Keep an eye on whats going on in Virginia.

Apparently some conservatives WERE energetic enough in 2015 to put D. Trump in the White House instead of Hillary. For good or ill, but folks need to take a lesson from it. I'm thinking the anti-Trumpers are going to mobilize in droves to try to put him out on his ear. If Americans want something to happen, the ONLY way we have legally is at the ballot box, and campaigning for what you want takes time and effort.

Some who might be considered a little disenfranchised might complain that people on 'the dole' have plenty of free time to put out signs and knock on doors for candidates whom will continue to expand the social programs they depend upon, while business owners and blue-collar workers are too busy working, producing, paying taxes and raising their families to spend all that time on the campaign trail. Some might say these things... some might not.

We got the government we deserved back then because folks made it happen...instead of ranting on the internet with conspiracy theories and making excuses for losses at the ballot box.

Like was mentioned earlier, if folks in Virginia had been this energetic about the election they might not be in this boat now.

What conspiracy theories are you talking about? Spell them out please.
The media is full of them, I just want to hear what you consider conspiracy.

You DO know what gerrymandering is right? Did you bother to see how that might have led to the current situation in Virginia, especially when it occurred in the heavily DSA/dnc areas of the state making several more seats in the VA state house that are ALL held in those same heavily DSA/dnc controlled areas. But hey it's easier just to blame those smelly Walmart shopping deplorables then to actually do some fact checking before placing blame on the citizens of VA.

So they got what they deserved and you can sit with smug indignation as the DSA/dns Gestapo come and bust your door down and carry away all your arms, because Hey your just getting what you deserve right.

You know that Republicans gerrymander too, right?

As urban populations rise and the liberal head count outpaces the conservatives, more liberal policies will be put in place.

How does that equal conservatives getting the government they deserve?

You have to win the war of ideas. If you can’t or won’t do that, who is ultimately responsible for that failure?

A central tenant of conservative values is the belief in individual accountability...

Work harder or don’t cry about the outcome. Crying about the outcome is what the left has been doing since 2016.

So, you're saying that you think someone who believes only police should own guns, like Bloomberg and his minions, can be convinced that they're 180 degrees wrong?

I'm not saying changing people's minds isn't a worthy cause, but teaching pigs to dance is usually a losing proposition.

Bloomberg and his minions can change their minds. It's not likely they will, but its possible.

The target audience is those who are open minded enough to hear the arguments, and be persuaded by the good ones. They exist.

 

[chuter]

I agree that those people with changeable minds are out there.
Events like the recent church tragedy in TX might have changed some minds, and I'm surprised it got the favorable press that it did.

Even though I cringed when Wayne LaPierre said "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun", that simple phrase has stayed around and the truth of it does make it to the media at times.

The "Guns Save Lives" stickers that the folks in Virginia are wearing is a good idea.

I still don't agree that it's always true that people get the government they deserve.
Sometimes that pig just won't dance.
Did the Native Americans get the government they deserved?
