The 7 Aces in the Hole That Give Liberals the Advantage Over Conservatives

[Smokin' OP]

I do not think Conservatives really realize how bad things are.....certainly not the Republicans in Congress.

Is it possible to somehow turn things around? Possible but the odds are against it. If the Republicans can somehow prevent the democrats from cheating during the mid term elections and win control of the house and the Senate...then the possibility of turning things around are much better.

Somehow the Republicans must reach the Americans at the grass root level and get them involved like never before....it is really up to the people do they want to save America or let it fall further down into the leftist hell hole?

One of the biggest mistakes we conservatives often make is treating politics like it’s the starting point for solving America’s problems, when most of the time, it’s the endpoint. In

rightwingnews.com

the conservatives biggest problem is they vote for republicans,,
stop doing that and focus on the constitution and the freedom its meant tp provide and they might get somewhere,,

that was one hilarious post...the democrats only care about crushing the will of the people

Really?
In Arizona the RW legislators want a law, allowing them to veto the votes by electors and the popular vote.
In Georgia their RW legislature has the ability now to remove local election boards and install their own.
Plenty of other RW states are proposing the same laws.

RW projection.

republicans are not rightwing,, and the law being passed is perfectly legal and abides by the constitution,,

Yes, they are RW and being able to overturn votes and declare a winner the states legislators approve of should be against the US constitution, guess the founding fathers didn't foresee RW corruption of this magnitude.
That's why right wing republicans are against the for the people act HR-1 .

Various voting districts are neck-deep in voting fraud. You don't actually believe that 80 million people really voted for the senile idiot that the Democraps nominated, do you?

The best thing the democrats have going for them is that the Republican Party is still around and happily yielding the political middle. This is why you see the GOP trying to make it very hard to vote...they have shrunk their tent to the point where they can only win competitive elections through gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics.

I wonder why the Op, or any one for that matter would want republicans in office. Republicans have never put forth any legislation that have helped the average American. You right wingers have social security and Medicare because of democrats. Notice that republicans were the ones who pushed huge tax cuts for the rich. Reagan, Bush2, and this trump piece of shit. This has defunded a lot of projects that could have been used to upgrade America's infrastructure, for example. This is why we have such poor infrastructure compared to other modern countries. Look at the poverty in the red states. Some of the worst counties are in Mc Connel's state. It's always republicans cheerleading the cutting of food stamps etc. for example. Criminality. Pound for pound the republicans are way worse even though posters here are always referring to corrupt democrats. Obama.... zero problems. Trump? Look at all of his buddies who've been indicted, jailed, pardoned by him, on and on.
The various courts in this country are getting ready to try this trump piece of shit on civil and criminal matters now that his filthy ass is out of office. Biden? Perfect record although these whiney bitch republicans are trying to make something out of this Hunter Biden thing. Any way, one link below on Mc Connell's state and poor republicans.

Only because states are overreaching their authority within their state, that's why.

15th amendment
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Section 2.
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.


The Elections Clause is the primary source of constitutional authority to regulate elections for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. The Clause directs and empowers states to determine the “Times, Places, and Manner” of congressional elections, subject to Congress’s authority to “make or alter” state regulations. It grants each level of government the authority to enact a complete code for such elections, including rules concerning public notices, voter registration, voter protection, fraud prevention, vote counting, and determination of election results. Whenever a state enacts a law relating to a congressional election, it is exercising power under the Elections Clause; states do not have any inherent authority to enact such measures.

Although the Elections Clause makes states primarily responsible for regulating congressional elections, it vests ultimate power in Congress. Congress may pass federal laws regulating congressional elections that automatically displace (“preempt”) any contrary state statutes, or enact its own regulations concerning those aspects of elections that states may not have addressed. The Framers of the Constitution were concerned that states might establish unfair election procedures or attempt to undermine the national government by refusing to hold elections for Congress. They empowered Congress to step in and regulate such elections as a self-defense mechanism.

The AZ legislation proposed by one person seems a little off to me as well...I haven't researched it enough

The GA law is met to fix some of the problems we have seen by local Dem run Boards that have created long lines...prior to the law the State could only come in AFTER the fact, now the law allows them to come in on election day and fix the situtations crreated by long lines:

" While you would not learn this from the Democrats or their sympathetic media coverage, S.B. 202 actually takes steps to fix those long lines. Georgia law previously allowed the state to override local election officials and require them to add more precincts or voting machines if people were left standing on line for an hour after the polls closed. S.B. 202 expands that authority, so that the state can step in and require more polling places or voting machines if voters in overcrowded precincts face lines of an hour or more at any of three measured intervals during the day. Read the new section for yourself:

No, they haven't, the only ones creating long lines in polling places were republicans.

Texas is the biggest state culprit in closing down polling locations. They've eliminated 750 since Shelby, part of a state Republican effort to "centralize" voting. The premise is to allow voters to vote at any open polling place ... while closing them in large numbers.

But it's Georgia that has perhaps been the most shameless. "Georgia stands out because its counties have closed higher percentages of voting locations than any other state in our study," say the authors.

The top five closers of polling places by percentage were Georgia counties: The top three counties in the state were Lumpkin (89 percent closed); Stephens (88 percent closed); and Warren, which is 61 percent African American (83 percent closed). Bacon County, which is 15 percent African American, and Butts County, which is 28 percent African American, tied with 80 percent closed. Seven counties with major polling place reductions now have only one polling site to serve hundreds of square miles. crooksandliars.com › 2019/09/1688-polling-places

Both states have republicans as governors and legislators.

