I had planned on waiting a day after the election to write this, but events have moved faster than my required reading, and my writing energy levels ;>
Overall summary; there was no Red Wave, there was no Blue Wave. This election would have been a "delaying action win" for Americans...if the democong hadn't moved ahead with massive voter fraud across the country. We'll get to that.
This begins with some tendencies of the American voter in general...the normal guy that doesn't focus on politics much. I did not mention this on my Election Day post, but while I was initially impressed at the huge turnout (it was bigger than 2016 IMO), the conversations in the line worried me. The first line of...ahem, thought...that concerned me were the folks that were saying they hadn't made a decision up to that point. I had to bite my tongue and NOT yell, then get OUT of the fucking line you ignorant, lazy bastards!
Let's face, it IS a right to be a dumb bastard and make dumb political decisions. We can get theoretical about "no government means no force", but as I've said before, that's all semantical bullshit. EVERY way in which humans organize the way they make group decisions is government by another name. And unless you want to start making eligibility restrictions ( a post on this is on the shelf due to the current crisis), that means HERE and NOW, that dumbasses' votes count.
Moving on to the second concern...there were a number of folks in line saying they didn't vote in the 2016 election because the choice was between two "such horrible people"; We can see the influence the media still holds with this false equivalency. Even if you judge Trump as a bad person (and there is some valid argument for doing that), in no way could he...or the Devil himself...match the known evil of Hillary Clinton. In any case, I do think that there was some anti-Trump sentiment in this group that did not vote in 16, and that they considered this election a referendum on that point.
These two concerns come together in the American tendency not only to avoid politics, but to want a divided government. Americans like gridlock in the things they can see ( control of senate/ house/ prez), while not taking the time to consider the things they can't see (deep state, media lies, Chinese influence etc). Every single president has lost control of the House in the first midterms. To me, it doesn't matter that Trump lost less seats than the others...it matters that he lost the House. I'll get into this in Consequences
I don't know if Trump voters did not come out for this election; I haven't looked at any of those numbers yet. If you know, then let me know.
The fact that the democong lost Senate seats, and that the repukes lost House seats was a predicated given, due to the number of vulnerable seats for each party this cycle.
yes, they ARE this stupidIt seems like healthcare was a big issue for those that voted Democrat. You can thank all those gope garbage for blocking reform here, and you can blame the voters that didnt realize it was the democong that broke the system (well, made it much worsr)...and voted for them again!
Consequences
Let's start you off with a happy shiny one: We shitcanned a LOT of Nevertrump (NeverAmerica) gope trash this election. McStain, Flake, Corker, and 40+ bought off weaklings in the House. So losing the House wan't ALL bad...
...Just 99% bad...
This is why losing the House was a major loss...democrats will continue to block the investigation into FBI corruption and a blatant coup attemptactually, I don't know how that shakes out in the future; cleaning out 1/5 of the House of backstabbing quislings MAY be a damn good thing come 2020...we shall see. For the here and now, though, it is really bad.
Time for more happy-dancing...
Sleepy Sessionzzz is GONE
good work against pedos and MS13; open sabotage against prosecuting Deep State treason
"What made him a bad AG? He was one of the good guys in the Senate."
He was a decent AG, the problem was that he wasn't the AG we need now. In normal times he'd be wonderful.
But we have a DOJ that is riddled with traitors and leftists appointed over the decades who are now in power and are using their position to protect political allies and destroy political enemies. For them, the job is about social justice, not actual justice.
Sessions ignored leaks, did nothing about DOJ employees openly defying the president's orders, did nothing about abuse of power, did nothing to deal with the clear violations of procedure and rules by people handling the Clinton email server case, did nothing to punish people for defying congressional oversight orders to turn over paperwork, did nothing to deal with DOJ employees using redaction powers to simply cover up things that made them look bad, biased, or incompetent, on and on.
Sessions is headed to a new position as AG of Silver Oaks Assisted Living

busloads of Muslims committing 'voter fraud' in MinnesotaDon't forget Arizona, and Georgia!
What can YOU do re: this fraud right now?
Stop The Democrat recount fraud!
There is also a campaign going to set up some anti-fraud marches...I'll have more as I get more.
Conclusion
A lot of moving pieces now; the democong are going to pull out all stops in a bid for power, and the fact that so many people are STILL ignorant about politics means that this is going to get very ugly, or we will see a quiet surrender by Trump and the GOP.
There is ALWAYS the possibility this is all a show to drum up support for a dictatorship by Trump, but I don't see how exciting the lunatic left does anything but sets us on a path to civil war.
These assholes should have been nacht und nebled a long time ago, but the point is that YOU need to decide how you are going to respond to whatver happens in these next few days.

We are still going by InformationWar here on steemit as we can't change the name(nor would I want to!).
The Youtube I called it Decentralized News so they don't ban us for sounding similar to InfoWars. The website is decentralizedtruth.com because I liked the sound of that. :)
InformationWar = everything happening on steemit
Reddit = The_IW because of the similar name to The_Donald and people are more receptive to it because of that.
Website = Decentralizedtruth.com
Youtube = Decentralized News because that is the "show", The Decentralized News.
From what I understand when you have things that have the same name it can clog things up for search results, having different named things I think gives a better chance when you do all the link to link stuff(linkbacks i think they are called?)
We should talk more in voice chat sometime or do a podcast, been awhile!

Nice some of the gerrymandering was done with some of these peoples minds. What are they teaching in schools, has it gone down hill this much?

abolish gerrymandering.
there's an app for that.
Use a program to equally a portion each state into grids with each portion having the same population.
Elementary.

small groups allow for better social control...the eskimos had a word for a guy that somebody would push off the ice when no one is looking LOL
I don't know, but my gut says that small groups arent conducive to scientific advancement...ALTHOUGH with decentralization of communications, knowledge should be able to be shared across nodes effectively
my other thought is that small groups arent quick enough to respond to the pyscho that does con large amounts of cults into following them.
either way, it comes down to a dominant culture
