Besides, who decides who gets to keep or lose one’s voting rightS?

When they lose the civil war they lose the right to vote. It's not who decides. It will be decided for them by the winners of the war like always. They might even lose the right to own property if they aren't careful. How long these rights are lost may depend on background checks done to find out how much of a villain they were/are.

All the Rats have to do is change the rules when they get into power. Example: Wolf became Governor of my state Pennsylvania after negative attack ads starting a year before election, has PA Supreme Court order redistricting in state so Trump can never win again in PA, broke apart my red suburban district in South Hills of Pittsburgh and lumped it in with Democratic Pittsburgh, we are shellshocked, mission accomplished, local libraries and churches have seminars on why redistricting is fair and just for you. Shut up, comrade.

But if it went to the nations Supreme Court that went by the rule of law instead of the leftist corruption and mindset; it could be turn around.

This kind of thing explains the left’s desperate need to prevent the SC from leaning right. It also represents why it’s so important for Kav to be seated.

The left depends on using the SC to back up their illegal shenanigans.

The accusation is the conviction. No trial.

Yes, he is a brilliant man, but not so smart that he isn’t co-opted by the enemies’ language. One is in error using the word progressive for the enemy. Even if used as a reference for a self identifier the enemy uses. Then the correct reference is “ progressive, i.e. racist regressive fascist”.

By not using “regressive” he conceded much ground in his otherwise excellent article.

Please tell me exactly how that correction is going to remedy or replace the leadership of corporate America, the churches, all of education, all democrats and most republicans, all of the entertainment media, all of the programming, news and broadcast media? Etc. etc.

The very few exceptions you can cite, prove the point.

More Republicans elected. The temporary rule of Trump. All pale to the depth and reach of the above. Re-read the article and count the numbers of each organic entity that he uses as examples.

Tell me how your correction will change their minds. Tell me how your correction will eliminate their influence, control of the young, or silence their voice.

Agreed, this is probably his most pessimistic of all observations. From a historical perspective it is devastating.

Nice dream. Isn’t going to happen.

The academic types are fully protected and funded by republican majority controlled statehouses, state legislatures, and the U.S. Congress.

I wish I could agree with you Boomer, but its only a matter of time before the 2nd and 3rd generations of kids both dumbed-down and brainwashed by the Marxist gov. schools become an irreversible majority of voters - even in red states like Texas (e.g., Cruz’s fight now), Alabama (Senator Jones).

No conservative, including Rush Limbaugh, has proposed any solution for reversing the Marxist control and domination of Education (tho Rush has noted it) that is the true origin of the destruction and takeover of our nation. Literally millions of brain-washed, non-thinking, emotionally immature of voters are produced and generated by the Gov. educational system, and there is no way to stop this trend.

Our respite with Trump will be a brief one. albeit greatly welcomed. While he is no saint, I believe he is there because of divine intervention.

I fear only our nation’s collapse - or war - can stop the irreversible path we are on. Every year, true conservatives become more of a minority......

Since I do not pay FB for their product (other than offering opportunity for them to gather data) I reckon they have latitude to black list or block at will.

I'm sliding toward thinking they are a monopoly that should be broken up, unless they abide by freedom of speech guidelines. I'm not quite there yet.

It would be interesting to see what happened if you posted another link to https://amgreatness.com/. I would do it, but I don't have a Facebook account. If they are being blocked by Facebook, American Greatness might want to know about that.
