How did the republicans lose their red wave? If you listen to the after party mantra call of the democrats it was by giving them what they wanted. Or at least perceived as such. Here in Michigan we know that came with a whole lot of democratic operative meddling to get what the people really wanted thrown off the ballot. They weren't particularly silent about it afterwards.
Liberal fundraisers actually put money behind Trump-endorsed candidates in GOP primaries all over the place to help them prevail so that Democrats could face them in the general election. It was transparently cynical and an abuse of our political process. But it worked like gangbusters.
As Kevin Robillard of the Huffington Post noted on Wednesday afternoon when a Michigan Democrat named Hilary Scholten was finally declared the winner of her House seat against a raving lunatic named John Gibbs: “With this race call, every single Republican who won their primary with help from Democratic meddling has lost in the general election.”
**
As primary season comes to a close Tuesday, Democrats have spent more than $53 million to boost far-right Republican primary candidates in nine key states as part of a controversial election strategy — despite publicly screaming about the threat posed to the US by such would-be officeholders.
In some races, Democrats have spent more than 30 times what the GOP candidates were able to scrape together themselves, according to a Washington Post analysis.
Facing an unfavorable midterm environment, Democratic campaign organizations have propped up fringe candidates in California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Virginia — betting that their chosen contender will be easier to beat in November.
Most of the money has been used to fund TV commercials aimed at Republican voters that often tout the candidate’s hardline anti-abortion views and support for former president Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him by voter fraud.
In all, Democratic campaigns or outside groups have interfered in 13 primary races across the nine states — six gubernatorial contests, two Senate primaries and five House races.
In 11 of the GOP races that have been decided so far, the Democrats’ preferred candidate has won four times — gubernatorial contests in Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania as well as the primary in Michigan’s 3rd House District, where pro-impeachment incumbent Peter Meijer was knocked off by challenger John Gibbs.

They say they had this opportunity thanks to a lot of the redistricting of the congressional districts that happened a few years ago, leveling the playing field, as the representatives put it.
"Democrats have been playing a rigged game for a long time here in Michigan,” says Sen. Curtis Hertel Jr. (D–23). “It's pretty easy to win a football game if everybody looks like Joe. And the other team, you know, looks like me. And so, you know, the rules are set up to favor the Republicans every single time. This time, Michigan has had a real choice; we gave them real choices on the ballot."
We asked Democratic legislators why they think they were able to turn some of these districts blue — like Michigan's third congressional district, where Hillary Scholten won over John Gibbs. They said it was largely due to extremism and the fact that repealing abortion rights was on the table.
Those real choices didn't come via any redistricting plan alone as democrats financed the campaigns of those least likely to win against democrats in the mid terms, democratic operatives also gathered fraudulent signatures on petitions in the thousands to keep those favored to win against democrats off the ballot. Sen. Curtis Hertel Jr. of democrats playing a rigged game for a long time is certainly no understatement in this regard. When he says they gave them real choices we can fully understand the scope of what that meant, they rigged the game.
The problems center around 36 petition circulators, who compiled an estimated 68,000 fraudulent signatures for 10 candidate campaigns – including five Republican candidates for governor: James Craig, Perry Johnson, Michael Brown, Michael Markey Jr. and Donna Brandenburg.
It wasn't just the governors race or congressional seats they took aim at either judicial seats were also involved. Some of those seats included incumbent seats. One judicial judge saw zero valid signatures out of 298 signatures handed in. He needed two hundred valid to run again. They must have had a real hard on for that guy. Zero. Absolutely astonishing what they got away with. It's not like the guy is inexperienced since he's hired these firms before, there was no real reason to surmise that democratic operatives would undermine petition drives.
The election commission, made up of two democrats and two republicans were obviously split in their decision given the fraud involved, which was on an unprecedented level seen here. The cases were forward for criminal investigation to the attorney generals office. A consensus of three would have been needed to override the fraud issue but that didn't prevail. The attorney general said she would do a extensive review of any fraud that occurred but it was incumbent upon the individual running for office to make sure the signatures they were handing in were valid. No mention that historically these types of hired petition drives don't encompass fraud on this level but if she had been one that was taken aim at to get removed from the ballot I don't believe she'd taken it sitting down. Frankly asking her to investigate her own party operatives is like asking the a fox to guard the hen house.
