A Watauga Conservative

The "Proud Boys" group....those who Trump told to " stand back and stand by "....has taken a new turn. Kyle Chapman, the leader of the "Proud Boys Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights", has declared himself the de facto leader and voice of this group, stating : "We will no longer cuck to the left by appointing token negroes as our leaders. We will no longer allow homosexuals or other 'undesirables' into our ranks. We will confront the Zionist criminals who wish to destroy our civilization. We recognize that the West was built by the White Race alone and we owe nothing to any other race." This is the base of Trump-ism. This is not political conservatism. This is outright racism, fascism, and authoritarianism.

Trump continues his " no concession " campaign. This is yet another apparent fascist tactic to undermine our democracy. There has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud and Trump's own  voting integrity commission found no such voter fraud in the 2016 election either.  Same (false) story. Different year. And all meant to maintain autocratic power. 

We should make a point to say that this blog has not been "stolen" (as Guy commented).  Blogger has retired and he turned the administrative and authorship responsibilities over to others. As such, we are revamping the voice and look of the blog - all for the better. Take a look at the first (post-retirement) post to review our newly minted tenets. 

Following the retirement of Blogger and a return to reality, we're looking for enthusiastic contributors! If you'd like to author some blog posts and drive the future of A Watauga Conservative , please comment with your info: (all comments with info will be seen by the admin but not shared publicly on the blog) Name Email  Background/Résumé Areas of interest/specialty Why you want to contribute Thank you to all in advance! 

  Echoing this blog's "he won, get over it" message from 2016 -- Joe Biden has won the popular and electoral college vote.  We concede that Biden won the election and do not support Trump's attempts to undermine legal votes and the voice of the people. 

Nearly (only) 82 years after Germany's Kristallnacht, Democratic supporters in California were targeted with eerily reminiscent paint markings .  As the above is a very clear fascist tactic, we repeat that this blog is (newly) anti-fascist and denounces this type of behavior. 

  With a new President, we are fully devoted to a renewed sense of community. We are: 1) Anti-Racist, 2) Anti-Fascist, and 3) Anti-Authoritarian.  All policies and behaviors should follow these basic precepts.
