LargefarvaHave no doubt that I will be casting my vote for Trump. It likely won’t be of any consequence because of where I live, but damnit I’m making sure my vote gets counted.
There is too much at stake with this election. There is only one person that can stave us off from the tyranny of communism/socialism and that is Trump. You’re damn straight I’m voting for him. The alternative is unthinkable.
And I will do the same in 4 years with whomever the Republican candidate is, have no doubt.

AKSuperDuallyA call to arms. Well said. Well written, and appropriate in this moment. We are men and women of a still free country, the greatest nation. We should act like it. Excellent.
Thank you.

Add to that, IMHO, it seems the opposition's campaign is unraveling at an accelerating rate.

ChicagoSigManGreat post.
I don't need to fake it. I can feel it from my interactions with people around the country. The Democrats are hemorrhaging voters. The country can see what kind of people would be in charge in a Biden administration and the violent, extremist groups that will enforce the new leftist order. It scares the bejesus out of them and they are not walking away. They are running.
The neck-breaking 180 the Democrats pulled this week going from "Riots? Oh, those are a myth" to "Riots? Hell, yeah, those are Trump"s fault" - especially after not a single mention of the violent riots at their convention - is a huge tell. They must be seeing some polling numbers that are downright disastrous. And you know what YOU"RE NOT SEEING? Poll numbers. Prior to the conventions, CNN, MSNBC and the others were putting up daily polls showing how the Great Biden was miles ahead of Trump. The fact that you haven't seen a major poll since the conventions is another tell. The Democrats are in trouble.
Add in the likely historic support Trump will get from the Black community this time around - easily over 10% and maybe in record 15%+ territory, and Trump is looking very good.
What we are seeing is Democrats in a panic. Pure desperation. The flip-flop on the riots, Joe coming out of his basement to hop on a private jet to give a 12 minute speech in an empty warehouse in Pennsylvania, where he was sure to let the people in the must-win Keystone state know that not only were the riots Trump's fault but, hey, he's in favor of fracking now (despite his and Kamala's numerous prior pledges to ban it). No one in the media asked why he slipped that issue into a major speech about racial violence and civil unrest in the country, but if you read between the lines, it's obvious that Joey feels PA slipping away.
Even Minnesota is in play this year.
The Democrats made some major miscalculations along the last few years. And it didn't work out they way they had hoped. Now the only thing that can help them is fraud, and they know it.
So that's what you can expect between now and the election: 1. More unhinged rantings about how Trump is to blame for everything the left has been doing the past three months and 2. setting up the elections for massive mail-in fraud. The good news is that, as far as #1 goes, the more they rant, the more desperate they look and the more voters, who are wise to them now, will flee. As for #2, Trump has their number and he's on the case. In any event, I expect the election to end in a Trump victory that is well beyond the margin of cheating for the Democrats.
The next 9 weeks will be maddening, trying and annoying, but as things stand right now, things can end only one way. 4 more years.
(PS: Please make it a point to make sure everyone you know is registered to vote, especially if you are in a battleground state. It has never been easier to register, and their is no excuse to skip it).

darthfusterYou have an admirable talent for perspective and delivery. Thank you for the encouragement. I have learned over the years that the greater the faith, the slighter the fear. I believe that ultimately righteousness will prevail and justice will be done. In the mean time I do what I can. I warn where I think it will matter and though it's hard to watch, I know this difficulty is temporary.
At birth we were given free will. Some use it to edify themselves and those around them. Others use it selfishly and destructively. I am convinced this is by design to allow men to choose whom they will follow. Will it be righteousness or evil? Can the righteous endure to the end through all that evil imposes? That is one of the purposes of life.
So regardless of how things develop, have faith. Take fresh courage. Put on your armor and square up. When resistance gets strong, bear up. I'm reminded of a line in Open Range by Charley Waite when some men were talking timidly about dangerous opposition. "You're men ain't ya?" I've no doubt we will do what necessary should danger come knocking at our door.
