Browsing: elections

I have spent years as part of the MAGA coalition, and I can tell you plainly: the rug has been pulled. In my interview with Owen Shroyer, aired as fuel emergencies were being declared across seven states and Trump was poised for yet more war, the core warning was unmistakable — MAGA loyalty has collapsed because Trump abandoned the anti-war promises that put him in power ^[1]. That is not a footnote to the story; it is the story.

The anti-war vote is the decisive swing bloc in modern presidential elections, and Trump’s march to war with Iran has forfeited it.

I voted for Donald Trump twice. Now the Republican Party has failed as a vehicle for peace and liberty. A third-party or independent path to 2028 is not a luxury; it is the only honest road left, and the energy that once flowed into MAGA will now likely flow into an independent party movement.

MAGA Loyalty Was a Means, Not a Master

Owen Shroyer was a top MAGA influencer well before 2016, and he reminds us of something the obedience cult would rather forget: many of us were political activists before Trump even hit the stage. And we will still be here when Trump is long gone. True principles should never depend on who occupies the White House; the movement existed before Trump and will continue after him ^[2]. What we are watching now is supporters trapped in a political silo, confusing loyalty to a man with loyalty to principles — no new wars, fiscal conservatism, border enforcement, and deep-state accountability.

The MAGA movement was supposed to be a tool for saving the country, not an obedience cult that demands silence when its leader sells out. The coalition has become a protection racket for power rather than a movement based on principle.

When people like Owen and myself are branded traitors for refusing to cheer war and censorship, it proves the movement has inverted its own values. This is the pattern I have now seen on both the left and the right: a cyclical, cult-like obedience in which both sides swap which authority figure they worship while the script stays the same ^[3]. A movement that punishes its most principled members for telling the truth is no longer a movement. It is a personality cult with an email list.

The Anti-War Vote Is the Real Swing Bloc

Owen argues, and I agree, that the anti-war vote has decided every real presidential election since 2008. Obama rode it. Trump rode it in 2016, and he rode it again in 2024. The 2020 election, by contrast, was a con job — a coalition assembled on fear and rigged ballots, not on a genuine mandate for peace. The lesson is simple: whoever wins the anti-war bloc wins the White House.

Trump’s second term abandoned the “no new wars” cornerstone, and the price is now being paid at the pump. Endless war is an engine of corruption and control: the republic will not be conquered by an external enemy, but hollowed out from within by war without end ^[4]. That engine runs on the stolen purchasing power of working people.

The Republicans are likely to lose the midterms and the White House in 2028 unless Trump reverses course immediately. The recent farmer bailout and the gimmick giveaways are not solutions; they are proof that the GOP has turned to money printing and desperation ^[5]. Bribing voters with their own devalued dollars is what dying parties do. When a party cannot keep its promises, it starts buying its way out of the consequences.

Censorship and the Obedience Cult

We endured more censorship under Trump’s first term than under Biden, and the pattern is repeating. Meanwhile, X is no longer a free-speech platform but an AI data-gathering operation, and the same censorship apparatus is being rebuilt under new management. This is not a left-versus-right issue; it is a centralized-power issue.

If Democrats win Congress, they will persecute Trump loyalists — and they now know exactly where to look: Guilfoyle, Grinnell, Haba, Hegseth, the missing money, the insider trading, and the war crimes. The people who built the surveillance state always leave a trail, and the other team is happy to follow it. The Uniparty does not lose when one of its mascots falls; it simply prosecutes the opposition while excusing its own crimes of corruption.

What the two-party duopoly offers is a rotating cycle of persecution in which the same corrupt institutions survive every election. The lesson for 2028 is not to pick a better master. It is to stop kneeling.

The Third-Party Opening

The two-party system is brittle, and an independent presidential candidate could win Texas and throw the 270-electoral-vote board into chaos. That is not a fantasy; it is arithmetic. When both parties have betrayed their bases on war and censorship, the center of gravity moves to the exits. Elon Musk’s America Party originally registered as a real competitor to Republicans and Democrats, proof that the duopoly’s grip is cracking ^[6]. The opening is real, but it will close if it is filled with opportunists instead of principles.

