If it's a close race democrats will cheat to win and then forbid republicans from objecting to their cheating. That's the new norm for elections in America, the world's role model for democracy.
That was definitely easier for them to do to us in 2020, because they did not allow any real evidence to be shown by any major media organ. But now we have X, and we can post our evidence on X without worrying about our accounts being shut down like they were in 2020. That’s the biggest game changer in this 2024 election, and I’m so glad that Elon bought Twitter. 🙌🏾
I hate to rain on your parade, but both the Twitter files and the Facebook files showed clear and credible proof that the Biden administration conspired with social media companies to suppress speech (in violation of the First Amendment) — but NOTHING HAPPENED. Taibbi had a “friendly” (not threatening at all!) visit from the IRS when he was leaving to testify to Congress about the collusion.
In other words, if you’re not on the “correct“ side, evidence and truth do not matter. The narrative control will make up for inconvenient realities.
I am hopeful, because we have seen numerous instances where information on Twitter have thwarted the narrative in real time. I just think we have a lot more momentum this time; there will be many more voices, powerful voices, IN REAL TIME speaking up on X (if no place else) creating a reckoning of sorts. We did not have that last time. They shut us down FAST!
“I just think we have a lot more momentum this time;“
For sure. Elon, Tucker, Tulsi, RFK, Vivek, Bret Weinstein, Joe Rogan, Glenn Greenwald and so many others like them now. This situation is already vastly different than 2020.
Back in 2020 Trump was basically alone and had as his VP the regime-installed and soon to be turncoat Mike Pence. This time he has a kickass team. It's going to be a lot harder for them to pull the cheat off a second time.
I sure hope you are right. Since I’ve done a 180 on Trump, well more like 75 degrees (from libertarian to someone excited to vote for anyone), I assume others have too. It seems impossible to ignore the over-regulation of business, the attacks on religion, free speech, bodily autonomy, and the WWIII any given incident could start. It’s just not logical to vote any other way. But I am afraid to be let down in the first election I think really matters. If Trump loses though, the bright side is that MSM will die completely much sooner and pods, Substack (The Free Press and Racket and more) will flourish.
It’s also incredibly weird to realize the whole world is watching the meltdown of America since they see it all online every day just as easily as we do. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. The best of times. The worst of times.
That’s an excellent point. I just put out a long post (below) about how things have changed from 16 & 20 to now. I didn’t include this from your post. It is indeed instrumental if he is to be inaugurated.
I live in Chicago and there are a huge number of blacks here now totally disgusted with democrats in general and our Woke mayor in particular who has set up many migrant shelters in their neighborhoods on the south and west sides. Over the past two years Chicago has spent $500M to take care of people who don’t even below here. I’ve seen videos of City Hall meeting with the mayor where blacks are screaming at him “You betrayed us!” This is a vastly different situation from 2020. NYC has spent something like $5B taking care of over 200,000 of them. There surely must also be a lot of very angry people there.
This is exactly what I keep telling family and friends. Imagine being a loyal Black supporter who has been voting D for a while. That has to be painful on their psyche. My only question was if that information was penetrating their media bubble. Have definitely seen some impressive signs it has but to what level.
Listen to at least the first couple of minutes from this Black Conservative Perspective video of an elderly (80) black woman telling the mayor, Brandon Johnson, he is a disgrace and he has ruined her black community on the south side by flooding it with illegals. Even the black gangbangers in Chicago are furious about this. No one in 2020 could have possibly imagined this.
“Residents Go Off On Woke Mayor Brandon Johnson As Chicago Goes Broke Funding Illegal Migrants!” (17 min)
And he knows that. He’s even said so. He certainly is an amazing man. I just recently saw video of him saying that and laughing about it. He’s also brilliant and obsessed with defeating the Woke. He hates them. His AI will be against them since it will be nonWoke. They know that and he knows they know it.
“Elon Musk Thinks This Is The Only Way To Move Forward With AI Because It’s Coming No Matter What.” (1 min)
That’s a major reason why he hates them. His son switched genders and he says his son is now dead. In other words, they killed his son and he wants revenge and he is a very formidable foe.
Doing my version of praying for a landslide deep and wide enough that the cheating won't matter. Then we can clean up and rebuild to once again be a model for the world.
Indeed--I've been praying since the assassination attempt. Even took a (Catholic) pilgrimage in late September where we brought prayers to every church and shrine we visited; sometimes two per day.
Not to mention their malicious and illicit lawfare attacks...inventing crimes to fit a person they want to destroy....or to steal an election they rightfully lost.
We’ve been in a civil war since at least 2016 when Trump won and they started their “Resistance!” committed to destroying him and MAGA. I believe civilizational collapse will come first. I live in Chicago and see it here and NYC is even worse. I recommend following Cash Jordan. He lives there and reports on it. This is much worse than Chicago.
It’s horrible to see what’s happening to NYC. Chicago is bad but they’re much worse. They’ve also got that Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua” there plus they can’t be deported because Venezuela refuses to accept the return of any of their people. It’s really amazing the amount of damage the democrats have done yet half the country still loves them. This is an impossible situation.
How bloodthirsty Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua used NYC migrant shelters to build a criminal empire: ‘Hiding in plain sight.’
I pray for a clear winner, either way. I feel like these two are punishment for our sins, though I’m voting for Trump. But let it be a decisive decision!
Sasha, thanks for this piece. On January 6th, Trump told his supporters to" peaceably and patriotically protest." During the George Floyd riots and destruction, Kamala told Steven Colbert "...everyone beware because they’re not going to stop... and they should not, and we should not." Which is more threatening, "peacefully and patriotically," or encouraging violence, looting and arson? Welcome to the Fourth Turning.
Trump called Jan 6 a "day of love" and his insult-laden MSG rally a "lovefest." Trump made a many other INFLAMMATORY & BS and statements on Jan 6:
All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they're doing. And stolen by the fake news media. That's what they've done and what they're doing. We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved.
Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that's what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with: We will stop the steal. Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide. ...
John [Eastman] is one of the most brilliant lawyers in the country, and he looked at this and he said, "What an absolute disgrace that this can be happening to our Constitution."
And he looked at Mike Pence, and I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so.
Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. All he has to do, all this is, this is from the number one, or certainly one of the top, Constitutional lawyers in our country. ...
States want to revote. The states got defrauded. They were given false information. They voted on it. Now they want to recertify. They want it back....
We're gathered together in the heart of our nation's capital for one very, very basic and simple reason: To save our democracy....
Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It's like a boxer...We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we're going to have to fight much harder.
Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there with you,...
The Constitution doesn't allow me to send them back to the States. Well, I say, yes it does, because the Constitution says you have to protect our country and you have to protect our Constitution, and you can't vote on fraud. And fraud breaks up everything, doesn't it? When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by very different rules.
So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do. And I hope he doesn't listen to the RINOs and the stupid people that he's listening to....
And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore....
So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give...we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country....
So Trump telling his supporters to proceed "peacefully" incited violence? (Maybe your definition of "violence" include "silence".) Who told the protesters to go into the Capitol, Donald Trump or Ray Epps? Who took down the barricades? Who waved the protesters in?
Nobody waved the protesters in. The thugs climbed walls, broke windows, and got in then went around to the Rotunda doors and opened it from the inside (it was not locked from the inside because of fire regulations) to let the mob in. See
And Trump told the mob to go to the Capitol: "So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give...we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country....
Nonsense. I have seen the videos of barricades being taken down. And no, I am not going to look them up again.
Your quotes from Trump just go to show how very weak your case is.
He *did not* say anything about going *into* the Capitol. By contrast Ray Epps did. So why did Ray Epps not go into the Capitol? Why was he put on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List and then taken off when he was "found" "hiding" on his ranch.
I am completely mystified as to why you are following me on Substack: as far as I am aware, I am not on Substack.
Sasha, I can’t get enough of listening to your journey from liberal to where you are today. You’re in great company with so many others who have shared their experiences over the last 4 to 8 years.
Also, you are always so optimistic, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
As someone who self-identifies as a Sasha Stone groupie, it pains me to disagree with you on one point in your otherwise excellent piece. You write, "We’ll be fine either way. If they somehow drag Kamala Harris over the finish line, they’re stuck with her." Humbly, I submit that we will NOT be fine. My family escaped a communist country. I know communism when I see it, and with today's left, I see it to the extent that I can taste it. No. We will not be fine if Trump doesn't prevail.
The flaw in that argument is that even if Harris wins, Dems will certainly lose the Senate. They will be wishing for the filibuster when it's all over.
If they are brazen enough to rig multiple states to assure a Harris victory (and they are), then I submit it is small potatoes to also rig enough Senate and House races to control those chambers too. They know that there have been no consequences for any bad behavior to date, and that the courts (especially SCOTUS under Roberts) will be too timid to take any significant action in opposition.
You forgot "criminalize speech". That will soon move on to compelling speech, under threat of "consequences".
The leadership of the Demo Party, and many of it younger "educated" (i.e. indoctrinated) supporters, are all in with the Marcusean Program of using anti-democratic methods, especially censorship, to "temporarily" suspend democracy. But don't you worry: democracy will be restored just as soon as Utopia is achieved!
I grew up believing that communism was bad because they install police states. Are you living in a police state? I'm not. Trump is going to be occupied with getting retribution on people including political opponents who dissent. That sounds like communism to me.
I cannot help you recognize the freedoms you have lost by inches if you don't already notice them. You are surveilled at every intersection; the media has become a propaganda machine for the left; On certain platforms, speech is curtailed by algorithms programmed to find opinions at odds with the current administration (YouTube has removed the full Interview with Trump & Rogan from search results), the voices of conservatives were erased on Facebook, Twitter and others around 2020. Banks and businesses severed their relationships with Trump supporters, while government has decided it knows better than parents what is right for their own children. And to conclude, I hope to God that if he prevails, Trump holds accountable the people who violated the rights of citizens, let alone the Constitution. You call it retribution. I call it justice. It's long overdue.
The invention of small, cheap video cameras has led to the installation of video cameras everywhere, NOT the democrats. Do you have a home security camera? I don't.
The MSM is biased but does not omit everything negative about the left as Fox, NYPost, etc do, totally omitting anything negaitve about Trump and the right-wing. Did any right wing sites report on the ugly language by speakers at Trump's MSG rally?
Fox is reporting that Trump is "distancing" himself from the comments about Puerto Rico being a "floating garbage pile", but did they report that Grant Cardone talked about Harris's "pimp handlers"; Sid Rosenberg said of Democrats, "The whole f***ing party, a bunch of degenerates, lowlives, Jew-haters and lowlives. Every one of them. Every one of them.”, the racist Stephen Miller said, "America is for Americans and Americans only,” echoing the slogan of the Ku Klux Klan and a Nazi slogan, “Germany is for Germans only." Did any right wing sources report that Elon Musk used his political action committee to create an ad attacking Harris that uses the “C” word? Calling Harris “a big ole c-word,” a narrator describes her as a “tax-hiking, regulation-loving, gun-grabbing communist.” It makes you think that Republicans HATE women!
I did not agree with twitter & FB censoring information about Covid. It just made right wingers cling to their conspiracy theories more tightly and gives them a stand to call out censorship.
BTW, Trump is LYING when he says children go to school and come home with sex change operations.
If I thought there was a scintilla of evidence that you could be persuaded of the errors in your opinion, I'd go for it, but I learned decades ago that you don't persuade anyone who resorts to *feelings* to bolster their argument. Not to be unkind, but life is too short to waste my energy on you, and I leave to others who have more bandwidth than I have at the moment to tackle your specious points. You have, in the parlance of the social sciences, cognitive dissonance. But in more laymen's terms, I suspect you 'vote blue no matter who." I leave you to the utopia you think you're going to get if Harris prevails. But if this occurs, know that one day, you WILL wake up, and something you took for granted as a right will be gone. You will remember me then.
The MSM media is full of reports about Biden's gaffe of calling Trump supporter's "garbage" when he was referencing Repubs who think Puerto Rico is a "sea of garbage." Does right wing media EVER report trump's vile rhetoric?
Do you look forward to rising prices due to tariffs being passed on to consumers?
Only the Puerto Rican story made it into the MSM, as far as I can tell, and Fox covered it too.
"America is for Americans" is different from "Germany is for Germans" because Americans are not an ethnicity while Germans are not.
Fox routinely has Demos on, and shows, without "fact-checking", videos of Harris making her usual dubious or worse statements. ("Donald Trump favors a national abortion ban! Donald Trump plans to cut Social Security!")
CNN seems to have finally grown a brain and started aiming for the middle, but MSNBC seems to have a rule No Repos Allowed.
What do you mean, only the Puerto Rican story made it into the MSM? ALL of the vile statements by Trump allies were reported in MSM, but only the biggest one about Puerto Rico made it to Fox. ( See NPR, Oct 28, 24, "Off-color jokes, vitriol take over Trump Madison Square Garden rally") I don't watch Fox because I can't stomach their major hosts, but I do READ Fox. And I don't see anything critical of Trump in print. Although Trump disavows Project 2025, it was written by his former admin officials. I'm sure he hasn't read it but the people around him will push things like "national abortion ban." Trump sent it to the states because he is afraid to touch it, and now women in states with 6 week bans that threaten docs with life in prison if they perform an abortion are DYING during miscarriages because docs won't perform d&cs.
In the headlines, I only saw the first one. (If I wanted a bed-time story, NPR would be my *first* choice ...)
How much critical of Harris is on MSNBC?
Once upon a time, Guilt by Association was a well-known fallacy.
Trump is against 6 week bans. I am pretty sure the states will eventually settle in around 13 weeks, as in much of Europe, and given that the Demos have become the party of the rich, I am sure "crossing state lines" can be arranged.
If "my body, my choice" is a valid argument, what would be wrong with 9-month abortions?
Communists don’t install police states solely by choice. Communism always results in a police state because there is no other way to achieve the control necessary to impose such a disastrous system on people. Are we living in a police state? Not yet, but history shows that leftist ideas can result in nothing else. Perhaps your education was deficient on that obvious point.
Norway and Sweden. Leftists cling to them like a woobie blanket. Don’t you wish that the prime examples of leftist rule weren’t Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba? It’s so inconvenient!
If he wanted to be a dictator, why did he spend four years in power taking no steps to make himself a dictator? No offering million dollar bribes to top generals. No creating a red-neck army. Not much of a Grand Master Plan ...
But it would be wrong to say that Biden and his allies were "occupied with getting retribution" on Trump? Why did they invent novel legal theories (only after he announced) to get Trump if not to get Trump? Your outrage is quite selective.
The crimes in NY Trump was convicted of date back more than five years, but they withstood an initial court challenge because of a pandemic-era extension by one year and 47 days.
Sasha, another great one! So far, this is looking like the path to victory. The Trump rally in the Garden shows that everything has changed. I was there and I’m still amazed at everyone I saw there.
Progressive politics has destroyed the old Democrat coalition. Republicans own the popular positions on the border, crime, identity politics, fossil fuel, gender ideology and free speech.
Somehow it has been memory holed that the white House itself was attacked on May 29, 2020, but somehow the FBI has not been scouring the country for rioters.
I participated in multiple riots in Berkeley in the late sixties and seventies. The whole point was to get the police to over-react. So when you see the capital police shooting rubber bullets and flashbangs into a peaceful maga crowd, you’re watching the incitement of a riot, what they called in Chicago “a police riot.”
Its living history. If he loses , it is to a rigged system and they will lock him up along with many others. This is about Globalism. Obama is a minion for the cabal running the WEF
But even if he beats the cheat the progressive are going to legal up and muddy of the results for as long as possible using the courts.
God forbid they maintain control it will get very ugly. Communist ugly
You are correct there should be millions and millions in the streets protesting the win..
They are very evil , nefarious people. Harris is the puppet. The machine chose her because shr is a empty vessel. Very controlable. They are not going to go quietly in the night.
Donald Trump and his populist/ nationalist MAGA. ( us ) are a huge threat to the one world utopian government ( Klauss Schwab) ..
The Global Reset. Its the polar opposite of populism..
The uncontrollable illegal immigration is intentional. EU countries are in huge trouble. Most countries have been destabilized.
There was no riot, and certainly no "insurrection".
There were only FBI agents smashing things up and telling the election fraud protestors to go INTO the Capitol, where those protestors behaved quite nicely, calmly walking within the velvet ropes and even getting guided tours from room to room by Capitol Police, as the footage of the Buffalo Man shows.
The ways you can be 100% certain that it all was a setup by Pelosi and the FBI are:
1. The FBI _still_ won't say how many agents of violence they had embedded the crowd. 100? 1000?
2. We are _still_ not allowed to see all the footage, because that would clearly show the faces of the FBI agents who were being violent to frame the protestors.
Pelosi would be tried and hanged for treason for setting all this up if we really had a legitimate country. Instead we just have mafiosi like Pelosi subverting everything good about America.
January 6th was a total set up. We were early up to the capitol before Trump even finished speaking, The were a couple hundred obvious bad guys (Feds??) already there. Once the peaceful crowd moved up to the capitol the police instigated the crowd with rubber bullets, flashbangs and gas. This also gave the bad guys (not Trump supporters) a reason to start rioting.
I hope, like you, there are more people crossing over to the better side. It is inevitable. One can't close off the reality of human interactions. MSM is starting to crack. CNN has a true conservative. Bill Meyer pokes fun at the left.
Please keep sharing your thoughts. The change you made gives us hope.
Thanks for trying to give hope, but if somehow she actually won, we’d be in WWIII and bankrupt before her term is up. Elections will be so fully rigged that it’ll be like Xi in China. There will be no more “free” elections in the USA.
If she wins & the R’s control the Senate, they can mitigate some of the damage. But it’ll still be a brutal administration if Liz Cheney is named Secretary of State or some other cabinet post promised to her for her loyalty.
You are correct, Sasha. They think that if they can just cheat out one more win then they will be home free. Nope. We're still going to be here and slapping them upside the head with the truth.
Harris winning would be a massive blow to Democrats 2028 or probably the next 40 years of ever getting back control. No Trump on the ticket would be an auto loss for Harris 2028. How the EC and states are setup it's virtually impossible to regain the senate with their current make up of battleground states and once 2030 happens kiss ever getting the house back. While Democrats play short term powerplays GOP always play long term games hence why GOP are so powerful and why McConnell is so smart.
I agree. I have visions of Gavin Newsome going into the ballot box voting for anyone but Harris. He needs for her to lose. She can and will run again for a second term in 2028 and there's no way Newsome wants to sit out until 2032!
Newsom won't win PA, GA, WI, MI he's a blue stronghold democrat ONLY popular in those states. Andy Beshear has the best appeal but GOP including Sasha would paint him as worse than Harris, but they should go with him either way.
Of course, they say they want her to win but reality I suspect they resigned themselves to lose. This is why Waltz was tapped a nobody governor with no cross-appeal talents better to burn two nobodies than burn a qualified candidate.
Unless she establishes a One-Party State. The insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment implies that if Trump should be taken off the ballot, so should his supporters. Why wouldn't Demos jump at that? There is nothing elected officials hate more than elections: all risk, no benefit. So why no render them meaningless? Far Left Ideology now tells them it would be positively righteous for them to do that. Very convenient.
If it's a close race democrats will cheat to win and then forbid republicans from objecting to their cheating. That's the new norm for elections in America, the world's role model for democracy.
That was definitely easier for them to do to us in 2020, because they did not allow any real evidence to be shown by any major media organ.

That’s a major reason why he hates them. His son switched genders and he says his son is now dead. In other words, they killed his son and he wants revenge and he is a very formidable foe.

I pray for a clear winner, either way. I feel like these two are punishment for our sins, though I’m voting for Trump. But let it be a decisive decision!
Sasha, thanks for this piece. On January 6th, Trump told his supporters to" peaceably and patriotically protest." During the George Floyd riots and destruction, Kamala told Steven Colbert "...everyone beware because they’re not going to stop... and they should not, and we should not." Which is more threatening, "peacefully and patriotically," or encouraging violence, looting and arson? Welcome to the Fourth Turning.
Trump called Jan 6 a "day of love" and his insult-laden MSG rally a "lovefest." Trump made a many other INFLAMMATORY & BS and statements on Jan 6:
All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they're doing. And stolen by the fake news media. That's what they've done and what they're doing. We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved.
Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that's what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with: We will stop the steal. Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide. ...
John [Eastman] is one of the most brilliant lawyers in the country, and he looked at this and he said, "What an absolute disgrace that this can be happening to our Constitution."
And he looked at Mike Pence, and I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so.
Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. All he has to do, all this is, this is from the number one, or certainly one of the top, Constitutional lawyers in our country. ...
States want to revote. The states got defrauded. They were given false information. They voted on it. Now they want to recertify. They want it back....
We're gathered together in the heart of our nation's capital for one very, very basic and simple reason: To save our democracy....
Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It's like a boxer...We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we're going to have to fight much harder.
Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there with you,...
The Constitution doesn't allow me to send them back to the States. Well, I say, yes it does, because the Constitution says you have to protect our country and you have to protect our Constitution, and you can't vote on fraud. And fraud breaks up everything, doesn't it? When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by very different rules.
So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do. And I hope he doesn't listen to the RINOs and the stupid people that he's listening to....
And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore....
So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give...we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country....
So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.
So Trump telling his supporters to proceed "peacefully" incited violence? (Maybe your definition of "violence" include "silence".) Who told the protesters to go into the Capitol, Donald Trump or Ray Epps? Who took down the barricades? Who waved the protesters in?
Nobody waved the protesters in. The thugs climbed walls, broke windows, and got in then went around to the Rotunda doors and opened it from the inside (it was not locked from the inside because of fire regulations) to let the mob in. See

https://www.newsweek.com/was-us-capitol-unlocked-code-jan-6-what-we-do-know-what-we-dont-1716136
And Trump told the mob to go to the Capitol: "So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give...we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country....
So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue."
Nonsense. I have seen the videos of barricades being taken down. And no, I am not going to look them up again.
Your quotes from Trump just go to show how very weak your case is.
He *did not* say anything about going *into* the Capitol. By contrast Ray Epps did. So why did Ray Epps not go into the Capitol? Why was he put on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List and then taken off when he was "found" "hiding" on his ranch.
I am completely mystified as to why you are following me on Substack: as far as I am aware, I am not on Substack.
Am I? I must have hit something by mistake. Ray Epps has been explained but you prefer conspiracy theories.
So enlighten men.
Sasha, I can’t get enough of listening to your journey from liberal to where you are today. You’re in great company with so many others who have shared their experiences over the last 4 to 8 years.
Also, you are always so optimistic, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
Absolutely agree! Well stated : )
Thank you. 🥰
As someone who self-identifies as a Sasha Stone groupie, it pains me to disagree with you on one point in your otherwise excellent piece. You write, "We’ll be fine either way. If they somehow drag Kamala Harris over the finish line, they’re stuck with her." Humbly, I submit that we will NOT be fine. My family escaped a communist country. I know communism when I see it, and with today's left, I see it to the extent that I can taste it. No. We will not be fine if Trump doesn't prevail.
I have to agree with you. If Harris wins and Congress is Democrat, they will......
1. End the filibuster, allowing them to
2. Add 2 new states, Puerto Rico & Washington DC making the Senate permanent D
3. Pack the Supreme Court making it liberal for a long long time
4. End the electoral college
This will result in a one party country, what they want, and mirror California. Arghh
The flaw in that argument is that even if Harris wins, Dems will certainly lose the Senate. They will be wishing for the filibuster when it's all over.
If they are brazen enough to rig multiple states to assure a Harris victory (and they are), then I submit it is small potatoes to also rig enough Senate and House races to control those chambers too. They know that there have been no consequences for any bad behavior to date, and that the courts (especially SCOTUS under Roberts) will be too timid to take any significant action in opposition.
You forgot "criminalize speech". That will soon move on to compelling speech, under threat of "consequences".
The leadership of the Demo Party, and many of it younger "educated" (i.e. indoctrinated) supporters, are all in with the Marcusean Program of using anti-democratic methods, especially censorship, to "temporarily" suspend democracy. But don't you worry: democracy will be restored just as soon as Utopia is achieved!
Absolutely agree with you.
I grew up believing that communism was bad because they install police states. Are you living in a police state? I'm not. Trump is going to be occupied with getting retribution on people including political opponents who dissent. That sounds like communism to me.
I cannot help you recognize the freedoms you have lost by inches if you don't already notice them. You are surveilled at every intersection; the media has become a propaganda machine for the left; On certain platforms, speech is curtailed by algorithms programmed to find opinions at odds with the current administration (YouTube has removed the full Interview with Trump & Rogan from search results), the voices of conservatives were erased on Facebook, Twitter and others around 2020. Banks and businesses severed their relationships with Trump supporters, while government has decided it knows better than parents what is right for their own children. And to conclude, I hope to God that if he prevails, Trump holds accountable the people who violated the rights of citizens, let alone the Constitution. You call it retribution. I call it justice. It's long overdue.
Yes agree again and so disappointed in the sheeple who cannot see what is right in front of them and freedoms they have slowly lost :(
The invention of small, cheap video cameras has led to the installation of video cameras everywhere, NOT the democrats. Do you have a home security camera? I don't.
The MSM is biased but does not omit everything negative about the left as Fox, NYPost, etc do, totally omitting anything negaitve about Trump and the right-wing. Did any right wing sites report on the ugly language by speakers at Trump's MSG rally?
Fox is reporting that Trump is "distancing" himself from the comments about Puerto Rico being a "floating garbage pile", but did they report that Grant Cardone talked about Harris's "pimp handlers"; Sid Rosenberg said of Democrats, "The whole f***ing party, a bunch of degenerates, lowlives, Jew-haters and lowlives. Every one of them. Every one of them.”, the racist Stephen Miller said, "America is for Americans and Americans only,” echoing the slogan of the Ku Klux Klan and a Nazi slogan, “Germany is for Germans only." Did any right wing sources report that Elon Musk used his political action committee to create an ad attacking Harris that uses the “C” word? Calling Harris “a big ole c-word,” a narrator describes her as a “tax-hiking, regulation-loving, gun-grabbing communist.” It makes you think that Republicans HATE women!
Joe Rogan says there was some problem uploading the trump interview between platforms, but I found it on youtube: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBMoPUAeLnY."
I did not agree with twitter & FB censoring information about Covid. It just made right wingers cling to their conspiracy theories more tightly and gives them a stand to call out censorship.
BTW, Trump is LYING when he says children go to school and come home with sex change operations.
If I thought there was a scintilla of evidence that you could be persuaded of the errors in your opinion, I'd go for it, but I learned decades ago that you don't persuade anyone who resorts to *feelings* to bolster their argument. Not to be unkind, but life is too short to waste my energy on you, and I leave to others who have more bandwidth than I have at the moment to tackle your specious points. You have, in the parlance of the social sciences, cognitive dissonance. But in more laymen's terms, I suspect you 'vote blue no matter who." I leave you to the utopia you think you're going to get if Harris prevails. But if this occurs, know that one day, you WILL wake up, and something you took for granted as a right will be gone. You will remember me then.
The MSM media is full of reports about Biden's gaffe of calling Trump supporter's "garbage" when he was referencing Repubs who think Puerto Rico is a "sea of garbage." Does right wing media EVER report trump's vile rhetoric?
Do you look forward to rising prices due to tariffs being passed on to consumers?
That's what happened with washers and dryers .... oops.
Only the Puerto Rican story made it into the MSM, as far as I can tell, and Fox covered it too.
"America is for Americans" is different from "Germany is for Germans" because Americans are not an ethnicity while Germans are not.
Fox routinely has Demos on, and shows, without "fact-checking", videos of Harris making her usual dubious or worse statements. ("Donald Trump favors a national abortion ban! Donald Trump plans to cut Social Security!")
CNN seems to have finally grown a brain and started aiming for the middle, but MSNBC seems to have a rule No Repos Allowed.
What do you mean, only the Puerto Rican story made it into the MSM? ALL of the vile statements by Trump allies were reported in MSM, but only the biggest one about Puerto Rico made it to Fox. ( See NPR, Oct 28, 24, "Off-color jokes, vitriol take over Trump Madison Square Garden rally") I don't watch Fox because I can't stomach their major hosts, but I do READ Fox. And I don't see anything critical of Trump in print. Although Trump disavows Project 2025, it was written by his former admin officials. I'm sure he hasn't read it but the people around him will push things like "national abortion ban." Trump sent it to the states because he is afraid to touch it, and now women in states with 6 week bans that threaten docs with life in prison if they perform an abortion are DYING during miscarriages because docs won't perform d&cs.
In the headlines, I only saw the first one. (If I wanted a bed-time story, NPR would be my *first* choice ...)
How much critical of Harris is on MSNBC?
Once upon a time, Guilt by Association was a well-known fallacy.
Trump is against 6 week bans. I am pretty sure the states will eventually settle in around 13 weeks, as in much of Europe, and given that the Demos have become the party of the rich, I am sure "crossing state lines" can be arranged.
If "my body, my choice" is a valid argument, what would be wrong with 9-month abortions?
Communists don’t install police states solely by choice. Communism always results in a police state because there is no other way to achieve the control necessary to impose such a disastrous system on people. Are we living in a police state? Not yet, but history shows that leftist ideas can result in nothing else. Perhaps your education was deficient on that obvious point.
So Norway & Sweden are police states?
Norway and Sweden. Leftists cling to them like a woobie blanket. Don’t you wish that the prime examples of leftist rule weren’t Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba? It’s so inconvenient!
I think they are communist or dictatorships (what trump aspires to be like his idol Putin). The "left" is not the same as communism.
If he wanted to be a dictator, why did he spend four years in power taking no steps to make himself a dictator? No offering million dollar bribes to top generals. No creating a red-neck army. Not much of a Grand Master Plan ...
Alinsky: "The issue isn't the issue; the issue is always the revolution (socialism)."
But it would be wrong to say that Biden and his allies were "occupied with getting retribution" on Trump? Why did they invent novel legal theories (only after he announced) to get Trump if not to get Trump? Your outrage is quite selective.
The crimes in NY Trump was convicted of date back more than five years, but they withstood an initial court challenge because of a pandemic-era extension by one year and 47 days.
Non sequitur. I said nothing about any statute of limitations.
Your were talking about rules that were changed to convict trump.
No, I wasn't.
"Lock her up!"

Hip-Hop has been telling us for years….
Sasha, another great one! So far, this is looking like the path to victory. The Trump rally in the Garden shows that everything has changed. I was there and I’m still amazed at everyone I saw there.
Progressive politics has destroyed the old Democrat coalition. Republicans own the popular positions on the border, crime, identity politics, fossil fuel, gender ideology and free speech.
The numbers are staggering! Take a look at these:

Trump is increasing his lead. Up in ALL swing states! And nationally in the popular vote too. Unheard of from a Republican in recent decades.

Somehow it has been memory holed that the white House itself was attacked on May 29, 2020, but somehow the FBI has not been scouring the country for rioters.

Wonderful article!
Thanks
The left has already been caught cheating in numerous States!
I participated in multiple riots in Berkeley in the late sixties and seventies. The whole point was to get the police to over-react. So when you see the capital police shooting rubber bullets and flashbangs into a peaceful maga crowd, you’re watching the incitement of a riot, what they called in Chicago “a police riot.”
