    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    'The Storm' turned out to be a few very brief flurries as Biden made his entrance. And that was it.

    Quote from the article:

    "QAnon’s adherents came to believe that the cabal would eventually be exposed and arrested in an event known as the Storm and orchestrated by Mr Trump. But despite repeated predictions of dates for such an event – including an initial indication from the person going by the name Q that it would happen in 2017 – and an insistence that it would eventually arrive, nothing happened."

    Hahahaha -- who was it here that predicted something else happening in 2017? Ah yes, that's right! JPP's favorite tipsy-gypsy prognosticator, Sister Stench!

    Extremists Are Already Preying On Desperate QAnon Followers

    It looked like QAnon was finished.

    But as the dust settled, it became very clear that QAnon was not going anywhere.

    “Some weak soldiers left the field today,” one high-profile figure told their followers, before urging them to remain faithful, and believe in everything they had learned over the last three years.

    This was a common thread among almost all the major QAnon influencers, many of whom also invoked prayer and God’s role in what is supposedly to come. Over the last three years, QAnon’s high profile figures have attracted hundreds of thousands of loyal followers. Many of them have made a lot of money from their followings, and they’re not about give up the grift.

    ironic for corrupted people to think they are so much smarter than those they control verbally, they always forget nature's basics. the social ocean of deep seated midirecting facts never reveal a tsunami going on beneath the surface a volcano erupting until it hits shallow water on the shore of mutually evolving from now on.

    no storm required.

    You are a special kind of stupid, aren't you? "95% Democrat," you say. First of all, the word is "Democratic". Secondly, what is your source for claiming that 95% of the population of DC is Democratic? Lastly, your dickless president was not only unable to drain the swamp in four years, but he added to it more than any other president in US history. Get your shit together.

    Idealists of one character role playing vanish the instant they change ideas but the ancestors playing the parts remain same genetic displacement here from then forward? Never allow context to define actual results mutually evolving into never duplicated total sum twice again.

    the evidence vanishs into thin air of statistical averaged outcomes from now on.

    Who is that info-wars guy?

    Oh yeah.

    Alex Jones.

    His mind must be working overtime trying to come up with the next conspiracy theory.

    He has to understand the situation and be looking to exploit the multitudes of lost sheep.

    Keep an eye on him.

    If he can come up with something to fill the void he'll do it.

    Having the whole nation come together as one, and drop all this hatred, is the worst thing that could happen to him.
