After the November 5, 2024 election, there will either be 1.) an undeniably big win for one of the two major party candidates, or 2.) there will be a period of huge uncertainty.
I do not know what that period of uncertainty will look like.
I know, however, that there are ways to be prepared for it.
While this goes against the prepper, rugged self-reliance theories, I think it is the main thing that has made sense since the Ides of March 2020: more community.
It’s The Community, Stupid
It is time to get to know your likeminded neighbors. If you do not know if they are likeminded, these days leading up to the election is the time to understand where your neighbors stand.
This is no small matter. You need to be moderately self-reliant, but the world for millennia has had divisions of labor. You can not do everything. You need to know the people who are in close physical proximity to you.
1.) Talk to your neighbors. Do not talk about the weather. The election is not the be-all-and-end-all of life, but asking them what they think about the upcoming election offers you a good opportunity to get them talking about their values. “What do you think about the upcoming election?” can be a good opener to that area of conversation. You do not want to stop there, though. Get below the surface. Get to their values. Understand what they believe.
2.) Join up with the local political party that most agrees with your views and offer to walk your neighborhood for them. They will train you on using software to do that. The software will tell you who the other local members are and how people are registered. You will, again, have an opportunity to talk with people about their values.
3.) Go door-to-door in your neighborhood on behalf of your church, inviting people to church if they do not already have a home church. This will again expand the number of neighbors you know and will get you a chance to talk about values. You do not need anyone’s permission to do this. You can simply start knocking on doors and introducing yourself.
4.) Turn to area organizations you are already a part of, getting down into the values of individuals. Perhaps you see each other at the monthly meeting or exchange a few niceties in passing on Sunday mornings, but have never really gotten to know the person or their values. Now is a good time to be doing that. You, again, do not need anyone’s permission to do this, and right before the election is the exact right time to pressure yourself to get to know your neighbors better.
Even in the least-free corners of this country, there are people living free lives under the radar. People living in those situations tend to have exercised their values a little better, because it is nearly impossible to go with the flow in such places and live a free life. Any place comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. There are advantages to living even in those unfree places. Living in such a place should not stop you from knowing your neighbors, especially the under-the-radar freedom fighters.
It is good to first exhaust existing structures and existing groups that you are a part of. There is no need to reinvent the wheel in most situations.
5.) Offer to work Election Day in your own precinct by contacting your County Clerk. In doing so, you will be meeting your neighbors and checking them in to vote. This is a good option, and certainly better than nothing, but the above options are better. This would be paid work and some positions could be open at last-minute notice. Also, local political parties might be willing to put you in a polling place for unpaid work. The goal, again, is not the pay, it is getting to know your neighbors better and with quick efficiency.
6.) Join an organization such as People’s Rights which focuses on neighborhood participation among neighbors. You can find that organization at PeoplesRights.ws (In case you are wondering about the domain — a court order allowed creditors to seize the main website from the organization after Ammon Bundy hurt the feelings of some doctors who medically kidnapped a breastfeeding infant). It does not need to be that organization. There are others. I recommend the first four options for a quick turnaround because joining People’s Rights often means that you will be put in charge of being a local organizer and thrown into the fray. The options above offer quicker turnaround for a late situation and for the exact purposes of which I am writing. People’s Rights offers a good longer term option.
Working An Election, If Done Right, Is Time Spent In Community Building And Building The Circle Of Good People Around You
The neat thing about working an election is that the same things that work to win an election are the things that work to get you meeting your neighbors. They are good at building community. At the latest stages in the pre-election period (usually the last week or two), it is the GOTV phase. There is not usually a lot of convincing of voters left to do. It is, instead, the time to “get out the vote.”
It is the time to check in with people you know and to verify that they are voting and how they are going to vote (mail-in, early voting, election day in person), and if they need any help figuring out their polling place location or their early voting location and if they need help getting there.
Some people are voting for a different person than you. Those people you do not want to make that generous offer of time to (such as an offer to drive them to the polling place and back). So you need to do voter ID first, which is to figure out who they are leaning toward voting for.
