The universal sign of distress is flying your national flag upside down. Of course, it helps if your flag is asymmetric so the viewers can tell the difference.
The American heritage begins with the British. It began with the Magna Carta. We speak English. Now we see authoritarian rule becoming the norm in the UK, Australia and Canada. And it is creeping into the US. Canada and Australia are embracing communism but calling it democratic socialism. Those in power are using the martial law they implemented for the Pandemic to stay in power and even increase that power. The UK is just weird. I know, I lived there for five years. But now in the US, the Democratic Party is turning the Government against the People. However, Americans are not weird, we are independent and loath collectivism. The Heartland is passionate about that.
The Democratic Party’s embrace of the destructive BLM riots while continuing its attack on the January 6th protestors is just wrong. Half the country supported the Capitol protestors but not the instigators of the assault on the Capitol itself. And President Trump should have calmed things down, not stir things up. But that’s just him. Policies good, Personality bad --but consistent. He still thinks it’s about him. It isn’t. It is about the all-out attack on Individual Freedom by the Democrats and the Media. And now more than half the country knows that fact, not just half. By more than half the country I mean conservatives, true liberals, enlightened independents, suburban mom’s, as well as Blacks and Hispanics who are awakening, not “awokening.”
The Democrats have to be shown the door. We do that through the honest election process. At least it once was sort of honest, not perfect, but improving. However, the question on the level of honesty was the reason for the Capitol protests in the first place. Voter ID is one way to keep it honest. Democrats don’t like honesty, just power. And more power means more corruption. Or something like that.
Good thoughts, Martin. Historical doubts as to whether Stalin actually said, "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." We like Voter IDs, but if most of the same voting machines are still in place with the possibility of flipping votes -- and few notice (as in 2020), your legal vote for your candidate could be switched to somebody else. Neither party seems too motivated to actually overhaul the entire system -- a few bandaids here and there do not solve the problems.