The real creme de la creme from all this interference in our election processes has to be a quote by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), who said such skullduggery could backfire, warning that propping up such candidates could backfire and propel them into office.
“I do want to win these races, but it makes me worried,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) told Politico in July. “I just really worry about promoting election deniers and this idea that we’re going to be able to control what voters want at the end of the day.”
Priceless really.
Once democratic operatives foisted the weakest links onto the ballots they dropped funding them. In an op end piece for The American Conservative, JD Vance goes on to blame funding for the losses on election night.
Money is how candidates fund the all-important advertising that reaches swing voters, and it’s how candidates fund turnout operations. And in every marquee national race, Republicans got crushed financially.
JD might have gone on to be crushed financially himself if it hadn't been for the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) and National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) which he made a full disclosure he was grateful for before going on to diss them on how they either operate or certain federal election rules that make it more expensive for Super PAC's to operate.
Outside groups, like SLF, try to close this gap. But it is a losing proposition. Under federal elections law, campaigns pay way less for advertising than outside “Super PACs.” In some states, $10 million from an outside group is less efficient than $2 million spent by a campaign. So long as Republicans lose so badly in the small dollar fundraising game, Democrats will have a massive structural advantage.
He goes on to explain the difference in terms of incumbency vs new congressional races. Like he stated it's cheaper to run a campaign when those donations are coming directly into a race versus having outside PAC's working independently to support a campaign. If you are an incumbent holding office you've already went through the processes and fees involved in building a donor list. You can directly solicit funding into your campaign that enables you to financially use that money more effectively rather than having to rely on a PAC to get you where you need to be in the race. Having to depend on PAC's gets you less bang for your buck, less exposure.
The reason is ActBlue. ActBlue is the Democrats’ national fundraising platform, where 21 million individual donors shovel small donations into every marquee national race. ActBlue is why my opponent ran nonstop ads about how much he “agreed with Trump” during the summer. It is why John Fetterman was able to raise $75 million for his election.
Republican small dollar fundraising efforts are paltry by comparison, and Republican fundraising efforts suffer from high consultant and “list building” fees—where Republicans pay a lot to acquire small-dollar donors. This is why incumbents have such massive advantages: much of the small-dollar fundraising my own campaign did went to fundraising and list-building expenses. If and when I run for reelection, almost all of it will go directly to my campaign. Democrats don’t have this problem. They raise more money from more donors, with lower overhead.
I had to think about that for a moment recalling that during Trump's tenure as president they set up ActBlue's counterpart called WinRed. In an article quoted on Fox News by Trump's spokesman Jason Miller in 2021 that through a grass roots operation the monies raised through WinRed was more money than any campaign in history. If WinRed was suppose to be ActBlue's counterpart, and it was taking in money at historical levels than why wasn't there sufficient monies to fund the campaigns of republican races. I also remember from back than there was some contentious back and forth between McConnel and Trump over setting up the WinRed site. If the site was operated like ActBlue's site people can go directly to the site and pick the candidate of their choosing and all the money is funneled directly to that person. I wondered if this is the same way WinRed was set up and yes you can go directly to the site and pick whom you want your money to go to but there's a catch involved. Mitch McConnel must have been smart enough to realize that Trump would take the bulk of the donations given on the site. So he initiated that a percentage of the monies, 25%, given to candidates would go into the RNC's operating expenses fund, 3.8% in the RNC's legal defense fund. It appears that McConnel was right because when you look at the 2020 expenditures for WinRed Trump took in over half the monies that came into WinRed.
2020 contributions to WinRed totaled $665,557,423 dollars, they also had listed unclassified contributions of $956,840 dollars. Of those monies Trump took $355,820,868. The reminder $309,736,615 went into the RNC and other candidates campaign funds.
