It's very easy to portray an adversary as a deadly enemy, and elevating oneself to moral righteousness, regardless of political perspective. It's why I frequently caution against engaging in emotional orientation and terminology. Rather, it's much clearer, and orders of magnitude more accurate, to understand the human condition - actually the condition for all living organisms - is competition over scarce resources. If you have it, you need to be willing to defend it, because those who don't want to take from you. In other words, you cannot keep what you cannot hold.
Reduced to this essential concept, one quickly realizes that war is the universal constant. It continues 24/7 in every sphere, every ecosystem, whether within 'civilization' or out in the wild. Peace is an illusion, a false sense of security to which some fall victim. You can always tell someone who thinks kumbaya by their reaction to the ongoing coup. Expressions like, why I never, I cannot believe this is happening in America, etc. As if a dried piece of parchment with some fancy words is actually going to defend ones safety & (economic) security.
The left does patriots a favor every day by being so obvious that they out their positions - both strategic and tactical. It is wise to remain silent and keep quiet counsel; don't be a fool & reveal yourself. The time will come - as it always does - for an existential struggle to be waged over who gets to rule.

“The NPV states claim their “compact” does not require congressional approval BECAUSE State Legislatures have the sovereign authority to appoint Electors.”
May be true but if a state’s voters elects one person and the state government overturns that result, isn’t that tyranny of the government?
That depends.
Every State Legislature has to provide, through legislation, for the appointment of Electors for President and Vice President of the United States. How they do that is up to them.
All 50 States have chosen, at this point, to involve morons voting as part of the process. But there may be 50 different roles for those morons to play.
For example: I live in NH. Our Legislature appoints 4 Electors.
I literally do not know if the voting that takes place in November is advisory or is binding.
True, this one does.
Yes.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is a tool. The Anti-America deep state has made PDJT into Emmanuel Goldstein. MSNBC and CNN is the Two Minute Hate.
1984 has become a manual.
Great article, very familiar stuff but this is particularly discouraging.
I agree. No way to win a state back once it gets flipped. They’re working furiously on Texas
And notice that only battleground states are talking about and voting to split their electors. Nothing like that coming from California or NY.
I don’t think it is constitutional but who knows with John Roberts?
Most excellent!
Oh, I think not.
Spellcheck mistakes!
The Clinton slate beat the Trump slate in NH.
1 Clinton Beverly Hollingworth
2 Clinton Terie Norelli
3 Clinton Carol Shea-Porter
4 Clinton Dudley Dudley
If Trump won, his Electors would have cast the votes
In NH, they aren’t bound.
