    You're not facing reality if you think they are. BLM loot and burn and have an anti-police agenda. When did Trump try to overthrow the government exactly?

    BLM are not organizing violent protests. That said, I don't like their politics, from support for socialism, their focus on police charged with enforcing laws hurting blacks instead of the laws, to their silence on violent protest.

    BLM don't loot and burn, but they are anti-police. Cops are stuck enforcing oppressive laws (like the idiotic "war on drugs") and should not be the focus of animus.

    1. Lose Trump.
    2. Keep with the idea of the swamp and it's destructive nature and pledge to destroy it. IOW, mean it, by actually doing it.
    3. Be a party that cares about things like spending, corruption and runaway government. IOW, mean it, by actually doing it.
    4. Be open to younger people having a voice.
    5. Be honest about your fringe and how they are your fringe.

    The Trump brand now has a poo-stain for a mascot.

    Note that this guidance could mostly apply to both parties.

    We need a viable third option.

    Yes, I have been watching carefully because BLM has organized peaceful anti-police protests where moderate white people have been openly welcomed to march with blacks. White liberals (not white radicals) aren't anti-police, but they are looking to improve the quality of life for blacks and other visible minorities.

    BLM has in the past year downplayed socialism.

    l can't believe they changed their minds, so I'm watching.

    Their main strategy should be RACE BAITING.(it worked for the left) It sure worked for the left. They should constantly shove images of slaves hung by their DEMOCRAT OWNERS down our throats and constantly bring it up.
    Anyone that disagrees with anything they say should be automatically accused of racism. (it worked for the left)
    Voter fraud (it worked for the left)
    and finally, they need some more people of color in ALL kinds of political positions to shut the racist left up once and for all
    Remember folks, they might have power now, but it is ONLY due to lying, cheating and race baiting and guess what......TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME

    The violent protests and the stupid situations like CHAZ in Seattle aren't BLM initiated.

    Fake News. We have as many GOP Senators as Dem senators, the filibuster and a moderate Democrat or two. Crazy Nancy has the thinnest House majority in 80 years, GOP State and Local control is also at near century highs and you seriously wrote: "they are cast into the wilderness"? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
    Sure like RBG did. You think Joe Manchin is going to rubber stamp nut burgers? He represents West VA, only 3 states are more Republican than WV. His constituents want Constitutionalists/Textualists on the court, not these wanna be legislator Consequentialists.

    I love the way you guys just presume that you have a wide open field to trample the rights of half the nation.
    Who is going to offer them seats, where?
    Of course we will keep rubbing the noses of the lying propagandists that call themselves news, into their own crap. They really deserve it, and we really enjoy rubbing their noses in it.
    Of course. Working class folks that attend church are viewed with disdain by the Left, they fit in very well with the Middle and Working class oriented GOP.
    That takes next to no effort. These riots violate the rights of Americans, that's a backlash that builds itself.
    They link themselves. Check out these Censorious Canceling Harvard Morons. Harvard is supposed to be our finest university exemplifying the greatest attributes of our Constitutional Liberal Democracy and these Morons are crapping themselves in the vile rights violating ideology of National Socialism.

    DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Harvard Students Launch Petition to Revoke Degrees of Trump Supporters in Government.

    Alan Dershowitz Confirms Cruz Was One of His Smartest ...
    [​IMG]https://redstate.com/california_yan...smartest-students-alan-dershowitz-ever-n58336
    Transcript: KELLY: You taught Ted Cruz when he was a young whippersnapper. What is your impression of him?" DERSHOWITZ: He came into my class, literally his first day in law school with his right hand up - not his left hand, his right hand.Everything I said, he challenged me. He was one of the best students I ever had because a teacher loves to be challenged.
    Students and alumni are demanding that the school revoke earned degrees of people who worked in the Trump administration, and even people in other government positions who support him, such as Senator Ted Cruz.

    CNS News:

    Harvard Campaign Seeks to ‘Revoke Degrees’ of Trump Officials and Trump Allies
    I wonder if these ignorant, though highly credential imbeciles know that the actual domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, a personal friend of President Obama, taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago?

    That the fugitive cop-killer Assata Shakur is routinely celebrated by leftists on college campuses in the United States?

    That the anti-Israel terrorist Rasmea Odeh was often invited to speak at American colleges until she was deported?

    America will not be lectured about Ted Cruz being a supporter of terrorism by students who attend a school that awarded a degree to Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber.

    And funny thing, still no petition demanding the revocation of his degree.

    So, while it might be pleasant to fantasize about how we will "survive" our "wilderness experience", I suspect we will do just fine while elements of the Left embarrass the true liberals within the Left so badly that you'll keep wearing masks in the hopes that no one recognises you.

    2022 will be here long before you know it, and watching Crazy Nancy getting thrown headlong back to her ice cream freezer will be a pleasant sight for a grateful nation.

    Nonsense.
    Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone - Wikipedia
    en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Capitol_Hill_Autonomous_Z...

    The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), also known as Free Capitol Hill, the Capitol Hill ... On June 12, Black Lives Matter protesters negotiated with local officials about leaving the zone. The CHAZ's size ... its East Precinct station. Protests continued in Seattle and at the CHOP site over the following days and months.

    BLM is not running autonomous zones all over the country. It wasn't long before Governor Inslee told the Seattle mayor Durkan to put an end to the autonomous zone or he would.

    BLM is a community protest organization. That's what they do.

    You said BLM did not create CHAZ. That was false.

    Read about BLM.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter

    They're a protest organization.

    They're smart enough to know an autonomous zone won't last. My guess is they were trying to negotiate with the mayor.

    Let the left be lefties.

    I'm sure when they **** things up, with total control, and focus on passing identify politics BS bills, they will still blame Trump.

    Republicans were blaming Obama for what exactly?

    The awesome economy built before the virus? The peace that was charted under Trump?

    In exactly what context was this blame Obama stuff presented, because i have been here a long time and I haven't seen it since Trump was elected.

    Please do share

    Here is one GOP strategy, be ready to help as some in the Left come to their senses.

    POLITICO STAFF IN UPROAR OVER BEN SHAPIRO APPEARANCE:

    To its credit, Politico sacked up and issued the kind of statement that is rare whenever the woke Left makes a fuss: It told the wokesters to stuff it.
    More of this.

    Shapiro had, as usual, a deft response to the hubbub:

    Kudos to Politico for not taking the Fake New New York Times/Jeffrey Goldberg route and standing up to their crybully staffers.

    Sure, just like the Japanese at Pearl Harbor were trying to negotiate with FDR. :confuse: BLM created the autonomous zone.

    You would like to make it nothing but the fact is that the words were substantial in that they demonstrate how Republicans TO THIS VERY DAY, pander to white racism. Quotes from the past were necessary to provide the context so that the events of the present can be understood. But perhaps someone needs to educate you on the importance of context.
