The votes are in and they have been counted. The great red wave that everyone expected never materialized. The expectation going into the election was that the Republicans would score an easy victory, picking up about forty seats in the House and enough Senate seats to gain the majority. Because America is a haplessly corrupt society, we may never know the final results, but someone will assign final numbers and it will be a slim victory for the GOP.
Of course, the flash analysis will come pouring out of the media, most likely blaming the results on Trump and the insurrectionists. You see, just as the media warned, democracy was on the ballot and this time democracy own. The Republican side of the uniparty will happily go along with it. They will expedite their plans to keep Trump off the ballot in 2024 for the good of our democracy. The whole thing is ridiculous but we are ruled by ridiculous people so this is to be expected.
The main question out of this election is about the legitimacy. Should we believe that the brain damaged hobo was the people’s choice in Pennsylvania? This is a good bellwether for this election, because John Fetterman is as close as we have come to putting a horse in a Senate. His opponent is ridiculous by normal standards, but in comparison to Fetterman he is Cicero. We are now required to pretend that a brain damaged hobo won the Pennsylvania Senate race.
The reason this particularly race is key to the legitimacy question is that there is no answer that supports the democratic system. If everything was above board and the people did vote for a brain damaged hobo, then this is proof that the public should never be trusted with such decisions. The openness to voting for a brain damaged hobo should be a disqualification to voting. On the other hand, if the vote is rigged again, then there is no reason for people to bother voting.
Of course, you can shift the question further up stream. What kind of political system produces a brain damaged hobo and a Turkish carny as the two options? Before you even get to the question of election integrity, you have to see that the system has problems far deeper than vote rigging. This turns up all over the ballot. In Georgia, the choice for Senate was between a brain damaged former football player and guy who used to hustle old black ladies for donations.
In Massachusetts, they are celebrating the first openly lesbian governor. Before Maura Healy was famously gay, she was famously stupid. Given the centrality of Massachusetts in the American empire, it is a good representation for how our democracy actually works. Politics in that state have been dominated by drunkards, perverts and degenerates for generations. The system they have imposed on the country selects for increasingly ridiculous candidates.
If we accept wholesale vote rigging is now a feature in many states, there is a limit to how much can be done. Historically, the Democratic machines used to be worth about five percent in the areas they controlled. That is enough in reasonably close elections, but not enough to overcome a wave election. All of the polling and history said this should have been a historic blowout of the Democrats, even when adjusting for the shenanigans that are now a feature of our democracy.
In other words, the results speak to something more than shenanigans. Either people skipped the election, seeing no point in it, or we are now locked into a partisan divide that makes elections pointless. Going back to Pennsylvania, either Oz lost because people thought he was just as ridiculous as Fetterman or partisanship has made elections in the state meaningless. After all, elections pivot on the ability of people to change their minds from election to election.
The current vote totals in Pennsylvania say that about five million ballots were counted in the Senate race. The governors race, which got far less attention, garnered the same number of votes. In 2020, 6.9 million votes were counted. What this says is that close to 30% of the entities that filled out ballots in the 2020 election decided that they had no reason to fill out a ballot this time. This strongly points to the conclusion that voters were given no reason to vote for either party.
Put another way, the polling shows that people are angry about the economy and the culture, but they did not see hope in either party. They were not even moved to strike out at the ruling party. Harry Truman famously said “If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time.” In this age, given the choice between a uniparty zombie and uniparty opportunist, people will choose the zombie.
The people endlessly yapping about democracy will no doubt claim that democracy won this time, but the turnout numbers suggest otherwise. The uniparty offered up a series of ridiculous choices and 30% of the voters stayed home. They refuse to follow the script because the directors showed no interest in the drama. Neither party offered a compelling reason for anyone to vote, so they were left with the partisan zombies and civic nationalist dead enders.
For the people hoping democracy lost the election, this is a good result. The exit polls show that over 75% of the vote was white. Outside of the freaks and crazies, that cohort currently has little or no representation in our democracy. The best thing they can do is boycott the process until they have a party that will represent their interests. Perhaps the midterms were the start of quiet quitting leaking into politics. Turn off, tune out and drop out of a system that has nothing to offer.

I’m not sure why people still believe voting 1. matters (provably doesn’t) or 2. is even remotely honest. Has it occurred to anyone that if they “wanted” fair elections they could very easily do it? Yet that’s not even close to the case in our insane state systems. It’s beyond a joke. So ask why? Why the heck would any state set up a system that’s so bizarre, confusing, and so easy to manipulate. Why wouldn’t the feds pass a law stating basic voting protocols that are tamper and fraud proof? I think if you reason it out, it’s clear.… Read more »
Trump 2016 : “day ONE, I will sign the order to deport 11 millions of illegals” He didn’t, prefering focusing on obamacare (as a French, I never understood what was this complicated thing, I prefer our simple and more thrifty national system with which Walter White wouldn’t have to pay for his cancer treatment) and taxes and “lowest black unemployment ratio”, and “trump vaccine”. He didn’t reform electoral laws. He didn’t instaure free speech on corporate medias. He didn’t repeal key administrators (but maybe he haven’t) He didn’t cancel alphabet administrations He never purged the party (heard of Stalin, anyone… Read more »
Operation Sentinelle is ongoing.
Any opinions about that?
I take a broader perspective. The effete (the left) who are too weak to defend their civilisation, and all those who want to take over that civilisation for themselves (immigrants and racial minorities, including the Jews) are joining together to bring down the current incumbents of that hitherto white Anglo-Saxon civilisation and replace it with something closer to their comfort zone. At the moment, the two sides are in close balance, but the Meek, with the media on their side, are in the ascendant, and to my mind the increasing proportion of non-heterosexuals is swinging it. The latter is the… Read more »

