Are you paying attention yet?
This is banana republic stuff. Pure political persecution of the opposition

All true!
Mocking conservative voting is a SURE way to lose.
You aren't going to be able to shoot your way out of this.
Better start thinking about electioneering, meaning:
Secure the voting process, every chance we get,
Choose candidates more carefully,
Do the hard work and win by WAY more than the volume of fraud,
Hold elected officials accountable,
Deliver on what is promised,
Repeat.
Our responsibilities in this emergency situation described are FAR greater than just showing up every 2 or 4 years and pulling the lever. ("Vote harder"??)
Plan B, described as guns, ammo, training, location and beans, is never fully defined and has some problems with it. 1. If you shoot first you are going to prison. 2. If you wait for them to come to you, you are (also) sure to lose. (Sure to lose seems to keep coming up.)
Please name the wars won by surrender and retreat.
If you (we all) retreat to the reddest county of the reddest state (oops, how did they get red, by voting?) you (we) will soon be landlocked - like Ukraine after they lose Odessa. Then where is your port? Where is your pipeline? Where is your standard of living? Where is your freedom - to travel for example? Are you going to make your own solar panels and wind turbines? They wear out, you know. Going to make your own food without interference from the expanded, enlarged and corrupted federal government you left to the tyrannists? Good luck with that.
Before you retreat, read Wickard v. Filburn where they banned you from growing your own wheat to feed your own animals. Yes they made a FEDERAL case of it and the tyrannists won, and they enforced it (and they kept winning).

How about that, we have more constitutional conservatives on the US Supreme Court in 2022 than they did in 1930s and 1940s. How can that be? Because SOMEBODY did the hard work of winning elections, across a majority of the fruited plain, for an extended period. Yes there was vote fraud over that time, cf. Al Franken, and losses cf. Obama, and there were conservatives in label only who shirked, cf. John McCain et al. Does that mean give up? What war or battle on this scale did not have setbacks, big ones?
If history repeats itself, what year are we in? With inflation, gas prices and you can't buy a house as indicators, the economy is a bit like the late 1970s. However the conservative movement is in FAR better shape now than it was then, when Democrats controlled ALL levers of government and Republicans had no chance of taking back the House, Senate or Supreme Court from their super-majorities, and we nominated an actor to go up against an incumbent President. Democrats controlled 99% of newspapers and 100% of network news then, a bit like now, except now no one watches network news or gets a newspaper. Now there are ways around that. All we had then was one man looking into the camera and telling it like it is, ("I paid for this microphone") and we overcame some of it - for a period.
My point is, this is a long war. It is STUPID (counter-productive, understatement) to give up now, even if Democrats are getting away with crimes and Republicans are being persecuted. ESPECIALLY if Democrats are getting away with crimes and Republicans are being persecuted.
It is time to rise up, offer a better vision, get it out there and reach EVERYONE. Win (repeatedly) by landslides and deliver on freedom, prosperity and promises.
What is the alternative, in detail, not a bumper sticker?
