Let's Play "WHAT IF?"

 Okay Bunky, let's play a little game of "WHAT IF?"

What if you're involved in a poker game and you continue losing, in spite of having some of the best hands of cards you've ever had in your life? You suspect something is wrong, but you cannot prove it.
So you keep your mouth shut and leave the game.

A short while later, one of the other players in the game tells you, "I saw the cheating. One of the players had an Ace up his sleeve." In addition to his comments, you find out there was a video of the game which proves his accusation is correct.
What do you do?

Some would go and confront the cheaters.
Some might even threaten a violent act.
Some, who had lost enough in the game to be desperate, might even commit violence.

Now my "What If?:
There's another game scheduled shortly, and the same players will be in attendance.
IF you cheated last time, what will you do this game?
And IF you had your head bashed in because you cheated, what is your likelihood you'll risk harm to life and limb in this game?

I think democrats, rightfully, are scared to death of Trump and his supporters.
We are not likely to forget what has happened.
And we sure as HELL are not gonna allow democrats to cheat us again.

Are we?

As long as enough election officials can be bought off, and the ones that handled this last election aren't held accountable, the cheating will continue. The question is to how to clean up the election officials.

Agree with WSF, and no, we're not going to let it happen again.

Many legislatures are stepping up.
That's the non violent path.
SCOTUS cases are docketed.

I'd like to think we can vote our way out of this manure pile, but I'd be lying to myself. Maybe if a couple of poll workers went to court and were fined or imprisoned that crap would stop. But I'm thinking it'll take much more than the nothingburger presently crammed in the body politics' orifices to change the present active theft of power by the communists.
But what do I know? I never even visited Harvard, so I can't have an elite opinion.

Sure we will. In fact we already have. They cheated again in Georgia the EXACT SAME WAY. "We" are never going to do anything and they know it. Voting will never matter again.

But keep buying ammo for that gun you are going to bury.

Cowardice reins supreme supported by total apathy.

Stuart, the motivation behind my post is that things HAVE changed, and I think they will continue to change. Granted, democrats will probably never take all the razor-wire down in D.C.. Two years ago my family waited in line over an hour just to enter the Smithsonian Institution's Aviation and Space museum. Why? Because our government fears us. Fearing us, to a degree, is a good thing, as Thomas Jefferson pointed out.
Ever see photos of Mussolini and his wife after the folks he "reigned" over caught up with them?
January 6ths shows we're on that path. How long the anger takes culminate in nationwide action is the question.
In my opinion it is not IF... but WHEN?

Perhaps you are right Greybeard but I have been to DC also. A citizen can't go into ANY building in that city without permission. I wasn't allowed to walk into a foyer to visit the restroom that was 15 feet from the door. I never got the impression they exclude us out of fear but out of arrogance. They are special, the important, you (we) ain't. They do it because they can. Nobody is going to tell them no. It has now reached the point that everyone can see that no one is going to tell them no. They are now free to remove the mask and quit pretending anymore. You, Me, Us, do not matter.

History demonstrates that nobody will be held responsible until after the war. This is necessary because of apathy. Nobody stopped Mussolini, Hitler, Tojo, Mugabe, Idi Amin, etc. until AFTER their reign of terror. The terror has yet to begin in the USSA. If the citizenry does not prevail; nobody will be held responsible in our lifetime. Perhaps never.

You make my point.
In 1971 I went to the Air and Space museum.
Walked right in.
No security necessary.
They ARE afraid. Of terrorists and US.
That's the reason they scrambled and hid like cockroaches on 6Jaunuary.
And it's the reason for the razor wire today.