The government-run brain laundries appear to have done their job well.
Young people do not vote in those numbers. Never have, never will.
What you have is a perfect fraud where you target sections that don’t bother (young, minorities etc) and print up the ballots for a percentage of them as you know they will never show and never check.
As the adult vote swings against you, you have to keep upping these percentages.
So it looks like massive vote preferences. But its just massive fraud and you can play the game for ever pretty much.
I noticed that you got a new Governor of Maryland ZMan. A quick look at his policy stance and it looks like a typical radical progressive. He is intelligent enough to go light on the anti-white. He did get riled by Freddy Gray and took a minute away from giving lectures on poverty to support the Baltimore riots/protests and say systemic problems must be addressed.
His slogan is, “Now is Our Time”. I wonder how inclusive his Our is. I suspect we know how wide that circle is likely to be.
When JFK got shot, people should have woke up and realized they are trapped in a hebrew theatre, run by madmen.The moon landing, really? 911, really? Covid, really? The jew wants you dead, your children disabled and sterile, wake up Whitey. You can’t vote your way out of slavery.
Sure buddy. Stick around , you might learn something.
The Meds Trolley is entering the chat room.
It was dark and late on voting day in the Granite State. Eight hours earlier, I made my initial get-out-and-vote attempt. And this second time, and again, parking remained nonexistent, and voting lines still snaked far out onto the govt.-skewl sidewalks. I was hungry. I just couldn’t imagine trying to park and standing in that line. Perhaps this voting is a charade, maybe I am on a fool’s path. Circling the parking lot for the second time, it crossed my mind to just stop at the bar down the street and have a drink to vote. A nod to the… Read more »
I’ve never had to walk for more than 5 minutes to reach a polling station. And never once had to queue to vote. I live in the UK.
Serious question – Why can’t the US have polling stations within easy reach of voters? Also – Couldn’t you have taken a bus? I suspect I already know the answer to the second question.
For years, the GOP has been telling us that we have to “hold our noses” and vote for whatever sellout cuck they throw at us. For years, we did it. And what did it get us? Worse than nothing. And now, thanks to the Trumpening, we know exactly how they treat candidates WE like. They don’t hold their noses. They don’t support them. They sabotoge them at every turn. I, for one, am done holding my nose. I’d vote for a zombie (aka Fetterman) before I’d vote for the slop the GOP is offering us these days. Screw ’em. I… Read more »
A lot of copium. And refusal to face facts: it was massive, massive fraud just like 2020. And Z-Man was just wrong about the lack of national fraud scaling in the midterms, of course the model is now national and coordinated. Its not the 1980s any more, fraud is cheap and easy to coordinate with electronic voting and no possible audit. Why not? Its what the Furries who run things want. That is by design. Lets review: everyone’s standard of living is crashing. Inflation means less money every week, with massive job cuts and layoffs and shortages of everything and… Read more »
Florida was Red because it’s full of old White people who have a high turnout. It’s also full of Cuban, Venezuelan, and Brazillian immigrants. Georgia was 50.1% White as of 2020 and rapidly declining. Whites are the only group that votes Republican as a whole. Therefore, Georgia will move towards Democrats. It’s just basic math. The former silent majority is now the “loud Trumper minority” driving around honking with “FUCK BIDEN” flags. For every loud “FUCK BIDEN” guy driving past there are 10 paper Americans pulling the lever for D that you don’t notice. It is what it is –… Read more »
Not grinding an axe, B125, but how does that explain PA? 81% white, 19% over 65. Compared to Florida, 77% and 21% respectively.
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/FL,PA/PST045221
Kind of funny, scanning that page, they’re pretty comparable, but the hype says Florida is where it’s at, while PA is making the shithole list lol.
Non-Hispanic White is only 73% of PA. They also don’t have a huge Cuban population. Whites in Pennsylvania have also never split as strong for R as southern Whites have.
Obviously not every White person is a Republican. But as a group, White people are the ONLY group that favours Republicans more than 50%. Even in PA, Republicans still had a weak 54-46 advantage with White voters.
Yeah I’m trying to figure it out. Pretty sure we’ve got a lot of independents, and they’re a fickle bunch. I used to be one, probably will be again soon. At any rate, something doesn’t sit right with me. Not just with the election, but a lot of things. Lots of conventional wisdom being broken. Am I trying to cope or do I smell a rat?
It appears the powers that be were not going to tolerate any upsets in the deep blue states.
At this point, trying to flip deep blue states is a fool’s errand. I live in SoCal and the vast majority of democrat voters are simply a lost cause. They see everything happening around them, they feel the pain at the pump and the grocery checkout, they see the squalid conditions and open criminality, but it’s like there is a shunt in their mind that prevents them from coming to logical conclusions about the folly of their voting habits and political philosophy (I use that word “philosophy” very charitably).
NPCs repeat what the implanted words in their heads say like a golem with a scroll containing its shem.
They do not draw conclusions.
They actually think it’s due to conservatives. There could be one conservative white guy left on earth and left wing democrats would blame him before ever looking in the mirror.
Let’s face reality, we live in an economic trading zone where large swaths of people do not want the same society.
I live in NorCal and it’s exactly the same. Armies of libtards who blame everyone but themselves for the consequences of the policies they mindlessly support.
Prayers ascending for you and your family member. Been there. The cheating is by design. Monday the DOJ announced they were sending poll watchers to cities across the US, including MA. The bluest state! WTF? https://tinyurl.com/zdjb3j8m All the cities mentioned have quite large foreign born/recently arrived populations. There was a referendum question to give the citizens a say on drivers’ licenses for illegal aliens.
I will not dispute that there was fraud – I am sure there was. But you are reasoning from the white middle class – now a minority. For the average flunkie whitey, not much has changed. Gas, sure. But the crap they eat (fast food) is still same price, the lives they lead (empty and meaningless) remain the same, and Hitler is still out there. People who have no ownership have nothing to lose. We are the ones who feel it, but we are the minority. Now, some libs may be feeling the pain, but just like the parents of… Read more »

Which is worse- that they cheated or that he won?
The same race re-elected a guy who died in October.
The dead can’t just vote— they can hold office!
Giving my family the whole post election, “do you see how Fox News lies to you” speech, which is peppered with racial realism and white replacement stats. They’re much more receptive this round.

Here, hope this helps. White people have officially become homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
I was just able to look at some of the individual races. The graphs are very telling. The dems appear to have conducted fraud in exactly the same way they did in 2020. In many areas the voting machines “went down” and in many areas they “ran out of paper for the ballots.” In other areas the “tabulation soft wear” did not work properly. After the outages were “resolved’ : Presto!!! The dems in those races had the lead. The spike is clearly visible in the graphs just like 2020. If elections seemed a waste of time before 2020, then… Read more »
Fetterman? A bit late. Ilan Omar, Maxine Waters, where was the outrage then?
Large swathes of voters vote race and/or ethnicity. Illinois had to enact a law that if a candidate changed his/her name to appeal to a certain demographic, the ballot would also display the candidate’s previous name (search how Philip Spiwak became Shannon P. O’Malley.) Maxine Waters doesn’t even live in the district she “represents” Yet they keep voting for her. We let stupid/ignorant people in every demographic vote.
I forgot to include the same goes for the Republicans and Walker in Georgia.
In regards to Fetterman what the Democrats in Pennsylvania want is nothing more than a warm body to occupy a seat in the senate who will vote exactly the way way the party tells him to vote.
Nothing more. After witnessing his his various attempts at public speaking surely the party would rather he never says a word in public. Just shut up and vote.
And with Shapiro in as governor in PA, if Senator Lurch has another stroke that clearly makes him hors de combat, or if he then instead dies, I think Shapiro gets to appoint his replacement. Score!
Both Strokey and Shifty were the Party’s reward for the 2020 Steal.
And I guarantee that Joshua Shapiro will appoint Admiral Dick Levine to fill Senator Strokey’s vacant seat for maximum humiliation to Pennsylvania Normies, while the Pennsylvania Republican Party encourages them to Vote Harderer for their next Vichy bitch candidate, while bowing and rolling over like good little lapdogs for Senator Tranny.
They can find a normal person who does that. They can find someone who can comprehend the spoken word and respond in comprehensible English. They’ve done it countless times in the past 70 years. Bringing in Fetterman, to me, is simply forcing the peasants to go through a humiliation rite. Imagine watching him slur his way through a speech in a hoodie and gym shorts and say, “yep, that’s the one I want to rule over me.” Imagine actually putting up a sign in front of your house to publicly announce you support the brain damaged hobo. Imagine taking precious… Read more »
The thing is its all about demoralization. The same mechanism is used in horror films where the protagonists appear to be out of danger by finally getting the car to start, or making it to the local town. The relief kicks in on the audience, then the guy in the skin mask pops up in the back seat, or it turns out the town is full of his relatives. Total demoralization works the same way.

