Retired, tired, tried reddit.

A farmer, tired of rats destroying his crops and stealing his grain, came up with a clever but cruel plan. He threw a dead pig into a deep, abandoned well. Attracted by the smell, nearly 80 rats rushed into the well to feast on the carcass. At first, everything seemed wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone, and the rats ate until they were satisfied.

But when the food was gone, they discovered something terrifying. The walls of the well were too steep to climb. They were trapped. Days passed, and hunger turned into desperation. Desperation turned into aggression. The rats that had once eaten peacefully beside one another began fighting for survival. Eventually, they began killing and eating each other.

One by one, their numbers dwindled until only a single rat remained. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had survived by consuming its own kind. Then the farmer returned, lowered a rope into the well, and rescued the last surviving rat. But he didn't save it out of kindness or compassion.

The farmer knew the rat had learned to survive by hunting other rats. When he released it into his fields, it would continue killing its own kind instead of eating his grain. The farmer had turned his enemy into his greatest weapon.

And that is the lesson of divide and conquer. Those who control the trap don't need to fight the battles themselves. They simply create the conditions in which others turn against one another.

The rats believed their enemies were the other rats. They never realized that the true enemy was the farmer who had put them there.

The greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in front of you. Sometimes it's the one who created the conflict and stands quietly watching you destroy each other.

Before you turn against your neighbor because of their political beliefs, ask yourself who benefits from keeping Americans divided. While we fight each other over Republican and Democrat, we may be overlooking those who profit from the conflict. Perhaps the real question isn't which side you're on, but who built the well—and why they want us fighting at the bottom of it.

@MZHemingway ...and the laptop is Russian misinformation. We have 50 signatures of high ranking intelligent officials saying so. Now that's great investigative journalism. No wonder no one watches this arm of the left.

Leslie Stahl also said Trump had no proof they spied on his campaign.

Leslie Stahl is a moron who should have her credentials as a journalist revoked for lying…… yet here we are living with a media who BY LAW is allowed to lie to Americans to fit their narrative.

THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE!!

NY AG hopeful Komatireddy pulls within just 6 points of Dem incumbent Tish James after debate: bombshell poll https://t.co/FWOuBHGDyu

The GOP majority will be decided by the voters who fueled Trump 2024. This ad is clearly speaking to them.

Good message.

[TheLastRefuge @TheLastRefuge2]

The guy who weaponized the IRS, FBI, CIA and DOJ against his political opposition is decrying govt targeting!

Hey @BarackObama, we can see you!

[Brent Scher @BrentScher]

This awesome ad is running during college football games today, saw it during Notre Dame.

Clearly aimed at normal guys who may not pay too much attention to politics, but know Democrats are crazy.

[Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke]

Anyone who still doubts that lawfare will only get worse needs to listen to Elissa Slotkin. She sounds like a Soviet party apparatchik calmly explaining how she will use political prosecutions to terrorize political opponents and intimidate ordinary people away from participating in politics altogether. Except a Soviet apparatchik probably wouldn't have talked about it so openly. But Slotkin couldn't care less. The entire lawfare machine has become so emboldened by the total lack of accountability that they no longer bother hiding their plans.

.@ElissaSlotkin is considered a relatively "moderate" Democrat. If even she thinks that Democrats need to prosecute young people who work for Republicans so they will be scared to work for Republican politicians, what do Democrats think is still off limits? Apparently nothing.
U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan)

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 UPDATE: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is facing calls to resign after she publicly called for the persecution of Trump allies to intimidate young conservatives against participating

WHAT A DEEP STATE CROOK!

She dreams of it: "I want young people to be like, lord, that may buy myself a ton of problems I don't want, so let me avoid participating. I want deterrence."

She's not talking about anyone accused of a crime. She's talking about kids fresh out of college deciding whether to take a job in a lawfully elected administration

Her plan is "signature cases" against "the people who enabled him," because, in her words, they "have no immunity the way the president does"

She wants teenagers to be scared of tyrants like her!

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

The plan: scare & harass conservatives from participating in politics and government. Run you out of the public square. And re-open the gates to unfettered, anti-Western mass migration. That’s their plan.

[🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 @mrddmia]

This is stunning a sitting U.S. senator is saying this out loud.

She is quite explicitly advocating for prosecutions to scare young people away from politics.

@ElissaSlotkin is truly a danger to democracy--a democracy she pretends she's protecting.

This is a fascist tactic.

[Rachel Bovard @rachelbovard]

Maybe we should just stop electing the CIA to the Senate.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

It’s a very short jump from here to reeducation camps, gulags, and mass graves.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Prosecute Republican leaders to scare conservatives out of running?

Sounds like the kind of tactic the CIA might use overseas.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 Senator Elisa Slotkin just spoke of her desire to terrorize young conservatives into adopting the right ideology to avoid persecution.

The woman who showed up in a silly ad that told servicemen to defend against "threats to the constitution" is now bragging about her appetite for lawfare and political repression.

Brilliant.

Slotkin is telling you what they are going to do: arrest Republicans and other Trump supporters.

Nearly a year ago, Slotkin tried to organized an insurrection.

Republicans still let her sit on the committees and she and her insurrection partners have not been arrested.

Holy shit
