Who is John Galt?

Galt’s Gulch
It's amazing how every doomer on X spews the same talking points. They never mention the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was part of the OBBB. They never mention the closed borders and the STOPAGE of the inflow of illegal migrants. They never mention the deportations. They never mention crime statistics. Then never mention the massive influx of investment in manufacturing in the US. They never mention how men have been taken out of women's sports. I could go on and on. They only talk about 2 things that will work themselves out in the short term. That is the war in Iran and gas prices. Both of these suck, but it's not worth giving up and going back to Biden era policies on steroids. Don't be a mindless doomer and give control back to democrat policies. America First 🇺🇸🇺🇸

This talk about not voting for midterms because “that’ll show them” is a sub-50 level IQ statement. “Let’s not vote and allow the people that are creating the problems to continue creating even more problems”. I get the idea of the UniParty…but this isn’t the way. The DSA cannot win. Get involved in primaries. The loudest ones out there, I haven’t seen poll watch, work with their local GOP…just complain online. There. I said it.
If you’re blatantly telling people not to vote in the midterm elections you’re basically telling everyone not to exercise their constitutional rights. This is synonymous with telling everyone not to exercise their 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms. Luckily, the 1st amendment allows you to be a moron.

Fuentes is a Democrat operative designed to demoralize Republican voters, and people are increasingly catching on to this.
Fuentes: I don't just want Republicans to lose. I want Republicans to be annihilated from the face of the planet. I want them to be destroyed. I want them to be immolated and literally burned into a pile of ashes. These people are scum. They have betrayed us. They've enriched themselves at our expense. I hope there's nothing left. I hope Democrats win 260 seats in the House. I hope they take the majority in the Senate, and I hope they impeach everybody in the Cabinet. Not just Trump. I hope they impeach Vance. I hope they impeach Pete Hegseth. I hope they impeach everybody, and I hope they subpoena everybody else and depose everybody else. And I want it to happen because that's what needs to happen. Republican Party has to be utterly destroyed. They have done nothing other than lose.

The trolls & fake MAGA/controlled opposition clowns are out in full force trying to get people to sit out the midterm elections. The masks are falling off and my block list is growing exponentially. We need to vote like we did in 2024 and make it too big to rig...once again.

This is, without any real competition, the dumbest opinion I’ve heard this week. She presents as a black piller, which typically comes with at least a passing acquaintance with how power actually operates. And then the big idea arrives: what if we all just decided not to vote? The conversation would change, the ideas would change, the system would have no choice but to pivot because there are more of us than them. That isn’t blackpilling. It’s the cleanest, most polished version I’ve seen of “tell me you’re playing for the other team without saying you’re playing for the other team.” The system does not become more responsive when you withdraw. It simply registers that one side stayed home and proceeds accordingly. Calling that strategy doesn’t make it strategy. It just makes the surrender sound more thoughtful than it is. Stupidity on a grand scale, delivered with total sincerity.
What happens if we all come together and decide to not vote? The conversation changes. The ideas change. The system changes. The system responds to your attention. Your time. Your energy. There are more of us than there are of them. We have them in sheer numbers alone. They'll have no choice but to pivot.

This is political fan fiction. Elections don’t stop because you refuse to participate. Nobody is forced to “pivot.” You simply remove yourself from the equation and hand the decision to the people who actually show up. You don’t become more powerful by making yourself politically irrelevant. Just ask Thomas Massie.

FWIW, I'm not going to debate the merits of not voting b/c it's legitimately the dumbest shit ever. If you care about our Republic, you vote. And if you don't vote, you don't care about the Republic. It's really that black-and-white to me and everyone I care to associate with. And that's especially true when EVERYTHING is on the line. Remember, it's not just about us; we have children and future generations that are relying on us. And when you abandon doing your part to help protect them and their future, you're essentially telling them to F' off... and that's why it's personal. So, yeah. I don't give a crap about whatever challenged logic someone uses to explain why this is a good plan. It's not. There's no way to justify withdrawing from the fight when the enemy is at the gate, coming for you, yours, and everything you hold dear. There are no second chances or do-overs here. This is it. Note: Those who do decide to go down that path should know they are forever branding themselves as of no consequence moving forward. You will have earned 'persona non grata' status. And, no. There's no coming back. Especially if you're actively working to convince others to follow suit, b/c that's truly beyond the pale and subversive. I said what I said.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 to ALLOW the Trump administration to use federal voter identification database to verify citizenship. All illegal voters need to be REMOVED from the voter rolls. The 3 liberal justices dissented, of course...

Did you know that Egypt controlled Gaza from 1948 until 1967, but didn’t turn it into a State called Palestine? Israel hoped to return Gaza to Egypt as part of the Sinai Peace Accords, but Egypt was uninterested in taking responsibility for the Gazans. After a group of jihadists (including some Gazans who entered Egypt via tunnels) slaughtered a bunch of Egyptians in 2014, the Egyptian government closed the border, fearing for their own safety. It’s still closed today. They literally sacrificed a huge chunk of their land for safety from Gazans.

“I refuse the lesser of two evils. I’ll just stay home.” Cute vow. The other side does not stay home. They take the House and lock the door. Your principles just voted for them. Was it something I said that made her block me?