There is a small chance Russia is baiting a cauldron for the remaining Ukro forces in the south.
Otherwise, this whole thing has been one giant worked shoot to nudge us into the Great Reset.
The latter is 99.9% I would say. It has been clear to me for a while that its not real, and the deal was the splitting of the west from energy and creating a new western soviet to imprison their citizens away from the rest of the world, and Russia got a couple of areas of Ukraine full of Russians and got to kick out the cultural poison locally. However, they had to be humiliated in part as well as a condition of the deal by giving up some territory that is now Russian. Its depressing but Putin also appears… Read more »
Sad but true. I had no illusions, given where I live, but I just feel disappointed that there was no greater impact nationwide. South of the Mason-Dixon Line, the allegedly ignorant Scots-Irish and their Cajun and Coonarse allies know the score. They form square and coalesce against the “activists” and their bien-pensant white allies. OTOH, too many of us in the Midwest–including my fellow Dobrawolskis and O’Haras–lack that consciousness, and the results speak for themselves. Time to consider a voortrek. Capital gains taxes, I gather, will be the least of my worries.
” We are now required to pretend that a brain damaged hobo won the Pennsylvania Senate race.” Sure why not? We are required to believe that a brain damaged geriatric who campaigned from his basement got he most votes in presidential history. And some black/indian/whore/idiot is vice-president. “The reason this particularly race is key to the legitimacy question is that there is no answer that supports the democratic system.” That is true. A new people have been elected both physically from across the border and mentally through the power of decades of degenerate brainwashing. “What kind of political system produces… Read more »
The key takeaway staring us in the face is that Soros has figured out Secretaries of State are the key post to control if you want to rig a state election.
Michigan is a good example. At one point Dixon was up on Whitmer by 5%. And then, as if by magic Whitmer pulls it out.
Now, go look at the WEF plant installed as Michigan’s SoS.
I rest my case.
But all the Republican commentary unanimously agrees that the problems were Trump (who endorsed ~200 candidates and only ~180 of them won? I’ve read) and abortion (which barely scraped the top 10 in any issues poll). So the populists and Christians have to shut up and go away forever (again), and when Trump gets shot during his coming arrest—he’s going to try to grab the wheel again!—really it’s a relief.
Trump just got shot. In the foot. By himself.

In 2020, the elites rolled out their new ruling motto, which is something like “we are in charge, screw you, you’re never getting a say again.” This year showed what they meant.

While absolutely true, in fairness, the GOP did everything in their power to throw this election.
Well, so have Democrats right? Look at all they unleashed on us during their time in charge.
I’m surprised no one here is bringing up the importance of the whore vote.
“The world can crash and burn around me as long as abortion is legal!! What if I’m stoned and fall into bed with a mediocre guy??!!”
I didn’t realize that my sister posts on this site.
White women had one job: have children. They couldn’t even do that right.
Pretty pleased with this result. Republicans are terrible and didn’t get rewarded just for being the junior partner of the seesaw arrangement. The GOP is the bane of any American identitarian current. You can’t reform a party where you can count the amount of people sympathetic to you on one hand.
Hopefully Trump can wreak enough havoc in the GOP to prevent them from consolidating with the next Dubya like figure.
The issue is surely no one really knows what the real voting numbers actually are. Talking about reward is meaningless unless one can trust the actual tallies.
There is no way to audit them and for all anyone knows 50% or more of the votes could be fake in many areas.
Who knows if the results even have a passing relationship with those actually cast by real people.
Their method of cheating is perhaps more distressing than the mere cheating itself.
As far as I can tell, their methods taint the vote in a way that makes it nearly impossible to back the fraudulent ballots out of the vote total after the fact.
Geese, that’s what I hate about the argument regarding “proof” of cheating. You’ve basically institutionalized cheating at this point and have made it extremely difficult to surveil or audit. If someone on the right or left demands “proof” ask them to prove it didn’t happen. Its like asking a teacher to “prove” that her students were cheating when she is banned from the room during test taking, is not allowed video surveillance, cannot interview the students afterwards and cannot even compare tests by name. And the test is open book anyway! “Well, everyone got A+’s, but the Teacher has no… Read more »

Of course that has always been the case with democracy. Only now, however, do we see endemic suspicion that the returns are not gibing with electoral reality. And that’s because the universal BS-detector is shrieking like a Dresden air raid siren.

No!
I want that blowhard loser to go away forever and for serious people to come forward.
Fetterman had the “every man” quality that is what real ‘Muricahns want. What is an every man in 2022? An obese brain damaged degenerate with a blackout tat in a Carhartt hoodie. Especially one that lives in a converted gas station with communist Latina wife. I’m sure a lot of people my age thought of the movie Dodgeball, with Fetterman representing the Vince Vaughn character and Oz representing the Ben Stiller character. In reality, they both work for Globo-Gym. It was not a “true underdog story” but rather a contest to see which candidate will read scripts for the war… Read more »
It seems that we got carried away with Fetterman’s physical and physiological shortcomings, without emphasizing his Soros-ist ideology and his undistinguished tenure of mayor of Braddock, PA, the South Bronx-on-the-Monongahela. I understand that Oz wasn’t a compelling candidate, but had I lived in the land of my birth, I would have voted out of my hatred for Schumer, Durbin–and their bosses. Well, I’m glad I don’t live in the Keystone State, after all, I live in————oh, wait………
White Goodman did nothing wrong!
“The biggest disappointment of the evening was how many pro-vax psychos were reelected (see Michigan c word) after destroying countless lives and careers.”
This. Covidianism is popular with possibly more than half the country and that half is largely White. The only short-term solution is to physically relocate to an area where that is not the case, although it may become the case.
Whites are the problem and their pets are a symptom. We need to accept this. Most never will change.
I just saw a link to a female beauty contest won by some huge fat guy in dress and the all white young women competitors were cheering their loss.
It would make more sense if the young women just went on stage put a shotgun in their mouth and pulled the trigger as part of cheering their destruction.
Even the small hats are nothing without us. Whites are the horses which all must ride. There is no upgrade, nor any change, without whites.
Oregon, where I’m trapped, one of the whitest states, and one that suffered perhaps the worst Covidian tyranny (it’s a toss up between OR and CA) just voted to give the Governorship back to the Democrats (the current Democunt can’t run again because of term limits). They’ve also voted away their 2nd Amendment rights more or less completely now given that Measure 114 passed. The measure requires some vaguely specified State issued licence for all gun purchases and that you take some sort of “training course”. Of course, there’s no money to actually fund this stuff. Oh, it’s unconstitutional as… Read more »

