Luke the problem is Trump is the only one that has a chance of winning maybe DeSantis but if you examine his associates and his past he is worse than Trump. The really sad thing is there are a few really good conservatives that would be the better choice but they don't have the name or the resources to win so we are stuck with you want bad or do you want worse?

Trump may run. Trump may win. I have my doubts, but he'll have my vote. I agree that DeSantis has his own dirt--and I'll do so more digging to report on that--and it does appear that there are no other real strong candidates. Then again, there's another part of me that feels like that is part of the illusion, that there are no other candidates. I think this is the match up that the media wants, precisely because it feeds into the next step in the plot; and I am HIGHLY skeptical that the next election will be free from interference. "There will a hung election and a civil war." -- Bill Gates

I believe they are pushing towards that, and for some reason, my gut suspects that somehow Trump might be part of that plan (even if he doesn't know it). Like I've said, I feel like we're being set up. And part of this setup, I suspect, is conditioning the emotional attachment to Trump -- which would lead to a very, very strong emotional reaction should the next election go the way of the last. Imagine if all the hope cam crashing crashing down upon the reality that the system really is rigged? Doesn't that increase the likelihood of a desperate reaction? Perhaps the start of a civil war?

Simultaneously, I find it very difficult to believe there are no other options, in the strictest sense. I do agree there is probably no other candidate who could pierce the media shroud, but only because they wouldn't let them, especially given the state backed censorship. In some ways, that is nearly an insurmountable obstacle, but I also believe there has to be a way. If we cannot over come the media bias and censorship, that's almost checkmate. There are very few options left at that point, and we are staring this reality in the face right this moment.

Progressives be they Republicans or Democrats are not good for American Freedom. My biggest gripe since I was in H.S., and to this day I argue about this with our law enforcement is: I will go to prison for the rest of my life for killing or hurting one person. A politician can kill and harm thousands and will get a Fing library. I will be arrested if I don’t bake a cake. Politicians get 100 million in stock options for shutting down a coal plant. You hear what I’m saying. If we are to fix the government we must take away all government power. And law enforcement must enforce and punish up the food chain otherwise for all their good intentions they are still just the governments guard Dogs.

Equal justice under the law seems obsolete under the current circumstance. To right this ship will not be easy. It will take courage and it will take time. It will take tactics and it will take strategies. It will take sacrifice and it will take effort. The root of the solution lies in personal engagement--getting together and talking people to bring these issues front and center in public conversation. If more people are not made aware, and not made to care, then we are doomed to be dwarfed by the global "battle for democracy"--the first step in a communist revolution--and we will all become slaves to the inescapable socialist surveillance state. That day is not far away!
