I find myself numb after the 2022 "election". It doesn't matter whether there was massive fraud or if the results simply indicate that the have-nots now dominate our society and they set the rules for those who are still producing and paying taxes. There will be no future fair elections and it probably doesn't matter since the Brandon administration is speeding us along the road to war.

It is no longer possible to think of the USA as the world's policeman (or even a force for good). We are now engaged in the war between the Golden Billion and the BRICS.

Interestingly, an American 3-star general is now in command of a group coordinating the war against Russia and a new group nicknamed Davos in the Desert is discussing the world situation and no one from the Brandon Administration has been invited. Jamie Dimon is there and so is Jarred Kushner. So is the CEO of Blackrock.

The tectonic plates of world politics have shifted and America will soon go the way of Atlantis.

“The end is near...”. You realize you contribute to this scenario by assuming the fix is in, that people can’t be swayed, that the factions moving the political levers on the left (and the right?) are forever locked in their desire to destroy The Real America. You might want to consider that your new champion (and only savior?), Trump, really is the problem, that his complete lack of authenticity is what is driving the 20 odd percent of independents away from anything resembling a Republican Party. You blithely toss aside the idea that his supported candidates are not the issue. But they are. And Trump’s insistence on making his failure to get re-elected on pervasive fraud turns all those who are truly struggling with their vote an easy mark for the other side (free lunches aside). Trump is not the current solution. Ridding politics of his toxic narcissism would go a long way of getting people more involved in what will work for this country. His demise will hasten the journey to a more enlightened electorate, in my humble opinion.

If we'd lost a straight up vote in 2022, I'd be as despondent as you. However, we didn't lose a straight up vote - we lost a vote to a party that plays the early and mail-in ballot game better. And these practices should have been shut down after the pandemic was over. Really, never should have put them in place to begin with. Early voting and mail-in balloting has broken the GOP's back - ironically enabled by Republican legislatures in states like AZ, GA and PA. If Republicans can't change this, they will be a minority party forever. https://jeffmockensturm.substack.com/p/republicans-might-not-win-again-for
