So, it’s been a while since I last wrote anything and wow, have things changed. If you are a Democrat, the sky has fallen and Armageddon is imminent. If you are a Republican, well, your are just not sure. Your guy won, but the world has gone to hell in a handbasket since.
It is a new world where a sitting president is NOT a politician. Who ever thought that could actually happen? He doesn’t care about making other lawmakers happy or appeasing the media. He only cares about his agenda. If you listen to CNN, his agenda is bigotry, islamaphobia, homophobia, war mongering, sexism……and whatever else they think is bad. If you actually listen to his words—-and that means you listen to them without 20 people interpreting them for you and you listen to them in context and you listen to the whole speech–then perhaps you might see an agenda that is geared towards making this country a super power again. He wants to make it an economic super power, a military super power. He wants us to be leaders again. This is a big deal.
For 8 years under Obama, we watched our leader apologize and give away power. We cannot effectively help anyone if we are not powerful. If we want to negotiate for someone who has found themselves at the mercy of some third world maniac, we had better have a big stick to back it up. It doesn’t mean you have to use the stick, but you better have one. Try negotiating with an armed robber if you don’t have a gun…….
So, the big stink since last weekend is that Trump said both sides were to blame. Both sides were violent. And people went nuts……why? The went nuts because he said what everyone else was afraid to say. He did say that Nazi’s and their ilk were bad, but he also said that there was plenty of blame to go around. He never said that a Nazi sympathizer was justified in killing a woman, but you’d think he did by the way the news has covered it.
Charlottesville is a grand example of the Brave New World. It’s a prime example of history being sacrificed in the name of hurt feelings. People claim that they can’t walk past a monument without feeling oppressed……REALLY? Maybe they should see a therapist. Triggering is the new hobby for Americans. They are triggered by something that hasn’t been relevant for years and years……Guess what? It is now. Had they ignored the monuments, like they ignore history in general, most people wouldn’t even realize they were there. They walk right past them without reading the inscriptions or anything. The way to kill the Confederacy is to let it die by indifference. But congrats triggered snowflakes, you have given it special status now. Like Japan with Pearl Harbor. A famous quote about that was ‘you have awoken a sleeping giant.’ For 8 long years, white people or should I say sane people(because they are many, many black, hispanic and Asian, etc people who feel the same way), have chuckled at the nonsense of the fringe left. Poo pooed it as crazies who, crazy though they are, wouldn’t directly affect them or their lives. Then, around 2013 or 2014, it became increasingly apparent that these nut jobs had the President’s ear and many in Congress and local government as well. And the idiocy became law in many cases and sane people said…………
The sane people said, enough is enough and elected Trump. Flawed though he is, he rings true. The more the media and Democrats try to paint him as a demon, the more he looks like the man for the job. A man who doesn’t back down when ridiculous nonsense is said about him. He just goes forward with his agenda as a single minded machine. Because he is not a politician. Maybe, just maybe, other politicians will realize that we are tired of being patronized and lied to and having our pockets picked. That we are a generous and loving nation, but not a naive or stupid one. The more they try to make Trump look bad, when he has done nothing wrong, the stronger his support will get. The media and all the haters have made him the most powerful underdog in history. People love an underdog.