In this day and age, all issues reduce to the economic. The economic question is the only true political question, and it is all the more effective for never being explicitly formulated by anybody. And when I say “economic,” I do not mean technocratic squabbling over interest rates and taxes, as people are wont to think. I mean that the crucial political issue involves competing visions about what economics is. On this there are two possible views. 1. Economics is fiat and feelings. The role of government is wealth redistribution through social-democratic scrip. The fruits of production are to be… Read more »
Great post. I do quibble with the point about Republics. They, at least the American Republic, are about ownership of property, and thus The Blood. Because of the age of fiat, ownership is subservient if it exists at all. In the age of fiat lendership is what is key, and thus The Managers caretake on behalf of the lenders. It seems the lenders are in the catbird’s seat, but they are wholly dependent on The Management of the Fiat Regime. “The very painful episode of sobering up from the age of fiat, is why nobody wants to undertake that task.”… Read more »
Great post! Big fan of the Heidegger reference too!
ID writes, “In this day and age, all issues reduce to the economic.”
Your statement may have some truth for people who aren’t wealthy but for wealthy people, controlling the culture for the benefit of your racial group becomes very important. As the movie industry shows, wealthy people are willing to lose money to pump their degeneracy into the culture.
The “everything is about the money!” and “go woke, go broke!’ people cling to their economic explanations because they are too scared to really look at the world.
The uniparty has allowed a city twice the size of Chicago to enter the U.S. in the last two years. Most of them 85 IQ socialists. This on top of all of the previous immigration the cabal arranged. They are coached on how to vote. No one is checking their eligibility.
There is no longer a reason to cheat in the classic fashion anymore although a lot of that still happened. The conservative media will ignore the cheating and pivot to the “Our only hope is Desantis” trope.
I don’t think these 85 IQ folks think of themselves as socialists or even capable of understanding that concept. They’re down with handouts, however.
They admire corruption. Democrats are openly corrupt (winner/alpha). Republicans are deviously so (loser/beta).
Indian CEOs, Chinese SAT drillers, Honduran fry cooks, “Syrian” minivan moms, and black burglars are united by something stronger than (but overlapping with and convertible to) anti-whiteness.
Battle Beagle: After 1965, the Constitutional software no longer matches the hardware.
Those are just the “waved through.” The known “got aways” are at least a Boston, and who knows what the unknown “got away” count is? Both parties want this.
Today, I reflect on the blessings of freedom. Specifically, the freedom to not vote in these ridiculous sham “elections,” because this one is the last one where you’ll have that sweet luxury. Oh, we’ll still have “elections” — lots and lots of “elections” — but they’ll be North Korea-style plebiscites: “Isn’t The Regime just great? Don’t you love Dear Leader with all your heart? Check yes or no.” I see people worrying that Biden is going to cancel the 2024 elections. Have no fear; voting is about to become mandatory, Australia-style. How else would The Regime know how much we… Read more »
Way ahead of you. I wrote in Kim Jong-Un for most of the races yesterday.
You might think he’s a madman for lobbing missiles into the empty ocean…
But who do you think has been holding back Godzilla for all these years?
The coming social credit system and CBDC will be explicitly designed to force active support of the regime.
Those who stop clapping can plan on starving and freezing in the dark.
“Have no fear; voting is about to become mandatory, Australia-style. How else would The Regime know how much we love them, unless they force us to tell them”
Exactly. Voting will become about as voluntary as paying federal income taxes. Australia fines a fairly insubstantial amount. Our Democracy will be much worse
I think Fetterman probably legitimately won (not dismissing possibility of rigging). I bet half voters did not even know his speech, much less his brain, is addled. The media is the real victor in this race. The average American is so dumb, they will move whatever way the media tells them – just look at covid. Talk to an 18 year old outside of your network. Talk to twenty of them. I do not think most people realize how ignorant young folk are. They only know what social media tells them. They are the eloi, and their time has come.… Read more »
I have had that luxury. Some of them are going to the most elite schools, and others are in solid top 100 schools. Not a single one of them knows how to think. I mean, even things we don’t think of as problem solving are issues. The ones going to top tier know how to posture and spout the cliches of Regime Cult Vernacular, but they are arrogant with zero intellectual curiosity. Why should they be curious? They know it all already. The past is bad, those who created it are evil. They are here to bury the past and… Read more »
Sad truth. My cohort of genZ overachievers are now sending their precious below-replacement spawn off to colleges. Not even “top” colleges. Just the bread n circus state variety. Many aren’t even worried about the education as much as maintaining the fiat status trajectory and being able to “experience college with their friends”. The other side of that coin being their own ability to talk about their kids’ college trajectories around the grill. And these are the right-wing ones who are super worked up about the steal and the “covid”. So much that they even talked to me a little about… Read more »
Many sources are now saying the estimated IQ of America is about 98 at this point. If they are admitting to that I imagine the real national IQ is probably closer to 92.
As we discussed before, 98, 92, even 85 is a number that folk do not understand the basic ramifications of. But we are seeing them unfold.
There is no reason that people of that ilk can not have meaningful and contributing lives, but forming decisions on public policy in a 1st world, technological society is not one of them.

This is a good point. People reading Z-man and other like blogs are a cognitive elite for whom the fakeness/gayness of the Matrix is so screamingly obvious.
We are an extreme minority in our own echo chamber. Most people are absolute f’n idiots, really not much above animals.
Agree with the extreme minority and echo chamber.
Speaking for myself, however, I’m a LONG way from the cognitive elite (you don’t want me running your nuclear power plant or wiring your house). I’m from the Midwest: the best that can be said is I’m above average, along with everyone else from Lake Woebegone.
Mathematics is not the only standard of intelligence. Lots of smart computer/engineering nerds took the vax and are true believers in all that kind of stuff.
It takes a strong and discerning mind to see through these things.
I know a whole lot of ostensibly smart people who really should have understood all along that the masks we were and in some cases are still forced to wear could not possible stop the transmission of a respiratory virus.
Once I realized this unpleasant but fundamental truth, I stopped being angry. I think it has always been this way. It’s why democracy always fails and the reason our founding fathers gave us a republic instead. The best way to ensure the survival of your people is to ensure that there are no foreign wolves inside your polity who will attempt to wrest possession of the control nodes of civilization away from your homegrown shepherds. Even homegrown wolves are preferable, because eventually they can be replaced homegrown shepherds.
open society = rule by foreign predators
Frankly, just being people who read for entertainment puts us in a tiny minority. Looking at Tik Tok and the youtube “shorts” clone really hammers in the sheer stupidity of the bulk of the country. Not only do they have to rely on videos for information, but they can’t pay attention to anything that’s longer than 15 seconds. These people outnumber you and they vote. The very concept of democratic elections is laughable in this regard. No amount of trying to make an educated decision on your part is going to drown out the noise (technically bias in terms of… Read more »
The turnout in PA puzzles me. Like I said last night, traffic was crazy. I had to wait in line to vote, and I saw new faces. Also, anecdotally, big numbers from a couple of districts. Turnout in my county was down big from ‘20, not terribly surprising since it’s a midterm. Up a few thousand from ‘18, up over 40% from ‘10, comparing senate races. IF my mental math is right, also quick scan of election results from the state site: https://www.electionreturns.pa.gov/ Checked the headlines this morning, wondered how many more will now flee to FL, wondered if they’re… Read more »
“John Fetterman is as close as we have come to putting a horse in a Senate”.
Horse or Fetterman? If he’d had been around in Caligula’s day, it would’ve been a tough decision.
“The openness to voting for a brain damaged hobo should be a disqualification to voting. On the other hand, if the vote is rigged again, then there is no reason for people to bother voting”.
That is sound logic, for which the next logical step is:
“Turn off, tune out and drop out of a system that has nothing to offer”.
If I had voted yesterday and I had not been able to leave the field blank, I think I would have gone for Fetterman. As bad as Fetterman is, he’s not a Turkish Muslim living in New Jersey. I already didn’t like him before I watched the debate. He’s a total centrist run of the mill cuck. At least Fetterman will be good for the entertainment value. God knows we all need a good laugh.

