"Many in the conservative movement use the threadbare tactic of writing five-thousand-word essays complaining about having been bested once again by the Left. Yes, I do get the irony of complaining about this in an introduction to a book that is more than four times that length, but what 4D Warfare offers is an effective alternative to these long-failed tactics and strategies. It is a new way of waging the culture wars—and winning! President Donald Trump is a master of 4D warfare and I would be remiss were I to exclude him from this discussion. Through pugnacious public statements and Twitter posts alone, he generates news cycles, reshapes narratives, and masterfully transforms the attacks on him into tactical and strategic victories. There is no better example of successful 4D warfare than the election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States in 2016. One individual stood up to the combined forces of two political parties, the mainstream media, and the global establishment, and won against the odds. He never could have accomplished this without his deep inherent understanding of 4D warfare. In this book I will discuss 4DW tactics that have been employed by the Left and by the Right in the culture war. We’ll analyze those that have been successful and review those that have failed. I will show you what to do if you find yourself facing these tactics and I will show you how to make use of them yourself."
 
My son is 14 and an actor. He has agents in OKC, Dallas, NYC and LA. In order to work in CA he has to have a work permit which is renewed every year. This year they are making everyone take an hour long course in harassment. There was no way I was letting him watch this BS so my wife and I walked through it instead. Essentially, the state is telling everyone from where they should get their identity. It literally says that you aren’t born with your gender; you choose it. And it gets worse from there. Here are some screenshots of the video. In what world is it okay for a state, in what is supposed to be a free country, to dictate to its population where they should get their identity from? Ours come from our Lord and Savior Jesus. I’ll stand with him.

This is highly disturbing.

What are we doing to our society?
 
The SCOTUS judges are fucking cowards and traitors. And I mean every one, including Thomas/Alito/Gorsuch. Go read the actual dissents in the PA case. Both dissents decided to focus on only ONE change that was made by the PA SOS/Supreme Court illegally, which was extending the deadline, saying there weren’t enough late ballots to overturn the election and made SURE to emphasize that multiple times. They COMPLETELY IGNORED the other changes that actually did impact a significant number of ballots, including throwing out signature verification and other requirements for filling out the ballots, the use of unmanned drop boxes, and “curing” defective ballots before Election Day. Why would they ignore all of those other significant and equally illegal changes? Hmmm, I wonder.

And please don’t give me that bullshit about courts not being the right avenue for challenging an election. Elections are conducted according to laws, and legal disputes are settled by courts. If courts can’t review elections for integrity and rule they were conducted illegally then there is nothing to stop anyone from cheating their asses off. There were unconstitutional actions, and SCOTUS is the end all be all for deciding that. Courts don’t decide elections? That’s ridiculous, Judges rule all the time on who wins elections in disputes and its already happened multiple times in lower races including Congressional races in 2020. It’s also bullshit that there’s some arbitrary deadline for deciding the presidential race, and Thomas actually did call this out. So what, were supposed to just accept a stolen election because the corruption of the people running the elections is so great that they purposefully block every attempt to uncover the fraud and it takes more than a few weeks to prove it?

it’s pure and utter insanity that this is what we’ve come to. There really is no part of our government that isn’t irredeemably corrupt. I can’t stand the thought of what comes next as this is a green light for leftists to do whatever the fuck they want.

Dissent by Justice Thomas in election case draws fire for revisiting baseless Trump fraud claims​

WASHINGTON – A blistering dissent in a high-profile election case written by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas prompted blowback Monday from Democrats who accused one of the court's most conservative members of embracing baseless claims of voter fraud promoted by President Donald Trump after the November election.
In an 11-page dissent from the court's decision not to take up a challenge to the expanded use of mail ballots in Pennsylvania, Thomas acknowledged that the outcome of the election was not changed by the way votes were cast in the battleground state. But he raised questions about the reliability of mail-in voting that echoed many of the same arguments Trump raised in the weeks before and after the election.

The dissent followed the court's decision Monday to turn away a challenge to accommodations the Pennsylvania state Supreme Court made for mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic. The state, one of a handful of tossups that ultimately led to the election of President Joe Biden, allowed absentee ballots to be received up to three days after Election Day, even in cases where those ballots did not have a clear Nov. 3 postmark.

In the end, despite the partisan rancor over the issue and a bevy of lawsuits, there were too few ballots at issue to make a difference in the outcome in the Keystone State. But Thomas and two other conservative justices, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, said the legal questions should have been taken up by the high court to guide future elections.
"That decision to rewrite the rules seems to have affected too few ballots to change the outcome," Thomas wrote. "But that may well not be the case in the future."

But much of the pushback against Thomas was focused on another argument of his dissent in which he appeared to cast doubt on the reliability of mail-in ballots more broadly. Thomas pointed specifically to a case of fraud from the 1990s in a state Senate election in Philadelphia. In a footnote, he asserted that "an election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence."
"Also important is the assurance that fraud will not go undetected," he wrote.
Critics said Thomas' argument played into an idea espoused by Trump and others that fraud could have existed, even though the former president did not ever prove it. Groups such as the Brennan Center for Justice have found voter fraud is exceedingly rare.
"None of us should be shocked that Justice Thomas would write an out of touch, radical & unhinged opinion," the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Jaime Harrison, tweeted. "He and his wife showed us who they were a very long time ago."
Harrison's response was in part a reference to a report this month that Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist and the justice's wife, apologized to her husband’s former law clerks for posting a series of messages supporting Trump's claims of fraud. Thomas has declined to comment on his wife's apology or her earlier pro-Trump statements.

Trump's weekslong assault on the election results, which came without evidence of problems on a scale that could have changed the result, culminated in a riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in which a mob of the president's supporters disrupted the counting of Electoral College votes. The riot resulted in five deaths and a second Trump impeachment.

"You don’t have to be a prosecutor to understand how ludicrous Justice Thomas’ dissent is," tweeted Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., noting a conspiracy theory raised by some of Trump's attorneys that Venezuelan socialists hand a hand in helping Biden win.
"Fraud requires a perpetrator; that’s why Trump folks came up with Hugo Chavez," Lieu said. "Otherwise you’re saying over 7 million uncoordinated voters figured out how to commit voter fraud undetected."
Thomas, nominated by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, argued in his dissent that the questions raised in Pennsylvania should have been heard by the Supreme Court because they could come up again in future elections. Republicans say the extension for receiving mail-in ballots was never approved by the state legislature and was allowed by courts that relied on a vague provision of state law requiring elections to be "free and equal."
An evenly divided Supreme Court allowed the deadline extension to stand in October. At the time, the court still had a vacancy following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The tie meant the state court decision stood. Republicans returned to the court again days later – this time after Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump nominee had been confirmed. But Barrett did not take part in the review, and the court denied a motion to expedite the case, noting that the election was at that point only days away.
wait a minute. I thought the state legislatures in PA said there were 200k more ballots than registered voters? Is this not true? That seems pretty black and white, and would be contrary to the "baseless" tagline..
