We have a very similar situation here like what happened with Porfirio Diaz in Mexico in 1910
The Mexican Revolution ^ | 17 January 2021 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Guess you folks forgot I wrote this back on November 8, 2020.

Click here.

We are having a parallel situation to what happened in Mexico with Porfirio Diaz in a way. He cheated, got caught, and the people were enraged. Even when Federal troops gunned folks down in the Zocalo square, they did NOT retreat. Porfirio Diaz had to flee the country.

Sleepy Joe is not acting like a victor. The Democrats are not acting like victors. They are acting like a theif who stole something from you and is then telling you that the police will not do anything because they are friends with the police. Thieves do not act like victors, even when they get away with something they are always fearful. The Democrats are fearful. The problem with fearful people is that they can be very dangerous.

The “big cheat” is an epoch changing event.

_Everyone_ in public life has been touched by it.

_Everyone_ in public life has chosen sides.

The kleptocrats can _smell_ it.

They _know_ that there _will_ be an accounting.

They figure if they hang together they won’t hang separately.

That is a good strategy.

However, history shows there is never honor among thieves.

Their ranks will break...they will turn on each other—and then we _will_ get our country back.

Our allies may come from places we least expect—and we need to be wise enough to embrace them when the time is right.

We just need to be smart, cautious when and where they are strong.

We will need to be aggressive and demanding true justice when they are weak.

The Democratic Party has been exposed as a criminal enterprise. Some Republicans have been exposed as accessories.

They will have to be banned from the public square for life—and their ill-gotten gains will need to be clawed back—when the time is right.

Patience is our friend.

Mexico has a different attitude about the law. They don’t think it’s uncorrupted so they have no illusions to prevent them from raising a fuss.

It’s hard to lose the illusion, especially when you’d have to get tough without it, and everyone with a voice is stepping up to forswear getting tough. We mustn’t be uncivilized.

I read a very interesting article mapping our present situation to developments in Spain before their civil war. The overall similarity was constant political and cultural attacks, and a steady grab for power by the Left.

Here, I'll just repost it here:

It's all or nothing for Democrats, Leftists (BLM, etc.), the Media, GOP traitors, etc. and let me explain. They are so desperate, that almost nothing short of war is going to make them back up. All of them have come out and stated clearly Biden has won the election.

They're all in. If the investigation points to election fraud as the reason for Biden's "win", all hell is going to break loose. The perpetrators and the ones who supported them HAVE to be punished, or this will become the norm for all major elections in the future. They know that. They also know the Trump supporters will MAKE SURE THEY PAY for what they've done. Media outlet properties will suffer extensive damage, individuals involved will not be able to go out in public without MASSIVE security details. "Protesters" will be faced off and beaten. There is not enough law enforcement and no "One Riot, One Ranger" type crappy ideas that will stop that many millions of enraged people. Look at the historic revolt against Porfirio Diaz in Mexico in history for a reminder. His Federal troops killed a LOT of people in the Zocalo square when the crowds gathered to demand he leave...and the thousands of others just stood there. The troops retreated and Porfirio fled.

They HAVE to win this with everything they have said and done or absolute, total consequence is going to arrive at their doors. They can NOT face a society which has been awakened with a "Dewey Defeats Truman" lie that they perpetrated. They will not be able to stand and everyone connected to them in the government and law enforcement will pay a price and they know it. They're not going to admit it, but most of them are terrified.

Next, they have to go after ALL major Republican players in this theater to make an example for the masses to try and dissuade them from attacking. If Biden wins, the exact opposite is going to happen to the other side. That's why Fox News switched. They are trying to protect their properties. With extreme, prejudiced dishonesty, the Democrats, BLMers/Anti-fa, GOP traitors and the Media in their thirst for power have brought us to the very brink of civil war and THEY ARE afraid of what might happen. There no longer remains middle ground, no matter what anyone or entity says. Because of evil motives, some very bad players and have brought us to a horrible end point. May God, through His infinite power, repay them for what they've done.

Yes, they should be fearful, people who have been robbed
and swindled out of something so precious as liberty
tend to get angry about it.

“[Diaz] and his allies comprised a group of technocrats known as Científicos, “scientists”.[4] His economic policies largely benefited his circle of allies as well as foreign investors, and helped a few wealthy estate-owning hacendados acquire huge areas of land, leaving rural campesinos unable to make a living.”

Sounds like a ‘Rat administration!

Didn’t Diaz murder Emiliano Zapata?
Did he have anything to do with the Cristero War massacre?

Carranza had Emiliano Zapata killed. The Catholic Church stirred up the Cristero Revolution, then, when the Mexican Federal government gave the clergy what they wanted, the church turned its back on the Cirsteros which led to basically a massacre.

The Feds then captured and killed a large number of them and hung them on telephone poles as an example to the people. People don't study history and certainly not Catholic history.

The catholic church is doing right now a similar thing by not saying anything about the evil actions of Catholics Biden, Pelosi and Feinstein and a host of others.