I didn’t think there could be a silver lining in that cloud, but lo and behold, there it is.
Hat tip.
The whole “don’t vote so you won’t validate the system” idea doesn’t work with open borders. Not voting in 2020 allowed Biden to open the borders and bring in 5 million more POCs. That number will increase dramatically in the next few years. The muds from the south are the wild card, the game changer if you will. They will make your invalidation of the system of the system invalid. I realize Trump didn’t follow through with his promises, didnt build the wall, etc. but he at least , did not order his Border Patrol to ignore the laws they… Read more »
Come again? A record number of votes were counted in 2020 and you got the exact opposite of what you want and you think more voting will make a difference?
All I know is that 5 million more illegal aliens crossed the border in the last 18 months. 10 million more will cross before the next election. Maybe more. More and more sub Saharan Africans are arriving now and that number will continue to trend upwards. If a wave of POCs from Africa is not apocalyptic ,I dont know what is. Trump, despite his flaws and his tendency to not fulfill promises, would have at least required ICE and the BP to stop the flood.
Illegals do provide cover for the fake, pre-printed ballots.
Those, we call “virtual” voters.
Nixon represented a surge of white voters voting for their interests; 49 states, and he was hatchet-jobbed out.
Reagan represented the last resurgence of white interests. 49 states, we got the ’85 Amnesty with anchor babies and chain families.
A generation later, it’s too late to walk back the demographic tide.
I haven’t heard any serious squawking or resistance from the stupid party through all the gate crashing the last few years. What makes you think giving them majority power will change anything.
Remember when Trump took office. Think real hard and try to remember how much the republicans helped him. None. Really can’t believe people like you can still believe the nonsense you adhere to.
I will vote for someone who represents me. That applies to maybe 5-10% of the Republican candidates (one of whom, for all his faults at governing, was Trump). Maybe accelerationism is the only option we have.
There’s that old saw again—“Trump didn’t build the wall”. You’ve invalidated anything you’ve said with that whopper. The wall under Trump was doubled in size. He added 450 miles of new wall (give or take), but further he rebuilt the old wall of about 500 miles which had fallen into disrepair and was porous to IA’s.
Trump was deficient in many matters, but as to wall and IA prevention, he was the best we’ve had in decades.
OK, so there was a point to vote? Vote for Trump because he built part of the wall and most importantly he didn’t have an official policy of enforcement stand down at the border.
In late 2019 (calendar not fiscal year – three years in) the admin was forced to admit that the 78 miles of wall that had been built was replacement. https://tinyurl.com/ymesvjvx TBF, the Courts, the Uniparty and members of his own admin opposed him at every opportunity, but some of it’s on him. He signed no fewer than 12 spending bills w/o wall funding. Each time declaring he’d never do that again. He settled for DHS to change the definition of “new barrier” to include improvements (lighting or building roads accessing old barrier.) “Remain in Mexico” was more effective. https://tinyurl.com/y39sj925 Even… Read more »
Call me cruel, but I’m greatly enjoying the howls of rage and agony on GOPe sites like Instapundit. This utterly corrupt “nation” is unsalvageable, especially by the chronically worthless Republican Party.
“…either Oz lost because people thought he was just as ridiculous as Fetterman or partisanship has made elections in the state meaningless.”
Yep, we are seeing the same in AZ. One votes for the party, the candidates and their “peculiarities” (read competency) are meaningless. Problem is, unlike say the UK, we only permit two parties to have power. Therefore, whether the Dem’s or Rep’s lose, the *Uniparty* wins and *Democracy* loses. It’s every man for himself from here on.
You should visit places like Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Camden and a hundred other places and observe the natives. This will disabuse you of any notions of the good of “Democracy”
You know those homeless junkies wandering our streets and flinging poo at the local shop owners? They are all allowed to vote.
Oddly, they all need ID for the methadone clinic.
The results are an inevitable effect of demographic change. This is the huge elephant in the room, partly because it’s such a horrible and hopeless thing to confront. It’s not “White Liberals” fault (perhaps it is indirectly). The “fault” is the millions and millions of non-whites who vote Democrat at a 70-30 split, all the time, who have poured into the country over the decades. Their priorities are not the same as your priorities, and definitely are not what’s best for “America”. They have 2 goals: 1) open borders – bring in as many of their cousins / friends /… Read more »
You perfectly articulate my sentiment. Despite the no doubt omnipresent “creative accounting,” the real lesson is the demographics of the country have so shifted that there is no hope of a true conservative movement that represents white interests. Too many whites are compromised, and the demographic shift mitigates any pro white movement (as if the gop really represented that anyway). I have said before that I do not think Biden will be replaced, and I stand by that now. Why would they? We are witnessing the ushering in of the new unitary system. 2016 was the last real election, either… Read more »
“ The results are an inevitable effect of demographic change. ” Yep, but let’s extend that observation a bit further. The demographic change has produced a type of population *unsuited* for democracy. A democracy can only work within a moral and educated population. Moral in that they share a Christian ethos and educated in that they have the intellect for sufficient knowledge to understand and apply democratic principles. This was even a minority of the population of the Founders’ generation. Our Founders knew this at the time of the Revolution, but it was less of a concern because “universal” suffrage… Read more »
I completely agree, which is why I mention both the compromised (morally, ethically, and politically) whites and the dick chopping. My loss of faith in the people of this country leads me to my conclusions, and the election is simply confirmation. Again, I think people have no idea how dumb and immoral most (whites) are. I work in one of the whitest, most conservative, educated sections of the country. I work with hundreds of the nest and brightest young folk. And it is a scary world – they know nothing except climate change and racism are worse THAN HITLER!!!!! Not… Read more »
Sometimes ignorance *is* bliss. Actually, it probably always is. 😉 Wife *did* vote yesterday. I did not. She got up this morning and did some sewing—no radio tune in for results.

