What fools those Lincoln Project dopes are.
Already they are no longer useful to the Dems , so one by one they will be thrown under the bus.
Pelosi’s day is coming.
Shooting her mouth off will be her undoing.
Already Naxine Waters is being targeted for giving her daughter a quarter of a million dollars.
Also We will fight back against tyranny.
Whether we use guns remains to be seen.

Not sure about an uprising yet but this was posted in my little neighborhood forum this morning:

Trump sign and home shot at!!! Last night 1030 someone shoot four shoots at our house and our Trump sign is gone. Possibly A gray or light blue Honda accord with a loud muffler. We all have the right to put whatever we want in OUR yards. And it’s pathetic people would shoot over something like this. How many Biden signs are getting shot up or vandalized? SMH

This resulted in:
Well...what did you expect?

It's over - take down your damn sign!

If you don't like it - move!

Probably just kids!!!!

*I hope she puts her sign back up - there were very few Biden signs even before the election*

Clarice-

John Weaver's grooming exploits were laid out in the NYSlimes today. Since the story's been passed around on the intertubes for months, threatening Rudy over it yesterday has turned into quite the show. All of them quite patently were aware of Weaver's actions. Lincolners now going after Rep. Greene, Wilson in particular, will probably turn out just as well.

I think it misunderstands their arrogance and will to power to think they'll just let anyone secede.

You don't think many will just say "Good riddance"? Also, I suspect the vast majority of the military is from states that would join the secession.

In any case, I'm not saying it's likely, but just less unlikely than a full-scale overthrow, at least not before we turn into Venezuela.

Kathryn Anne,

This is a continual argument I was having with my daughter today, who told me I sound like a democrat because I was ranting about that whole Wall Street thing, and she immediately said that I couldn't care about that stuff because I voted for Trump.

So I asked her what she believes in and it was the usual "education, helping the poor, peace, " and I pointed out that we have had no war for 4 years. Yes, but Trump is bad because some BS lawsuits from women. BUT, I can't talk about the Biden family.

These evil people get into power by demonstrating at the local and state level that they are able to get votes while willing to do illegal stuff (like siphoning money out of funds for schools, for example). If they are good at it, they move up the ladder and get involved in MORE illegal and corrupt stuff. NO ONE PUNISHES THEM if they are caught, other than fines and slaps on the wrist.

For all I know they get votes bought for them through vote fraud, even by foreign powers. Then they blame the black community for someone like Maxine Waters getting elected because the "GOP is racist." Maxine is an obvious crook and an ignoramus but she is now heading the FINANCE COMMITTEE in the House.

I am getting myself worked up again so I had better stop.

Stephanie:

I first heard of the nudge when Hillary was the secretary of state. She went to a meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (now Organization of Islamic Cooperation). The OIC wanted the USA to codify Islams blasphemy laws.

Hillary said that it would be hard to do because of the First Amendment protections. She did however say that people should be nudged in the right direction.

Unfortunately, nudging has become outright coercion. We are the stage where people, businesses and even those in government, are coercing people to do what they want.

The attacks need to be stopped, and people made to pay a heavy price for coercive tactics. But how to do this is the question.

Where do you find attorneys who will fight for the rights of an individual or company if attorneys are coerced into not representing anyone who is not Woke. If you can get an attorney to fight for you, what happens when the judge throws the case on some novel (made up) argument about standing.

Re Pin’s link to a movie about stealing an airliner, I know nothing about the movie, but had a friend who actually did it. “Ike” Eisenhower was Bobby Vesco’s pilot. Bobby bought a shiny new 707 long before anything like a G-550 was available. She was dubbed Silver Phyllis. Bobby was a pal of Nixon and Bebe Reboso and Ike proceeded to entertain the two of them by doing a slow roll flyby off a beach in the Caribbean. Then later when Bobby was under scrutiny for some of the fun Wall Street shenanigans, he initially repaired to Panama to hang out with Noriega. I don’t recall how Bobby left there, but it was without Silver Phyllis. So Ike and a couple buds went back and stole it.

The last time I saw Ike he was limping badly. Turns out he blew out a knee holding top rudder while doing a barrel roll in a B-25.

Some people live interesting lives.

