Dude, I work for the Ministry of Truth. Who do you think is in charge of the dictionary in the first place?

We must make the very idea of not voting for a leftist candidate unthinkable.

And I do not mean for "unthinkable" to be read as "repulsive" or " offensive." No, I mean that the language itself must be altered so that it is literally impossible to think of anything other than voting blue, because the words to express such a concept no longer exist.

Only then, when it becomes impossible to think wrongly, can we truly be free from the prison inside our own minds.

the useful idiots weren't taught to worry about threats to the Republic, Republicanism, or Representative Republic now were they?

"threats to democracy" was carefully chosen and crafted.

It's interesting to speculate about a future in which Russia's military power in the western-Asia region is effectively destroyed, whether literally or just in terms of image.

******** or not, they do effectively maintain a de-facto Pax Russiana in the region. Russia is the policeman of the region. And even a corrupt policeman maintains order. None of the little Baltic states are going to step too far out of line for fear of Putin saying "Now I kill you."

But what happens when that threat vanishes?

And, conveniently, a rather well-researched essay on exactly this:



Seriously, take the few minutes to view the thing. It's rather interesting.

But, seriously, ignore everything I wrote above.

A few leftist ******** in a hick town in Arizona working to alter the outcome of the election of a couple of US congresspersons matters way more than the overall balance of global power in Europe and western Asia.

They can both be important.

I'm not sure Russia is losing. They...know how to fight a war in the winter and might be just biding time. However to the subject matter of the video (this is IMHO before I finish it) leads to China taking on that role in the region. And well, I'd prefer the devil I know. They also might be shoring fallback positions in preparation for doing the unthinkable.

Now that I've watched it all, it appears that he was focused more on western europe fallout. IMHO many of those people have no stomach for a major war. They will either leave or revolt.

Within two hours, the school board had voted to fire the district’s first Black superintendent, terminate the district’s lawyer, ban critical race theory and set up a committee to decide whether certain books and materials should be banned from schools.
Two teachers said the district did not teach critical race theory,
a pastor argued that critical race theory could help teach students about local history,
​​​​​​​an NAACP representative said addressing structural racism should be the board’s priority,
​​​​​​​and a district librarian said an additional committee was redundant because there were already policies dictating how to buy books for libraries.

What a time to be alive. Numerous videos of the POTUS' son smoking crack with hookers while discussing payment to them isn't considered newsworthy.
