The QMagats are zombies. Incapable nor desirous of learning. They are angry that there are Americans that look, act and think differently. They have been shrink wrapped with denial and hate. There is no penetrating this protective layer of bigotry, idiocy and evil.

The only solution is outvoting and out lawyering. There are more of us than them. And the younger the generation, the more that is true.

So, in my perfect world, every American would be automatically registered to vote when they turned 18. And every American would be required to vote. In person, early, via mail-in ballot - whatever is easy and secure. Failure to vote would mean financial penalties. Failure to vote would be considered an insult to all other Americans. It would be viewed as "passive sedition".

And along with that voter registration card would be their National Service Card and an explanation of what the options are to provide the nation with two years of your life.

To get this jump started and to be fair to the rest of us, all older citizens would be automatically registered as well. And the same obligation of voting would apply.

BTW, this is not an original idea. In Australia, voting is REQUIRED by law.

Sorry Bill but I have to say that I disagree with your solution.

Coerced votes are not freely voiced. Your proposition is just a step away from Putin's referendums in eastern Ukraine. Who wants uninformed, disinterested millions making spur of the moment choices that will effect the rest of the nation for years to come? It's a recipe to have every window-licking idiot that doesn't vote tick the box of whatever GoP tub-thumper he saw most on TV or Utoob today.

Many thousands of Australian voters chose to pay the fine as a protest rather than vote for politicians who they feel serve interests other than the electors'. Freedom is being able to withold your vote, if you consider that no contender is worthy of it.

I respect your opinion. But simply returning a form with "none of the above" could be considered a "vote" and also make one's dissatisfaction clear.

Requiring participation doesn't need to be punishing.

So what's the difference between ticking "none" as opposed to simply not voting?

I can pretty much guarantee that if that Australian law suddenly became a "talking point, we'd be hearing that yeah, well...it's is a whole CONTINENT of brainwashed Marxists. that's how fucking stupid they are.

I sort of roped myself into purchasing the audiobook of "The Divider." I hadn't intended to buy it (in fact, I promised myself I WOULDN'T), but it was on such fabulous SALE. and you now what they say about "us" and SALES. thing is, it's a whole lot of fun. I really thought I knew what I needed to know about TFF and his minions, but there's always MORE!

Happy New Year, everyone.

I have the book, and - JFC! - I thought I knew it all and it wasn't even close.

Shana Tova! to you and all the other tribe members here.
