Today, feeling "convicted" means someone else is at fault for making you reflect on your own failures. Responsibility and conviction run counter to elevating yourself to a god in your own life.
No argument on any of that. I do see a lot of people shunning EV's and I hope their numbers increase.The Green energy movement will bankrupt this once great country. Once we hit 50 trillion, we are a dead carcass. We aint far.
Social media, used for evil & pernicious reasons, will destroy this country‘s soul.
Thank you!After my experience with Prop 187, I laugh when I hear it is your "patriotic duty" to vote.
Test that out by moving to California.I also believe we cannot, ever, ever, ever give up.
Even in Texas it can be a challenge to maintain the attitude that one simply CANNOT give up. But there is really NO option. I will not move to Cali or anywhere else. I will encourage others to stand up and claim where they live as their reason to be active and vote their informed convictions.Test that out by moving to California.
Thank you!
I don't want people who are uninformed to vote. Telling people 'I don't care how you vote, just go vote' is the stupidest thing anyone can say. I will admire the dumba** who is willing to stay home if he doesn't have enough sense to educate himself before voting. But I will aslo try my absolute best to get that person to vote the way I vote. I will make him my friend, I will help him, educate him and do my best to turn him into a solid educated voter. And once he is I will do my best to make sure he votes. It's my duty.
I firmly believe a citizen cannot do his duty and be an idle spectator. I also believe we cannot, ever, ever, ever give up.
I somewhat do not agree that choosing not to play in a rigged game is tantamount to quitting.But there is really NO option.
For me the clown world started with Prop 187 in California. The voters, in an election, chose to deny government benefits to illegal immigrants.
Those in support of such benefits had seen their impending defeat, so they went shopping to find a "friendly" judge. The day after the proposition was enacted, the friendly judge deemed the will of the voters to be unconstitutional. That threw it into the court system. Except it never got fought. The CA governor, who wanted such benefits, would not allow the CA state attorneys to work on the case. Pulled any funding for that. So the voter-enacted new law would never survive, first deemed unconstitutional, then killed by CA governor with feel-good policies who wanted the benefits to flow.
Someone wrote above that similar things have happened with electric vehicle subsidies. I have seen this as well-- the will of the people ignored by officials who feel that pushing electric or green is simply what the taxpayers must fund, regardless of need or popularity.
That is bad. But I’m here to tell you that Tick Tok allows all points of view to be shared.That, and the fact that studies show that the majority of adults 30 and under get their news from Tic-Toc. That is enough to scare anyone.