Either Get All-In Or All-Out
Do yourself a favor, commit to get off the couch and start helping, or tune out of the day-to-day drama of the elections and the almost certain drama that will come between now and Inauguration Day.
To help means this: your money and/or your time. There is not much other help you can offer a campaign.
Commit that you are all-in to stop the second round of the ongoing coup we are living through, or commit that you are going to just go back to living your life. Quit sitting on the sidelines pretending.
The Next Three Months Will Be Something That Historians Will Have A Field Day With
After the American color revolution of 2020 (which went from approximately December 1, 2019 to January 20, 2021), after the Ides of March 2020, after the stolen elections of November 2022, and after the false flag attacks, persecutions, and coverups of January 6, 2021, I think it is fair to say that the American ruling class has shown that they are ready to pull no punches in making sure the American people are disenfranchised in the federal elections and at all cost.
Despite what some may say, there are vast differences between the two major party candidates. I consider those who say otherwise to be tremendously ubsophisticated in their understanding of politics. Yes, I understand each candidate comes with many flaws. Trump is not perfect and he is neither the savior nor the comforter that America most needs to turn to. In the political arena, the two candidates are not the same. Below are some theorems for considering.
Any Honest Person Who Says “There Is No Difference In The Candidates” Is Tremendously Unsophisticated In Their Understanding Of Politics, And Undeserving Of Your Time
Some theorems for considering:
Theorem #1: The act of campaigning is vastly different than the act of governing. Politicians campaign to win. They win so they can govern. This makes it hard to know what they will do when they govern. To conflate the act of governing with the act of campaigning is a major mistake in evaluating the politician. The politician campaigning is under no such presumption that the two acts are the same. Nor should you be.
Theorem #2: The anti-confirmation bias theorem: Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see.
Theorem #3: Evaluate a politician based on actions and not on words. Self-explanatory, and seldom followed.
Theorem #4: Zionists tend to hate Donald Trump. Trump refused to give them the destabilizing, expansionist wars they asked for. Trump continues to grow that anti-war movement on the right and on the left. Trump seems to hope that his extreme pro-Zionist rhetoric will bridge that divide and earn him a few extra points in the election. Despite four years with the nuclear football in his possession, he never used the codes or brought us into a new war. He spoke brashly and acted brashly, but did not start wars. There is not a more anti-war president that has existed since the Second World War.
Theorem #5: Know-it-alls are wrong. The biggest knuckleheads in the political arena are: libertarians, Bitcoin people, constitutional conservatives, and Christians who think they know everything. The truth is they don’t. Their arrogance is annoying. The same is true about any other group of people fitting this description.
Theorem #6: Know-nothings are wrong. The second biggest group of knuckleheads are those who have pursued higher education and have onboarded the ennui and skepticism of the various post-modernist movements. The very tone of their voice betrays them. They believe nothing can be known. There is no truth. They accept those maxims as truths.
Both groups are knuckleheaded. Truth exists. It can be known. Each one of us have not done the sufficient hard work to get there in all areas of life, so we must approach the world humbly. No one has arrived at a perfect form. Life is a process. And we must be willing to accept that the uncomfortable act of uncovering the truth brings us one step closer to rescuing ourselves from the effective Mk-Ultra effort to lock you into one of the two prior forms of knuckleheadedness and inaction that the CIA and likeminded entities want you comfortably and controllably siloed into.
Our Flawed Constitution And Flawed System Has Excellent And Useful Foundations For Protecting You, And Your Family, And Your Home From Death And Destruction
You are watching a peaceful revolution take place in a system designed to host peaceful revolutions rather than bloody revolutions. That is a neat system that has been handed to us and worth preserving. War is very bad. We do not want it on our homeland. It would probably be a bad time to consent to scrapping the Constitution.
A wiser people than us handed us that gift of a system that can accommodate peaceful revolutions, something I am most grateful for.
Murray Rothbard illustrates repeatedly in Conceived in Liberty, his history of the American Revolution, that once war has begun, no one can ever know the outcome. Unintended consequences abound.
You Are Living Through A Grand Opportunity
You may not understand the arc of history well enough to comprehend the glorious opportunity that you are living through. But if you are sitting on the sidelines right now you kind of suck.
