Our founders still speak to us. Their writings, their essence, their shadows, still traverse the corridors of governance. For millennia, they discerned the reasons for the decline of nations, meticulously steering clear of errors while acknowledging that their work remains humanly imperfect. With faith in God, they persevered.
We had a script but insisted on going our own way.
We were told early in our nation’s life that our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people, yet we ignored them and added our own flawed wisdom, introducing strange new gods.
We have anticipated this moment for years. We were silent when the liberals with their irreverent grasp of America took over our education system. They patiently altered generations, cultivating discontent, ridicule, and mockery of both God and country.
The mainstream media, for just as long, has participated in undermining America and its ideals, actively tearing us down while failing to realize that the world they seek to create would ultimately render them discarded..
We are now a nation divided into tribes. We are no longer united as E pluribus Unum, "out of many, one." Forces both internal and external have worked diligently to divide us into liberals, progressives, Islamists, atheists, socialists, communists, and anarchists, all vying for supremacy. They don't realize that, despite being allies now, any group that may gain dominance will eventually turn against the others. I have not included conservatives in this division because their primary aim has always been to preserve the ideals of our founding fathers.
Different tribes have distinct aspirations that have always led to various delusions, causing them to repeat the same mistakes as previous generations without learning anything. It cannot be avoided, for they have been denied the education, understanding, and experience.
We will now be governed by a Congress that is collectively deranged. Congratulations.
The Democrats are already preparing for battle, but their goal is not to solve our problems. It's to cement their power permanently. They plan to pack the Supreme Court and eliminate the Electoral College to silence smaller Republican states. The incoming House Oversight Chair had only one message to Republicans: "Lawyer up." Their sights are fixed on retribution for Republicans winning elections.
The only solution they have proposed is to tax the rich, which will solve nothing. Even if they confiscated their money, it still wouldn't be near enough to buy what they want.
The Dems continue to yell, "Medicare for all, Medicare for all." The best estimates for 10 years is between $40 trillion and $75 trillion. If you just average that out, it comes to $57.5 trillion for ten years. The rich aren't going to pay that. If they raised taxes on corporations, who will really pay? Customers…YOU. Businesses don't pay taxes. They just add their cost to the selling price. I.E. $75,000 for a pickup truck. The government would still need to raise your taxes, potentially by half of your salary or more.
DSA is also demanding all student loan debt be cancelled. There's another $4 trillion.
You think you know what inflation is... you don't. You've been snookered.
Add to that the Democrats' insistence on opening the borders. Let your mind wander as to how much it would cost for an additional 40 or 50 million people on Medicare or entering the housing market. I haven't even mentioned the added crime that would bring.
Get real, people. Nothing they propose makes any sense unless you want the government to take complete control over your life.
The Democrats cannot give their followers what they want because what they want is something they cannot deliver. They just didn't tell you because all they really wanted was power. It's the DSA that will nag the Dem leadership to mental cruelty. The socialists are impatient, and they're now very cocky.
The average citizen, in spite of the delusion of the freebie, will pay one way or another. Millions of 401K and retirement accounts have already suffered losses just because of the election and the Dems war on big business and high tech.
Democrats are lying to all of us.
The cost of free is unlike anything you can imagine...your economic freedom, your liberty, and your self-respect. You now have the luxury of watching what happens when socialists in France can't deliver.
The next two years could lead to a significant decline for either the Democrat Party or the United States as a whole. The only justification they will offer for their lack of progress is that they do not hold the presidency. This is the critical moment when we must establish clear battle lines.
The Democrats have declared war on America for voting Republican.
Some are asking, "Now what?" If the Democrats do what I believe they will do, they will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And that's OK with me. Sit back and enjoy the show.
