The left has twisted our republic to the point of being unrecognizable. We’re going to have to take drastic action to protect the American way of life.

The following is a scenario that I hope is not necessary, but which needs to be seriously debated in the conservative movement.

I used to think America needed its own Pinochet. But we might actually need a Napoleon or Julius Caesar to pull us out of this mess. We might have to declare the creation of an American Empire with Trump as emperor. That would give Trump the authority to do what needs to be done — in a way that temporary emergency power could not.

Under this scenario, Trump would have more than just temporary dictatorial power. He’d temporarily hold the sovereignty of the nation in his hands. No court or legislature could oppose him. For a while, Trump would BE the state. This is power only a patriot like Trump could ever be trusted to have.

And because Trump could name a successor (not necessarily one of his sons, though it could be), this would ensure that the country remained in safe hands if Trump died in office.

I know this sounds crazy to modern ears. But the republic is already gone. It’s been replaced by the Deep State cabal. It’s been that way for a long time. So we have little to lose.

Only by temporarily placing sovereignty in the hands of a single, trusted patriot can we expect to defeat the cabal and RESTORE the republic we lost decades ago.

The establishment of an Empire would be a temporary measure. Once the leftist menace is defeated, we would naturally reestablish the republic we had in place prior to the Deep State takeover, which happened shortly after WWII.

The whole project to restore the republic would take less than a decade.

If you study history what you are saying makes total sense.

What’s the saying—history never repeats itself, but it sometimes rhymes? Our founders modeled our government after the Roman Republic. When the Republic started to collapse, various leaders tried to stop the fall—Julius Caesar taking up the task. His nephew, Augustus kept telling people he was restoring the Republic but when he died, Rome fell into the hands of his crazy relatives, Tiberius, Gaius—better known as Caligula and Nero. After them, the hope of a rebirth of the Republic was lost forever. I’d rather not go down that road.
