It’s about my orientation. I’m finally came out to my FB friends – might as well do it with my moto tribe.

I’m a proud liberal!! TW would hate me, I know!

I put this on my FB wall after fact checking comments on my friends walls for the last week.  I might as well come out to my moto family as well. I’d probably do more for you guys I don’t even know than I would for the majority of them anyway cause you know…motocross.

I mean I really learned my debate craft here, I’ve been practicing with some of the best political minds The OC can muster a couple from the OC RNC so I think I’m ready for what the best Vitards have to offer. I’m too tired to engage tonight but I have lots of receipts and thoughts to share if challenged no cut and paste.  I won’t post links I don’t need to I have so much data to support my positions.  I’ll post my opinions based on facts.  With that being said

After stressing on this jump for a while now, I’ve sized up the landing, come up short, bounced it a couple times - now I’m ready.

I’m coming out…fully committed.  btw  Theres a 2fer in the last paragraphs that none of my friends ever knew about I’m ready to talk about.

Well everybody else’s wall is full of all kinds of political crap I might as well join in instead of just fact-checking some of what I consider to be some of OC’s most respected political minds at least in my neck of the woods and put my wall where my comments on my friend's posts are. 

Jeez, by now I have I don’t even want to know how much material I have ready to defend my position, none of it cut and paste, all in my own words, all from verifiable legit sources.  IMHO

What’s the worst that can happen, I may lose some discounts I enjoy in the motorcycle industry,  and I could lose potential business or any future endeavors with my MAGA circle that aren’t already in one of the 4 friends wall comments I’m currently fact checking.  It was 5 but Greg L couldn’t handle the heat and I got clippy clippy from his wall.  I got cocky before I noticed how many followers he had.  He challenged my assertion that one of his friends had PM’d me as a recent Rep turned Dem with support (which really meant a lot to me – keep em coming) .  

He clipped me when I sent him a screen shot with the person’s name blacked out – my bad!  I will never mention who they or the MAGA housewives I’ve heard from are, as IMHO that could become a real thing if trump gets in.  Actually, us agitators will probably be the 2nd or 3rd tranche of arrests after the journalists, politicians and enemies within are all rounded up.  You better believe this page comes down if trump wins.  Believe what he tells you, he’s an honest man not subject to exaggeration.  

Its unfortunate Greg L unfriended me, as he had over 2200 friends as opposed to the 1854 combined I’m trying to debate now, I think of specific people who I hope don’t see this – but more that I hope do read it like my old best friends Mom from Brentwood whose superstar surgeon son taught me more after I stopped hanging around with him than he ever did when he was alive and posts the most witty and funny FB content, Maseltof!  or a couple of my friends from my old stomping grounds in WLA where apparently I really learned most of my core values at Brentwood Elementary and Paul Revere Jr High who have been vocal from the very start - brave.  I’m thinking of you Larry!  And that sexy gal in the cannabis industry who I somehow ended up on her FB page when I was in the hemp industry, she’s fighting the good fight with her followers too, yes Patti I don’t miss anything you post – safe travels.  We don’t even know each other, I‘ll say hi one of these times were at the same convention in CO or Vegas.  That must’ve been how we connected in the first place or Boulder Canopy(?)   

Well I’m finally putn’ up the good fight down here in the deep red OC when it matters most.  I really hope I can stop soon if not we will give him a chance right? – then fight like our republic depends on it. 

I had this Olive Branch – Mea Culpa ready to post the day before the election, but I better post it now for maximum effect and before I push my luck too much farther.  I really want to thank my friends for allowing me to infiltrate without cutting me off.  Respect

Not so much a Mea Culpa as an Olive Branch

FITZ-G's Political FB disclaimer: I don’t think everybody who supports trump is a lunatic or racist. Or “F*cked in the head” or “drinking the kool aide” as I was told I was. I understand the need for change (vote for a black woman and I guarantee you will get change)😊  and I know most of you mean well and I understand how easy it is to get caught up in all the cultish fervor.

