    It has always been suspicious to me, that elections are so close, usually within +/-2%. That just doesn't seem right to me. How can it be that half the country is Good, and the other half Evil, and each half thinks the other half is the problem?

    Just the existence of this situation tells me something else is afoot. Is this the two hemispheres of the human brain manifesting itself? The creative side and the analytical side?

    A human being needs both sides to live a healthy life. We cannot be only creative, or only analytical. A balance?

    But in the end, I don't see D vs. R.
    I see Politicians vs. People. That's the real fight. Once it is too late to save our society, the Politicians will run away screaming with the People at their heels.

    I have a friend who rescinded his American Citizenship status and became an American State National. Now he has given up his right to vote, and to pay Federal taxes. It's a small step. He still has to pay gasoline tax, property tax, school tax, state taxes. But no Federal income tax.

    It's a small personal secession.

      And your friend can't have a bank account, a credit card, rent a car, buy anything on the internet.
      Loss of modern conveniences is why so few people will take that step.
      We are slaves to convenience and the supply of goods from corrupt companies who see us as useful only as consumers.

      You are absolutely correct -- it is the Politicians vs. the People. Everyone needs to understand that. The people can be democrats or republicans; but the politicians feel they are the elite and the ones running everything, including us.

      I think of the political parties as marketing organizations. Each tries to better the other using advertising techniques and the money gained from contributions. Ultimately, as each of them tries to become more and more effective, they will become equal in persuasive power and elections will be 50-50

    Of course, because THEY WANT POWER more than we do!
    It's that simple.
    They are willing to lie, cheat, steal, disown people.

    I have an 82yr old dear friend whose family dis-invited him from Thanksgiving last year because he would not get vaccinated.

    Both familes contain 1 doctor! And both VACCINATED their children. And Both families are Liberal.

    Both of them EVEN got the BOOSTER and threatened their father with this years Thanksgiving if he brought it up.

    The level of WRONG on the other side is outrageous! They simply are willing to do ANYTHING to play TEAM SPORTS.

    Because they never have to pay the price for the loss... THAT they get to split the bill with everyone else they forced on the ride!

    My opinion voting has been corrupted for fifty years. They have just refined it with machines and computers to make it palatable for the media to present to the ignorant masses to swallow. The deep state is so deep it is an abyss. China + The Cartels hold the US Government by the throat ($$). Illegal immigrants are the cash commodity and you do not mess with that. If you do you are out or dead. The other side of the coin is big pharma. Same thing. $$. Don’t mess with them. You’re out or dead.

      Better to die (armed and fighting for liberty) on my feet, than to live chained on my knees.
      Still better to make the enslaving treasonous enemy die by hanging or by arms in pursuit of liberty.

        The whole idea of people living in harmony rests on there being a benefit to the arrangement. Today, I really wonder about living among entitled people who are constantly taking from me. Almost rather live alone if thats all that is available.

        This is on a sheet of paper taped to the mirror above my computer screen
        Malo periculosam libertatum quam quietam servitutem.
        I had to look it up to understand what it means.
        But, I agree with it.

    There is no such thing as Red and Blue states. Look at the entire US map and tell us what color you see in over 95% of it and then bring up the maps of each individual state and it's a wonder how the blue even survives. The few states that do appear mostly blue usually have more votes counted than they have registered legal voters.

    In 20 years there will be legalized pedophilia. Bank on it.
    This is how empires crumble.

      Our republic was conceived to be run by a moral and thinking people. It seems the supply of both is on the wane. Hence, goes the republic.

      Side note: I deliberately used the word thinking as opposed to educated as they are not the same thing in this context. IMHO, there are a lot of educated people out there that seem to have lost the ability to think.

    I was holding out for the shifting of the poles,hoping it would dump Calif. in the ocean, perhaps the east coast as well. Seems the Mafia, now living in Maricopa County, AZ, gorgeous houses, may be pulling another JFK election out there, like Chicago in the 60s. I know one thing, I am sick of Zelinskyy, now wanting a permanent support payment from US taxpayers.

      Just move the entirety of DC with all the bureaucracy and the entirety of Wall St including all the Fed central banking thieves to Ukraine.
      The Deep State can fund the Ukraine war movie without backing or American slaves.
      Perhaps Vlad will do all humanity a favor.

    Secession would be a good way to fix this. It wont be allowed by the leftists today any more than it was permitted in 1850 when the south was decimated for even thinking about secession.

    The leftist government of the USA has to collapse before secession would ever be practical. Even if half the people wanted secession, the other half would declare war on them and probably win.

    Voting does seem to be a big WASTE of time.

      It is especially when we dont even have to show picture ID. Maybe the only people who can vote are people who contribute to the operation of the country- paid taxes.

      The constitution needs to be changed so that no law can be passed that takes from one person and gives to another.

    I do not think secession is the answer. The answer is to fight. Not with physical violence, necessarily, but I mean ideologically. To fight intellectually; to fight to stop the kind of indoctrination that is taking place in schools, for instance. And it isn't only in one state of the other..And a lot of people are religious Fundamentalists who want to set up a theocracy, and that is not an acceptable alternative, either. But the thing to do is to fight them intellectually.

      I dont think its practical to fight ideologically when the other side has taxation power, and they fight with freebies stolen from the other side. At least half the people will do what they are told if they get freebies.

      Already proven ineffective when the media is controlled by the enemy as it is now.
      We'll be 50 years dead by the time ideology could be effective and that would be only after a guerrilla war wears down the people (and our kids and grandkids will have been slaves all that time.)

      I hear what you’re saying. But the field of ideological combat is heavily tilted towards the left. They have force multipliers we just don’t have. Colleges, news outlets, woke corporations. The sheer manhours they can pour into indoctrination is staggering. We just don’t have access to those levers of power that program the normies 24/7.

      It’s game set match. Just like Galt and the other Producers. They knew they couldn’t fight them in the town square with ideas. So instead they let reality have its way with society. That’s what we need to do. Will it hurt us? Yes.... but so would a full blown civil war.
      I always said where the Canadian truckers screwed up by occupying Ottawa. The better course of action would have been to just not drive. Stay home. It would have been cheaper and had a far harsher impact. And they would have had more participation. How would Trudeau punish people for doing exactly what he spent the previous year telling them to do? How would GoFundMe have justified the same? How do you paint a bunch of people staying home as “terrorists”.
      Ayn showed us the way.......GO GALT! It doesn’t matter if you’re a leader of industry or a guy who puts a widget in a box. Starve the beast that enslaves you.
      Solzhenitsyn said “If there must be lies, let them not be through me.” Basically if there must be Bullshit, let it not be empowered by our efforts.
      The Roman Empire didn’t fall because it was invaded by Barbarians. The Barbarians invaded Rome because the rank and file Romans had quit propping up a corrupt imperium with their efforts. Chicken or egg stuff.

    This map is messy but so it the map in other parts of the world. I could imagine it working. People from blue area could come here and even work but they'd have to go back if they cause problems. I could go through the blue zone too although that's less of a problem because they are smaller.

    It makes absolutely no sense New Hampshire is blue. My town has 100% voter turn-out for every election. NH has got to be the dirtiest state in the union.
