Trump Going Into Beast Mode 'Dissident Donald' will be rising now for real.
BLUF:
[American Greatness] Under the Harris Administration, "The Process of Trump" will continue apace. As outlined in my book The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed, that process consists of "action and counteraction, force and counterforce in the service of liberty." It’ll see Trump, a political Samson, continue to threaten to bring the rotting house crashing down on its patrons. And he’ll do so as the parallel president.

Democracy is when everything is up for grabs without constitutional limits. Globalism is an extension of that. Trump has exposed globalism as democracy on a global scale, funded by Americans.

Trump’s latest, inadvertent victory is to unmask raw, ripe, unfettered democracy as a travesty to all, unworkable except in a territory the size of the ancient Athenian polis, or maybe modern-day Monaco, at most Liechtenstein or Estonia.

Democracy is toxic, from both party perspectives—especially since we no longer have a republic where the central authority has limited and delimited powers.

Distilled, this is the meaning of the elections: 78,753,368 people, or 51 percent of those who voted, not of the people, get to impose their will on 73,119,410, or 47.3 percent of the voters, as well as on the millions who didn’t vote.

The healthiest and most intuitive response to deep-seated, irreconcilable unhappiness—political or personal—is to peacefully exit the abusive relationship.

Above and beyond holding rallies and countering the Harris Administration’s policies, Donald J. Trump will catalyze many more creative, informal acts of secession. Patriots will congregate in compounds of like-minded individuals. They’ll migrate virtually to Parler, the free speech social network. And they’ll withdraw en masse from the miseducation system (primary, secondary, and tertiary).

Two parallel nations and attendant presidencies will form. The low-grade upheaval against the deep state and Big Tech will continue apace. And the sprawling political machine that makes up the D.C. Comitatus will keep writhing like a fire-breathing mythical monster in the throes of death. All good things.

To borrow and bowdlerize William Butler Yeats’ "The Second Coming" (1865-1939): "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; mere [secession] is loosed upon the world."

#2 "Dissidents"
Samizdat [Parler]
Underground

There is no other way to comprehend the slow-motion waking nightmare that we are now enduring.

We no longer have a free and independent press. Almost half the nation has no knowledge of the spectacular corruption of the Biden family and the risk to national security posed by Joe and Hunter Biden's depravity and stupidity.

We no longer have free and fair elections. For the first time since Bleeding Kansas 185 years ago, we now vote under the cloud of threats of political violence. Vote for Biden -- or else we'll kill you and destroy your town.

We just saw a massive fheft involving over half a million obviously, ridiculously fraudulent absentee ballots delivered only after midnight, only marked for Biden, only in four Democrat-dominated cities and only those cities where these Potemkin ballots could sway the state and also the national outcome.

As in Ceausescu's Romania or Chavista Venezuela, we're told that these magical results transformed the most piss-poor, non-campaign we've ever seen - a masked dotard sitting in his basement and calling off each day's speeches and campaign events shortly after breakfast - that this lying, senile buffoonish lizard who severely underperformed even Hillary managed nonetheless to miraculously, wildly outperform her only in those four cities.

Only in Detroit (but not Cleveland), Philadelphia (but not Baltimore or NYC), Atlanta (but not Miami), Milwaukee (but not Chicago), Las Vegas (but not LA).

This is Brezhnevian shit.
We are now living in a lite version of Brezhnev's Soviet Union.

All hail Leonid Ilyich!
Praise the Revolution -- and pass the crackpipe!

#3 So Trump might really mean it. He might even hire a tenacious pit bull such as Bill Barr to lead his legal team.

#4 Forget Trump. He's just Emmanuel Goldstein, a convenient target for Two Minutes Hate. We're on our own now.

Trump's m.o. is useless for this next phase.

The challenges this country faces -- restoring fair and free elections, destroying the media blackout and ending the stranglehold of incurably mendacious Big Tech companies, creating a large and alternative high-quality educational system as public education collapses during and post-COVID -- these will require sustained effort by 109 million Americans over many decades. Bullshit artists and blatherers need not apply.

This isn't pamphleteering, summer-soldier time. It's winter now. Think Valley Forge -- and extend it by thirty or forty years.

#5 Yes, it is winter. Take the ice for all three periods and play hard, or you will find unpunished political retribution we only hear about from refugees. Hockey is not a solo game. The point is to not have a Valley Forge.

Or give it a shrug, cede the ice for the 3 period, and sit in your bedroom watching Fix News, hoping this is the day Uncle Joe lets you out of the 8th week of 4-6 week confinement, with the occasional visit from Yum! Food Deliver, Federal Contact Tracers, or Green Smart Utility Caregivers.

#7 I haven’t heard any complaints about Ohio’s elections, which has Republican control in both houses of the legislature as well as the governor. So the path is clear, if there should be a Biden administration: use control at the state level to clean up as many states as possible, regardless of what is happening in Washington, DC, and make their equipment and procedures as robust as can be done.

The following come to mind: voter rolls cleaned up annually of the dead, unconfirmed addresses, moved, and multiple registrations; mandatory photo ID for mandatory in-person voting on Election Day only, with absentee ballot exceptions only for the military and those with a doctor’s note, and then only those received at the board of elections —not postmarked, but received — on Election Day by the time polls close; all precinct workers to have a poll watcher from each party parked within two feet of the worker; all voting machines disconnected from the internet from one week before Election Day until the vote count is complete; hourly printout of vote totals made and notarized throughout election day, hand written if printout capabilities are not available, and the notarized physical printouts included with the flash drive containing the information delivered from each precinct to the county board of elections, with notarized copies sent to the office of the state secretary of state.

And the purple finger thing. Why should the Iraqis have all the fun?

#11 CNN is a train wreck. I am glad a ATT lost their arse on CNN. CEO's on Wall Street are bankrupt idiots. This is what you get for supporting Dim "Let's lockdown main street."

#12 What is the necessity for voting machines, at all?

It's a way to automate cheating. Stealing votes at wholesale keeps the cost and required manpower down.
