Letter: Does this election matter?
To the editor,
– In short, yes. But the real question is what matters to you which we will address later. Let’s be cliche for a moment and say it’s the most important vote of our lifetime — not just nationally but locally as well. Many people have the notion that our votes don’t matter nationally, especially those living in California or other blue states.
However, even if our national vote does very little, I urge you who may not like either presidential candidate to vote locally because that matters perhaps more so. The margins are too thin, the stakes too high and if you care even a tiny bit about future generations, you must do everything you can to change the course of history. That said, even though the popular vote doesn’t matter, to win the popular as well as the electoral, would send a very powerful message.
If things go sideways in our country, you will want steadfast and wise leadership — not some mealy mouths whose entire lives have revolved around words, sentiment, and scams. I call these people “the unworthies” and they have somehow infested every level of government on a grand scale. We need salt of the earth people — patriots who know what time it is in history and have a common sense grasp of objective reality, care for their country and believe in God or at the least higher virtue. We need people who don’t throw around words about democracy this and that, but understand we live in a republic.
This letter isn’t for those “blue no matter who” folks. They are lost to ideological subversion. This is for those in the middle, those undecided, those who feel something is off but can’t put their finger on it, for those Democrats who no longer sense their party represents them, it’s for the Libertarian or other third parties who must bite the bullet, because we all know in our two-party winner-takes-all system, your candidate is an absolute throw away vote.
Forget your hard-nose principles this cycle — whatever you care about means nothing, if you don’t gain power first. You win first, then make the argument for your cause and why it’s important. It’s not ideal, but it is the way. The left gets this which is why they’ve taken over every institution of power in this country, and always support their party.
Our only hope is to take the institutions and agencies back. I say this as someone who has thrown away their presidential vote in a few elections, and can admit I was wrong for that. Until our system changes, we just make a decision and pick a side.
Some of you who are about to read what I’m divulging below, may have a sense that it’s too outlandish to be true. All I have to say is research it. There are credible sources for all of it. Some of it is based on circumstantial evidence that would exceed any reasonable doubt.
So I ask you the voter who isn’t sure — what matters to you? Does it matter that the Biden administration pulled out of Afghanistan in a way that led to multiple U.S. deaths, disarray and billions in equipment left behind to our supposed enemy?
Does it matter how this administration has treated damaged cities from the recent hurricanes as well as Lahaina, Hawaii after their fire? That FEMA used nearly all of their funds for illegals instead of victims of disaster, government spending of 7.5 billion for EV stations with only 7 built, billions sent to Israel and Ukraine without a blink of an eye, yet crumbs for Americans in need? Asheville and Lahaina vote for the left — if this is their level of care and response, how do you think they feel about the rest of the United States?
Does the open border and fly-anyone-in-who-wants-to policy that’s led to an estimated 10 million illegals in 4 years — actual criminals (ICE report that 425K are convicted criminals) and malcontent people matter? How many more didn’t they catch? Does it matter that it’s estimated to cost 150 billion to deal with, process, and take care of illegal migrants in 2023 alone?
Through this administration’s CHNV executive program, we are flooded with wave after wave to our interior and swing states for obvious reasons. They may say it’s legal, but to fly them to toss-up states is treason in my book. And don’t forget the left is pushing for amnesty for all illegals, which is estimated to be 20-40 million people. Poll after poll shows heritage Americans don’t want this, nor do those who immigrated legally. And the left has the nerve to use words like disenfranchise!
Does it matter that we’re directly involved through NATO and on the brink of WW3 because the not-so-anti-war left is hellbent on seeing our men and women get slaughtered over there, untold billions wasted on fraud (look up what Zelensky and his friends have been buying with the taxpayer cash over the years), and Ukrainians rounded up like sheep to slaughter? Does it matter that they lied for years that Russia was losing? Does it matter the left will lie to you too and throw flames on this fire, as they have time and time again to halt peace deals?
Does it matter that the left all of a sudden decided “my body my choice” wasn’t a real thing, when it came to the coercion and threats to take the COVID-19 shot — a shot that had no long-term studies and with the help of our “medical agencies” tried to hide the data for 55 years.
Does it matter that as a result of COVID-19 hysteria and coercion to get the shot, that excess deaths rose during that time, that people were fired, lives turned upside down, natural immunity magically stopped existing, that those pushing for the shots were in fact having private drug and sex parties, the elites and politicians constantly skirting their own rules, people were arrested for surfing alone, and the national debt grew to levels never seen? Does it matter that Fauci with the help of the leftist media, “experts” and Democrats pushed lies for years about the origin and funding of gain of function research Wuhan that likely caused the pandemic?
