What do we do? Fellow conservatives and classic liberals alike, much like many of you, I am deeply disturbed by the events that occurred early Wednesday morning and appear to continue to occur to this very hour. Although there is no proof beyond all reasonable doubt that the elections in several key battleground states have been stolen, there is certainly some pretty compelling evidence of foul play at work. Like many of you, I went from watching Trump be well ahead in the states of Wisconsin and Michigan to suddenly and inexplicably being behind after the poll counters decided to “take a break.”
Much like Bill expressed in the Right Angle Backstage Members Only Video this morning, this decision to temporarily “stop” counting the votes is not only unprecedented, but does not make sense when there are larger states that had no such issues getting their votes counted. From a common sense standpoint, foul play was clearly at work during the late hours of Tuesday evening and the early hours of Wednesday morning. And as anticipated, our fair and impartial news media is of the mindset that there is nothing to see here and that we should pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
As much as I appreciate Scott’s optimism and mastery of the devil’s advocate, the reality is that with every passing hour, we are hearing more and more stories of irregularities with how the votes were counted, irregularities with how votes were invalidated, decisions by post-offices to post-date mailed in votes after November 3 and even GOP poll watchers attacked and driven away from being able to monitor the process. For anyone hopeful about the future of our republic, these stories should give one pause. For if the implications of these stories are true and Joe Biden manages to win the 2020 presidential election, we have reached a point in American history where our vote does not matter. We have reached a point in American history where the government’s authority is no longer actually dependent upon the consent of the governed. We have reached a point in American history where we are taxed by a government entity that does not actually represent us. Think about it: If our leaders can now exist regardless of our input, how are we any different from the colonists before they ultimately asserted their independence from Great Britain?
Make no mistake: I have no desire to go down the road the colonists did. There is not a single fiber of my being that is currently inclined to make that decision. I’ll support any peaceful remedy we have if what appeared to happen on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning truly happened.
Nevertheless, the question remains: If all else fails, Joe Biden secures the presidency and we have truly reached a point in American history where our sole means of enforcing our social compact has evaporated into thin air, what do we do? What do we do? What do we do . . .

The left has already started the war. It actually started long ago, perhaps as far back as the 1890s with the beginning of the Progressive Era. Though it hasn’t yet reached the point where the bullets will fly, this war is definitely under way.
I won’t be the one to fire the first shot but, unless that first shot kills me, I’ll gladly be the one to fire the last shot.
I suspect bullets will be flying if this matter goes up to the Supreme Court and they invalidate the late mail in ballots. And to be perfectly honest, if that happens, like you I will happily return fire from any rioters.
