:As feedback, I think the Supreme Court Justices are not populist enough in a populist year.  Also, many of their rulings in favor of the [[Deep State]] and even deferring to the Fulton County prosecutor(!!) were harmful.  Sen. [[Ron Johnson]] deserves more credit than he gets, and he hit all the right notes all year long.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 15:29, December 22, 2022 (EST)

::[EC] [EC] Whew, I'm very glad to hear that you're open to hearing my full honest thoughts, since you and I may have some strong differences in approaching the best way of advancing conservative values, especially whether populist appeals are compatible with conservatism itself (though ultimately, can strongly concur on the importance of preserving and advancing authentic conservative virtues).

::Meloni is unfortunately entangled with controversies over neofascism, and given her questionable history and unclear alleged repudiation of past terrible statements (please do correct me if her more recent assertions are contrary to my summary), it's better to take her credentials with a grain of salt for the time being.

:::Comment on DC political prisoners: there has been enough reporting on this to substantiate that virtually all were Capitol tourists, with a few being framed up on bogus charges because of their affiliation with a patriotic veterans group (in fact, there may have been racist motivations behind the prosecution of a black Cuban,  [[Proud_Boys|Enrique Tarrio]], who [[Twitter#Racist_administrators|we documented being banned]] by [[Twitter]]/[[FBI]] a few years ago when he was running for Congress.) The few "violent criminals" as alleged, such as the alleged "Qanon Shaman" who really is an environmental activist, have been prosecuted already.  The remainder sing the National Anthem nightly and this is an opportunity to remind the world they have not been forgotten.

::The convoy protest crowd? I'm going to say no. I'm personally inclined to contend that, while the majority of it was peaceful and grounded in a reasonable reaction against Trudeau parafascism, there were nonetheless fringe extremists that had too much of a presence in the crowd and I'm not fully sure how much they were fully repudiated on the spot by the majority of presumed everyday, decent people.

{{cquote|Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.|||2 Thessalonians 2:1–7}}

::Kari Lake? She's following the hardline Trumpist style of stubborn, paramilitant (if not arguably militant), pararevolutionary, and ultrapopulist promulgation of blabbering blatherskite <small>(yes, this term is a reference to a cartoon series)</small>. Maybe she's not nearly as bad-faith and fringe especially in comparison to party compatriots of the same populist stripe (the neo-Marxist left-wing efforts to tie her to "neo-Nazis" seems absolutely pathetic), and I personally don't care to object to her that much, though don't see much merit for her gaining even the runner-up, since she a) lost a race that could've been won on a more pragmatically-focused campaign, and b) almost seems to be following a Stacey Abrams–path of election trutherism, IMO. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|^{(Exodus 23:2)}]]''''' Thursday, 16:04, December 22, 2022 (EST)