Shopping, getting nails done, etc. See you later was her reply, I’ll be back before dinner. Meanwhile I’m listening to the radio and commenting here. So I ask, “Who has the better grip on the situation?”… Read more »
I am not sure my wife knew there was an election. She works for gubernatorial, but stayed out yesterday as our youngest was sick. She takes no interest in that stuff. Probably is smarter.
*government, not gubernatorial. My phone or this website has been auto correcting like crazy. But to further, my wife has no social media and does not read the news, so I am not sure she does know.
Counterpoint: lots of white people have moved to PA to retire. Fortune Magazine acknowledges as much: https://fortune.com/2022/11/01/top-ten-best-places-to-retire-in-the-united-states-florida-pennsylvania/
Thing is, it’s gotten more diverse at the same time. I think it’s because these people like cheap servants, just like they enjoyed cheap labor and stuff in their career years.
I wonder what will happen when they’re gone.
The America we have known is dead as a door nail. We are in the looting phase. Grab all you can. This country has plainly stated its position on our right to even exist. We owe it nothing.
@B125
You saved me the trouble of having to type this all out. Demographics are destiny. There are simply not enough Americans who want to live in a free society anymore. Sure the politicians are all scum, but their mindless sycophants with blue hair and pussy hats are to blame.
Embrace the power of and. It was both massive demographic shift and fraud. For being a Canadian, you have a massive understanding of American politics and I enjoy your great comments on this site. But I think you should go back and look into the numerous ways several states have changed their voting laws on top of the perilously close races in many districts- this allows a few thousand votes here and there to very much swing entire states. Sadly, as has been pointed out, fraud will probably not even be necessary with the control of the population the regime… Read more »
In this post and on RamZPaul’s stream, Z Man expressed amazement that anyone could vote for the “brain damaged hobo,” Fetterman. Z Man said that this outcome is “proof that the public should never be trusted with such decisions.”
I guess I see the Fetterman vote the way that I see my friends who voted for Biden: they aren’t so much voting for the candidate but the team guiding the candidate. And to prevent a GOP victory, which would move us one step closer to fascism. (If only!)
I think that is true, but it is an argument against democracy. If all these people are is a robot that beeps blue or red, then why bother having people in these races? Just have colored squares. It is another example of how the arguments in favor of democracy contradict the logic of democracy.
Exactly. Idiocracy reigns supreme.
How could they vote for Giant Douche?? They know damn well that Turd Sandwich was the better candidate!
Isn’t that what they are currently doing with Fetterman and Biden and the others.
It almost seems a shit test to see how bad a possible candidate can be before it even registers as being insane.
They do not appear to have hit anywhere near that point yet.
I’ll play devil’s advocate and ask why any Pennsylvanian should be expected to vote for a carpetbagging, cultural and racial alien who probably has a direct line to Erdogan in Ankara?
TWGH, hopefully I’ve got a similar comment in the stack somewhere, which Z will eventually approve.
But I imagine that Z will be a very very busy editor for the rest of day, and maybe through the end of the week.
“I’ll play devil’s advocate and ask why any Pennsylvanian should be expected to vote for a carpetbagging, cultural and racial alien who probably has a direct line to Erdogan in Ankara?”
Agreed. If I lived in Pennsylvania, I would’ve stayed home, voted third party, or voted Fetterman for the lolz. If the GOP can’t put up a better candidate than an alien carpetbagging Romney, they deserve to lose.
Sure, liberal tears are sweet, but lately, I’ve found myself thirstier for GOP establishment tears. Screw those traitorous sh*tbags.
100%.
Really looking forward to having Team R explain to me why my vote is so important in 2024.
“Biden v. Trump II — You keep buying it, we’ll keep making it.”
Doubly so if I happen to be living in a swing state where the voting machines are openly bollocks-ed.
I didn’t vote for him, that’s for damn sure. He had an ad that claimed he would “support judges who interpret the law.” 🤣
Didn’t vote Fetterman either, but at least you know what you’re getting.
Not to worry, Zman. Trump will save everyone. We’ll show them in 2024! There will be a true red wave so enormous it will overwhelm their cheating. Because the system is sound; it’s just a few bad actors who have subverted it. We the people! If we just got back to following the constitution, everything would work as intended. And we need to turn back to God and normality. Of course, my neighbor has a gay son and he and his boyfriend are just wonderful, creative people.

Otherwise, your extension of the list would have covered one of the remaining bases, obviously.
“Just wait ’til next year, Charlie Brown! You’ll see! Next year at this same time, I’ll find a pumpkin patch that is REAL sincere and I’ll sit in that pumpkin patch until the Great Pumpkin appears. He’ll rise out of that pumpkin patch and he’ll fly through the air with his bag of toys. The Great Pumpkin will appear and I’ll be waiting for him! I’ll be there! I’ll be sitting there in that pumpkin patch… and I’ll see the Great Pumpkin. Just wait and see, Charlie Brown.”
That’s a great illustration of both the problem and the solution. We have tools at our disposal; tools that even today’s infantilized populace can understand. Stories like The Great Pumpkin are great examples. Most American adults could recap the plot of that simple, children’s cartoon, but how many of them understand the moral of the story as you just explained it? It should be a simple step to illustrate that their “vote harder” stance is akin to believing in the Great Pumpkin. It’s the lines of communication that we lack.

Ghostbusters?
Black, gay, disabled, cross-dressing Superman?
Beautiful – like our democracy. Well put, sir… well put.
Perfect. The vexx cull is too slow. When I feel hateful for thinking that I just remember that all those described above, including most of my heritage brothers, would eat my lunch, take my business, abuse my children, and banish me from the NAKBGEZ for my racisms – either out of satanic inverted morality or cowardice to save their own steak dinner. “Don’t let them divide us!” they cry out as they watch their moral betters punish my wrongthink. That is, between SEC football games and televised bass fishing.
“For the people hoping democracy lost the election, this is a good result. The exit polls show that over 75% of the vote was white” The key takeaway for me is the last full sentence there. Most Whites nationally are perfectly content with how things are. They are brainwashed to the point that diminished lifestyles and prospects do not bother them. Most “see no color.” Propaganda works and idiocy helps. I think there was very little cheating this time unlike 2020. There is no need for it.

Most Whites are simply lost, Glen. I’m not shocked at all. I’m not even certain famine and deprivation will move them. The brainwashing and religious fervor is off the charts.
Proof positive: Biden got bigger Congressional gains in the midterms than either Obama or Trump.
I’m not even sure that Canada is ahead in the toilet bowl contest anymore.
The birth rate of our people is probably higher in Canada now. Our country’s “low birth rate” is due to the low birth rate of the Asian immigrants and millions of Indian male students. We also have a much lower mixed-ethnicity marriage rate than the USA.
I guess at this point it is a question of if you prefer Pakistan or Brazil as your future.
The shenanigans are not over, and God-willing the Ds will find a way to retain the House too. If so, even the most addled normie will come to see that the system is irrevocably broken and voting harder is a fools errand. This is the only possible “win” to be had in this election. Things have to get much worse before they can get better. And as they get worse, everyday people will get more stressed and pushed to the limit.

3g4me, for some reason, as I read your words, I have an image of you as a young mother administering bitter medicine to your children. I bet you were good at it.
Line: Actually, no – I wasn’t. I love babies and young children and am more than patient with them. It is as they become teens and adults, and trying to reason with them and make them face their own innate strengths and weaknesses that frustrates me immensely.
I expect adults to think and behave as adults – I adore reading fantasy and various sorts of fiction, but I never confuse it with reality. And, as I have noted before, I expect no more from others than I do from myself. “Live not by lies.”
“The answer is separation from the system – educational, political, financial, social.”
Might I add simply, separation…*mentally*! Practically all I’m hearing and now reading are thoughts from people who are “disappointed” in their expectations wrt the election. Why? Because you put faith in a miracle. You still have vestiges of belief in a system that functionally disappeared years ago.
I must plead to this myself. One day at a time. One day at a time…. We are all recovering addicts here, some more along the road to recovery than others.
The plan, as they’ve said out loud repeatedly, is for the House to refuse to seat members who are MAGA guys—”insurrectionists.” That’s why the Democrats funded some decent Republican candidates. The GOP wasn’t doing it.
The ratings failure of the Jan 6 tv show may have put the plan on hold, but I doubt it. Our rulers don’t do contingencies. Expect nonsense involving Trump-endorsed House winners in red states where the uniparty wants to test Republican loyalty/weakness.
I’d point out some specific races, but I literally can’t find non-paywalled election results anywhere. Nice internet.
Florida, presumably.
Just Google “Florida election results” and it’s all there. DeSantis cruised to victory (okay, fine) and Rubio won handily (meh). Basically red all over the place.
Good I guess.
They don’t have to worry about that with Boebert.
They got her with a rootless cosmopolitan carpetbagger from NYC.
Maybe running candidates who present as wannabe country music stars/ girls with guns instaTHOTS isn’t the way to go. Not breaking new ground here, but Sarah Palin-lite never did inspire much confidence.
Maybe the political parties could actually run on issues the public likes – for example medicare for all, ending stupid wars, anti-corruption enforcement etc..
And if one of you thinks medicare for all is not popular, you need to get out of this corner of the internet and actually go talk to people. And this includes you, Mr. Z-man.
It is popular in your corner of the internet for sure, but it is highly unpopular with people in the Medicare system. Seniors will tolerate no threats to their healthcare system. It is one reason both parties have no interest in the issue. The other issue is that the people who promote Medicare for all give normal people the creeps. A bad salesman can kill even the bets product.
zman: And if you don’t sign up for Medicare at 65, you will pay 10% more for the rest of your life, and will find it nearly impossible to get any other private coverage. My husband has talked with coworkers and customers who’ve told them of their travails. I’ll be 64 in a few weeks and don’t have any plans to sign up for anything – but people should know their old age panacea is as mythical as their democracy.
3g4me, according to the darwinists, you are descended from approximately 4.5 billion years’ of ancestors, who only in the last 500 million years came to resemble creatures with organic structures noticeably more complex than those of single-celled bacteria & yeasts & the like. Do you study genealogy at all? Ever spend any time walking around in the local church cemeteries? Ever wonder who those people were who are now buried in those cemeteries?

