    Not so fast guys. Has he ever used the words "I am not a fan",? If not, I'm not gonna say he's not a fan. That would be presumptuous.

    But they will tell you this isn't the same as 1984 or 1930's Germany.
    Ok, it's not. We are supposed to have checks and balances to prevent this sort of thing.

    This isn't about the masks or any of that, for those people who think that.
    This is about politicians "encouraging" people to turn in their neighbors.
    This is how they were able to gain control of their people. Turn them against each other. Restrict freedoms and control them.

    Yes, yes, yes, and yes. And let's not forget what the average German citizen thought during those times: "That can't happen here, we're way too civilized."

    On a similar note, I caught a headline a few minutes ago saying that "Diane Feinstein steps down after pressure from the Left". I don't know what that's about yet, but I'm stunned. There's something farther Left than Diane Feinstein? Has Chairman Mao reincarnated and taken control of California? I guess that'd be the logical place to start, if he did.

    AOC and the others have started to take control. These old politicians on the Democratic side are in trouble. Elections for Congress showed that. Pelosi is lucky she hasn't been wiped out yet by the progressives. I expect Republicans to take everything back over the next 4 years.

    If Republicans lose the Senate I don't think this country is even close to being ready to accept what will likely be shoved down our throats.

    I read a 2010 article where the author predicted a turbulent 2020-2030. Basically things at boiling over and he said best case is massive unrest and violent protests with a changing political scene, worst case flat out civil war from the country becoming too divided.

    I've said this before. If the Republicans lose the Senate, we will become Venezuela. If they keep the Senate, Biden will do damage through executive order, but he can't change the country into a socialist nation.

    Seems right. This last Presidential election confirms the thinking. This has been like a beauty contest with only two butt-fugly contestants, no matter who wins the crown goes to the ugly one.

    It's funny that people actually believe that the voting system isn't corrupt.
    The voting system has been mismanaged and corrupt since the 90s.
    The outcome of the election is never decided by the voter.

    I do not think it was an accurate vote and there are millions of registered voters that are either not legal registrations or invalid.
    People are incapable of handling something of that scale, without a huge amount of errors.
    Years back, there was an article by USC, about the amount of non-resident people registered to vote in California.
    Which makes those votes invalid.
    Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump.
    Everyone one of those elections was gained on questionable elections.

    A single man may attempt to achieve accuracy, 10 may try, 100 have the intention, but any amount of people above that can rarely have any verifiable amount of accuracy on anything.

    So to answer the question, do I think it was fraud in that election?
    Yes. Fraud infers that there were illegal votes. Without question, there were.

    I might not go as far as others but I do believe things like sending absentee ballot to every registered voter without a request, raises the possibility of greater inaccuracies.

    And I know of people who received as many as four ballots in the mail - for the same person.

    Care to guess how many of the duplicates were actually used?? 😏

    There are people out there that think that there can't possibly be votes that are counted wrong.
    Any time you have human intervention, there is roughly a 3.8% chance of error, assuming Kalman gain theory.
    That number increases per amount of people involved.

    Then there is the invalid registrations, not only for non-resident, but convicted felons, improperly signed ballots, etc.
    A large percentage of those are missed and counted.

    If you apply numbers and equations to it, the possibility that the outcomes are severely bias is high.

    Same exact logic i give when people ask me if I think the NFL, NBA are rigged. Maybe not outright rigged or outright fraudulent, but we're talking about multi billion dollar enterprises and the government multi-trillion. Too much money and power at stake for them to not attempt "sway" in some way. From their perspective, it's just protecting their interests. When you look at it that way, why wouldn't they attempt to give their best outcome a better probability...ethics aside

    "Trump supporters and opponents differ most in their expressed levels of confidence in how votes were counted. Confidence plummeted at all levels among Trump supporters from Bright Line Watch's October survey compared to their November survey. Most notably, confidence in the national vote count collapsed from 56 percent to 28 percent among Trump supporters at the national level."

    You don't have to cheat everywhere ("widespread voter fraud"), you only have to cheat a little where it matters most.