[sbwaters]

A draft of an essay, not an editorial.
Headline: Looming danger you may not yet see

While socialism and fascism restrict individuality in society, they are not the major reason to challenge many who covet leadership. Once in power, they often display they cannot tolerate challenges to their perceived reality.

Normal people adapt to reality as they discover more about it. They make decisions based on a mental map of reality they refine over time to more closely match the reality their senses perceive.

Not so for disturbed people. They make arguments that are inconsequential and illogical and use words whose meanings are slippery and vague. They use unsound premises with unworthy warrants. Their premises, even if they were valid, would not lead to sound conclusions. Their twisted logic shows inability to face that solutions they propose cause more problems than they solve.

Disturbed people force incompatibilities like tolerance (imposed by repression), acceptance, compassion, empathy, and fairness (conditional and selectively applied), merit (except for special classes of people), free speech (for approved subjects) and compromise (only toward their goals) all that support their claimed reality that never matches real reality, all propped up by linguistic games never allowed to be checked for consistency or completeness.

Cultures put themselves at risk when ever-increasing threats of force attempt to impose impossible Utopian dreams. While ancient Roman philosophers considered a good citizen to be one who thought clearly and spoke well, Roman schools didn’t arm normal people to recognize, label, or have the courage to reject illogical challenges from within. Normal Romans enabled disturbed politicians who caused their great Roman civilization to decay and collapse.

Rome collapsed around 476 AD. Several hundred years later, Charlemagne’s new schools began to teach how to recognize such dangerous linguistic games. Today’s schools teach other things.

Normal people check against disturbed thinking. Normal people test premises, evaluate evidence, and refuse to accept contrived conclusions. Our country will fare better than ancient Rome only when normal people are inoculated to see when pseudo-logic and patchwork morality are incompatible with what is.

Distorted thought is unhealthy. While therapy can sometimes help, getting disturbed people to recognize the need is difficult. Individuals with a distorted view of reality often gather into groups to reinforce their pseudo-reality and pseudo-morality. The larger the group, the more difficult it becomes to protect members of the group from themselves and others in the community they pressure to conform to their perceptions.

Such groups grow unchecked because normal people tolerate them. Normal people become enablers when expect other people also be reasonable even if they display they are unable to accept reality and force others into their fantasy.

People sometimes think they are right, not because they are right, but simply because they think they are right. That is a problem for those who don’t see rationality as a way to check their work. Normal people appreciate insight others add. It’s the American Way. “Majority rules” is not so great a check on defective thinking as that America codifies the humility that the smallest voice can suggest a better way to an electorate tuned to listen. In a healthy community, others question views that conflict with facts. Checking their work, normal people revise their mental map for accurately so as not to make the same mistake twice.

Disturbed people cannot face challenges to their perceived reality. They bully, ostracize, shun, punish, and economically cripple those with whom they disagree. They treat disagreement as criminal and, if it isn’t yet a crime, they use double standards to treat it as such.

Their view of reality cannot be maintained without contorting the logic of how they think or the morality of their view of what is right. Ancient Greeks would say their logic subverts logos and their morality dominates ethos.

Disturbed people dissemble to turn away objections. Journalists would laugh at this for us, had they learned enough to know when and why they should. The press, supposedly working for us, long ago forgot what journalists do.

So it falls on normal individuals to find humor and courage to hold a mirror up to powerful people incapable of facing their failings. Point out the humor in their inconsistencies before it becomes too dangerous.

And when the powerful marshal enablers to shout you down for daring to object, laugh also at their double standards for objecting to you objecting.

Ideas can be silly, but silly ideas wielded by groups bent on twisting reality have brought down past great civilizations.

Such groups grow unchecked because normal people tolerate them. Normal people become enablers when they expect other people also be reasonable even if they display they are unable to accept reality and force others into their fantasy.

[anonamom]

Yes, Rome is urban, dirty, noisy--NOT a particularly restful place. But at SBW's age (similar to many of ours), it may well be an ONLY visit to Italy.
One bout of a fib and a resulting stroke--our traveling days can be over.

Actually, that is an EXCELLENT argument in support of Rome first--the other places can be managed with far less physical reserve than you'd want for Rome.

I do HOPE it is but his first, or that he adds another week or ten days, and heads north.

