I was recently thinking about the Bolsonaro speech that was stickied yesterday. What struck me most was his vim and vigor:

They keep on humiliating our people… what these son of bitches want… is our freedom. That is why I want that… the people arm themselves. A fucking mayor makes a fucking decree, handcuffs people and keeps everyone at home. If they were armed, they’d go to the streets…. I want to give a fucking message to these assholes…. an armed people will never be enslaved.

This urgency stands in stark contrast to the rhetoric coming from any U.S. politician, even President Trump. Why is that? How have the people that told the king of the global hegemon to go fuck himself in 1776 devolved into passive conservatives and social justice snowflakes?

After some thought, I concluded that too much time without a conflict weakens the spirit of a people. Think of it as learning a language. Studying the language improves your skill. However, without consistent use, it cannot be retained. I think that is what has happened to our great nation. The last major crisis in America was on 9/11. On that day, and for several years after, Americans on both the left and right rallied together against a common enemy. Our nation was strong. The absence of major battles at home over the next two decades subsequently led to social justice—non-issues coming to the forefront. People have to find something to be angry about, after all. Transgender rights, climate change regulations, these are first-world problems. While people in Africa starve, and people in Hong Kong fight for freedom from tyrannical China, many Americans sit at home and become complacent. Complacent with expanding government power. Complacent with fake news. Complacent with increasing partisanship. I am not calling for an induced conflict, that is not necessary. Rather, we must be acute in knowing that this strength is not mustered without a catalyst.

The recent coronavirus outbreak has been touted by politicians as a time for us all to come together, as we did during 9/11. President Trump especially has called for an end to all of the partisan bickering. What, however, has come out of this pandemic/dempanic? More fake news, more shams, TDS on full display. The feeble-minded soyboys, descendents of great men and women, have never faced any real danger. They are incapable of handling a tough situation. But, hope is not all lost.

In 2016, we saw many Bernie Bros flip to vote for Trump. What we may disagree on about particular issues is overshadowed by our shared disdain for the establishment and the Deep State. America has sat complacent for many years as our civil liberties and rights have been eroded by power-hungry authoritarians. Well, no more. It is time to bring her back to libertarian roots.

This year, we must work harder than ever to elect politicians, who are not merely Republican, but who share our values and the values our nation was founded upon. President Trump, Richard Grenell, Rand Paul—these are the type of men who we need at the helm fighting off the swamp monsters. So please get all of your family and friends registered to vote, fight heavily against voter fraud, and vote in primaries and the general to KAG.