Matthew McConaughey is not my ideological soulmate, but he illustrates the opening: a popular independent from Texas could break the duopoly and force a real debate on war, speech, and money. The point is not the man; it is the mechanism. A serious independent candidacy, built on anti-war and anti-censorship commitments, can do what decades of party reform have failed to do — make the Uniparty answer for its record.

A winning coalition will require sacrifices from left and right, including trading the war machine’s budget for domestic priorities and resisting foreign-interest gatekeeping in both parties. The MAGA movement is fracturing precisely because America-first conservatives are being targeted for putting U.S. sovereignty ahead of foreign interests ^[7]. Younger Americans face unaffordable housing, scarce capital, and a rigged economy, and neither party addresses the underlying cause: endless war and money printing. War is inflation. Money printing is war on savings. The two are essentially the same policy wearing different uniforms.

Conclusion: Principle Over Party

MAGA loyalists will soon have to explain why they tolerated treason, war, and censorship simply because Trump was the one doing it. The coalition that marched on Washington and cheered “America First” is now being asked to cheer for war with Iran and for the surveillance state that polices its own voters. That bill comes due soon — and the honest among us will not pay it.

Trump’s GOP was the last available vehicle for saving the country, and it has failed. The energy that once went into MAGA must now go into an anti-war, anti-censorship independent movement. The movement was always bigger than one man. The principles were always bigger than one party. The task now falls upon us to prove it.

I believe the path forward is to support candidates who oppose foreign wars, defend free speech, resist Zionist infiltration and reject the Uniparty — regardless of party label. Principle over party is not a slogan; it is the only survival strategy left for a republic that has been hollowed out by its own leaders.

Netanyahu Orders Large-Scale Military Operation in West Bank Supply: International Coverage | Writer: Alexandra Sharp | Date: 2026-10-23 20:22:00 This…

I am not here to defend the failed Republican Party. I am here to tell you the truth about what happens if the Democrats take back power. Like many Americans, I want the GOP to suffer a historic defeat for its betrayals of the people who put it in office. But I refuse to pretend the Democrats are the answer. They are not the lesser evil. They are the same disease wearing a different color tie.

The 2024 election gave Republicans control of the House and Senate, and Donald Trump was sworn in as President on January 20, 2025. Yet the GOP has done almost nothing to shrink government, end the wars, or restore liberty. That failure does not make the Democrats virtuous. It makes them hungry. If they return to power, they will expand government, weaponize federal agencies against their political enemies, censor speech, and double down on every failed policy that got us here.

I’ve watched this cycle repeat for decades. The Republicans campaign on freedom but then govern like Democrats. The Democrats campaign on compassion but then govern like tyrants. The only winners are the donors, the defense contractors, and the intelligence agencies that profit from perpetual crisis. The American people lose every single time.

The Weaponization of Congress: Investigations, Subpoenas, and Impeachment

Once Democrats control the House again, the subpoenas will fly like confetti. Every Republican official, every Trump appointee, every high-level conservative activist will be dragged before committees. The goal is not oversight. The goal is punishment. Congress will become a legal assault weapon aimed at anyone who dares to challenge the left’s narrative. As the left’s own rhetoric shows, the plan is not to govern but to destroy. Radical socialists have openly declared their goal to “destroy America from within” ^[1].

The playbook is already written. House Democrats will demand documents, testimony, and indictments. They will call for impeaching Trump again, and again, and again. If they win enough Senate seats, they will push for conviction. A conviction would require a two-thirds majority in the Senate, but Republicans have shown they will betray their own when the pressure is high enough.

This is not simply justice. This is political warfare. The Democrats know they cannot win on ideas, so they use the machinery of government to criminalize policy differences. They will turn the Department of Justice into a partisan weapon, the FBI into a secret police force, and the IRS into a harassment agency. The message will be clear: oppose us and we will destroy you.