I don’t wish to add to thread jacking and turning election disappointment to “Medicare for all” discussion. But I will. 😉
Those who want such must understand that nothing is free and complete control of medical treatment always results in rationing of care (for dirt people).
If you are not old, you some day will be. Nothing to me is more abhorrent than being put on a waiting list for, or worse denied, care—especially at my age where such comes into play.
It used to be ‘VA system for all’ until they pretty much killed off the VA system with incompetence, etc.
“Medicare for all” is similar cherry picking as the system kinda sorta works as it’s filled with old White people who, while expensive to maintain, don’t waste people’s time and play by the rules. Flooding the system with foreigners and other lay-abouts would kill it off as instead of medical professionals barely breaking even on the patients they would be sunk. (The tell of course is that they don’t pitch “Medicaid for all”).
Brilliant point— next time I hear someone yap about Medicare 4A I’ll have to rejoin with Why Not Medicaid 4A. Isn’t the government so great at PR campaigns to explain all these marvelous favors it does me, like free college
I wonder if the seniors and those who are about to be understand that POC are or shortly will be, heavily preferenced in health distribution systems.
White people will be heavily preferenced / selected for demise due to withheld healthcare.
Your bigger problem with be the influx of AA doctors. If a Medicare for all policy takes hold, you’ll get quotas on steroids for such folk and you’ll have to use them or do without treatment.
The really big problem w/ Medicare is the fraud. A lot of it is foreign/ docs over-billing for services that were never provided on behalf of people in no position to advocate for themselves. Where I live the hospitals will send you to “rehab” once you’re not critical, regardless of your age. Those places should be investigated.
Is it possible that “diversity” and mass immigration play a role in Medicaire for all as a no-touch issue. It is one thing if a people has a common culture and a common set of values.

Calling it “medicare for all” instead of “medicaid for all” is such an obvious rhetorical mistake, they must have made it on purpose.
Medicare’s reputation is terrible. Medicaid’s is neutral. There are no “medicaid horror stories.” It didn’t let anyone’s grandma die or force her to go to Mexico to buy pills.
“After all, elections pivot on the ability of people to change their minds from election to election.”
This is the key point. People don’t change religions, ffs. The Democrats in my neck of the woods, and I think also nationally, are not a party but a religion. So now the election here is like an election in Iraq: screeching Shiites out-voting ululating Sunnis. And we will get similar results as Iraq……
Yup. And our candidates for voating in that one are clear too. We can vote with our feet or our rifles. And sometimes the foot option is not viable.
As much as I hate to say it, overturning Roe really galvanized the religious fanatics on the left to vote. Doesn’t mean it was the wrong thing to do, but it made the left go nuts and your squishy right-wingers say, “well, I hate abortion, but it seems a little EXTREME to overturn a 70’s SC decision.”
Like Z said though, it’s pretty much immaterial. The problem is the system, and the system is democracy.
I think widespread mail in voting has been an unmentioned factor in some of these races as well. As much as demographic changes matter, the Democrats have done better with low info voters for decades. They are more likely to vote if they can just send it in and not wait in line. Of course, a society would have to be suicidal insane to think these people should be voting, but that’s the one we live in today.
The place to start with mail voting is the assumption that it is mostly fake. In cities, party workers go around and have people on the rolls sign ballots months in advance of the election. Those ballots are then filled out and mailed in over time. It is called ballot harvesting and it increasingly common. Florida was an outlier last night and they actively prohibit ballot harvesting. Go figure.
Right, you look at areas like the Somali section of Minneapolis and the voting rates should be close to zero. The people don’t speak English and know nothing about our system of government and aren’t interested in it. They are obviously handing over ballots to Democratic operatives to be cast for them or they are getting picked up out of the trash.
The DOJ tried to send people into Florida poling stations but DeSantis told them to GTFO. There was no reason for the feds to try this other than some mischief.
I sat out the election myself. There were some local elections but nothing I cared enough about to bother. Plus I just don’t give a damn about democracy or republican government anymore.
AZ prohibits ballot harvesting as well—and where did that get us in 2020, nowhere. They allow ballots to be placed in unguarded collection boxes and those were stuffed. The evidence abounds. Folks have been indicted and plead guilty. Yet, these boxes still remain.
Call me a nutter or a sore loser if you want, but I hate mail in ballots. Vote by mail is simply a scam pure and simple. Let me quote from a post of mine currently stuck in moderation at Steve Sailer’s blog: “ Not to sound too cheesy but remember when you were a kid and schoolteachers were trying to hammer in the importance of voting? They’d tell you how men fought and died for our right to vote etc etc In a similar vein my local newspaper ran a cartoon on the op-ed page years ago. It showed… Read more »
It has become a circular problem. We can’t ban ballot harvesting until we win big in a state, like Florida. But we can’t win a state that already has ballot harvesting, like PA. PA might as well be CA as far as future prospects go.
My husband wanted to watch the returns last night, so we clicked around on YouTube to find some live coverage. I think we were watching NBC when they did a sob story about a paralytic who breathed through a tube, who legally challenged the absence of mail-in voting because it violated his right to vote (supposedly he couldn’t do it any other way). I said that no one would face the hard fact that if mail-in (or online) voting enabled massive fraud, then shouldn’t a good citizen accept the sacrifice of his own vote for the common good? It was… Read more »
Dr. Mabuse:
Interesting. This poor paralytic can’t get to the polls in his telling but I bet he could find rides to court for lawsuits, rides to protests etc
I hate mail-in ballots/vote-by-mail. It’s a scam, pure and simple.

