The Tragedy of Our Electoral Commons
PJ Media ^ | 12 Nov 2018 | Sarah Hoyt

very conservative and libertarian who has any education at all has heard of The Tragedy of the Commons. It’s even been co-opted by the left to claim that climate is suffering a tragedy of the commons, and we must act right now. (Act now. Double the oppression. Be the first on your block to have a jackboot on your face!) But then again, what precisely doesn’t the left co-opt to serve their ruthless drive for total power? They’d even co-opt (two) Mom(s) and (fat-free) apple pie if they thought that would help them. They’ve even tried to claim patriotism. (Because open borders are the best way to be a patriot. Or something.)

And yet, the left is enacting a tragedy of the commons right here, in our polity, and doesn’t see how and why it’s happening.

And yes, that tragedy is our fault too, the fault of everyone who doesn’t push back and smack the left on the snout. But it is more so the tragedy of everyone who hasn’t done it long before we were born. Not that we can do anything about that. Not that they could imagine how blatant and crazy the left would get. The question now is how we stop that train before the buckets of blood station, and it starts with knowing where we are and looking it unflinchingly in the eye.

And the Dems fight – fight like demons – to preserve all the fraud-facilitating measures. We’re to believe, btw, that they went vote-by-mail in CO to save money. Because the party of “Medicare for all” is all about saving money, doncha know? They went after Truethevote for a reason.

Then there are blatant recounts and “found ballots.” And there is proof right there. Not that anyone is looking for proof of fraud, of course, but it’s impossible to ignore that every time ballots are found they’re obviously mostly Democrat so that the greatest vote margins can be erased.

There is only one way this is going to end if it is not stopped now. In blood.

Thanks Rummyfan for the post. I have had the pleasure of meeting her and her family several times.
