That is EXACTLY what they were doing.That's not what they were doing.And seriously, do a little research, challenging election results is well within the constitution. If it's not, then Machine Gun Nancy needs to clean house and rid her posse of those who challenged the results of the 2016 election.Nobody's violating your rights, but I'm.glad you brought up the 14th amendment. Let's read section 3, shall we?Way to miss the point completely!!So, businesses can serve the people they want to?Serving minorities doesn't do anyone any harm or lead to insurrection.That's just capitalism, kid. The Democrats aren't doing it, it's a natural selection kinda thing.Do you even know what an "oligarch" is? Because it's ironic as hell for tRumpling to accuse the Democratic party of being them.Our Republic is dormant, perhaps dead. We now live in Fascist Oligarchy controlled by the Globalist Dems, BigTech, Academia, Crony Corporatists, BigMedia-Entertainment, and of course The Global Financial "interests", with the extra added "bonus" of our FICUS being a tool of China.
So how do we cope? The economy and culture are going to get uglier. On the bright side, most of us have had a great deal of practice isolating over the past year. Here are suggestions for coping with the current situation. Note, I have no debt. We paid off our house in 2019 and have no car payments, so mr. boe and I "just" need to cover living expenses, insurance and taxes. The latter are the largest expenditures by far.
1. Opt out as much as possible from the suveillance economy. No Facebook, No Twitter, No Google etc. I do have to use Google Suite for work, but that is on a computer separate from my personal one, and I dedicate one browser to Google suite. I use a VPN, protonmail and Brave browser. Do what you can to maintain as much privacy as possible. Move to services that support free speech and privacy.
2. Opt out of the Corporatist economy as much as possible. Cut out as much discretionary spending as possible. I started this policy a few years to pay off our house early. Buy locally, handmade and used items. Don't buy cheap crap from China. A good used item will last longer and support a small business person. If you have to make a major purchase, buy from a locally owned store. It may cost you a bit more, but the local service is worth it, imo. If you can afford it, aggressively pay down your debt to accelerate being debt free and lowering your overhead.
3. Live from the inside outward. Spend most of your energy on your partner, family, loved ones, friends, work colleagues, community, church, etc. The people closest to you matter orders of magnitude more than swamp creatures in DC. Protect your private life and inner circle.
4. If you are religious, keep the faith burning. Think of the Irish monks in the Dark Ages. We may be heading into another.
5. Buy physical books and DVD/Blu-rays. You can't count on the streaming services keeping a back catalogue of classics. You can buy great used copies online or at local stores.
6. Do not submit to the Cultural Revolution Red Guard. They can't control what you think or believe. Stay firm in that.
7. Arm yourself well and be prepared for self-defense.
8. Be prepared for the opening when we can push back against the Fascist Oligarchs. This may happen sooner than you think given how the Left are poor winners as well as poor losers. Their infighting has already begun.
A few ideas.
I know what an Oligarchy is. Google, Twitter, Facebook and Amazon and colluding to squash small competitors and aid the propaganda campaigns by being Censorship Proxies for the Dems are a perfect example.
No. It isn't Capitalism. That's the big lie you Prog Tools use to justify Big Government Crony Authoritarianism. The Dems have engaged in Censorship by Proxy with Big Tech doing the dirty work.
If a restaurant can be forced to serve minorities due to the 14th Amendment, so should Big Tech be required to serve all customers.
False equivalency is FALSE. It's right there in the name.
Congratulations. You just explained why bakeries can refuse to make custom cakes for gay weddings.
Oh, wait -- that's different. Somehow. It just is.
How did you get that out of "Serving minorities doesn't do anyone any harm or lead to insurrection" anyway?
Speaking of missing the point. How does voiding people's 1st Amendment and 14th Amendment rights result in non-harm on non-leading to protests. I reject your pathetic attempt to redefine protests of government abuse as insurrections. Protestors CARRYING AMERICAN FLAGS are not engaged in insurrection or sedition, despite how much you and your brownshirted comrades try to spin it as suc.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
This disqualifies a rather large number of tRump supporting senators and representatives from holding office. They must step down immediately.
Sorry for your luck.