The Donald J Trump for President received $151,256,590, The Trump Victory Fund received $24,908,187, Trumps Makes America Great Again received $179,656,091, The Republican National Committee received $47,985,050, National Republican Senatorial Committee received $36,922,560, The National Republican Congressional Committee received $27,801,286, Team Graham received $20,877,882, McSally for Senate received 14,714,482, McConnell Senate Committee (SLF spoken of above) received $14,374,520 and Team Scalise received $8,320,405. That wasn't the end of it either when it came to Trump, from the time of his election loss to the end of his term he took in hundreds of millions more after he sat up his Election Defense Fund and his Save American Fund. Actually when people were donating to the Election Defense Fund there was fine print that read those funds would be going into the Save American Fund. That's because despite the claim it was going toward his legal fees to fight the election results federal rules prohibited him for using them for legal fees. From Nov 3, 2020 the RNC, and all Trump accounts combined took in another $ $207.5 million in donations. With a little fancy foot work and a bit of fine print Trump managed to pay off his campaign debt than started to divert funding into his Save America Fund. If you go to the WinRed site today Trump's face is right at the top of people whom you can donate to. When Trump left office he walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars that he no longer had to be held accountable for. Not a bad rate of return for a guy who spent sixty six million of his own money getting into office. As the months progressed into the election loss fraud frenzy chances are better than not he's taken in hundreds of millions more.
No one man alone can solve all the ills of our political system, many people realize that. When someone sets out to tell them donate to Save America they assume those monies will be distributed to do exactly that, to get America first leaders elected but according to JD's own assertion that is the farthest from the truth.
Indeed, one of the biggest changes I would like to see from Trump’s political organization—whether he runs for president or not—is to use their incredible small dollar fundraising machine for Trump-aligned candidates, which it appears he has begun doing to assist Herschel Walker in his Senate runoff.
Outside of what he termed some structural changes in voting patterns JD continues to assert that it was lack of funding not Donald Trump to blame for the losses in the midterms.
This brings us to the Senate. In competitive states, every non-incumbent candidate was swamped with cash by national Democrats. This is true for Trump-aligned candidates (like me), anti-Trump candidates (like Joe O’Dea in Colorado), and those who straddled both camps. The house tells a similar story. Every person blaming Donald Trump, or bad candidates endorsed by Trump, ought to show a single national marquee race where a non-incumbent beat a well-funded opponent. The few exceptions—New York among them—don’t tell an easy anti-Trump story.
In Ohio, for example, Republican candidates ran against extremely well-funded Democrat opposition. Some of them were MAGA. Some establishment. Almost all of them lost. The only exception was Max Miller in Northeast Ohio, one of Trump’s early endorsements.
There is a related structural problem, which is that higher propensity voters (suburban whites, especially) are just more and more Democratic. Meanwhile, a lot of the Trump base just doesn’t turn out in midterm elections. Again, this is not unique to Trump: these voters have always had substandard turnout numbers. But 20 years ago, when most of them voted for Democrats, that meant Republicans had a structural advantage in midterms. Now, the shoe is on the other foot. This problem is exacerbated by Democrats’ strong advantages in states that have expanded vote by mail.
I think he meant to say "But 20 years ago, when most of them voted Republicans" because it otherwise doesn't make sense, if it were democrats as stated there wouldn't be a structural advantage twenty years ago as he is claiming is taking place now. I am not compelled to believe that there's that much of a structural difference among suburban white voters compared to twenty years ago. If that held true it wouldn't be the larger urban democratic area's of the state that often turn the tide toward the democrats it would be the state as a whole and would preclude the need for issue driven agendas to drive people to the poles. Despite all the grievances given by Vance for the loss of a red wave, including the absence of Trump from center stage there were three reasons mainly that drove those losses. Democratic meddling, lacks of funds, and Donald Trump.
Our party has one major asset, contra conventional wisdom, to rally these voters: President Donald Trump. Now, more than ever, our party needs President Trump’s leadership to turn these voters out and suffers for his absence from the stage.
