y the hardest thing in the world to understand what needs to be done. And if you want to leave and you can't, that's something I would put some energy into. If it turns out there were a lot of people who just wanted to get out of their bad situation physically and just go anywhere, just anywhere that there's a real school, I would be behind throwing some energy and money beyond that. But no, I'm n…

Whatever they collectively decide in their state, I back the women. So I'm not backing Republicans or Democrats. I'm not backing pro-abortion or anti-abortion. I'm backing women, because this is an impossible decision and you need to at least make the people with the most skin in the game at least they should have to take a lead.
Now I'm not saying you should give up your vote. If you want to vote, go vote. You have that right. I'm just saying for me, I can't justify being persuasive in this domain. I want to be anti-persuasive on this and let women take the lead anyway. But if you're a woman, that would be one of the scariest things I could imagine. If I put myself in that position, which I'm not, if you told me somebody was going to take away one of my ways to manage my life, and I didn't think that a fetus was a human life, let's say, let's take that assumption, I'd be pretty scared.
So what is it that the Republicans have to offer fear-wise that would match, at least for the voters on the other side? Obviously the Republicans have Republican votes already. But if they want to influence the other side, what do they have? COVID lockdowns? Poverty is too slow-moving. Racism? No, that's what the racism is what the left is using. Zombie cities? I don't know. See, the trouble is the cities don't care about themselves enough. If the cities cared about themselves, they would have already fixed it. So it's hard for me to care about. I don't care about San Francisco honestly. You know, I live near it. It's like a major part of my whole life. But San Francisco wants to be what it is. The moment they decide not to be that, they'll change it. So it's not up to me to tell them that they can't walk in the feces when they go outside if they want to. And obviously this is hyperbole. They don't all want to. Yeah, I get that. But they're acting in the way that gives them one result. If you want to get a different result, act differently. But don't make it my problem. I'm happily living away from San Francisco. So work it out yourself.
So no, that doesn't give me any fear. I think that's just evolution. It's just change. So inflation, you know, if you look at what the Republicans like to push, they push inflation is bad. That's true. Nobody likes inflation. But it doesn't give you a visceral fear. It makes you feel bad, but you're not afraid it's going to come kill you. Climate change, people think is going to actually kill them. White supremacy, if you watch CNN or MSNBC, there's a whole bunch of people who think the white supremacists are arming up and they're coming for you or something. But that's not true. I mean, not at scale anyway.
So keep an eye on that. A really predictive feature is who has the better fear persuasion. And right now that's all Democrats. Big advantage.
There's another story that Kamala Harris tried to talk in public again. Summary: Didn't go well. Yeah, that's the whole story there. Yep. Kamala Harris trying to talk coherently in public didn't go well.
Here's more evidence that the Democrats are an organized crime party. So there's emails now that show that a U.S. attorney Weiss talked to the DOJ to thwart congressional questioning. That's the charge. But once again we have entities in the government, Democrats, who are talking to each other in a way that appears on the surface to be organized and coordinated for illegitimate purposes.
Now as I've said before, the Democrat Party has become an organized crime party, which is not to say that the individuals in it are worse than the individuals who are Republican or independent. So here now, I'm not talking about the voters. I'm talking about the leadership.
Here's what I think is a key difference, just observationally, between the Democrats, the party, and the Republican Party. See if this tracks with your observation. So this is not a science, just observation. It seems to me that when Republicans are pushing, which happens a lot, it's coming from citizens and sometimes boiling up until you'll see somebody in Congress, some of the more controversial ones, that will come out of their mouths. But basically everything from Pizzagate to you name it started with citizens who happen to be Republican. Maybe it was on Reddit or 4chan, and then it bubbles up and then maybe it comes out of somebody's mouth. Right?
But when the Democrats run stuff, it is very clearly organized by the leadership and then trickles down through the news to the rest of us. So one of them is a bottom-up party and the other is a top-down party. And it's very consistent.
So let me give you an example. On the Democrat side, you've got your Russia collusion hoax, coordinated across multiple entities. You've got your Hunter Biden laptop hoax, again coordinated in a sense. The media was in on it. The Democrats were in on it. The intel operations were in on it.

You've seen the prosecutions. So the prosecution depends on the organized nature of the crime on the Democrat side. If it were not an organized approach to take Trump down, what would the news have reported about his perfect phone call to find votes? If it were not an organized attempt, what would the news say if they were just describing it objectively? They would say people question elections a…
