREAD IS GLAD YOUNGKIN WON. We're just glad McAuliffe lost.
$#@!, not everything is a zero sum game. I'm a $#@!ing anarchist, but I don't have to hate everyone who's not an anarchist. I learned this from Michael Malice. You should listen to him.

BY the way, I in NO way endorse Youngkin. What is good about this win (and yes it's a win) is that it is a movement started by the parents sick of indoctrination, business owners sick of lockdowns, and other "ground up" people. These people have been screwed with. These people are the future of politics. Not the Youngkins and the McCaulifs. I am glad Youngkin won, but he is a stepping stone.

They won't show her holding the firearm in a professional manner on the MSM. The only time they show a POC holding a firearm is when they do it in a gangsta or thug like manner. That's one of the reasons why I see this whole Virginia thing as a win. People are starting to see through that.

Youngkin, like Trump, is an avatar for the frustration that common people feel for being ignored by the ideological, cultural and political elite of this country for the past 20 years. Those people don't know who to reach out to, but they know that the people on the teevee newz, and the Democrats who keep telling them that they're racist for being concerned about what their kids are learning in school, and the fancy folks in Hollywood who brow beat them for driving diesels while they parade around in $20,000 suits and dresses aren't their friends. They don't realize that the Republicans aren't their friends either, but they're swimming in icy waters looking for something to hold onto... and when you're about to drown or freeze to death, you don't make friends by saying, "uh, duh, you're so stupid for reaching out for that Republican, he's just gonna betray you in a few minutes and you're gonna drown or freeze to death anyway".
I don't want to build a bridge between these people and the GOP. But if we can get them to the GOP, we might be able to get them to liberty. But they ain't gonna get their by clinging to the democrats. That's for sure.
Either party is only able to enact upon you what you consent to. Parents can pull their children out of public education and start community schooling. Local towns/counties etc can choose to work amongst themselves and other local communities instead of bowing to state/federal machinations. Choosing any evil, no matter how big or small, is still choosing evil.
