I Guess I Have My Tinfoil Hat Screwed On Tight Tonight Because......


I've been doing too much thinking today. Given all the obstruction of the Repub Party over the last 6 years and with them shutting down the government and basically being on the wrong side of just about every issue - including women's rights, jobs, unions, immigration, gays,want to end ACA, privatize schools, jails, impeach the president, etc. ---- yet we are still hearing from the mainstream media that the Repubs will maintain the House and have a good chance of taking the Senate.

What???? Have the American People lost their minds? I just can't and don't believe it. Given all this wrong sidedness of the Repub Party and the obstruction and them decimating the middle class and burying the poor, the elderly and students - how can this be true. The Repubs have basically alienated every major voting block - yet they still can win the House and take the Senate?

Do you really believe this? Even with all the gerrymandering that is said to secure them - they have to have alienated many of their loyal constituents too - that want a change - to get this country back on track.

So I've come to the following theories:

Theory 1: We're being lied to by the MSM and the Repubs are going to lose bigger than they ever have and the Dems will take the House and increase their majority in the Senate.

Theory 2: The American People are really racist and they just want the Black Man in the White House to fail.

Theory 3: The MSM is right and the American People are just really, really stupid and will shoot themselves in the feet.

Theory 4: The Election is fixed and Citizens United (CU) is just the cover story to steal the Republic from the American People. The Dems are in on it. We can blame it on SCOTUS and all the money going in to these elections - but bottom line they were fixed - and the money from CU is just a good way to place the blame on something.

Those are my theories. I don't know which one is right. I'm curious if others here on DU have other theories - I'd like to hear them.

Right now I'd like to really believe my Theory 1.

The mass suicides that happen after the November election in the DUmp will be glorious.

5. People who have voted GOP all of their lives are no more likely to vote Dem than I am to vote GOP. Yeah, a good dose of stupid, but also a good dose of not really paying attention. And habit.

Got an email from a Green party candidate for local school board.
Curious about his platform.
BIG on charter schools and not raising taxes to pay for additional classes on technical studies.
Seems more Libertarian to me, somehow.
So, no vote. Will vote for the Democrat.
Cannot vote for GOP.
And so it goes.

8. The narrative needs to be in place before they can steal the election by way of unverifiable electronic voting machines. If the MSM didn't make people believe that it is not only possible but virtually inevitable for the Republicans to keep the House and take the Senate, then everyone would be up in arms over such an election result--and the voting machines' packability would be obvious.

But by emphasizing the factors that supposedly make a Republican victory inevitable, the powers that be massage expect ions and set up a narrative that makes the stolen results seem quite normal. These are some of the factors being hyped in the MSM:

(1) the claim that gerrymandering makes many Repub seats impossible for any Dem to win
(2) presenting midterms as an inevitably lost cause for the party that has the presidency
(3) hyping polls that suggest Obama's popularity is at an all-time low
(4) constantly repeating the false narrative (i.e., that Repubs will take the Senate and retain the House)

The truth isn't really true. It's what the DEMs want you to believe... that's true. Barry isn't down in the Polls. America's standing in the world isn't down. There is no border crisis. We are winning in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, etc. etc.etc...

10. Okay.

Your theories:

#1 We're always being lied to by the MSM. It doesn't necessarily follow that there will be an overall R loss or D gain.

#2 Yes, many American people are really racist, and they just want the Black Man to fail. Of course, there are plenty of non-racist reasons to want some of his policies to fail. That won't stop me from voting my Democratic Senator back into office this November.

#3 Too many American people are really, really clueless.

#4 The election is always rigged in favor of TPTB. You can throw race, gender, religion, and other hot-button factors in to whip the masses into a frenzy, but in the end, the person elected, regardless of those hot-buttons, will be corporate owned.

fyi: The Democrats do not have clean hands on many of those things that you are accusing Republicans of decimating. Democrats have, at the least, offered Republicans a helping hand, and, at the worst, led the charge. THAT is why Democrats may be in trouble this fall. They aren't going to get Republican votes, and they've driven many natural allies away.

GLORIOUS!!!

That was proven in 2012, in spades. see what I did there?

Face it ****tard, you aren't a democrat, you're a fascist and a ****ing loon to boot.

I thank God that this primitive will never hold any power beyond their ability to cast a vote, and that in itself is dangerous enough.

Tinfoil hats only work if the shiny side is up.

It's rigged DUmbasses.

We own the voting machines, so your vote will never count.

We own the MSM so you'll never get the truth out.

You're doomed.

You might as well wait in your gun-free residences for the Dissident Extrication and Re-education Police (DERP) to ship you out to the work camps.

No posts on OBAMACARE ruling?

I wish globull would come over here and help me out with his list so we can better understand.

1.  Women's rights - Can you please for the love of god and all his creatures show me one freaking thing any republican has done to hurt or not promote women's rights?
2.  Jobs - Again, I know this is just going to be a difference of how to run an economy (ie free market) but show me an example.
3.  Unions - No we don't like them, but what have done to stop them?  Other than lobby against them.  Same way you lobby for abortion.  Guess you don't like life.  Oh and a little seceret, they have helped kill your Jobs in #3.
4.  Immigration - I think I speak for everyone here.  WE DO NOT MIND IMMIGRATION!  We hate illegal immigration.  The same way you would hate someone breaking in your house, using your bed, your shower, and stealing all your food.
5.  Gays - Speaking for myself.  I could care less about Gays.  I do care that you want to make me and my family agree with their lifestyle.  That is like me making you agree with Christianity or something.  Ridiculous right?
6.  Want to end ACA - Yes we do.  BTW, my neighbor with two adults and three kids who is self employed.  Premiums went from $800 per month to $1400 per a month.  Let me do the math for you.......  that's a 75% increase.
7.  Privatize schools -  Personally I want schools ran by the states like they were intended.  There is ABSOLUTELY NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY for the Department of Education.
8.  Jails - Don't care.
9   Impeach the president - Yes.  Things like "If you like your doctor you can keep him."

Dipshit, big-eared Barry has been in office for 5.5 years. Republicans have only controlled one side of Congress for 3.5. Dims controlled it for 2, and they've controlled the senate for the ENTIRE ****ing time.

Reb, they haven't bent over and grabbed their ankles for Barry at all, and that pisses the DUmb****s off.

And you're probably using that cheap thin dollar store tinfoil.  Lacks the quality reception, you get from the heavy duty thick tinfoil.

Have they quit making the quilted tinfoil? Now that stuff make a wave proof hat and if you put a bill or wide brim on it, it protected you from fallout and chemtrails.  ....not to mention excellent nightcaps.
