The 2022 Mid-Terms Exposed the Existence
of Two Americas and the Overwhelming Importance
of the 2024 Election

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 11/16/2022 12:15:25 AM

There have been many postmortems written about the outcome of the 2022 mid-term elections. Nearly all focus on political or structural issues. Did the Republican primary voters pick terrible candidates? Why didn’t the Republican hierarchy spend more money on candidates x, y, or z? Is Trump’s endorsement the kiss of death in a general election? Why didn’t the Republicans better prepare for voting fraud and manipulation? But what nearly everyone fails to understand is that this election further amplified that this nation has effectively and permanently split into two countries tenuously living side-by-side,

On a more practical basis, Blue America has developed and adopted a powerful, albeit illegal weapon of ballot harvesting and crooked counting, for which Red America has no answer - yet. That is why the next two years and the Trump candidacy will be important to watch. By

America can not live through another two years, waiting for another election that may or may not be fair and legal. Something has got to give. Republicans have one chance to fix it before the Bastille is stormed, for real this time.

#2, That is never going to happen. No one is going to storm anything because democrats have shown that they are cruel, relentless, monsters who will come down hard on any opposition. In fact, they would like nothing better to have a few more examples to treat worst than we treat our sworn enemies. We are in a world of hurt when the opposing party will do or say anything to win. Apathetic or complicit Republican leadership has given way to democrat lawlessness. There is no consequence to totally fabricating lies to unseat a duly elected President even though investigations proved the guilt of the democrats involved. This blatant in your face lawlessness encourages more of the same. So where do we go from here? Our only option is to go on the offense while we can. The Republican leadership must be willing to take the slings and arrows while fighting the good fight. I don’t have much confidence that the leadership will be effective. How could they be when they have been right there propping up the status quo their whole political lives? The country is in a world of hurt because our leaders ignored or were complicit in the corruption that is rampant in our government. They have an army of unelected bureaucrats who do their bidding and worst of all, they have nothing but contempt for the very people they are there to serve. The Republican Party is compromised. It is a weak, fearful yet arrogant party solely focused on their own personal gain. When they could have made a real difference in our lives, they chose to embrace the status quo instead of the chance to make this country great again. Paul Ryan and his fellow comrades, Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise purposely did absolutely nothing to assist President Trump with his agenda. What makes you think anything has changed? I agree our options are very limited. We have seen what happens at the ballot box so where do we go from here? The leadership must change and work for the good of the people and puts American first or we are toast. I honestly do not see that happening. Far too many people in Washington DC are interested in only protecting the status quo. If that continues, the country is lost.

Yes, there are two Americas -- the America where the solid majority of voters support Republicans, and the America where a small number of Democrats cancel the Republicans' votes through rampant ballot harvesting/dumping fraud. We had better either fix that fraud or out-fraud the Democrats, or we're through.

This was a repeat of 2008. The young, impressionable, deluded, smarter than they really are 18-29 demographic put the Socialist Marxists into office. NoBama softened them up and continues to do so-- they think that THEY will save the World from itself, especially those older folks who have lived through a hard life instead of a "charmed and materialistic" one protected from economic harships. The other key is that they were on top of the knowledge of who voted early, voted by mail, and worked the list of voters who had NOT yet voted to bring out the election day crowd. Many republicans typically vote on election day and they were outnumbered. Add in stuffing of ballots, dead people NOT cleared off the voting rolls, allowing persons who no longer have permanent residece in the state to vote, harvesting or 'helping' those who have ballots but have not turned them in, and other ways to massage the turnout made the difference. In short, we were too overconfident, forgot that winning margins only have to be 50% plus ONE VOTE, and that was what happened to make the difference. One thing is very clear, and that is that the RINOcrats ONLY PROTECT THEIR OWN. Time to go RINO hunting and remove every RINO who stabs the BASE oin the back. Benedict Turtle McConnell pulling money from races to affect the downfall of Trump-supported candidates is SPITE that will cost the nation and may lead to our downfall as a Republic. Article V in the Constitution may be our last hope. Who'll join me in support of that?

