Apart from the election: Mistwell's comments as a TRUE CONSERVATIVE who, like Reagan, believes we all need to move on from any qualms regarding bathrooms and who enters them, reframes the real issue with the election.
It isn't about Trump. Entirely.
It's also about how for the 1st time in our lifetimes, we had a president who didn't feel like a fist-puppet for a global elite robbing us blind. Trump is an expert at the use of soft power, but since the bureaucracy is largely immune to firing the bully pulpit isn't what it used to be. Let's face it - he doesn't even control the executive branch. This fact alone is why I feel largely resigned to eventual kinetic activities - the system has been used very well to legally place the system outside of voter control. The presidency is the most powerful man in the world and the least powerful man in government simultaneously. A single district judge can veto whatever the president tries to do, nationwide, for a couple of years out of a 4-year term.
And this happened because the Republican party has become the pace-and-lead party. if you're not familiar with pacing and leading as a concept, read about it:
http://www.changingminds.org/techniques/general/sequential/pace_lead.htmThe republican role in the uniparty is to pace-and-lead you into accepting globalism. Trump can win every single court case, take office in January on schedule, and if the Lincoln Party's of the world retain ideological power in the Republican party at large, it will not matter. Trump's next 4 years will come and go, and the uniparty will absorb the delay like Russia absorbs the first year of an invasion. That is how far the uniparty has placed the real levers of power from voter influence.
If Americans won't burn the republican party to the ground and make it go the way of the Whig party into historical irrelevance, while starting a new party that is opposed to everything that the Dems want and the Republicans pace and lead you towards - it isn't going to matter.
Please. Each of you. Work in your communities to elect local officials, and then state officials, that come from your own ranks instead of those vetted by the republican party. By the time we hear about them on the national stage they're already hopelessly corrupted. You don't get a ticket to ride in the national show if they aren't very sure about your dependability to them.
That's why Trump was so relentlessly character-assassinated. He didn't have a ticket to ride.
And relentlessly primary existing republicans out of office. If they're the "free market party" then that's the only rational response to their constant failure to do anything they say; the ratio of doing what they promise they'll prevent vs. doing what they promise when campaigning should be all you as an American need to see.
This is about more than stealing the vote. As weird as it is to say that stealing the vote here is not the real concern.
