Musk wants a chip in every arm too, so maybe it's time to abandon such platforms that want you borg-ified, like Twitter. Every time folks go crawling back, they demean themselves and teach the abuser that censorship makes for more compliant users.

The election has sealed the deal for me. My eyes are open. These people want the chains and the locks and the bars. They choose a life of “security” and no longer have an awareness of the concept of freedom. It is a meaningless word to them. Time for us to retreat to our parallel societies. We can no longer waste our breath on them as they don’t want to hear.

Joel, the numbers are rigged so badly and so broadly, you cannot say this. We 100 do not deserve any of the abuse we've seen -- globally -- these past few years especially, but I'd argue in our lifetimes. I believe at this point we never actually gave our "consent" by our votes to those purporting to "govern" us. I believe now it has been rigged for a long, long time all over the world. I can tell you from years and years working in election integrity, the ways in which this happens is nefarious and riddled throughout the voting systems. Some countries are better than others, clearly, but it's obvious now puppets have been installed everywhere around the globe. That's very likely not a new phenomenon. Much of the manipulation to official "counts" is undetectable even in an "audit," which can also be rigged.

The cabal doing the rigging also owns the media reporting the "results." So they can essentially just tell the public whatever nonsense they choose. As long as we believe what media "reports," we are screwed.

At this point, here in the US, I think the shock of the awareness of just how bad it is is really sinking in now. As one post I read said, "it's not even remotely believable, even for normies."

My mantra at election time has been: No matter whom you vote for, a politician gets in.

People get what they deserve in a democracy. Protect yourselves and your families as best you can given the context. There are all sorts of things that people can consume in our free societies that are essentially legalized poison when used in significant dosage. Sugary food and drinks are likely the number one addictive killer in the USA. Tobacco. Social media. Credit cards when not paid off monthly. Pay day loans. Lotteries. Status symbol goods that marketers tell you will bring you joy, but rarely do (eg, expensive cars, clothes, watches/jewelry, etc). Alcohol. Pornography. C19 vaccines/boosters are just the newest poison that we need to avoid. It was the mandates that really got my attention...other than that, people have a right to make their own decisions about what poisons to introduce to their daily experiences. We tried to warn them...they ridiculed us. Time to focus on our own health.

That about sums it up. As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water.... This lesson will need to be learned the hard way. If your watching the Netflix special "Dopesick", you will not have to watch the future series about the COVID-19 vaccines since we lived or not through it.

There's a theory that the injections ruin your prefrontal lobe. Even my mother justified fetterman as only just stroke damage and was okay. She lives in California. The media is killing us. I listen to the debate between fettermen and Oz, It was embarrassing for federman and now for the citizens of pa.. My point is the media has set the playbook for everybody that's influenced which I'm guessing is most. My mother has always followed the herd

Exactly right. Many of us hoped that three years of completely unnecessary hell would shake blue-state voters out of their stupor. Clearly it was not. This means only one thing: it's time to circle the wagons.

At least in the US, we have lived as if a republic operates on auto pilot. We did not heed the warnings of those who founded the country. What other outcome is possible?

It's all a psyop isn't it. Just when you think Musk might be doing some good at Twitter by cutting out the rot, along comes the irrefutable evidence that the rot is still very much in place.

The US midterms are a psyop. We have very strong circumstantial evidence of rigged elections in several states, but if you point this out, you're an 'election denier'. But was voter fraud so pervasive across the entire nation that it turned a red wave into barely a red ripple? Some say yes, some say no, but they're all just conspiracy theorist election deniers squabbling amongst themselves so we can forget them and just move on. If there wasn't a mass steal, then this implies that the American people are brain-dead, voting across the board for a corrupt Biden regime which has demonstrably harmed the nation and its people and continues to do so. This is not inconceivable because the republican opposition have also demonstrated themselves to be corrupt, so when presented with a binary choice between two evils, people just vote for the evil they've always voted for. That will certainly be the case in the UK when Labour win the next General Election after having told us all that they are going to destroy the nation harder and faster than the fake Conservatives.

There's no way out of this hole that's been dug, not that I can see, not with the current systems of voting. The results are always going to be rigged, one way or the other, either through direct fraud or manipulation of voter apathy or the presentation of no choice. The only answer is stop voting because you either get what you voted for or you don't, but either way, they win and the people lose.

Alternative to Oz in PA Repub primary was Dave McCormick, a West Point grad and Hedge fund manager married to a former Trump national security advisor. Trump endorsed Oz for some reason. Older clients of mine involved in State politics and admin are moderate Dems liked McCormick and were personal acquaintances. McCormick shot a campaign spot at our local sportsman's club and was reported to be friendly and proficient with firearms. Missed opportunity for PA endorsing TV personality over former military and connected family man in my opinion.

It is not that simple. Morons vote for dictatorship and problems for all citizens. Prudent people are affected my deservingly. The are no fair elections and won’t be in the future. Cessation or gulags for conservatives are the future.
