I’m tired of all the conspiracy rhetoric. It’s just bullshit.

Period.

There are only two choices:

The left conspired to steal the election from Donald J. Trump

or

The right conspired to steal the election from Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

Where is the middle ground? Nowhere. One or the other. You must choose. There is no such thing as “not believing in conspiracy theories,” so no more bullshit about no conspiracies, we have one or the other. The only question is which one is more plausible.

So let’s put on our thinking caps:

Conspiracy Theory One. The Donald and his followers saw the Biden win coming so they organized more than 500 people to come forward in specific and strategic electoral college locations, sign affidavits which they swore to under the penalty of perjury, each presenting highly detailed allegations of fraud. Then before the voting began Donny & Company found numerous forensic statisticians to project the statistical impossibilities of the Biden win. Next they organized the Republican poll-watchers to abandon their posts so they could report intimidation and obstruction, stage videos of said intimidation and obstruction, even arranging a fake water main break to cover their departure. They also recruited forensic computer experts to obtain court orders to examine voting machines and those same experts agreed to find switched votes, ratio votes, and suspiciously deleted files. Then under oath perjure themselves with stories that not only were the machines vulnerable to fraud but fraud was perpetrated upon the American voter by manipulation of said machines. Finally, video surveillance was arranged and personnel loyal to the democrat side of the political spectrum were recruited to pull out multitudes of ballots in the middle of the night to run through voting machines multiple times to give the appearance of stuffing the ballot box in strategic cities in strategically significant states to alter the electoral college outcome. All of this to give the appearance of voter fraud that might overturn the election.

Conspiracy Theory Two. The democratic party, under the cloud of a global pandemic, orchestrated an unprecedented mail-in ballot campaign that covered irregular vote counting and ballet stuffing. Strategically placed, party aligned vote counters oversaw multitudes of ballots run through voting machines while threatened, intimidated, and connived pollwatchers so they could not observe the operations. Additionally, some voting machines were set to a ratio to count more vote totals to Biden than to Trump no matter the true vote count. These actions occurred in high population cities in strategic states that were sufficient to overturn the will of the people in the electoral college tally.

So which is more plausible?

If theory one is accepted, then prosecute to the hilt, for the perpetrators attempted to overthrow American democracy.

If theory two is accepted, then prosecute to the hilt, for the perpetrators overthrew American democracy.

There is no middle ground.

I do not condone violence; not during the summer of 2020 or in January of 2021. Further, I condemn the use of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s quote “a riot is the language of the unheard” as an excuse for riots. I also reject the sensationalism and inflated labeling of riots to propel ridiculous narratives and blame. Yes, I’m talking to you democrats and republicans and libertarians and media and podcasters and bloggers and any other nut case out there.

That being said, most of the violence we saw in 2020 was due to a lack of transparency or at least too many not waiting for transparency to occur. Shutting down forms of communication–or worse, only one side of the information–will do nothing but incite greater divisions and great distrust. Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of the American way of life. Shutting down some on social platforms undermines liberty and the free flow of ideas. Basically it says that you, American, are too damn dumb to discern fact from fiction, right from wrong. Of course you’re not worried about you, its the other idiot, right? (insert faceplant)

1861. The Democratic Party of America led the confederacy into succeeding from the United States in an attempt to ensure the continued enslavement of a minority people group. As history tells us, a bitter war was fought. The north was led by a Republican president to not only bring freedom to those enslaved in the south but to ensure the union.

2021. With the presidential election of 2020 and the senatorial runoff election in Georgia of 2021, the long-standing promise “The South will rise again” has been fulfilled. Again it’s the Democratic party with the same spirit of bigotry, prejudice, and enslavement the republicans fought against one hundred sixty years ago.

This go-around is a little different. No longer are brothers selling each other into slavery to be force-shipped off into foreign lands, its Democrats with promises of dangling shiny objects with “FREE” price tags enticing fellow Americans to willingly board the ship of enslavement.

I’m reminded of an old Twilight Zone episode “To Serve Man” where the aliens show the world how to live in peace and prosperity for all. A few at a time are rewarded with travel to the aliens home world. Just as a ship is about to depart a woman comes running up to the loading site pleading “don’t get on that ship!” She had translated the rest of the alien book “To Serve Man” learning it had nothing to do with peace and prosperity for the human race but everything to do with mankind being devoured. “Don’t get on that ship! It’s a cookbook!”

We’ve already seen the democratic party’s plans playout repeatedly throughout the course of history. We’ve already seen their book has nothing to do with peace and prosperity. It’s a cookbook, America. It’s a cookbook! A plan to devour us. And that ain’t no bullshit!
