There may be some risk to it, but Masters and Vance should run under a unified banner. Formalize their candidacies as occupying the nationalist populist position. Encourage other co-ideologues to run under this banner as well
I don’t mean to break off from GOP. It is premature for that and neither are charismatic enough to go the full distance. But in effect you are signaling a new consolidated vision to compete, internally, with old dead GOP, which voters want.
Thiel determines which other candidates bear the label via endorsements. He is quasi figurehead. That is fine. No reason to hide that. Voters will follow if the message is sufficiently uncompromising and sufficiently cohesive among the candidates. Let them speak as one voice
Yes, Kent should join as well

The most important finding here is the analysis of the ~170k *excess* Wisconsin voters claiming indefinitely confined status. Wisc determined that each of these voters had to be investigated individually to null their ballot, which was an impossible task
Braynard’s group managed to look at 1000 of the 170k to at least establish a baseline. The results are pretty much as expected.
This was probably the most egregious example of the covid election scams. Claiming indefinitely confined status meant not having to show up at the polls, not presenting any ID or any verification at all, and requiring only a “witness signature”

The “shared counterterrorism key database” includes semi private orgs like the ADL and SPLC who then can (will) filter this info to ANTIFA dox rings
You could practice pretty tight opsec on the assumption that even if some rogue Twitter employee had access to login info, they’d have to coordinate with an email provider, who’d have to coordinate with an isp or etc to actually ID you. That is an increasingly unsafe assumption.
And of course “white supremacist to right wing extremist militias” is so capacious as to include literally anyone. And also of course this routes around any semi-formal privacy or free speech protections since these are all private companies.

Act accordingly.

Messed up the threading on this. Take two.
Much of it is a recapitulation of broader critiques, namely that there can’t be anything like a sustained conservative victory—on anything, even the most basic interests like law and order and homelessness—because Cthulhu, after all, eventually always goes left
(It’s worth asking why conservatives can’t use the same strategies they’ve used to win on gun rights on other important issues. Is it because the people who care most about guns, might actually be willing to use their, ya know, guns to defend their interests? Don’t answer that.)

The flip side of the shitlib yokel is the would-be coastal striver class-traitor who has lived through the ravages of prog rule and foresworn his shitlib inheritance for hardened reactionism. Think Stephen Miller.
Many in this sphere fall into this category. Born into and expressing all the outward trappings of shitlibbery but “mugged by reality” as it were, or perhaps always sensing something rotten and self-defeating at the core of the progressive heart, have whipsawed back to the right
There is a lot of insight that comes from this perspective, including if one has lived first hand through the destruction of a place like California, a window into the future through which to demonstrate to a Red America what awaits it

This is right but it is a lot more complicated. By and large, it is not the Californians but the native “shitlib yokels” ruining these towns, the embarrassed sons and daughters of red state America who are the most zealous adherents to the new religion
BAP recently talked about the phenomenon of the shitlib yokel, many of whom move from the interior to the “big shitty” and adopt all the raiments of post-American culture to which they aspire, and take great pains to distance themselves from their hinterland origins
But there are also increasingly many who do not venture to the “shitty” or only do so briefly. What red Californians bring to places like Idaho etc. is money and taste, much less so than lib politics, and the money and taste in turn brings the shitlib yokel home

In the late fall a deer came into our yard with a badly broken hind leg, the bone piercing through the skin. It sat on the grass and seemed unable to move. I was going to shoot it but my wife insisted I not. It eventually hobbled into the woods where I assumed it would soon die
As winter came a small herd of deer regularly came through the property. The hobbled deer would sometimes follow behind. She was obviously shunned by the other deer and not allowed near them. She did not have any fawns.
Once when I was out duck hunting I came across her alone in a nearby aspen grove. She did not have the strength to run from me.There were mountain lions around and I decided against my wife’s wishes to finally kill it. But I couldn’t get a shot and tbh lacked the courage to do it
