...but it's not. We want answers to be easy, to require little thought and less involvement. Look at so many of the posts here. How many are trying to distill this nightmare equation down to a single variable? "The cops are all just..."; "The Jews are the ones..."; "White people need to..."

And, more recently, "All Trump has to do is..."

We have watched a presidential election stolen in plain sight, with statistical impossibilities and thousands of observable illegalities. Few, however, had the courage to stand in the way. The Supreme Court itself refused to even look at the "irregularities," every one of which constitutes a felony. Governors, secretaries of state, elections board officials, judges, and legislators all participated or allowed it to happen out of ignorance, fear, or greed.

The depth and breadth of this corruption is staggering. It permeates all of our cultural institutions: education, commerce, news media, politics, comedy, drama--even team sports. Do you think, though, that this happened suddenly, and without planning, or do you think that clever, wicked people saw their opportunities to capture power and wealth over the course of decades? And do you think that one man unexpectedly elected against the wishes of the ruling class can truly snap his fingers to undo all of their work?

My friends (frens), Donald Trump did not sell you out. He did turn his back on his country or his Constitution. He has, in fact, sacrificed deeply of himself in his attempt to make the country better. He could have remained the billionaire celebrity, staying out of politics and even profiting from the Machine. Instead, he is now hated and slandered. His future is now uncertain, where once he was almost a sort of royalty.

He has given this country a lasting gift: a look into the depths of its corrupted leadership and institutions. Doing so has cost him a great deal, and it may cost him yet more in the future. It may be attractive to assume that he had it within his power to restore the Republic, but that was never the case. As Benjamin Franklin pointed out, it is up to the people to keep a republic. Now that the people can see the enemy more clearly, it remains to be seen what they will do.

If we are to reinstate the Constitution and begin the process of building a new republic, it will require a resolve and commitment that the American public hasn't shown in a very long time. It will require involvement at every level of government, from local school boards to city councils all the way up. It will mean that manufactured entertainment must become less important and hard work fighting corruption must become more important. We cannot hope to vote for a candidate every four years and assume that he can fix things for us. We have proven that we have the numbers to effect change, but they must assume more strategically significant positions than mere meme-gunners.

The globalist tyranny being forced upon us is a minority, but it is an organized minority. It has power to restrict the flow of ideas and to broadcast the lies that serve it. Our activity against it must also be organized. Just "doing something" won't be enough. What we do must be deliberate.

Anyway, I'm not sure what awaits us. The argument can be made that a truly free society runs contrary to human nature. I've made it myself. But I can't think of a more righteous cause than liberty. It is worth fighting for.

I am sure, however, that Donald Trump has done what he can. He has weighed his options and will act according to what he believes can be achieved. Rather than blame him for our unrealistic and oversimplified expectations, we should thank him and resolve to carry on what he has begun. The alternative is to simply surrender to tyranny.
