One must win, one must lose.
One of the great semantic debates of the past decade has been the ongoing attempt to muddle the definition of “Left vs Right” in the American political sphere. For example, a lot of people who are new to the liberty movement (people who became active during or after the Trump campaign in 2016) have heard of the “false left/right paradigm”, but they have no clue what it actually means. If you think it means there are no legitimate political sides in this fight and that the entire conflict is theatrical or manipulated, then you are misinformed.
The false left/right paradigm specifically refers to the fake division at the VERY TOP of the political pyramid among elitists in government. There are certainly Republicans that are conservative in their rhetoric but not conservative in their actions or policies, and they tend to support or side with politicians on the left regularly when it comes to big government spending and big government power (just look to the Republicans that voted in favor of Joe Biden’s recent infrastructure bill).
Democrats and leftists don’t have to pretend. They base their entire platform on collectivism and centralization. This is no secret. The only theater is in their motives. Top Democrats claim they are fighting for the “greater good” of the masses when they are actually elevating and benefiting a tiny minority of wealthy elites. They do not care at all about the lives of their constituents.
Things change dramatically when we start talking about the bottom of the pyramid among regular people. The political spectrum is not as broad and nuanced as some people would have us believe and the sides are much easier to discern. There are exceptions to every rule and to every group, but to say the groups do not exist is an act of denial.
There are also people who call themselves “moderates” because they think this makes them more impartial and more open-minded. They don’t want to appear as if they are moving to one “extreme” end of the spectrum or the other. But, ultimately, there are only two sides in this fight: Either you are in favor of intensive government dominance of people’s lives, or you are not. And, the vast majority of people in favor of government tyranny herald from the left side of the political spectrum. They revel in the totalitarianism, even when they don’t necessarily benefit from it.
The bottom line is that proof is seen in action: Red states are free, blue states are enslaved. There’s no way around that.
The debate is over, at least in terms of left vs. right. The differences are stark and painfully obvious. Places with majority conservative populations are still fighting the mandates while places with a majority of leftists are perpetuating tyranny. It cannot be denied. It cannot be argued. This is reality. In this day and age if you want to be free you make sure you are surrounded by conservatives, or you become a conservative.
There is not a single blue state in the country that is not on the war path to enforce Biden’s vax mandates. There is not a single blue city in the country that is not trying to subversively teach CRT in schools. And, there is not a single blue region in the country that is not obsessed with wokism and globalism. The truth is, America has split into two completely different cultures with two completely different social objectives.
There are principles and ideals which are mutually exclusive; they cannot exist within the same society at the same time. There are moments in history when tribes form and cults rise, and generally these groups grow from either a desire to control others or a desire to remain free. We are living in such times.
We are indeed, although it’s also obvious that many if not most of us are not reconciled to that harsh reality just yet. But like it or not, they will be, probably sooner than any of us might imagine or wish. Which is where an even harsher reality shoves an oar in.
And that, folks, is foremost among numerous reasons why I unequivocally, categorically insist that there will be no secession, no geographical or political division, no “national divorce” without violent conflict—not EVER. Which, mind, does NOT suggest that there ain’t gonna be a division. In fact, I’m entirely confident that there will be, and that right soon. Actually, it seems apparent to me that, as Brandon says, it’s already in progress, whether we realize it or not. But the pattern of history indicates that our Great Schism enjoins all participants to wade through a veritable ocean of blood before the transition from purely theoretical into daily reality will be established.
There will be no “division”, because they have already decided they want all or nothing.
Very well. Challenge accepted.
This will get started, and of necessity, there will only be one side left standing when it finishes, because that will be the only side left, period.
They started this fight. We’re going to have to finish it.
Mao noted that “power comes out of the barrel of a gun”.
So does peace, tranquility, and being left alone.
For both sides.
(What happens to them in any Hereafter is entirely their own problem.)
They were so close they could taste it was what they thought in 2016. They really believed that the Republican Nominee was a Clown and a Joke.
Those of us who knew Trump was the Real Deal kept the Faith and voted like the Country depended upon it. It did.
The problem was that everyone but the most cynical amongst us didn’t know how deep the Deep State rot had gone into the body politic. When Sessions betrayed us and then Mattis it was a shock.
Of course, we are now at Peak Cynicism and I STILL don’t think we’re cynical enough, because their “Win” just emboldened them over the Course of the Scamdemic and ScamElection and ScamInsurrection and now the ScamPresidency.
All or Nothing. It’s Germany 1933, Russia 1917, China 1949. All rolled into one.

The interesting thing is that most on the other side have had the kill shot. One of the effects that is starting to be reported is that the vaxxed are suffering gradual loss of B- and T-cell precursors in bone marrow, which means that they wind up with varying degrees of immunosuppression, or potentially no immune system at all, kind of like what AIDS did to people. So they might end up hoist on their own petards…
O frabjous day!
Callou! Callay!
