Less Than Two Weeks
“Undecided”...When freedom is in the balance
I’m shocked when some friends and acquaintances waver on who they will vote for, as if this is just a typical election with a choice of personalities and policy. A common copout is to vote for some third party candidate that just swings their vote to either Trump or Biden in the end anyway.
On a few recent occasions I’ve been told directly or indirectly that a friend or relative has voted for Joe Biden (Kamela Harris) already. Unlike a typical leftist, I don’t argue with these people or accuse them of outright stupidity (I do think they underestimate the seriousness of their choice).
If you consider voting for Trump, you may feel that you are voting for someone who is coarse, an egotist, a braggart, and someone who is confrontational when he’s attacked — and you may be right.
On the flip side, you can vote for Biden and be concerned about his age, numerous gaffs, and his willingness to follow the dictates of the new far left wing of his party — and your concern may be justified.
All of these typical quirks that one occasionally finds in a candidate are irrelevant in this election. The issues that will affect your life negatively have no relation to the personal traits and behaviors of these candidates.
Ask anyone among the Trump-deranged how the Trump presidency has negatively impacted their life and you will never get a conclusive answer beyond vague assumptions regarding what Trump might do at some point in the future or his role in “ending the world” because he didn’t sign an international bureau-agreement on “climate change” (wealth distribution). A sober appraisal of the facts will find that Trump has done nothing to negatively impact the lives of American citizens beyond the power centers of establishment politics.
A common line spewed from the left is some variation on ...”Trump’s authoritarian tendencies...” and “threats to the constitution.” While he clearly likes striking a tough-guy pose and prides himself on being a fighter, there is nothing he has done or threatened to do that is remotely authoritarian. In numerous examples he has had to work within the natural political order, compromising with the likes of Nancy Pelosi and distant court jurisdictions seeking to thwart his agenda. His executive actions have been no different than Obama’s “phone and a pen” in directing executive offices. If he was so “authoritarian” the riotous behavior of Portland communists would have been shut down long ago, as would the perpetual onslaught of dishonest media partisans. Authoritarians don’t DEregulate and oppose those who wish to stifle free speech.
Meanwhile, those casting the “authoritarian” accusation think nothing of attacking the constitution and the elements of free society in their quest to make the state omnipotent. A major “Alinsky rule,” accuse your opponent of what you yourself are actually doing.
A vote for Trump is against the elitist cocktail set of New York, Washington, and Los Angeles who fancy themselves the rightful rulers of society.
The government wants its country back. A vote for Biden (Harris) will insure that, and insure that common citizens are never again able to take the reins of their own life in the quest for success and happiness. Political life will take on some semblance of a dystopian novel where something or someone akin to “Big Brother” will determine everyone’s life. Want a mere hint of the agenda? “Wear a mask!”...and, “keep your kids at home!” “Report your neighbors for any disobedient behavior, and buy all means, shut up and don’t disagree!”
The left has been on a century-long project to literally take over the United States and usurp full authority over its people. Philosopher kings on a mission to establish themselves on the throne of self-righteous supremacy. They were just on the edge of sealing the deal when the odd flamboyant billionaire came on the scene. There is something almost profound about Trump’s arrival in our current circumstance. Like him or hate him, he has been the biggest obstacle to a complete establishment takeover of the republic. If you support the government intelligence apparatus, the entrenched bureaucracy, and the left’s mission to muzzle, coerce, punish, and control the disobedient, you have every reason to hate Trump. If you cherish America’s founding principles, a prosperous and free society, and a stable and secure ability to pursue happiness, then Trump is your only option. People can whine all they want about tweets or being “orange.” In the end, our entire time of upheaval is about individual freedom vs. submission to a clique of powerful control freaks.
Many people forget that this juncture will not only decide the fate of America but humanity itself. In times past, everyone, no matter how persecuted or under threat of subjugation, knew that America would eventually bend the dial of fate to safety and freedom. It was seen as the tacky and flawed comic book character that would at least leave freedom, optimism, and fun times in its wake. If America were to become just another bureau-dictatorship under one-party leftist control, there would be literally “no place to hide” — a world with villains on the ascendant and no superheroes to repel the decay of civilization.
An insightful person can clearly see that international institutions, mass-migrations, and fanatical ideologies will soon render European civilization irrelevant to the healthy maintenance of....European civilization. America need not follow this trend. It must not.
Freedom and prosperity are in the balance and everything that sane and decent people hold dear could potentially meet their demise.
Vote, as if your life and future depended on it.