I keep seeing people talk about sitting out the midterms to “teach Republicans a lesson,” and I think we need to challenge the premise behind that argument. We have accomplished a hell of a lot. Has everything happened as quickly as everyone wanted? No. Have Republicans disappointed me on some things? Absolutely. But pretending nothing has changed because we haven’t gotten everything we wanted is ridiculous. You don’t protect the progress you’ve made by voluntarily surrendering political power. You don’t hold Republicans accountable by making it easier for Democrats to take control. And you certainly don’t move your agenda forward by refusing to participate. If you want to cut off your nose to spite your face, that’s your choice. Just remember, you’re not only going to have to look at yourself in the mirror afterward, the rest of us are going to be stuck looking at you as well. 😒

"Why aren't teenagers interested in dating?" Well, for starters, because every possible institution that used to be available for teens to enjoy themselves and stretch their independence has been steadily eliminated, all because we can't be honest about who the troublemakers are.
Oh boy you just know one demographic is going to absolutely hate this policy change.

🚨 TWO MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT CANDIDATES. ZERO VALID MICHIGAN LAW LICENSES. BOTH ON YOUR NOVEMBER BALLOT. Yes, you read that correctly. Jody White & Tom Howe, both nominated by the U.S. Taxpayers Party, are running for Michigan’s highest court despite neither holding a valid Michigan law license. So how did they get on the ballot in the first place? Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office says the candidates are legally permitted to appear on the ballot. However, appearing on the ballot & being legally qualified to take office are TWO different things. Huh?? 🤯 Michigan's Constitution requires Supreme Court justices to be licensed to practice law in Michigan and to have been admitted to practice for at least 5 years. Jody White and Thomas Howe have acknowledged that neither currently holds a valid Michigan law license. Well then that leaves some important questions: Who verifies that judicial candidates meet the constitutional requirements to serve? What happens if voters elect someone who cannot legally take office? What qualifications did these candidates certify when they filed their paperwork? And why are voters learning about these licensing problems from an investigative news report rather than through a clearly explained election process? These are questions Michigan’s election officials NEED to answer. Getting your name on the ballot & being legally qualified to serve are not the same thing, fine. But then why allow them on the ballot in the first place?! It seems like @JocelynBenson is running a circus at the Secretary of State’s office. Can you imagine if she became Michigan’s next governor?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ wxyz.com/news/2-michigan-sup…

Universities were like "what if we we gave retarded people degrees" for the last 5 years and are shocked to learn that companies in the real world don't want to hire retarded people with degrees
Cornell just produced a massive new report on higher education noting that companies have a “jarring” skepticism of higher ed thanks to a new generation of degree holders who lack key skills like handling uncertainty, compromising, and absorbing feedback. Faculty also report that incoming students, despite four years of undergraduate education, are “underdeveloped” in these relational or interpersonal skills. This is a serious crises in higher education and the report calls for a greater need for conflict-resolution training. We need to do a better job training our students to deal with these issues. These are traditionally the skills students developed in higher education. I loved college because it challenged me, sparked debate, and required me to grapple with complexity. This should be an essential part of college--inside and outside the classroom. chronicle.com/article/compan…

Conservatives spend two fucking years screaming “RINO!” like somebody broke into the house and installed the candidate while everyone was asleep. Then you look at the freaking primary numbers. In FL-27, less than 1% of the district’s population backed Maria Elvira Salazar’s primary opponent. Roughly 4% participated in renomination. Four fucking percent. Then the outrage machine fires up afterward like the result fell out of the sky. That is an absolutely spectacular self-own. Precinct positions sit empty. Republican clubs recycle the same people, the same speeches, the same grievances, the same stale fucking headcount. The grassroots spends hours online performing rage for strangers while the boring machinery that actually shapes candidates and turnout sits there collecting dust. Then November gets close and everyone suddenly discovers urgency. Where are the better candidates? Where are the fighters? Why does the establishment keep getting its people through? Because the people who care enough to organize early keep controlling the field while everybody else shows up later with a flamethrower and a grievance. And the low-propensity voter everyone depends on? Nobody called him. Nobody recruited him. Nobody bothered until panic season. Then comes the grand fucking mystery: “How did we end up with this asshole again?” Look in the mirror. You cannot spend all year talking like the republic is five minutes from collapse and then treat primaries, precinct work, candidate recruitment, and turnout like somebody else’s shitty homework. “Silent majority” sounds tough right up until the silence starts looking like political absenteeism. Everybody wants to cosplay Lexington and Concord. Too many people treat the primary calendar like fucking junk mail. (article below)

There’s only a couple things I know for certain. High on the list is that if a person has a “hate has no place here” sign in their front yard, hate most definitely has a pretty prominent place there…

Jesus never raped a 9-year-old girl, didn’t have sex slaves, never started wars or killed anyone, for starters.
When a Christian says, “I want to be like Jesus,” you applaud it. But when a Muslim says, “I want to be like Muhammad,” suddenly you want a 40-page investigation. Why the double standard?

You aren't teaching Republicans a lesson by not voting. You're handing the country to the Democrats. Republicans are still well-funded and wouldn't learn a thing. But you'll lose the country.

In case you missed it... Republicans (led by @JonHusted) had a bill to lower electricity prices. It passed the House 417-3 - supported by everyone from the Freedom Caucus to the Squad. Democrats in the Senate blocked it. Why? Because they want max pain going into November.
