It is never too late for positive thinking.

How many votes has the Deep State swayed in this election? Will any Deep State chieftain ever be prosecuted for their lies & other crimes? https://t.co/mu6QviIvp4

I took this photo of Trump supporters at a polling station a block away from where the alleged "road rage" took place today. Relieved that @mcpnews confirmed there was no"political motivation" 🙂 https://t.co/lumk2g7xhq pic.twitter.com/mcTN6KVuu1

Rather than “consent of the governed,” we have “Damned Rascal Democracy.” The system is rigged so presidents capture far more power than the Constitution allows. https://t.co/vTSEmOsKYW

Voting isn't what it used to be. This year, Krispy Kreme is offering a free donut to people who voted. In 2016, Madonna offered [redacted] for Hillary voters. https://t.co/9dSQk47LoK

Is faith in “American exceptionalism” blinding people to a death spiral of American democracy? There's no reason to expect either Trump or Biden to "make America constitutional again." https://t.co/vTSEmOsKYW

"It is naive to expect governments to descend step-by-step into barbarism—as if there is a train schedule to political hell with easy exits along the way." https://t.co/9TK94CIkn4

Even if the wisest, most virtuous citizen was elected president, our Leviathan would still be a nightmare for freedom. There is no magic wand that even a good president can wave over the entire federal government. https://t.co/7ugQ6QeTP7

Maybe my piece on the value of political cynicism will be outdated if the polling and ballot counting on Election Day proceeds without any glitches https://t.co/0aitOpHGmI

Politicians nowadays treat Americans like medical orderlies treat Alzheimer’s patients, telling them anything to keep them subdued. It doesn’t matter what untruths people are fed because they'll quickly forget. https://t.co/9TK94CIkn4

Having a vote does nothing to prevent a person from being molested by the TSA, spied on by the NSA, or harassed by the IRS. https://t.co/gu0ZrQ3glc
