I got so angry, so impossibly frustrated, seeing a once-in-a-generation talent resorting to hustling crack to feed his child. This was the early 90's in Brooklyn. Our beautiful people selling poison to each other to survive. His best friend got murdered, he doubted his music could ever make enough money to get him off the streets, he didn't know how else to provide for his child.
I love his music. But what about it makes it so powerful? It's the desperation, the anger, the uncensored brutal confrontation with a gentle soul who finds he's good at making money selling out his people and breaking the law.
Why did he say he did this? Because there were no jobs.
The so called activists go and protest and riot all summer long saying black lives matter, and blame the problem on the nebulous racism--if we just feel more guilty then things will improve.
You say you care about black people. If you fucking cared about black people, you would have built a wall in the 80's to stop the drugs, enforced illegal immigration policies to not undercut the black workforce, you would have stopped the closing of factories and outsourcing our middle class to China. You would have opposed the black genocide of black unborn children in our cities and you would have stopped the destruction of the black family ironically accelerated by welfare! You would have held Biden accountable during his 8 years to fix his own Crime bill that help cause this! You would have looked past the color of Obama's skin to realize he was accelerating all of these things.
But no, you say those things are racist!
Even worse, you don't even know when Trump goes and fixes it himself, what do you do? You call Trump a racist.
I cannot help but be convinced that there is a sickness in this country, a blind self loathing type of sickness. Where we feel so strongly that wrongs must be righted and then funnel that into the very solutions that massively multiply the wrongs, and giving up your independent free will--the most cherished, irreplaceable, sacred of things, that what sets you apart from animals and that what makes you in God's own image!--instead trusting the politicians and media to happily manipulate you into a blind destructor of people, to turn around and viciously tear down anyone actually trying to fix the problem.
Why are we often called the Silent Majority? Why does it always seem conservative voices are silenced and far-Left voices enjoy free Speech, pushed by the big networks worldwide?
I often think "if we are correct in our ideas and thoughts, why is there such visceral rejection of us in the public conversation?" Why do the racist/bigot/angry supremecist/extremist labels stick so well (despite it being literally opposite this movement), and the labels to the Left just seem to slide right off without making any difference? Why, when I sit in groups at work, or with family, or at church, it's the far-Left views that are loudly proclaimed with the air of moral superiority, and any even careful attempt to push back are met with suspicion? God forbid I mention I agree with Donald Trump. There seems to be a universal agreement that the Leftist views are safe and right to say, and anything that opposes them is dangerous and must be quarantined and eliminated.
This morning I realized that if the Gospel is right, why don't I find it easy to loudly proclaim the Gospel at work, at home, at church even? And then why isn't it pushed on all the big networks?
Well, often truth is uncomfortable. Encountering truth can disorient us completely after collapsing our previous worldview. Truth often shows us we are wrong and need to change. It can shake us when facing horrible truths about the world, it can also shake us when truth leaves us with more personal responsibility than we want.
I do not think this movement holds sole possession of the complete truth, and I firmly believe that we all benefit from open and honest discussion, and even those on the far-Left share the same deep desires of achieving Happiness and Liberty as we do. However I think at this time, there are many more truths being silenced about how to achieve this and what it actually means and many more shiny-looking falsehoods being proclaimed.
Just because something is easy to say publicly doesn't mean it is right. In fact, it may be that the right things to say are more often publicly hard to say.
You act like you’re the one acting with reason. You think the “right” is angry and extreme and has unreasonable demands.
But you don’t see how the only way your “reason” has a place is because of the slimy, manipulative, propagandized, back-stabbing, degenerate acts done in the shadows. For example, your view would not be “normal” and “reasonable” if the media weren’t hoodwinking our entire western world--including you, on a daily basis. Your “normal” would not feel normal if the democrats didn’t sell out their own people, mislead our youth, feed our children with self-hate and insecurities. And that goes for the republican establishment as well -- they just masquerade it differently -- they teach the weakness of being secretly relieved to lose. Your “reason” wouldn’t feel like calm reasonable discussion, if you realized your leaders were laughing at you behind your back for thinking you had a choice.
You cry “let’s just have a reasonable discussion!” and accuse the other people of not being reasonable. You get angry when you see us angry at the system that allows you to look down on others without even knowing that you are. You think you’re the enlightened ones aware of the oppressive system and calmly dismantling it—yet it’s the system lying to you to make you think that. You’re still trapped in the system, because you’re dismantling something that never existed in the first place, you’re calmly following their lead, giving them your power, and thinking you’re shielded from madness, when you’re just shielded from reality. We’re angry seeing fellow citizens being used! We’re angry because you are lost! You are enabling the very things you hate! You are a frog being boiled, thinking the people yelling at you to jump have all lost their minds!
