I found out about Garvey and will be voting for him in the primary, and hopefully in November as well.
Actual local politics with names and histories—so much more work than spouting my opinion in a comment or blog or X.

You can put your own skull in your own dark place.

It is that or prepare to bend the knee.

Do you have a suggestion to counter this problem??
Or did I miss something?
I’m very serious.

They will win the election even if there is a recession this Summer. They hold a large natural edge in the electoral college and when they need it, they can produce literally millions of fraudulent mail-in-ballots in key cities.

All I was trying to point out is that a lot of people need to get it into the skulls, via some method, that voting no longer matters, at least not for President and soon not even for the House or Senate.

One group calls the other group Rinos and the other group call the other group “Birchers”. How far down the road to preparing for the incoming storm do you think we will get?

What people really need to see is how the DemoRATS use our universities to win elections. It’s not just letting the out-of-state kids vote twice–on campus and at their out-of-state home. That is simple stuff.
It’s the ethnographic studies in rural communities. It’s the Dept of Agriculture at one of our universities starting a “women in ranching program”. This is not just to help women manage their business–no, this is to help them take control with university help of whatever city council they have going in their area. Then there is the part when the faculty come out and do an “ethnographic” study. How much land do you own–who will get it when you die? Those kinds of questions–what the hell do you think they are doing with that info? Oh, and don’t forget that the woman who ran against Zinke last time and lost was immediately rewarded by Biden with a government job here. The media has buried that information.

If you really want to do something to help clean up this coming election, research every candidate for their relationship with your local university. Follow the money!

I agree, Yancey Ward missed the boat on number 2.

DeSantis has a better record as a conservative than President Trump and has endorsed President Trump. Did Yancey miss those elephants in his room?

Haley, not so much, better than some Republicans, but not in the same league as Trump or DeSantis.

You should be able to identify the Republican NeverTrumpers. It’s never been a popular tendency. It’s a Capitol Hill / K-Street tendency.

Haley would be more of the same old same old. DeSantis, not. But the issue is moot at this point. Given a choice between Trump and Haley I am emphatically for Trump.