However if anyone in the peanut gallery wants to dispute anything I’ve said or wants to bring up something specific but doesn’t want to come out publicly as a MAGAdonor feel free to send me more DM’s, I don’t judge and will be discreet. 

OK, I suppose I won’t convince anyone I haven’t already.  If just one more MAGA wife or friend of mine comes out of the ether in time this will have been worth it - I suppose. Still, mostly I want everyone to know where I stood before she starts bringing people together, takes a real bipartisan stab at the border without the politics (we all want the same thing), crime continues to drop, the stock market continues to rise, and prices continue to stabilize. She finds a place for Liz and maybe another common sense republican or two in her cabinet and/or inner circle and were all singing kumbaya.  

if trump wins MAGA will have to own and forever defend their decision when the crippling tariffs start and Musk (this ain’t rocket science smarty pants…just dribble) starts giving us all a haircut and women in CA start dying in hospital parking lots like is starting to happen all over the rest of the country and all the other doom the left is predicting, and all our children start emulating trump, and foul fucking language becomes even more acceptable.  Grab any pussy’s lately?  Cause ya you know can when you’re a star.

I will not and do not judge anyone, I saw the fervor and group think take over at least half my friends, many a lot smarter than me, faster than you could say  “Ted Cruz changed his mind, so did McConnell” or “Kevin McCarthy went to Marlago after criticizing the Insurrection” or even “I love spell check” 

It was text book.  Those who understand media marketing and fascism and authoritarianism can respect trumps true skills.  It’s like Putin, junUn, Bolsonaro or one of his other dictator buddies gave him a crash course somewhere along the line.

On the other hand if trump wins I’ll start capitalizing his name out of respect and hope for the best, but if/WHEN the shit I’m afraid of starts happening I’ll be the first to say I told you so.  

I’ll accept a Harris loss like I have for every other election where the opposition won, I just hope MAGA will do the same.

This has been really hard for me.  I knew before I started that if I don’t seriously strain some relationships – I may outright lose some friends and completely kill my chance of doing any sort of business in CA anymore.  I feel some of my pundits feel the same way lest they engage with me.  I’ve already possibly lost one lifelong friend before this all started – from one incident or miscalculation on at least one of our parts - but really it’s politics, the sad thing is I’ve always know where he stood, but he’s only recently known where I stood or felt it was OK to talk about politics around me.  It brings tears to my eyes.  One of my closest and oldest friends who introduced me to some of you.  Some of you probably know who I’m taking about.  Hopefully, time will get us back on track someday, I am not hopeful if I believed what he does I wouldn’t trust anybody on the left either.

That's how passionate I am.  You may have noticed I pay little more attention to politics than any of you may have thought and i have some strong opinions, I’d like to think I’m good like that with a lot of things.  

I can handle higher taxes, more guns, continued mass shootings, fewer books, worse healthcare, and the end of abortions I’ll never be a party to.  I’ve never been called an alarmist but I’m just really concerned about losing what people much greater and braver than I have fought and died for over the years. 

I just remember what we were afraid trump was going to do his first time in office and how much worse it actually ended up. 

I want to fish and race motorcycles for the next 25 yrs or at least as long as I can and there’s still someone left to race against, (which is dwindling fast) - Not stress about society.  It's been a bad year for motocross between sickness and a couple crashes  RIP RR, RF, TW.

Bottom line if Kamala wins I hope I’m right, If trump wins I hope I’m wrong.  Can we agree on that?

I am reminded of and feel this is a good a time as any to mention what Professor Phillip Morrison once said to the faculty at Cornell University to convince them and the guys in the black suits (Feds) to let my dad go, even if his theories, formulas and equations were too close to Oppenheimer’s to be a coincidence (commie paranoia was bad in the 50’s) They agreed and Morrison arranged a meeting with my dad and Einstein. – Unfortunately, he died literally the day my dad was driving to New Jersey – heard it on the radio and headed back to Cornell, my dad’s life was never the same.

Morrison proposed….
WHAT IF HE’S RIGHT??

Ok, Buckle up.