Does it matter that we’re supposed to have an FDA look out for us, but is in fact captured by corruption and ideology to a degree that we can scarcely unpack how poisoned our food is, but we all know it. We can call see the explosion of diseases and obesity.
Does it matter that our military is a woke joke now, with more focus on transgender ideology than martial values? Does it matter that the left signed quietly into law the NDAA under Obama to have the ability to imprison American citizens without trial, and a recent update to a directive 5250.01 that the DOD/military can use lethal force against their own citizens?
How about voting? Does it matter that we can understand DNA, talk to people over video across the world, watch footage from Mars, build the Hadron Collider, but somehow can’t have a verified voter system that can be audited, and single-day results in counties, despite many other entire countries with far more people tallying the vote the same day?
Does it matter that the MSM lied in the debate that crime stats showed it was going down, only to reveal they “revised” it showing a 4.5% increase? That the FBI is actively working with the left to hide these facts? Let’s not forget that while they were letting actual terrorism take place, and not stopping organized crime in our cities with a RICO warrant, they decided to use their time to spy on/case Americans for speaking out at school board meetings!
Does it matter they’ve politically weaponized the DOJ against anyone not aligned with the left (they will come for you eventually too)? That the DOJ is even suing states who are removing non-citizens from voting lists. That there’s almost no accountability for anyone who has harmed our children over the years with foods, vaccines, and propaganda? That no one seems to care that our CIA and other agencies knew about and were complacent in letting Jeffrey Epstein abuse young women to gain dirt on the rich and powerful?
Does it matter they lied about and made up a story for over three years that Trump was in bed with Putin, that launched a phony investigation costing millions and a total joke? (Never forget the attorneys who were involved wiped their phones clean) Does it matter that this hoax led to the left from individuals to the media, “experts,” politicians, and intel agencies all sounding the alarm that Trump stole the election and was not legitimate? If you don’t like the stolen election rhetoric from 2020 but believed all of that, then maybe sit down.
Although Trump takes some blame for increasing the debt, does it matter the Democrats took it to the stratosphere over the past 4 years, devaluing our savings and raising food prices to levels never seen? (And yes illegals and the money they get from us the taxpayers is absolutely driving up the price of housing and other costs.) Does it matter that DEI policies pushed everywhere are an absolute failure and critical race theory has made everything more divided between groups than I can recall? That the gender ideology, drag queen story hours, kids shows and movies are warping the minds of kids and leading to permanent damage when they get procedures and disrupt their hormones?
Does it matter that Tim Walz has visited China 30 times, and has verified links between him and the CCP — that his words on video is the definition of stolen valor and cowardice? That leftist figureheads like John Kerry are talking openly about changing the right of freedom of speech? Let’s not forget that the Hunter Biden laptop is real and the intel agencies covered for them spinning propaganda that it wasn’t. Joe Biden used his son to make money off of foreign access and who knows what other backdoor corruption with China, Ukraine, and other nations.
Does it matter the FBI seems to know about most mass shooters prior to the attack, and the left always uses these incidents that could have been prevented to end the right to bear arms?
That they bankrupt and jail their political opponents, maintain a voting system that cannot be fully audited by design, and want to remove the filibuster and stack the Supreme Court?
Does it all matter?
The bottom line is that the left/Marxist/Democrats have sold out our country and only want to destroy and tear it down. They want the chaos so they can as Rahm Emanuel echoed to “not let a good crisis go to waste.” This is how they operate and the new right is sick and tired of it. Sick and tired of them as well as the Lindsay Grahams, Mitch McConnells and Mitt Romneys. The new right doesn’t even lionize Ronald Reagan, a weak man who made bad deals and had too much goodwill towards the Democrats to uphold their bargains.
We are done with that. We are done playing nice and all of your usual rhetoric of racist, bigots, Nazis, anti-democracy landing. Your words have no meaning and it’s beneath us to even respond. We will ignore you and take charge. You can go make a coffee or some artisan pastry, but you should not be allowed to be in leadership positions of any real importance, because you have failed over and over. Just look at our once great cities. We care too much about our country and the future of our kids and others to let you near power ever again.
This isn’t just about a vote this cycle — this is an entire referendum on what the Democrats have become over the decades, especially the last 10 – 15 years. So get going, let’s get this done, and let’s make America great again.
