@indygrl Dem psy ops

So guys…. What happens if we all come together and decide to not vote?

A noticeable chunk of right-wing “influencers” have started telling their audiences not to vote. They’re wrapping it in “both sides suck,” “the system is too rigged,” “Trump didn’t deliver fast enough,” or some other bullshit.

Democrats are not doing this. They’re acting like losing Congress is an existential threat to their very existence.

That contrast should tell you everything.

When one side is screaming “vote or we all die” and the other side’s online personalities are telling their “own people” to sit it out, something is off.

These are the same voices who built massive followings before Trump took office again. They got the trust of millions by sounding like they were on the team. Then, when it actually matters, they flip and push the one action that reliably helps the other side: non-participation.

I call them the 80/20 crowd—the ones who capture attention, shape the conversation, and then quietly sabotage turnout when the stakes get real.

Some of them were planted. Others are worse: useful idiots.
“Useful idiots” are those who push someone else’s agenda without grasping they’re being used. During the Cold War it described Westerners who parroted communist talking points while thinking they were just being idealistic or anti-establishment.

Doesn’t that sound familiar?

They were convenient tools. And they rarely realized it. The same dynamic exists now.

Some of these influencers are so deep in their own content cycle, grudges, or audience capture that they’re doing the opposition’s work for free.

If you don’t vote, someone still wins. Your absence does not freeze the system or “send a message” that the other side respects. It just means their voters show up and yours did not. And that outcome benefits Democrats.

Even if you’re pissed at Trump or the GOP right now, they remain the better option than the alternative. That is not complicated.

Yes, election problems exist. Some places have been targeted for years—specific counties and cities where extra ballots appear, rules get bent, and mail-in systems are abused. These are concentrated weak points the other side has targeted over decades.

Trump has been pushing voter ID and tighter rules because those are the actual leverage points. That is why Democrat politicians are crying and saying trying is cheating. Trump is taking away their tools to cheat, one by one. And it’s fucking hilarious to watch.

Courts will not magically fixed everything, and every state and district still has its own entrenched problems. That does not make staying home the answer. It makes showing up more important, not less.

People are complaining about affordability right now. Go look at 1776. George Washington and the people fighting for independence were not living in cheap times. They were at war. Prices exploded. Paper money became nearly worthless—“not worth a Continental.”

But they did not throw in the towel because a barrel of salt cost a fortune or their families were going without. We are at war now too.

Don’t quit because gas is a little high or groceries sting. This is a war for the soul of this nation and for humanity.

The people telling you the whole thing is hopeless are not giving you a strategy for winning. They’re giving you an excuse that only one side is using.

The world does not pause because a group of influencers decided voting is beneath them this cycle.

One side will still show up.
If that side is not yours, they win the seats, the committees, the investigations, and the next two years of leverage.

You can dislike parts of the current presidency and still recognize that sitting out is the most predictable way to help the people who want the opposite of what you claim to want.

Do not let useful idiots talk you into handing them that gift. Vote.

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@Ananke_Nexus @JimHunt1464487 Worth every penny. You may want to get a dictionary. You’re using words you clearly don’t know the definition.

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@clete1212 @EvanAKilgore Yep. He should take a drive around

@jeffreym_nelson It’s a dem psy ops. Place a 1000 $5 bets change the odds.

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@NJBeisner Most don’t care

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@AttorneyKateLG Sounds like a weak case if you’re selling it on social media.

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@AngelaBelcamino Dem psy ops. People in OH say the opposite. Probably easy to place 1000 $5 bets to change the odds.

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@EricSpracklen Still a dem ops

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@ChrisMartzWX Stick with weather and climate. You seem very knowledgeable on those topics. Not so much on this.

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@SKDoubleDub33 Dem psy ops. They hijack real x users

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@Savsays Not according to the people in Ohio. Talked to several. Seems like a psy ops. Place 1000 $5 bets.

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@TRHLofficial It’s manipulation of a betting site

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@Shawn_Farash This seems like a psy ops. Could be the new cheap way to influence people. Set up a 1000 app accounts and place $5 bets each

[Jerry patton @PattonJerr73909]

@ksorbs This seems off. The people will speak in Nov.

@Inadvertantview @dubsndoo Many trips to Canada on business, many interactions with visiting Canadians in AZ. I always knew they looked down their noses a little at our brutish behavior, but never really knew how much deep seated resentment they have for us.