I'm with 5 on this. Last week's election showed the importance of the 2020 election! When rampant fraud, obvious theft, and total disregard for integrity and the law were exposed....but never fully investigated, much less punished...it determined the future of our Nation. And that will be: one stolen election after another, until they don't matter at all, or change anything.

The 2022 Midterms taught us that any and all rules, laws, procedures, mechanisms, counting software, voter qualificatio, put into place since 2006 MUST BE RESCINDED, and election laws restored to their pre-Obama lawfulness. Additionally, Motor Voter laws must be annulled, voter ID must be the law of the land, and voter rolls must be CONTINUALLY UPDATED to add new voters and remove those who are deceased or ineligible due to incarceration.

Until the GOP Leadership gets the ballot harvesting and flat out cheating FIXED there is no need for elections. They are rigged, set up, and the GOP will look the other way. IF Kari Lake's is denied the Governorship of AZ she needs to become the head of the GOP, McDaniels needs to go.

If for the next two years lip service is all republicans do not fix the cheating, there's no need for me to stand in line on election day to cast my vote. I'm canceled by ten, fifteen may a hundred ballots by undated dead voters in drop boxes. It's over 2024 or maybe this 2022 election are the last time I'll vote. At this point Pete Buttigieg can stay home and not campaign or debate beating Trump or DeSantis in the next election. The nation is in dire straits it could be the end.

I’d say 2016 was the last reasonably fair election. Yes, the feds were already cooperating with the democrats to derail Trump before he won, but they didn’t try hard enough because they thought Hillary was a lock. By 2018 they had ballot harvesting going in conservative areas of blue states, and of course 2020, where DJT got 5 million more votes than any prior presidential candidate in history, they manufactured enough to install FJB. Elections are now just entertainment and distraction for the masses, to let us think things are the way they were. They are not, and never will be. The left owns and operates the administrative state, which is wholly beyond anything contemplated by our founding fathers, there is no effective check on their powers, courts are too few, to expensive to access and too slow to stem the onslaught.

One of the Americas take the high ground. They are honest and hard working. They believe in family and God. They are charitable and also are true patriots. The other America lies, cheats and break the laws of our nation. They have no honor. That being said, it is the latter that wins elections by doing what they do time after time. Our beloved Republic is dying and we may already may beyond the point of no return. If we can not find a way to stop the cheating we have no future. I am sorry we are leaving this mess to our children and grand children. God Bless America

Remains me of the election of 1860. Along the Maryland Pennsylvania border, farms and families were alike. They knew each other, attended church together, and basically were similar except when it came to who they voted for. Maryland farmers voted for Douglas, and Pa. farmers voted for Lincoln. Even though the families were only a few miles apart, their voting showed a very divided country.

Yeah half of America think they don't have to follow any rules. They are felons that don't get jailed for their crimes, illegals that came into our country illegally, government officials that refuse to enforce the laws passed by Congress, people that do not work for their living, and a government that has grown into a monster controlled by government unions, and not the people. That half of America is not going to work.

Soon, it won't matter how many Americas there are. America's financial house of cards and our beloved dollar are on borrowed time. Meanwhile, Americans are content with the status quo. But watch how they go into attack/survival mode once a rather strange event happens and they discover their cell phones don't work, grocery store shelves are empty, gasoline is at best rationed, the credit card system has been disabled, the banks are closed, medical services are curtailed, and oh, yes, the rolling blackouts. Only then will Americans start to wake up, but it will be too late, right, Klaus?

Why would cheaters take measures to even the field? Republicans will be unable to change the voting systems in blue and purple states. Measures must be taken to bring the responsibility directly to the people in those states. People must be convinced that their vote is a sacred responsibility. They must be convinced that their ballot is of great value, to treat their ballot as if it is a document stamped with their social security number and birthdate, that it must not be thrown in the trash or given to someone else for 'delivery', that ballots sent to people who have passed or moved must be destroyed by shredding, that their ballots must be sealed from prying eyes. Convincing people of these responsibilities must be a major thrust of of conservative efforts and will greatly help to stem the opportunity for ballot fraud.

The vast majority of the folks he supported won. The press has magnified the small number who lost. They lost in solidly Blue regions mostly so its not a big surprise that some of them won. When the head of the parties Senate bad mouth's the chances of winning before the election. I put the blame on Mitches shoulder. He has a history of preferring to be in the minority with people he can control as opposed to winning with people he doesn't control.

