| An Unserious Movement for an Unserious People |
| 2020-11-19 |
| [AmGreatness] We all should probably acknowledge that we Americans, in many ways, have become an unserious people. No serious civilization and society would allow a fraction of what is taking place here—from the absurdity of our education system to the dominance of big tech monopolies to our current form of elections. A list of our nation’s follies demonstrating our unseriousness would fill pages. But it’s not just about the American people as a whole: conservatism is an unserious movement (if one can even call what exists a movement), and Republicans are deeply, deeply unserious as a political party. Consider, in the immediate, our election system again. Can we even call such a disjointed mismash a system? Let’s face it: where we are today, with mail-in ballots, questionable voting software systems, no requirement to show photo ID, "dirty date" voting rolls—we have allowed the creation of myriad reasons for distrust to materialize underneath our noses. The Left has not been shy about what they wanted to do and what they were hoping to accomplish with any of this. And what has been our response as a "movement" and a "party"? Pathetic whining and that’s about it. The powers that be at the RNC were warned well before 2020 that Democrats, led by Marc Elias of Fusion GPS infamy, were on the move to bring us to this point. The response of the RNC? Nothing until it was too late—and even those attempts to respond were half-hearted at best. |

| #4 Trump had a guy in charge of preventing election fraud and the guy was fired the other day for doing nothing. That's not unserious, that's trusting a potentially swampy scoundrel which is a different problem. |

| #3 Unserious? Perhaps we'r allowing the process to unfold and proceed appropriately. If things proceed the way they would appear to be, you'll get all the 'Serious' you want and then some. As a cooler head than mine opined, 'this is our 1775 moment'. |

| #2 Try telling someone from any other civilized western nation they should adopt mail-in voting, and they'll laugh at you. "Are you out of your mind? Do you think we're a third world country? Who the hell would do such a thing and still claim to be a democracy?" Same for allowing illegal immigration. Same for teaching that the country's greatest historical events are just another racist episode underscoring the nation's illegitimacy. Why are we allowing this madness to take over our country? |