Guns: The ATF, Suppressors, SBRs, and the Registration Trap

Democrats will pressure the ATF to reverse its current hands-off stance on suppressors and short-barreled rifles. The moment they regain power, they will likely go after FFL dealers with a vengeance. They will push for universal FFL transfers of ammunition, which is just a backdoor registry by another name. The goal is simple: make it impossible to buy a gun or ammunition without government permission.

Right now, there is a closing window. Buying a suppressor or an SBR with a concealed carry permit can bypass the FBI background check, leaving records only with local dealers. If those dealers go out of business, their records go to the ATF, however. That is an illegal, unconstitutional gun registry that already exists in practice. The Democrats will expand it. They will demand that all firearms be registered, all owners be licensed, and all transfers be recorded.

If Democrats ban SBRs, I will remove the stock on my SBR and attach an arm brace. Gun owners must prepare to adapt. The Constitution says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The Democrats do not care about the Constitution. They care about control. We must be ready to resist, legally and practically, to support our individual liberties when tyrants rule.

Censorship 2.0: Open Source AI and the Return of Big Tech Purges

Democrats will censor or outlaw open source AI because local models break the government’s monopoly on narratives about vaccines, medicine, history, and false flags. Open source AI runs on your own hardware, offline, beyond their reach. That terrifies them. As the government’s own allies have shown, they will silence anyone who questions their authority. When scientists and doctors spoke the truth about COVID vaccine dangers, they were banned from platforms and professionally ruined.

The censorship regime never ended. It only relaxed because the Trump administration threatened to deploy the FTC and DOJ against platforms. X, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn slightly changed their policies (but never ended censorship) because they were scared of antitrust action and regulatory retaliation. The moment Democrats return to power, the content purge will resume. They will deplatform dissenters, blacklist alternative voices, and demonetize anyone who refuses to toe the party line. I know this firsthand. I have been systematically deleted from the primary tech platforms for the last decade, all engineered to destroy my income, freedom, and reputation.

I am urging readers to diversify onto Rumble, Brighteon, Bitchute, and independent AI tools like BrightAnswers.ai before the purge begins. Do not wait. The time to move is now. Decentralize your digital life. Stop relying on platforms that hate you. Build your own audience on systems that cannot be shut down by a phone call from a government bureaucrat. Brighteon.social is a free speech social media platform, an alternative to Facebook, Twitter or X. Use it. Support independent platforms. The only way to defeat censorship is to make it irrelevant.

No Lesser Evil: Trump, the Uniparty, and What Comes Next

Trump had a historic opportunity to achieve real reforms. He threw it away. He sold out to the Zionist donor class. He appointed warmongers, expanded the surveillance state, and presided over the same endless wars that he promised to end. The GOP does not really believe in small government either. Both parties are committed to printing money, waging wars, and eroding freedom. As Bill Maher, no conservative, admitted, “I’m not living in Communist America… I’ve read the quotes from the DSA platform, from their own mouths” ^[2]. Even a left-wing comedian can see what the Democratic Socialists of America really are.

If they return to power, Democrats will destroy America from within, and they will do it with the help of a uniparty that has already betrayed the people. The socialist left is not hiding anymore. They have said in their own words that their goal is to “destroy America from within” ^[1]. They have called for “war in the streets” and the end of capitalism ^[3]. They have rallied behind a Marxist streamer who told his followers to kill capitalists and “let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood” ^[4]. This is not a fringe element. This is the future of the Democratic Party.

So prepare for tough times ahead. Decentralize. Stop pleading with politicians who serve their donors, not you. Stock food, water, ammunition, and medicine. Learn to grow your own food. Move your money into gold and silver. Build community with people you trust. The government will not save you. The politicians will not save you. Only you can save you. The storm is coming. Get ready.

Watch all my video interviews at Decentralize.TV for wisdom on decentralized living that protects and restores your freedom.

