Durham better start arresting people soon. He can’t wait until Labor Day. July has to be the month.

Question is who is buying those guns? Most of the right did those purchases during the O’Bama years. I suspect these are indys, moderates and red-pilled democrats. I would sure be interested in targeting these people for Trump in the 2020 campaign on the law & order issue. Cheers –

I think it’s kind of awkward having the ambiguous reference to Democrat-run states & cities up there on the flag, but the politicized color scheme was just a media-initiated ploy to keep their Party from being publicly labelled what they are now showing themselves to be: socialists, and, in some cases, outright Communists.

The red-blue shift is going to seriously confuse historians someday, assuming there are any in the future, which there won’t be if the “party like it’s 1984” faction achieves its aims for a hostile take-over of the country.

Longtime conservatives can hardly believe they’re now fighting a last-ditch battle to conserve the basic rights of free speech, private property, and presumed innocence. We have to fight to preserve history, and even to keep the police.
But that IS unquestionably where we are right now, and if you aren’t fighting tooth and nail against the all-out Democrat war against free speech, property, the rule of law, history, and the police, you are not “conservative” in any meaningful sense.
…This is not even slightly ambiguous or nuanced. The Left has made it all VERY clear.

There have been times when complicated arguments about the definition of conservatism have been necessary. This is not one of those times. Every single thing we ever thought was vital for a healthy, just, and prosperous society is under sustained attack by the extreme Left.
…
This election should be a binary choice: vote Republican, vote Trump if you want to have police, free speech, capitalism, the rule of law, and the tiniest shred of historical memory and tradition. Vote Democrat if you want none of those things and you’re up for Mao’s Year Zero.
Anyone nominally on the Right or in the GOP who clouds that choice, anyone who doesn’t make it crystal clear through every word and deed between now and Election Day, is helping to kill off conservatism. There won’t be anything left to conserve. No more choices, only echoes.
…
Again, we’re talking about the basic pillars of society, the key elements of our Constitutional system, the core concepts of liberty and justice under direct attack. If you won’t fight for those things, proudly and passionately, then what the hell are you “conserving?”
That also goes for the people who don’t understand what a desperate battle this is, the folks who assume some silent majority of shy Trump voters has this election in the bag, no matter what the polls say today. Trump is blowing this election and EVERYTHING is on the line.
…
You can’t conserve America by fighting for little bits and pieces of it, here and there, picking only the easiest battles and falling back when the Left gets violent – or picking only the fights that benefit your personal political goals or policy preferences.

The Left knows this, which is why they spent decades teaching generations of our young people the opposite lesson: America is uniquely and irredeemably evil, everything we value is hypocritical and corrupt, enlightened totalitarianism has never really been given a fair chance.
They spent decades bullying conservatives and Republicans out of making populist or moralist appeals. This allowed the Left to seize populism and moralism entirely for itself, virtually unopposed. Now it makes moral arguments for violence and oppression.

Against that kind of onslaught, playing defense just means losing slowly. Making deals with the aggressors only slows them down until they don’t see any further point in honoring the deal. Hoping “moderates” are somehow lurking behind the extremists is delusional.
Assuming that sensible people will just wake up and vote against extremism is also delusional. Those people are being made to feel helpless and isolated. Surrender is their only reasonable option, the only way to get back to normal. Trump isn’t giving them much to fight for.

Whatever your reason for sitting 2020 out are – whether you hate Trump, or you ARE Trump and you can’t get your act together, or you’re a Republican looking to cut a deal with the New Order – if you don’t grasp the stakes and start playing to win, you aren’t conservative. /end

(Yes, I know the title on the link and on the cover-art at the link says 1938-44. I still have my copy and it is 1940-45. I don’t the difference between the versions.)

The game has resolution tables like 10.71 Harassment, 13.36 Investigation, 14.34 Interrogation, and of course 12.82 OKW Panic.

It seems we are watching the professionals play The Plot to Oust Trump 2016-20. Waiting for the Mail-in Vote Fraud resolution roll of the die but the Roberts Court has been captured by the Deep State. They get a +6 modifier, I think.

And it looks like Pink-Shirt-AR-Guy gets to roll two, one for Harassment and one for Investigation.

It is going to be a bumpy ride. Keep your hands and feet inside the car and your seat-belt fastened at all times. And no, you can’t get off.