[sbwaters]

Thank you MM. I reworked the paragraph in the draft.

Jane, the essay tries to distill and extend James Lindsay’s very long piece.

And thank you for the worthwhile advice on where to spend a few days in Italy.

[Jim Eagle]

sbw, use the train system in Italy. First class, quick and clean. In fact, taxis in large communes are cheaper than renting a car (where in Italy if the insurance doesn't kill you, the check in girl's finding damages will:). In fact, I don't know where you would want to go that the rail system doesn't.

Plus you see the countryside un fettered by paying attention to the road and local italian drivers:)

[Pinandpuller]

Speaking of Rome, it brings to mind their emperor worship. It developed to the extent that citizens had to go stand before a magistrate every year and burn incense to Caesar to obtain a certificate of adulation, as it were.

It’s not quite to that point in These United States of reconstituted Rome or Sodom Egypt, but it’s getting there.

For instance, we are being placed in the position of testifying that a person, such as the former health “minister” of Pennsylvania, is a real woman. Under penalty of losing our professions literally and our professions of faith spiritually.

“Those who denied that they were or had been Christians, when they invoked the gods in words dictated by me, offered prayer with incense and wine to your image, which I had ordered to be brought for this purpose together with statues of the gods, and moreover cursed Christ--none of which those who are really Christians, it is said, can be forced to do--these I thought should be discharged. Others named by the informer declared that they were Christians, but then denied it, asserting that they had been but had ceased to be, some three years before, others many years, some as much as twenty-five years. They all worshipped your image and the statues of the gods, and cursed Christ.”-Pliny the Younger

Anonamom, have you been talking to my wife? That’s her argument for carving out a slice of a small bequest from my favorite aunt, Mardi, the one who rescued six Hungarian Vislas.

I have been to Rome before, driven Vespas down the Old Appian Way, picnicking on bread, wine, and cheese.

And JiB is right about the beauty of driving south in France [except last trip to Epernay we rented from by Gare du Nord—interesting.]

[MissMarple2]

sbwaters,

I just noticed I made a typo in your name when I was offering my correction! LOL!

Let me also suggest Rome for the exact same reasons anonamom did. Take me as an example. I thought nothing of toodling around the UK with my sister, flying to Rome and the UK, taking my grandkids to the National Parks out West with my DIL.

Now I can't even drive to Kroger! Hopefully that will end in March when I see the doctor again, but I wouldn't venture very far from my home by myself anymore.

I took my niece to France while she was in college. We drove from Paris to Aix en Provence and back. Lots of adventures. , spent the last night In Paris at the Maurice Hotel, which is the first place I stayed in Paris when I went with Red Bond. Wanted my niece to see, as I did, how the other side lived. I admit that when you are with the Bonds they always upgrade you. So the first time my room overlooked the Eiffel Tower. The 2nd time, my niece simply asked to see the penthouse! She rocks!

--You don't think many will just say "Good riddance"?--

The less rabid certainly will, but the less rabid receive orders while the rabid issue them. The disordered ideologue does not think in grey or in how to settle. They think in absolutes and can be counted on to always and eventually do things very much not in their interest. That's one of the things that makes them irrational and disordered ideologues; they misperceive the world and their own interests and action. A disorder is defined by the head shrinkers as unhealthy and destructive defense mechanisms and perceptions of reality.

--Also, I suspect the vast majority of the military is from states that would join the secession.--

I hope so but the longer things drag out the more purged of patriots LE and the military will become. That may make things bloodier but I doubt it will effect the ultimate outcome.

Great pieces today, Clarice, but I'd change one thing. Sub the word impossible for implausible. We are in Orwell's Oceania.

I recommend all of those places in Italy that others have recommended. Really, you need at least a month.

I got over to Trieste in 9-19 to give a presentation at a W.H.O. mental health conference. Took the train from Milan; 6 hours. Passed through Brescia, Verona, Padua and Venice. Wish I could have stopped for a week in each of those cities. Verona is a favorite.

Loved Naples and the Amalfi Coast on our trip in 2010. We also drove to Montecassino and nearby to see where my uncle had fought in World War II. We'd already been to Anzio, where he died.

Next will be Sicily.
