I don't know what Pepe is exactly, a LARP, or what y'all are talking about when you say cross the Rubicon. But I'm not a spy a troll, just one of the 12 million new converts. I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 and wasn't planning on voting for him in 2020, because frankly I didn't know I was being lied to by the media. I thought he was a narcissistic cult personality, who was exploiting people's good ideals of patriotism for his own benefit, and that good people have gotten caught up in his hype.
So why am I here? Because you can suppress the truth but you can't kill it. The trap that they set for Trump eventually caught them. No matter how you trust the media there's no such thing as a perfect facade, and one seed of doubt is all it takes, because when you don't have truth on your side, it's not long for things to crumble.
To my shame I never have follow the news or politics closely, but right before the election I attempted to make more of an effort. After hearing something about twitter not letting a news org post about the laptop from hell, I started digging a little deeper. Wow what a story, I thought and waited to hear what these intelligent well resourced advocates for the people would undercover and present through the media. Needless to say the illusion of the "news" vanished pretty quickly for me. How could I, sitting on a couch on my phone, find receipts, cooperating evidence, credible testimony and witness, but they could not, or worse yet purposely concealed information and deceivingly "debunked" the story.
Now I'm assuming that most people reading this are like "of course, that's what they do" but for me it felt like hitting hard cement and was enough to wake me up and cause me to start questioning what else they had been telling me. So I started listening to Trump and I was shocked because he was nothing like the person I thought he was.
I'm pretty angry that there are millions of people who have been lied, and conditioned to think that he's a racist, power hungry, mind controlling villain, when in fact he's the only one who has their best interest and has suffered personally on so many levels to protect them.
of course the media is not the only one to blame I am responsible for the apathy that led me to take so long to fact check the fact checkers, but if there's anything I can leave you with is that there's hope because every day more people are woken up, they don't even know this website exists, or where to find reliable information. It took me months after being disillusioned. Your maga numbers are growing, and frankly Trump wouldn't be so suppressed if they weren't terrified of people hearing him, which frankly may not be to their advantage, knowing the curiosity of human nature.
And once they're awake, well there's new money and new energy a new passion added to the movement literally every day. I have never in my life given a dime to anything political before this, engaged in political conversations, or felt so fiercely protective of our constitutional rights, and I know I'm not alone.
To you who've been with Trump from the beginning I can't imagine the roller coaster the fatigue you're feeling, the scars from betrayals, as well as memories of triumph through out these past several years. You are a resilient bunch, and us newcomers are thankful for all you have done be paving this path that we now follow.
You've never been dealt a fair deck, but you fight harder. You have never gotten your day in court, but you keep marching. You deserve some recognition and some gratitude because without your support of what Trump has done for the American people there would have been no movement.
If you feel broken-hearted disillusioned or discouraged, exhausted, weary it's totally justified, you have endured a lot. Maybe you're angry or maybe you're numb it's okay. You've been failed by a lot of systems we should be able to trust.
Cry or yell, or cry and yell, but please don't give up.
It's not over, and you have reinforcements coming, many who just haven't found how to get plugged in yet. They're fresh energy but they're naive and as battle weary as you might feel now they need your wisdom. It's not a baton to pass but a new comrade on your side who doesn't know which way to go but has strength and energy of the new fire in their bones from being freshly awake to help propel forward into Trump's peaceful transfer of power from his first to his second term. America is worth the fight, and you all have done well, and will win in the end.
Truth always does.
Hope springs eternal. Thank God.
Thank you for sharing. Hold on tight.
