I identified you as just a smart prick. Turns out you’re all emotion... strawmen, spin, and a knack for inventing my points. If you don't know why I bring up the election oddities, ask and I'll explain. Dismissing it as irrational says you’re not that smart... I’d figured you were. ...I never said that a civil war is a viable option. I spoke as an observer of what an ideology is capable of, not what it desires. I provided a metaphor for the power disparity that would lead to a decisive win, if it came to it as a last resort.

The calm, clear-eyed stoics are the blue-collar, rural, veterans, and traditionalists that don’t bother with social media. Fathers with responsibility for others... not children. They’ve seen and lived things. Stoic fathers don’t dream of assassinating leaders... they shoot the calf to end its pain, kill the wolf to guard the flock, hunt the turkey to feed their own. I didn’t call up the military or tally guns; you spun that. And you skipped where I said war’s a mess no one wants. Read harder. ...and the stats show who’s armed.

Well you opened with nuance failure about progressives / open borders. But sure... You sidestepped whether progressive policies indirectly suppress wages. You blamed libertarians and companies but don’t answer the question. You admitted illegal workers keep costs low, yet ignored how they undercut citizens’ pay. Your ‘who else will do these jobs?’ assumes no one would, with no proof. And you dodge the issue by insulting uneducated workers. Many words that Avoid. Deflect. Contradict. the core claim that progressive policy for lax border enforcement allows more illegal workers into the U.S., which suppresses wages for low-skill American citizens.

Outlandish? ...that progressive outcomes can actually work against social justice? "Social justice means giving everyone a fair chance at a good life, no matter who they are, by fighting unfair stuff like being poor or treated badly, using teamwork and changes." Progressive enable unfair wages via illegal labor through open borders and lax enforcement. Open borders and weak enforcement leads to more illegal workers. With illegal workers willing to work for less because they are here illegally and cannot demand better, their wages stay low or drop. Actual citizens lacking skills and education cannot compete with illegal alien wages... and an increase in illegal workers can cut wages for low-skill citizen workers. Progressives (and others) that support illegal labor are screwing American citizens. ... A similar line of reason extends easily to criminal rights over victims, etc. The words sound nice and the deeds are not...

I see and appreciate what you are saying... but pitbull is a stretch. Progressives are less about defending their territory and more about dragging everyone into their yard. A pitbull doesn't care what you are doing in your yard but they will end you quickly in defense of theirs. If not a jack russell terrier, a progressive is more like a border collie. A collie had a lot of positive traits that fit... but the progressive has less discipline...

It’s not about progressives living their views or ruling themselves; it’s when they force those views on the majority, stripping freedom, grabbing resources, and breaking trust. That’s when the patience ends. You can replace 'progressive' with most ideologies and cross a line. The math is not in the progressive's favor is the point being made, in a dogmatic manner of speaking.

It wasn't fully rhetoric and it wasn't about Harris specifically. The calm, clear-eyed stoics would eventually move to violence if there was continuation of progressive culture and policies. It takes a lot longer for the silent majority of strength to respond, but it would be effective and efficient when moved to act.

What is a critical thinkers framework to 2020 election being the most secure ever? Observe oddities, ask questions, seek answers... Oddities The Spanish flu pandemic saw a decrease in voters. Yet the covid pandemic saw 23M more votes in 2020 compared to 2016, and more votes than the "most consequential election in U.S. history” 2024 vote. 19 states had no ID rules. Ballot harvesting is legal in some states Counting was paused Real people testified to problems that resulted in 60 court cases; mostly tossed on standing rather than merit. Favorito's Georgia case (145K ballots) still lingers in 2025. The Biden laptop suppression... The "Cabal" steering outcomes... “Hundreds of millions” spent to change rules, influence media, and control info flow. The published article in the Times about "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that saved the 2020 election." You mentioned Dominion... okay The University of Michigan computer science professor J. Alex Halderman hacked the Dominion ImageCast X machine in multiple ways from seconds to minutes in front of government officials. Now ask questions... And seek answers...

I didn't say J6 is propaganda, I said propaganda is spun throughout. You seem to see it through one lens and not through both. This doesn't reflect well critical thinking. Very similar reflection on election security rhetoric. There are many signals, you brought up "Dominion." That isn't one that I was thinking of... though I wouldn't exclude it based on evidence.