Notice how he uses the word contra. There was another time in history where the word contra was used quite frequently and that was during Ronald Reagans presidency. A presidency often spoken in admiration by Trump himself. The contra's was a counterrevolutionary group that engaged in white propaganda to altar public opinion in favor of themselves while covertly attacking their civilian population. Trump has devised a similar pattern of deception. Trump descended that escalator at Trump Towner to announce to the world that American's were the best and the finest only to be taken advantage of and inundated with all the worlds problems before uttering the salvo that eventually be used to target those same individuals. Instead of guns and ammunition it'd become a covert war of words and ideologies. What shapeshifter Vance is trying to describe here isn't the rallying of the conservative base but the asset Trump has become in rallying democratic voter turnout who are issue driven voters. Give them a reason to turn out in historic numbers and they will. Whether it's legalizing pot, taking away abortions or malevolent rhetoric from Trump and his base, or perceived as such. These tactics have been overwhelmingly successful for the democratic party and they, not Trump supporters would be the one's who'd suffer from his absence on the stage. Nearly half his base wish he would leave the world stage because it's become apparent at this point that they are not "winning" as he has promised.
Laying beneath emotionally charged filled statements, hyperbole or a matrix of other distractions you can often find the real truth of who Trump is. Right from day one you can see he was clearly lying.
TRUMP: Well, you need somebody, because politicians are all talk, no action. Nothing's gonna get done. They will not bring us — believe me — to the promised land. They will not.
As an example, I've been on the circuit making speeches, and I hear my fellow Republicans. And they're wonderful people. I like them. They all want me to support them. They don't know how to bring it about. They come up to my office. I'm meeting with three of them in the next week. And they don't know — “Are you running? Are you not running? Could we have your support? What do we do? How do we do it?”
Now seriously ask yourself if that's how the 2016 race unfolded, republicans working together to bring it "about". The only way that could have occurred as described is they got together and laid a plan to deceive. A plan that Michael Moore would describe as what you see is what you get and you believe what they are saying is actually what they believe. In this case they would be Trump. What you see is what you get and you believe what he is saying is actually what he believes. That belief, if laid out in that room with republicans would have been a plan that they agreed he'd come in and play out a plan that would disrupt the whole political system as we know it, blow the whole damn thing apart along with the republicans inside it. It'd be him against them and that's how they played it....am I right? They'd build an imagine of an indestructible force that'd buck the prevailing winds of change and return America back to it's rightful greatness. It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Teflon Don knocking out democrats, republicans, Hollywood liberals, globalist and the mighty powerful forces of the media.
But here's the thing about that. It's not happening. The midterms were proof it's not happening. The prevailing winds just keep prevailing. So I guess it's time to ask the hard questions. Exactly what is this promised land and why is it so seemingly hard to get there. To answer any questions you first have to figure out what promised lands means. For this we have to go back to Michael Moore who detailed what the promise lands were in a memo he sent out called "The Promised Land....a message from Michael Moore in November of 2008.
"The Promised Land ...a message from Michael Moore
Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Friends,
Tomorrow.
All of us.
You, me, and everyone we know.
Eight years is enough. Eight weeks was enough.
We have a chance to redeem this country, to prove we're better than this, that which Bush has made of us.
McCain is right about one thing: Barack Obama is the most liberal senator in the United States Senate. More liberal than Ted Kennedy. When was the last time you had a chance to send the MOST liberal senator to the White House? Trust me, it won't happen again in our lifetime.
Every vote is critical -- even in hard red states like Texas and Alabama; and true blue ones like New York, California and Michigan. Tomorrow, we need to create a massive popular vote that will give Obama a stunning mandate to return this country to we, the people. Let's write one for the history books and rocket Obama into the White House.
Expect trouble tomorrow. Stand your ground. Don't let some clerk turn you away. Make noise. Call the media if they won't let you vote. Let the Obama camp know. Check out his Voter Protection Center. Know where your polling place is. Be careful inside the voting booth. The ballot still reads like a Sudoku puzzle. Be prepared for long lines. That's ok, you know how to bring the party with you! Make new friends. Plot your local revolution. The 28-year rule of Republicans (and Democrats who act like Republicans) is over. The Reagan Era dies tomorrow night. My God, I truly thought it would never end.
There are over a million of you on my list. Each of you know 5 or 10 people who may not vote. Offer to drive them to the polls. If they live across the country, call them and tell them how much it means to you that they go vote for Obama. Take your co-workers to lunch -- and to vote. Be creative. Come up with ways to convince the undecided to get their decided on and go vote. Make it fun. Lead the horse to water.
60 seats in the Senate!
30-seat increase in the House!
President Obama!
It's in your hands. The Promised Land. "
Making connections is everything. There you have it in a nutshell, the promised land originated from the very person whom helped propel Trump into the presidency with an October 2016 October surprise with his release of his one man show called Trumpland. I know you are thinking that Moore hates Trump when the question you should be focused on is what does Moore hate more and I think it pretty much shows in his 2008 message. In July of 2016 in his Five Reasons Trump will win he called the system politically sick. Not only to that end there's no evidence prior that Moore never got along with Trump, in a 1998 appearance on Roseanne Barr show Moore quipped he wouldn't have a problem with Trump because he never laid off thirty thousand people when Trump responded he liked Moore's book but probably wouldn't like it if he'd written it about him. In another interview in 2016 when asked about Michael Moore Trump quipped that he had just left Michael, said he's a good man, he's done a good job. A great job at what? Possibly writing the script to Trump's rise? On into Five Ways Trump Will Win Moore even makes a statement that you don't have to agree with him, you don't even have to like him as long as he can serve as your personal Molotov cocktail to throw right into the centers of whatever bastards you've taken issue with. In a October 2016 article in GQ magazine, Michael Moore in Trumpland Is Not The Movie You Think It Is, Joshua Rivera writes:
It's easy to dismiss TrumpLand—because it seems like a stunt, made in less than two weeks, released by surprise. Because it's Michael Moore. Because we don't really need to give any more attention to Donald Trump. But to dismiss Michael Moore in TrumpLand is a mistake, because it's not a movie about Donald Trump at all. We don't need that, and Moore knows we don't need that.
It's really a movie about Hillary Clinton.
If Moore knows we don't really need that than why not write the five ways Hillary will lose this election, or Hillary Clinton is about to get her ass stomped, I mean really at that time that would have equally gotten people's attention. Even the author in the headline byline made mention of it: Despite having his name in the title, Michael Moore argues the best way to beat Trump is by talking more about Hillary. Because it was never really about Hillary, a person whom by the way Moore makes mention of that up until Trump he swore he'd never vote for warmonger Hillary Clinton. That's because this wasn't just about painting Trump as a racist/misogynist among a host of other descriptive names written in the article:
For what feels like years, we have been trying to solve the problem of a potential Donald Trump presidency. We have argued and explained and often merely pointed, as Donald Trump has often been the best argument for not electing Donald Trump. But this, it seems, has done us no good, as Donald Trump—an alleged sexual harasser, serial liar, and unabashed racist/misogynist two-for-one special—is still in the running for leader of the free world, even after exhibiting behavior that got Billy Bush fired from Today.
-but was equally as important is the degrading, dehumanizing feelings that Moore has carried for eons of those very individuals who have stood in the way of the promised land:
The central thesis of Michael Moore in Trumpland is that Trump supporters are a Molotov cocktail rabid, fervent group, one that will trudge through any brutal midwestern snowstorm or freak hurricane to make sure their disenfranchisement and anger will be heard on Election Day,
It's pretty hard to imagine Michael Moore rushing about doing anything let alone write an entire script, staging productions all the way from Ohio to New York in a two week whirlwind of appearances. Nah, that never happened and it's apparent not only from his Five Reasons Trump Will Win opinion piece written in July but from a remark that Bill Maher made that was eerily similar to Moore's prediction of the outcome of a Trump presidency at the end of his Trumpland movie, that being when he said "good night America you just elected the last president of the United States". Bill Maher makes the same prediction for the republican national convention in a promo.
Moore's scripted intrusion into the 2016 race is apparent from another of his five ways to make sure Trump doesn't win chapters when he details what needs to be done during the debates and ironically it played out that way.
Hillary Must Slyly Stick Trump with a Comedy Shiv During the Debates. Bill Maher and I will help Hillary with this (Hill, call us!). I’m sure Amy Schumer and Chris Rock would chip in, too. Clinton actually has a good sense of humor, but keeps it mostly hidden. Trump has very thin skin. If she can slide the perfect line of satirical ridicule just under that thin skin of his, he will implode. On live TV. And that, my friends, will be the moment it’s over for him. A complete mental meltdown on a stage without his cheering man-fans in the room. BOOM!
It never works out that, it's never meant to, he's the indestructible Teflon Don, that's part of the whole skit:
Trumpland: They see the elites who ruined their lives hate Trump, wall street hates Trump, corporate America hates Trump, the career politicians hate Trump, the media hates Trump, after they loved him and created him and now hate him. Thank you media. The enemy of my enemy is who I am voting for on November 8th.
Chances are pretty good Moore got a good share of them to chip in on that endeavor also. It was like a resounding chorus across the country. Everybody is to hate on Trump. All the way down to the hat loving wearing Moore say he doesn't know how Trump knew hats make a connection with people, especially in certain areas of the country, but a connection like that he'd come out a winner. There isn't anyone in Hollywood seen wearing a hat more than Moore especially when he has a new book he wants to sell to the very people he loathes. When Michael Moore is mentioned the vast majority envision a man wearing a baseball cap....but he'd have no way of knowing how Trump could have grabbed on to such an idea. Moore gives away his double forked tongue in an interview where he called Trump, who he said drew thousands to his movie Trumpland, maybe millions, a narcists for thinking Trumpland was about him going about saying in an uneducated dumbed down voice in mockery of Trump, "Hey there's a movie about me got my name in it" than carries on by saying "he doesn't talk like that by the way, that was western Michigan accent". You don't become an apologist for someone you loathe. It was a stretch to believe people in Michigan talked like that, maybe in the backwoods of the Appalachian Mountains but not here in Michigan, which by the way had never, until recently swung as blue as Moore likes to describe it.
The same glee seen in the Maher video can be seen with Moore in Trumpland when he proclaims that Trump's election will be the biggest FU recorded in human history, than he pauses for a second before saying, "and it will feel good". That's an inside joke and the joke is on Trump supporters. To further outline the blatant lie that Moore was in any real physical shape to be rushing about doing anything is several things he said in his Five Ways Trump Will Win including a part where it was almost like he had a crystal ball projecting that into the future we could see eight years of gays in the white house, than the transgender...you can see where this is going he wrote.
After that it’ll be eight years of the gays in the White House! Then the transgenders! You can see where this is going.
One can't deny that's the course it took. How canny is that. It's Moore's obsession though with the states of Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania seen as far back as 2008 in his message above and continuing on through the Five Ways Trump Will Win and continuing into Trumpland. It's a rather ironic state of affairs because it's almost like Moore relishes in disgust and dehumanizing the very individuals, himself at one time included, that he set out to empathize with in Roger and Me. You see Moore in several interviews where he claims he is one of the under thirty five white working stiffs in the country. That may have held true a long time ago but he has found his disconnect somewhere along the line. Moore has it figured out that it's the broken, depressed, struggling, angry, embittered, dispossessed working and non working stiffs that are standing in the way of blowing up the whole god damn system that he loathes. The blow hard, Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Bill Blow, Billy Bob Blow of Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the rabid, the fervent that must be formatted into their own demise as this is the hill they've become entrenched to die on. With pen in hand he sets out to write the script to their demise, the point of contention here is that you cannot write that which couldn't be foreseeably foreseen let along conceived than it actually happens, that being gays and transgendered running things inside the white house. Another couldn't be foreseeably foreseen was President Trump, not from all the polls, not from all the hate, not from the fact he hadn't yet won the nomination but Moore addresses him as such in a written thought.