I'm not convinced that they will even bother to have another pretend election in 2024. They got away with a steal in 2020 that was blatant, but you'd have to be paying attention to understand how they did it. so no one did anything to correct it (Except maybe in Florida). in 2022 they were very blatant about the steal... you'd have to be in complete active denial to not see it, and now there are way too few 'important people' 'on our side' to rectify the cheating. so now the only solution is an armed revolution of the vast majority of the peasantry. And I just don't see that happening. So why should they even bother to pretend that we have a choice in 2024?

The brutal truth is that, unless enough Democrats and moderates who supported Biden in 2020 unite with Republicans to vote for the their candidate in two years, the country of the founding fathers is lost. Unfortunately, the one person who cannot unite this country is Donald Trump.

An interesting thought piece that lays it out on the differences but doesn't go far enough with the explanations as to why and how to stop it. The Red people of America are in a very toxic and abusive marriage with the Blue people. For now, Red America has the role of the quiet wife allowing the drunk father (Blue America) to smash furniture when he doesn't get his way, abuse the children up to molesting (incest is next), spend all the money on his drinks & toys and then smacks around the wife (Red America) to the point of hospitalization if she complains. This will end with: a) quiet and sad acceptance of the ongoing trauma, b) an ugly divorce, c) a legal separation with split assets & limited visitation rights or d) someone gets murdered in the heat of the moment. I'm afraid there are no other choices.

There is no fixing the voting system, and no Republicans are going to take up the charge. The only way forward now is divorce. It won’t be amicable because democrats are not an amicable people, but it must happen. I will not live in servitude to the left. I will not.

California is projected to have a deficit after holding onto a budget surplus for the past several years. The state is expected to have a $25 billion deficit in the next fiscal year, according to the state legislature’s nonpartisan fiscal experts. The Legislative Analyst’s Office released its report on Wednesday, emphasizing the upcoming $25 billion deficit, which they say is mostly due to “lower revenue estimates.” The state’s last budget was $308 billion with a $97 billion surplus, and the year prior to that, the budget was $263 billion with a $76 billion surplus.

Nancy Pelosi, who announced she would not continue as the Democratic Party’s leader in the House of Representatives, has been a great legislator. You’d have to be to last for 19 years at the top of the Democratic legislative greasy pole. That doesn’t mean she has been a great font of ideas, a great visionary, or a great leader of the American people. She has been none of those things. Her own contributions to this country on matters of policy, rather than shepherding or opposing bills in the House, have been negligible. She was impotent when it came to dealing with an anti-Semitic outbreak in her caucus in 2019, for example.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) appears to be the front-runner to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi (R-CA) as House Democrat leader, even though he is an election denier. As a lawyer from central Brooklyn, Jeffries is a self-described far-left Democrat who appears to be angling behind the scenes to win the Democrat House leadership position. He first assumed office in 2013 and has served as the chair of the House Democrat Caucus since 2019. Jeffries’ presumable succession is notable because Democrats and the establishment have continually labeled some Republican politicians as election deniers. The same standard does not appear to be applied to Jeffries.

Skyrocketing demand for domestically sourced lithium to meet federal goals for zero-emission technologies has developers planning for the next great mining boon in the Silver State, but a rare wildflower may stymie one proposed project. The site of a proposed lithium mine in western Nevada's Silver Peak Range also happens to be the only known place on Earth where a rare wildflower grows in the wild. Environmentalists say the plant is on the verge of extinction, and it's being considered by the Fish and Wildlife Service for protection under the Endangered Species Act.

Fans love that Tim Allen is reprising his role as Santa for the Disney+ miniseries, “The Santa Clauses,” but some critics are complaining he’s too much of a “right-wing Santa.” The 69-year-old actor is one of the few openly conservative people in Hollywood.

First, before anyone says Republicans had bad candidates, keep in mind that the Democrats won the Senate with John Fetterman and Sen. Krysten Sinema, D-AZ, before him. Bad candidates didn’t stop them, and this article addresses why. It is important to remember that in 2010, the first midterm election after President Barack Obama was elected, Democrats lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives
