RE: Gary Johnson Could Have Won His Senate Race If New Mexico Had Ranked Choice Voting
What if they were controlled opposition to diffuse the energy of dissidents into a political movement that would be going no where? Ever heard the theory that Jesse Benton is a CIA agent? Lol I love that one. Also–– Alex Jones did get a huge anti-government following, and now has them all supporting the president of the United States and eating partisan state propaganda right out of his hands. Maybe he did believe it all those years but sold out.
Jones' endorsement of Trump perplexed me too at first. However, considering how far radically left the country was moving and what was about to happen. I now see why he made the personal decision that he did.
The left is clearly working against America's interest in so many ways. Economically, and with respect to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. Remove all of those things and you've got a disarmed surf class who can't speak freely without the force of the State crushing them like a tonne of bricks.
Jones' has great power with his platform and I think he's trying to use that power as responsibly as he knows how. Granted, real libertarianism (not the Gary Johnson variety) is a more desirable outcome.
Yet if you think about it, in some ways many libertarians have infiltrated the republican party and I think they've resorted to this tactic because they know running independent has not worked historically.
It hasn't even gotten close to working since Ross Perot and they shook up the debate rules after he almost won leaving no room for the possibility for a third party to come so close to winning again. Even outside of those rules you've got the fourth branch of government and their bias.
If every thing we're cut and dry [ A or not A] that would be simple. Yet, I fear we're in more of a quantum quagmire and our best chance out of it may in fact be someone like DJT who has proven time and time again that he can operate in the clutch in ways that others simply can not.
None of that is an endorsement of Trump or Statism per se. He does however seem a bit of a rare bird. It's not like when Bush was running against Kerry and they are both skull and Bones members.
The media clearly hates this guy with a passion and I think it's because he's genuinely working against the money power who'd like to see this countries people further enslaved, disarmed and poor.
There may be no right or wrong way out of the muck and mire that this country has gotten itself into. Maybe there is many ways to achieve it, maybe there are none. I found it a pleasant surprise that Trump at least thinks for himself on many of the issues and isn't an empty suit or someone's yes man.
Sure, all of these points are debatable. Yet, I think some of the greatest mystery's of why presidents do what they do when they take office is because of contract law and preexisting agreements that cause them to be bound into entangling alliances that they may have not been privy to prior to having won the office.