Coming back to the hotel after appearing on Bill Maher’s Republican Convention special this week on HBO, a man stopped me. “Mike,” he said, “we have to vote for Trump. We HAVE to shake things up.” That was it. That was enough for him. To “shake things up.” President Trump would indeed do just that, and a good chunk of the electorate would like to sit in the bleachers and watch that reality show.
He doesn't say a President Trump, Trump, or Donald Trump he addresses him as President Trump. At the end of Trumpland Moore utters the word "set". Meaning the stage has been set. Moore even has the math worked out in that set:
And this is where the math comes in. In 2012, Mitt Romney lost by 64 electoral votes. Add up the electoral votes cast by Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It’s 64. All Trump needs to do to win is to carry, as he’s expected to do, the swath of traditional red states from Idaho to Georgia (states that’ll never vote for Hillary Clinton), and then he just needs these four rust belt states. He doesn’t need Florida. He doesn’t need Colorado or Virginia. Just Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And that will put him over the top. This is how it will happen in November.
So where am I going with all this? It goes back to connecting the dots, you find that first connection than search for a motivator. Doesn't matter if you can connect a dot if you can't find a motivator or motivation. Once you find motivation all the other dots will start to connect. Moore has the skill set, Moore has the political connections, Moore has the motivation. He never wants to hear himself utter "Trust me it wont happen again in our lifetime". Once acknowledging there'd eventually be dispossession from the Obama legacy he sat out like a rabid, fervent one to take down the last constitutional right left to the Joe, Steve, Bob, Bill and Billy Bob Blows in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the right to vote. What he labels the Jesse Venture Effect and he literally loathes it:
The Jesse Ventura Effect. Finally, do not discount the electorate’s ability to be mischievous or underestimate how any millions fancy themselves as closet anarchists once they draw the curtain and are all alone in the voting booth. It’s one of the few places left in society where there are no security cameras, no listening devices, no spouses, no kids, no boss, no cops, there’s not even a friggin’ time limit. You can take as long as you need in there and no one can make you do anything. You can push the button and vote a straight party line, or you can write in Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. There are no rules. And because of that, and the anger that so many have toward a broken political system, millions are going to vote for Trump not because they agree with him, not because they like his bigotry or ego, but just because they can.
Certainly sounds like a selling point to a room full of millionaires, he definitely isn't talking to the electorate, your the ones being mischievous to the agenda, underestimated in your rabid and fervent ways, he's even upset you don't have friggin time limit.
They essentially lost everything they had except for one thing, the one thing that doesn't cost them a cent and it's guaranteed to them by the American constitution, the right to vote. They might be penniless, they might be homeless, they might f'n not, it doesn't matter because it's equalized on that day. A millionaire has the same number of votes as the person without a job. One. And there's more of the former middle class than there are in the millionaire class.
How do you equalize something like that. You get both parties to come together to weaponize the system giving constituents what they wanted then instill fear of it being taken away. You use issue driven narratives to drive people to the polls while getting ballot measures to expand mail in ballots, early voting, etc., until you make it almost as easy as sitting at home on an X Box and vote, as Moore would otherwise describe it. If people could sit at home and vote from their X Box democrats would win every time he exclaimed. This is where Moore's " What you see is what you get and you believe what he is saying is actually what he believes" comes into play, not only with Trump but with his beloved Obama. ISIS is a JV team, we don't have anything to fear from Muslims, racism runs rampant in America, transgenders have a right to use bathrooms that align with their identify, gays have a right to marry, open border policies, climate change is real I visited some Eskimo's and seen it for myself, every talking point Moore hit on when it came to the democratic party Obama embellished. Instead of a promise to unite Americans Obama set the stage to divide Americans, all to attempt to drive voters to the polls in historic numbers when the stage was set. That stage wouldn't be complete without a threat that could erase it. Trump did exactly that on day one, he erased whatever he could by executive order of the Obama legacy. By the time the 2020 election rolled around we'd see the left driven to the polls on same issues Moore predicted that drove the right in 2016 to vote for Trump, fear driven giveth and taketh. Moore was so good he even knew what was going to come about due to that day.
