If the polls are actually right...

... and Democrats get the hat trick (House/Senate/White House), America as we knew it gets kicked to the curb. If indeed that happens, what can reasonable Americans who find themselves on the outside do to counter the impending craziness on a day-to-day basis?? That is my question?
From George Orwell’s “1984:” “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Orwell was so right.

Good thing they are not

Trust that God does all things for the good of the Church.

Know that this is just a brief, painful moment in time.

If the Democrats win I hope they will go slow and leave the losing 45% of Americans with a voice and representation.
My fear is they will pack the court and add DC and Puerto Rico as States ensuring a blue Senate for generations to come.
This will leave 45% of the Nation without a voice or representation, and that is when the war starts.

I think we must be shown how screwed up things can get when we start tinkering with the greatest political system in the history of the world, and we'll need to get to the "Had enough?" point and vote it back to normalcy. Adding 2 slam-dunk states; packing the court with liberals; ostracizing "the other side" into obscurity? I'm not seeing a return path any time soon if the Dems take it all.

We're at the same point we were in 2016, but I'm still a bit nervous. I keep asking myself this question: How can this many Americans be this stupid and naive?

bullshite. Grow a pair. Stop using god as an excuse to be a puss. The left has absolutely used god as a weapon against most of you. The churches are nothing like they were in the early 20th century. They’re more liberal indoctrination centers than houses of the holy.

Democrats will stack the Supreme Court, open the borders and give Puerto Rico and D. C. statehood.
If there's anything we've learned from the last four years it is that they're willing to do anything to get and keep power.

Are you fricking high? What about their past and current actions give you any reason to believe they’ll “go slow”? Just the freaking opposite...they’ll go scorched earth.

You're right on. I despise this idea. These are the same idiots that want persecution to happen so the church will grow and be authentic but then wont go to church/are okay with churches closing because of a glorified Chinese cold.

I don’t think that’s what the poster was implying at all. I do see your point to an extent, but it certainly doesn’t fit my beliefs and the folks I associate with. Biblical adversity gave us Moses, Joshua, David and others and I believe it will again, if that’s what it comes to.

Nothing...America is over...Global totalitarianism is here...Obama is probably the first World President...1984...Everything is already in place...
THE OBAMA/BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WAS RUN JUST LIKE THE MOB..PAY TO PLAY..AMERICA FOR SALE..AND THE FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS, ETC., WERE THE MUSCLE TO KEEP EVERYONE IN LINE..AND TO MAKE PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR...TRUMP IS PRESIDENT, BUT THE REMNANTS OF THEIR ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES..

I think people need to calm down and try and remember 2009-10. The dems had majorities greater than they could get this election.....it still took them two year and a ton of political capital in order to pass a watered down ACA. Even this there was a tremendous amount of acrimony of the law.
There are probably 35-50 seats in the lower chamber that are technically purple. Those folks will be tapping the brakes when all of this crazy talk starts.
Dont forget....you have to get 3/5s in the senate to get beyond cloture. You are allowed one budget related reconciliation bill a year. Everything else requires 3/5s to move onto the floor.
Also, keep in mind SCOTUS could throw a wrench in the dems plan by striking down the ACA in november. They would likely give congress 12-24 months to pass a replacement before it sunsets.
That would mean you can only use reconciliation for one of the items below:
-ACA replacement
-2022 budget & appropriations
-stimulus
Pushing stimulus to the next congress is a good idea as it crowds out their reconciliation options.

What about today’s modern “church” is in any way comparable to the time frame you’re referencing? Your examples are thousands of years old.
If anyone tried to be Moses today, the justice department would send the ATF and FBI to his compound, burn it down, and kill everyone. Either that, or modern day Moses would take his flock to some wilderness and make them all drink poisoned kool aid.
ETA: Some modern “leaders” aren’t that different than David...slept with another man’s wife (one of his soldiers) and killed the soldier to cover it up.
quote:
David then ordered that Uriah be moved to the front-line of a battle, where he was killed. David married the widowed Bathsheba, but their first child died as punishment from God for David's adultery and murder of Uriah. David repented of his sins, and Bathsheba later gave birth to Solomon.
Hell...it’s like it came from the clinton/biden playbook. LOL
Screw this thread. It’s all too depressing to even think about.

The irony is the big cities who voted for this will get hit the hardest. Chaos is going to rain down in those areas when the economy and rule of law go to hell.

The idea of them Adding two states and packing the courts terrifies me. It would all be over at that point without an armed revolution

I want an organization to join.
