Spitball by Pete D.
I listened to the Devolution Power Hour of August 2 with PP (Patel Patriot Jon Herold), BB (Burning Bright) and JH (Kyle Just Human). It was a great episode. I’m on board with Pence playing his role.
Luckily, I’m somewhat able to have time to dive into our movement and dig for information. And, thankfully, we have Badlands Media who do this for a living to create an environment where “we are now the news”.
My thoughts while listening to the three of them in the fore- mentioned DPH (Devotional Power Hour) is that a majority of MAGA people may not have the time in a day to do deep dives and spend hours every day researching.
…Thank God for Jon, JH, BB, Kate, Spitballers etc. for leading this information fight. I couldn’t do this without them.
I would like offer a thought to the passionate views and approach of some. Many MAGA today are very conscious of avoiding “group think” so people will try to maintain their own thoughts and “take” on things until some new piece of information allows them to change their mind. And this includes the topics of Pence and Barr and others.
Some/many folks may not recognize or understand Kayfabe or “playing a role” or to some who do “understand” it may look at it as trickery or being deceitful. These people should not be looked at as “bloviating” or having a “ridiculous mentality” if they don’t understand “the Pence situation.”
If you’re going to call out our MAGA compatriots as having this “ridiculous mentality” for not understanding Pence, I fear this may be looked at as the equivalent of being “deplorable” (although most of us feel that is a badge of honor).
I hope we don’t alienate/divide MAGA because some/many may not see or understand things the same. Continue to educate without dividing. I personally understand what BB and JH were trying to say because of their passion, but they do the deep dive every single day – many people can not – they rely on snippets or recaps from “we are now the news” during a typical day.
Just the thoughts from someone who has been a member of SB’s for two years now. Have a wonderful day everyone and keep up the fight! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you. Your time and energy spent to boil down and distribute the “essentials” is so, so helpful. I thank you from my whole heart.
Hmm. See, I don’t/didn’t see Pence as playing a role. And cannot keep up with the hours these Divers talk. Some shows over THREE HRS. So whatever the take on Pence is – I bet many of us missed it.
Hello Andrea,
I Thank-You for saying this, this way. I understand it a little more now. I am a leftover from the industrial era where skills meant more than the ability to find “information” which may or may not be useful. I usually say, “information without ability is moot”. It doesn’t matter is somebody is “X, Y, or Z” unless you can actually act on it. That being said, I do try to piece together the digested info passed along from people such as you. And yes, working a “real job” while trying to re start a business covid shut down and once in awhile trying to get out on a Friday night to un wind can be overpowering. But, it is still awesome to see how the pieces fit into the puzzle. I am eagerly awaiting 30 Oct. 2023
Now to go pour some Packard V-12 cam bearings…
You da bomb, motorman!!!
Nice piece! It needs a slight correction, though. It’s the “DEVOLUTION Power Hour“. (Not the “Devotion Power Hour“.)
Jon Herold wrote an ongoing series on Devolution. Do read that extensively researched & analytic work. Much of what they talk about assumes a familiarity with this theory of Devolution in Government and it enables one to observe events in that light.
slip of the fingers… darned auto-correct…
This is war!! There’s going to be deception, lies, and all kinds of mind-bending twists and turns. I just take one day at a time. If you’re gonna allow yourself to be on an emotional rollercoaster on the daily you’re gonna get burn out really quick.