Its living history. If he loses , it is to a rigged system and they will lock him up along with many others. This is about Globalism. Obama is a minion for the cabal running the WEF
If they dont cheat he will crush her.
But even if he beats the cheat the progressive are going to legal up and muddy of the results for as long as possible using the courts.
God forbid they maintain control it will get very ugly. Communist ugly
You are correct there should be millions and millions in the streets protesting the win..
They are very evil , nefarious people. Harris is the puppet. The machine chose her because shr is a empty vessel. Very controlable. They are not going to go quietly in the night.
Donald Trump and his populist/ nationalist MAGA. ( us ) are a huge threat to the one world utopian government ( Klauss Schwab) ..
The Global Reset. Its the polar opposite of populism..
The uncontrollable illegal immigration is intentional. EU countries are in huge trouble. Most countries have been destabilized.
All out the to read. Its hiding in plain sight.
Yes, that’s wassup
If they try to lock him up, there will be massive protests.
I don't see that happening. I really believe he is going to win.
There was no riot, and certainly no "insurrection".
There were only FBI agents smashing things up and telling the election fraud protestors to go INTO the Capitol, where those protestors behaved quite nicely, calmly walking within the velvet ropes and even getting guided tours from room to room by Capitol Police, as the footage of the Buffalo Man shows.
The ways you can be 100% certain that it all was a setup by Pelosi and the FBI are:
1. The FBI _still_ won't say how many agents of violence they had embedded the crowd. 100? 1000?
2. We are _still_ not allowed to see all the footage, because that would clearly show the faces of the FBI agents who were being violent to frame the protestors.
Pelosi would be tried and hanged for treason for setting all this up if we really had a legitimate country. Instead we just have mafiosi like Pelosi subverting everything good about America.
.....and where is RAY EPPS ??
Right, he was one of those FBI goons.
Strange that, after loudly demanding "We must go into the Capitol!", he himself did not ... Doesn't "we" include "I"?
January 6th was a total set up. We were early up to the capitol before Trump even finished speaking, The were a couple hundred obvious bad guys (Feds??) already there. Once the peaceful crowd moved up to the capitol the police instigated the crowd with rubber bullets, flashbangs and gas. This also gave the bad guys (not Trump supporters) a reason to start rioting.
True, total set-up. Instigators in the crowd -- and BTW, where is RAY EPPS ?? Gee, think they might've jailed him........NOT!
I hope, like you, there are more people crossing over to the better side. It is inevitable. One can't close off the reality of human interactions. MSM is starting to crack. CNN has a true conservative. Bill Meyer pokes fun at the left.
Please keep sharing your thoughts. The change you made gives us hope.
Thanks for trying to give hope, but if somehow she actually won, we’d be in WWIII and bankrupt before her term is up. Elections will be so fully rigged that it’ll be like Xi in China. There will be no more “free” elections in the USA.
If she wins & the R’s control the Senate, they can mitigate some of the damage. But it’ll still be a brutal administration if Liz Cheney is named Secretary of State or some other cabinet post promised to her for her loyalty.
You are correct, Sasha. They think that if they can just cheat out one more win then they will be home free. Nope. We're still going to be here and slapping them upside the head with the truth.
Harris winning would be a massive blow to Democrats 2028 or probably the next 40 years of ever getting back control. No Trump on the ticket would be an auto loss for Harris 2028. How the EC and states are setup it's virtually impossible to regain the senate with their current make up of battleground states and once 2030 happens kiss ever getting the house back. While Democrats play short term powerplays GOP always play long term games hence why GOP are so powerful and why McConnell is so smart.
I agree. I have visions of Gavin Newsome going into the ballot box voting for anyone but Harris. He needs for her to lose. She can and will run again for a second term in 2028 and there's no way Newsome wants to sit out until 2032!
Newsom won't win PA, GA, WI, MI he's a blue stronghold democrat ONLY popular in those states. Andy Beshear has the best appeal but GOP including Sasha would paint him as worse than Harris, but they should go with him either way.
None of those hankering to run in 2028 want her to win!
Of course, they say they want her to win but reality I suspect they resigned themselves to lose. This is why Waltz was tapped a nobody governor with no cross-appeal talents better to burn two nobodies than burn a qualified candidate.
Yep!
Unless she establishes a One-Party State. The insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment implies that if Trump should be taken off the ballot, so should his supporters. Why wouldn't Demos jump at that? There is nothing elected officials hate more than elections: all risk, no benefit. So why no render them meaningless? Far Left Ideology now tells them it would be positively righteous for them to do that. Very convenient.
Impressive journey you are taking us along. Hope we get to correct place next week.