So they voted to leave Europe, (as he often refers to Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania as being American's Brexit states) only to find out if you vote to leave Europe you actually have to leave Europe and now they regret it. All the Ohioans, Pennsylvanians, Michiganders, Wisconsinites of middle England, right, they all voted to leave and now they regret it and over four million of them have signed a petition to have a do over, they want another election, it ain't gonna happen because you used the ballot box as an anger management tool and now your fucked. The rest of Europe they're like bye Felicia. So when the rightfully angry people of Ohio, and Michigan, and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin find out after a few months in office that President Trump wasn't going to do a damn thing for them it'll be to late to do anything about it. But I get it, you wanted to send a message, you had righteous anger and justifiable anger, well that's your set. Good night America, you just elected the last president of the United States.
Remember Moore wrote this in 2016 and exactly as stated that eventually people would demand a do over, for the last two years people have demand exactly that, a do over of the 2020 election. Where ever Moore bought his crystal ball I want to order one just like that. They've spent the last three elections expanding ballot access initiatives using anger driven issues and now you are fucked. Now it just as easy to vote as it is to sit there playing X Box. But here's where it isn't equalized quite yet.
The equalization comes in Moore's mathematical formula. If battleground states weren't battleground states anymore by falling in with the blue slated states than it become equalized. The states that propelled Trump to victory could do the same for the other blue dominated states. That's what they are after. Despite what Moore says about Michigan, even a couple other states he repeatedly names, Ohio, Wisconsin, haven't shown a historical pattern of being sworn true blue, Pennsylvania may be on the verge of a historical loss to blue status but not the other three. If what he said about Michigan held true democratic operatives wouldn't have had to get the most likely to win thrown off the ballot. They had to cheat to turn a forty year reign by republicans out of the Michigan house and senate. So despite all the increased ballot initiatives they have gotten passed there is still hope for Michigan if the right candidates make it onto the ballots. Time will tell because the last one not only increased the time period for voting but included adding postage.
There is though a caveat involved and that's removing the man who has been undermining the republican constituency. Donald J Trump. Like stated above Trump is taking in the lions share of republican donor money leaving candidates scrambling for money. Also as stated above he is running a contra operation inside the party that is dividing the party itself. A screed on Truth Social pointed to exactly what I am talking about when he accused the very people he endorsed here in Michigan of having cost the party seats in the mid terms saying the abortion issue was poorly handled, especially those who firmly insisted on no exceptions even in cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother. He than went on to say that republicans who pushed so hard for no abortions who got their wish from the US Supreme Court just disappeared and didn't vote. Last he focused on Mitch as the money problem when Trump himself wasn't spreading the wealth. Democrats couldn't run the commercials enough of his endorsed candidates claiming no exceptions, no contraceptives and no uncontested divorces. It's pretty evident how he's playing the game. Conquer than dividing the base.
The most tall tale sign though is Trump going in the complete opposite direction that Moore is focused on, the state of Arizona when it comes to the election fraud claims. For all intended purposes in the mathematical equation Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania were vital components to the overall set of election fraud claims. Arizona was always meant to be the distraction away from what took place and is still taking place in the other states. From the moment of Fox News early call out of Biden's win in Arizona all the way to three elections later the complete fraudulent historic takeover of the Michigan house and senate Trump's focus has been Arizona, Arizona, Arizona. A desert land about as far away from the infamous battleground water states that it can get. As Moore put it Trump wouldn't have needed Florida, he doesn't need Colorado, he doesn't need Virginia than he sure as heck never needed Arizona either. Yet here Trump is Arizona, Arizona, Arizona while the robber barons took complete control over Michigan.
When Moore said by the time that Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania figure out President Trump wasn't going to do a damn thing for them it'll be to late to do anything about it this is what he meant. Well, that's your set. Good night America you just elected the last president of the United States, Donald J Trump, your last so called American presidential rebel. Your vote has now been equalized if you let the reality show continue.
