I am thinking about the days following November 5th, when the egregious edifice for malfeasance the Uniparty has constructed is likely to be grinding toward a conclusion in counting (or more likely miscounting) the votes – legitimate and otherwise.

When a winner is declared some days or weeks later, half of this country is going to be the most obdurately pissed off this nation has ever experienced – at least since the First Civil War.

If Trump miraculously overcomes the colossal chicanery arrayed to keep him out of office the opposition will be less emotionally disciplined and more likely to commit impulsive acts of mayhem. If the Uniparty wins the opposition will be less spontaneous, but more serious in intent. A demographic that includes many more hunters and ex-soldiers will have experience and skill sets better suited for planned operations. Neither scenario is to be hoped for.

Either way, it would be fatuous to suppose that the opposing sides can possibly be reconciled by the new regime. How do we, as individuals, expect to react to the election’s outcome, and to those who cannot accept it? I know I would/will loathe a new Uniparty administration and expect the very worst, up to and including the complete demolition of any vestige of democracy and the imposition of a totalitarian state.

Most of my friends are well-meaning old-fashioned liberals, who would/will be thrilled with a slightly black, woman president (as they were thrilled with Obama) and just as oblivious to the inevitable betrayal that will follow. When they realize that the Virus X Pandemic Lockdown is permanent and that their shiny new plastic CBDC card enslaves them to the wishes of the ruling class it will be too late to resist its total control of the lives of all of us.

My relationship with those liberal friends, who have conscientiously absorbed the official Narrative crafted for them by the Uniparty is extremely delicate these days. Their credulity is no harmless foible; it is enabling the destruction of this nation. If their side is declared the winner I will be unable to keep from feeling contempt for their complicity. If they smirk and gloat over winning, I will necessarily despise them, along with the despotic regime they have put in power.

They already bitterly resent my refutation of their beloved narrative, and may well hate my guts if Mr. Trump prevails. In that event, there can be no reconciliation, no pretending that they are still “good patriotic Americans.” They will have applauded the destruction of our civil liberties, embraced every sort of falsehood, and pitched in to help construct the prison in which we nearly found ourselves permanently incarcerated.

Those who think this nation was truly reunited after the Civil War have never lived in the south. Many Southerners never willingly rejoined the union, but just lived their lives in occupied territory. It’s arguable that the only actual benefit of Lincoln’s having preserved the Union was to avoid having a permanently hostile state at its southern border.

There are currently active secessionist movements in twelve US states, in addition to regional secessionist sentiment in much of the country. After the next Inauguration Day will you want to share a country with those who have trashed everything this nation once stood for? There is much to think about.

Don't forget the lithium mine near Ashville. Lots of if stories about blocking all traffic, low-ball cash offerings for property, no intent to recover and identify bodies-just bull doze them away, all for buying property cheap around the critical resource mine.

Go look at Maui now to see what Appalachia will look like a year plus down the road.

Western NC response looks exactly like Maui -- land grab.

We live under evil people. We cannot win playing nice. We need alpha men/women to use the full force of law to ensure "their type never rises again."

Enough of this gentlemanly crap. Gloves off, street fight!