It’s late and I’m going to sleep, however I wanted to post something to remember this milestone. Four and a half years ago I made my first post on T_D, after a vivid, gripping dream the night before, where I felt a temptation to want Hillary to win because it was safe, yet I knew I couldn’t let myself do that, because it was wrong. It was wrong because deep down I knew that that safety was paid for by selling out our country, that safety came at the expense of the hardworking beautiful people in our country. I was a two time Obama voter, but noticed that our country seemed stalled, our towns listless, and that he disappeared to Washington after getting elected. I noticed that when Trump ran, everything he said made me uncomfortable, but everything he said actually made sense. That morning, waking up, I knew that my worldview had permanently shifted, I no longer saw the news as the ground truth, I no longer fit a mainstream narrative, I was free and felt the fear that the responsibility of freedom brings. So I posted my first post, got my coat, and joined the movement. I’ve been here with you all, every day, since then. I got used to smiling when overhearing people bash Trump, having that calm confidence like when witnessing a child throwing tantrums, knowing that our fighter was in the White House, and that in this world up is down and down is up, and I had been fortunate enough to recognize that and trust my instincts. There’s too much to write about what we saw these last four years, but it was good, and it was proof to me that this movement is about love for country, love for all countrymen and women, and love for the freedoms of safety, expression, and agency, that our constitution enshrines. The last several months have been painful. It did not go the way I expected. When I stop and think about what has happened, the anger and sadness rises. The best explanation I can fathom at this point is that God often gives us just enough good until we have to learn to make it ourselves. I wanted more, but maybe it was enough, and the next step is for us. Maybe it’s time we do the fighting that Trump did for us. I wouldn’t lie and say that isn’t daunting, in fact I’m discouraged thinking about how could I or anyone else ever fill his shoes. But God is good, and I have to trust that for my hopefully sixty some years remaining in my life, with a concerted effort of fellow Patriots, holding true to our ideals and dreams, my life can build up this nation to be closer to what it can be. It’s a lifelong endeavor, and somehow, some way, we will ensure that the best is indeed yet to come.
The only reason for mail in ballots pushed in many states was covid. The claims of mass voter fraud rely on mail in ballots.
Next elections will not have covid. We must not allow mail in ballots to become normal.
And if we see officials pushing to keep them, then we know who is corrupt.
It seems that our elected officials have turned on us and are working with the media to create the narrative that our movement truly is unhinged and we are violent, and that Biden represents law and order and peace and the nation is ready to return to "normal". It of course makes me sick to see this.
No matter what happens in the next few weeks, and no matter who our next President is, this movement will only grow, because this movement existed long before Trump, and because nothing I have seen since Nov. 3rd actually addressed our concerns and gave us more confidence in our system of government. It has made it worse.
By talking with my friends and family who are all well-meaning, moderate people, who I think represent a huge portion of the silent majority (who did not vote Trump), I have concluded two things need to be focused on.
- We need to compile and publish the details and reasoning used by the courts and judges for every single election fraud court case that was lost or thrown out.
"They lost all court cases" is the main proof for the majority of people that no fraud happened. It seems to all hinge on this, in terms of public opinion. If it turns out that these cases were unfairly thrown out and/or poor logic was used, then many more people will be angry and start to believe our system is as corrupt and broken as we believe it is. Because they think the system worked and concluded there was no fraud, and find it hard to believe that the entire judicial system is corrupt. I have actually never seen the details of these cases either, so I think we need to compile and summarize them.
- How do we articulate and measure our concerns about Biden? Many reasonable fellow Americans see him as well-meaning and middle of the road, and as sick as that makes me, how do I articulate to them the things that I fear? How do I justify the fear of Biden being so large that a Civil War seems to be at stake? From their perspective, we are "storming" the Capitol because we fear a "good guy" like Biden, therefore we must be unhinged and unwilling to admit we lost fairly. The news won't discuss it, and they don't want to believe that Biden is corrupt. So how do we articulate and measure our fears, in terms that they will understand, that Biden is not safe, but will literally lead us to lose our Nation?
Fears of a Biden presidency, in order of importance.
- Increased outsourcing to China and further erosion of the American middle class
- Packing of supreme court and further legislating critical race theory
- More wars
- Further erosion of election security and transparency
- Unenforced immigration
- Increased regulations, taxes, and stagnant economy
- Further increased media bias and deplatforming / silencing dissenting voices
I believe these are the concerns fueling this movement. If we end up with Biden for the next four years, these are what need to be measured and evaluated, in order to convince more people that we were right.