There has been a discussion of vote in person for say, one work week. That allows a variety of times to show up, or await a ride to a polling place. Not a bad idea. But 30 days and a ballot in the Mail? No way.
I reluctantly voted. There’s enough people where I work that are earnest YT folk who believed in civic virtue. I fell for it. I should have seen it coming from a million miles away. We originally had the police chief from Detroit throwing his hat in the ring as a Republican. Then the firm that was hired by many politicians including him, was found to be corrupt and the candidates were declared ineligible. Funny that afterwards, he disappeared like a fart in the wind and did not stump for any candidate. Then during the primaries, we had a used car… Read more »
The Ann Arbor and Detroit political machines are unstoppable. After the flub in 2016 they put mechanisms in place to make sure it never happens again.
There are pockets of based people all over the state, far more than when I was younger, but we will never even convince a majority of people. Luckily, the little hat people have shown how effective you can be even as an extreme minority if you know how to play your cards.
My impression is that the Detroit machine is so dominant they barely need to lift a finger in Grand Rapids, Flint, or Saginaw.
It looks like controlling the judiciary is the key to getting the best opposition disqualified.
Too bad about Tudor though. Despite her somewhat silly background she seemed like a halfway pleasant person.
I figured this would happen. The scale of it is the only thing that shocks me. I think this “election” would disabuse normie of any notion that our elections are free and fair. In too many of these states, people can vote for days (early voting), register the same day, mail in their “ballot” and other shenanigans that ensure the usual suspects win every time. It’s rigged. And even if the usual BS wasn’t happening, demographics and the movement of people from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic to places like Georgia and North Carolina and from California to Arizona and Nevada… Read more »
Collapse, probably. But then the two wolves and a sheep come to play. You and I are the “sheep”. Sheep get sheared. Desperate times require even more “sharing” of resources. That’s you and me and any number of others commenting here—and it doesn’t help that you are White in a sea of Brown. When the Dane Gelt to the Brown/Black masses dries up, we can expect them to help themselves.
Here in AZ, our Republican candidates were actually good which is why the Democraps came after them so hard. And also why Dominion decided to malfunction in the middle of these hotly contested races.
Before the election, I thought Kari Lake vs. Katie Hobbs would be a bellwether of cheating. Lake is clearly a much more impressive candidate compared to Hobbs, plus recently held a double digit lead in the polls. No doubt a stolen election.
No enough info on theft yet, but regardless the process is broken. I believe this observation to be “self-evident”—how could such a statement be made if the process was observably “bullet-proof”.
That’s what I keep driving at. Of course, as widely commented upon here, there seems no way for the system to fix itself wrt voting process. The only way to obtain the support to fix the process is for the process to fail the Dem’s. In order for that to occur, the Rep’s would have to cheat better than the Dem’s. 🙁
If you are a Pennsylvania resident (such as myself), what do you do? In my opinion, you just work on making your small town or suburb better in your own way. The local politics path has been trashed on routinely, but I don’t see why. Its an important component that you actually matter in. National politics is effectively over. State politics matters depending on which state you live in. Pennsylvania is mired by Philly’s sheer volume in vote representation, but its not hopeless. Even in New York, I was surprised at how close Zeldin got to winning. California is the… Read more »
What must be done? Work to organize locally and publicly boycott elections. If 20% of people publicly reject the system the system will collapse if it does not go through a massive overhaul. Ruling classes only respond when they feel threatened. The current system is designed to prevent them from being threatened. That means the only option is to boycott the system.
I don’t know exactly when, but there will be a point where parts of the US are going to have to go through a “reform”, not a massive overhaul or revival of our country, but a reform just to keep the lights on. The path we are on is not sustainable.
That does not happen plenty of places in Europe where the voting turnout is less than 50%.
I think Romania is down to 30% and it makes no difference.
What is the ratio where you expect this to manifest?
Sorry, but not voting won’t do squat. It wont change anyone’s mind. It will simply lock in the the other side even more. More people not voting means we will get D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood.
For example, abortion. I am ambivalent on it but many here are opposed to it. Not voting for DJT means no Gorsuch, BK or ACB and no overturn of Roe v Wade.
Roe definitely was not a victory for our preferred demographics. I enjoyed the wailing and gnashing of teeth as well, while also finding it barbaric, but it did our side no favors long term.
Yes. There should be an abortion clinic on every corner of the ghetto, with fully subsidized services, and shiny new Cadillac give-aways for signing off on the sterilization clause.
Capital pike just beeped seven times, I think he needs his diaper changed. I keep saying if Karen bass wins I’m leaving LA, I’m getting old and will be preyed upon soon, if Gavin Newsom wins the big one,I’m leaving the country, I’m getting old and will be preyed upon soon. My wife smiling from the kitchen says we can always go to live with her people in Taiwan.

As a native Californian (fourth generation at that), I was packed up and moved out to The Great and Sovereign State of Tennessee thirty years ago. Hell, the whole extended family made the move. My mother is from Tennessee. The old man has begged some of his based friends to bail on California, but to no avail. They could sell their home for enough money to buy a nice safe piece of land and live happily ever after, but nooooooooo, they can’t wrap their heads around leaving. The red states are getting redder, and the blue states are getting bluer.… Read more »
A fair amount of Right wing white men wind up marrying Asian women. Strange times.
I guess it’s because lots of Asian women like white men and lots of white women are feminist monsters.
Demographic destiny continues to tighten its grip. Normies and grillers just don’t understand just how much the country has changed since 1985. Economics drives elections is old-think, true in the past but largely irrelevant now. Today, people vote their tribes. And that means most voters are not persuadable.
As Z pointed out, Milestone, this isn’t even a case of demographics. The electorate was far whiter than the country. Our people like things as they are.
I’m not sure anyone likes things as they are. I simply think whites have been funneled into three camps. One for each wing of the uniparty and one group that is dropping out. The big drop off in voting this election is what should inspire us. Lots of people are waking up this morning wondering what was the point of voting. That is what we want to see.
Seventy-five percent of the electorate was White and that speaks for itself. Yesterday likely is the whitest the electorate ever will be, too. Will there be more people like us who do not vote? Some, sure. But nothing, and I mean nothing, will dramatically increase who drops out of the system. I hope I am wrong there but sincerely doubt it. Things are about to get far, far worse. It probably will not matter as to how people respond. Some states and regions are not lost, and will resist, but we may be at the highwater mark of internal separation.… Read more »
You are correct. It is irrational to believe that refraining from voting will have any impact at all.
With all due respect, I still don’t see how an overall drop in participation from 30% to 25% will change anything. TPTB would be perfectly happy not needing to spend all those millions on ballot harvesting. I don’t see a new dissident party rising up from the ashes of the RINO party. I agree voting is mostly useless, but don’t have an alternative path either. Maybe dropping out of voting while also undermining the system every way we can could be useful, like a dissident Atlas Shrugged. But I still don’t see any hope on the horizon.
Our school board and local municipal elections have voter turnout way below 20%. They still operate like they have a mandate from the Almighty himself. I don’t see how dropping out of voting alone helps either.
“Most ppl vote their tribe.”
…except white ppl.
So a certain amount of what I labeled as demographics is what I’d call unpersuadables. Fetterman in PA illustrates that there is a large portion of the voting public that will vote D regardless who the candidate is. I suspect this not as much the case on the R side, though I know a *lot* of people in Georgia who held their nose and voted for Hershall Walker simply because he was R. (and to be fair, if I still lived in Georgia I would have too) So I suppose it goes both ways in concept, but in execution …… Read more »