The biggest ace in the hole, and the one that matters the most is that all major social media (information sharing), and most of your major corporations are run by leftists, or people sympathetic to left wing ideology.

When you have one party controlling the flow of information, and being in control of a majority of commerce, and employment, you have a lot of clout.

If you look at what has been happening, the left are trying to drive the right under ground. They are trying to make it a crime to hold conservative views. This is why the cancel culture is working, mostly, in one direction. You have a lot of people on the right being targeted.

I'm sure it won't be long until you will have to watch what you say on social media, because if your boss finds out, they will terminate you for it.

If Republican's want to reach people, they need to recognize a few realities.

The "Culture War" is effectively a non-starter, it's over. Culture changes, and we are far from the days of the Cleavers in Leave it to Beaver. You can't put that genii back in the bottle, nor would we want to. What was a "good time" for some Americans was not for others.

The value of marriage...the decline in marriage rates. What should Republicans do there? Anything? In recognizing that marriage is often a stabilizing factor in human societies, married couples tend to build more wealth, invest in the future a bit more - maybe Republicans need to drop the idea that marriage can only be between a man and a woman. The majority of Americans, particularly among young people, support same sex marriage. The Republicans need to get behind this and move on (if they can't get behind it, at least remove opposition to it).

Demographics. That actually has the potential to favor Republicans if they can drop the cultural baggage. There are a lot of people that would potentially embrace the Republican Party on a number of core values: patriotism (real patriotism, not the fake crap that passes for it on the right now); fiscal responsibility; essential freedoms and liberty. Ironically in the tangle of "culture wars" and demographic groups...there is fruit for the picking. Many Latin American immigrants are culturally conservative, but turned off by the politics of anti-immigration and the demonizing of immigrants from Latin America (yes, you can claim it's only about illegal immigrants, but it spills over into an overall anti-immigrant stance towards Latin America, Africa and other non-European countries with the idea they are poor trash of shit hole countries). Many African Americans are among the more religious and traditional in values. If Republicans shed the "black thug" mentality and the idea that successful blacks only got there by Affirmative Action...and reached out, they could probably attract more. Muslims, similarly, tend to be very conservative...yet are turned away by the Republican politics demonizing an entire religion. Many immigrants come here with a strong work ethic, start small businesses, and become contributing members of society. They come from countries where they did not have those opportunities. With so many small business owners among them, you would think they would be a perfect target for the GoP, but if anything the GoP has made a sharp turn away under Trump.

The Republicans have turned themselves into the party of nativism and nationalism...disconnected from the larger culture of it's nation. It's driven many from it's party to call themselves independents....and it's driven many towards the Democrats because they don't see any alternative. Yet there are many Americans, I'm sure, beyond the minority base - who could support the Republicans if they reached out...and recognized what people want.

There is a reason why one of their lawyers admitted that the only way they can win now is by suppressing the vote. They can't win on ideas.

Many immigrants come here with a strong work ethic, start small businesses, and become contributing members of society. They come from countries where they did not have those opportunities. With so many small business owners among them, you would think they would be a perfect target for the GoP, but if anything the GoP has made a sharp turn away under Trump.

The Republicans have turned themselves into the party of nativism and nationalism...disconnected from the larger culture of it's nation. It's driven many from it's party to call themselves independents....and it's driven many towards the Democrats because they don't see any alternative. Yet there are many Americans, I'm sure, beyond the minority base - who could support the Republicans if they reached out...and recognized what people want.

There is a reason why one of their lawyers admitted that the only way they can win now is by suppressing the vote. They can't win on ideas.

What exactly is this “larger culture” you speak of?

I do not think Conservatives really realize how bad things are.....certainly not the Republicans in Congress.

Is it possible to somehow turn things around? Possible but the odds are against it. If the Republicans can somehow prevent the democrats from cheating during the mid term elections and win control of the house and the Senate...then the possibility of turning things around are much better.

Somehow the Republicans must reach the Americans at the grass root level and get them involved like never before....it is really up to the people do they want to save America or let it fall further down into the leftist hell hole?

The 7 Aces in the Hole That Give Liberals the Advantage Over Conservatives - John Hawkins' Right Wing News

One of the biggest mistakes we conservatives often make is treating politics like it’s the starting point for solving America’s problems, when most of the time, it’s the endpoint. In

The biggest ace in the hole, and the one that matters the most is that all major social media (information sharing), and most of your major corporations are run by leftists, or people sympathetic to left wing ideology.

When you have one party controlling the flow of information, and being in control of a majority of commerce, and employment, you have a lot of clout.

If you look at what has been happening, the left are trying to drive the right under ground. They are trying to make it a crime to hold conservative views. This is why the cancel culture is working, mostly, in one direction. You have a lot of people on the right being targeted.

I'm sure it won't be long until you will have to watch what you say on social media, because if your boss finds out, they will terminate you for it.

Yes, they can, thanks to the right wingers who passed all those "right to fire" laws in most states.

Yes, "right wingers' believe an owner of a company has the right to fire someone...why on Earth do you think you have the right to tell someone they can't let someone go?

A legit reason.
Being on social media shouldn't be one, unless you're wearing the company's shirt, trashing the boss or the company, that is personal stupidity.
Age or being replaced by someone with less experience because you make too much $$$.

Your employer has no obligation to keep you on.

If you get fired for no reason you can collect unemployment