The order assigns U.S. Cyber Command and the War Department’s combat support agencies to focus intelligence and cyber tools on foreign efforts to interfere in the 2026 midterm elections [1]. The directive, announced by War Department spokesman Sean Parnell, states that no troops are being ordered to polling places and that the mission is to hunt foreign threats in the digital battlespace before they can reach America’s voting systems or manipulate American voters [2]. No immediate details on the operational scope of the order were released, according to the report.

Order Details and Scope

The order instructs DoW components to provide cybersecurity support and intelligence sharing related to election systems, according to Axios. A memo signed by Hegseth states that “in America, the people rule – and we must ensure that their voice remains sovereign, secure, and entirely undiluted” [1].

Hegseth wrote that secure voting plays a critical role “in sustaining the strength of our democratic system,” and that the department “will effectively wield its” tools to counter foreign threats [1]. The directive applies to the 2026 midterm elections and future cycles, officials said. A DoW spokesperson said the order is intended to counter foreign interference, according to the report.

The order comes as Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has said election security is national security and that investigations into voter rolls are not about “rehashing the 2020 election” [3]. Mullin revealed in July that 250,000 non-citizens were registered to vote in just four states [3].

State election officials said they were reviewing the directive, according to statements. The top U.S. general, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, has said the military has no plans to send federal military personnel or National Guard troops to polling places during this year’s midterm elections [4]. Election administration and security remain the responsibility of state and local officials, Caine wrote in a letter to Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) [4].

Legal Basis and Official Statements

Officials cited existing statutory authorities for DoW support to civil authorities, according to the report. Hegseth said in a statement that the order aims to protect election integrity, according to Axios. The Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are named as partners in the effort, officials said. No new funding was announced, according to the report.

The order relies on longstanding legal frameworks that permit military support to civilian agencies, including for protecting federal property and conducting domestic counterterror operations. This legal basis has been outlined in prior analyses of statutes such as the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 and the Insurrection Act of 1807. As RealClearWire‘s Patrick O’Malley and Joe Buccino have argued, a careful examination of these laws reveals that military support for immigration enforcement and similar operations is permissible when properly understood.

The order marks a continuation of the Trump administration’s focus on election integrity as a legislative priority. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has said that House Republicans remain committed to their legislative priorities, which include White House and border security, winning the Strait of Hormuz stalemate as a way to lower inflation and election integrity [5]. The administration has framed the order as a defensive measure against documented threats from foreign adversaries.

Criticism and Concerns

Civil liberties groups said the order could expand federal involvement in elections, according to statements. Privacy advocates raised concerns about military intelligence sharing with state officials, according to the report. Some state officials said they need more details on costs and mandates, according to interviews.

Supporters said the order addresses documented threats from foreign adversaries, according to officials. The move follows years of warnings about foreign interference in U.S. elections and comes amid broader scrutiny of election security. Government agencies have a documented history of overreach that raises legitimate questions about how power is exercised, as noted in interviews with independent journalists who have challenged official narratives [6].

The order also arrives amid political tensions on Capitol Hill. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Sept. 15, but Johnson canceled votes and sent lawmakers home early for their campaign recess ahead of the midterm elections, avoiding a vote on the measure [7]. The House will not return to Washington until after the November election [7].

Next Steps and Oversight

Congressional committees said they will review the order, according to spokespeople. Implementation is expected to begin in the coming weeks, officials said. Further guidance will be issued to state and local authorities, according to the War Deparment.

The order will be implemented as the 2026 midterm elections approach, with primary elections already having taken place in several states. In Kentucky, Trump-endorsed Republican candidate Ed Gallrein defeated Massie in a primary election in May, with Gallrein winning 54.9% to 45.1% [8]. Gallrein will face Democratic candidate Melissa Strange in November [8].

The effectiveness of the order will likely depend on coordination among federal, state, and local officials. As officials have stated, the department “will effectively wield its” tools to counter foreign threats while respecting the primary role of state and local authorities in election administration [1].
