I would encourage you to keep in mind the words of Adm. James Bond Stockdale, reflecting on his time spent checked-in at the Hanoi Hilton:

This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

I really don’t think anyone—whether they’re leftist trolls or conservatives unwittingly advancing the leftist agenda—can do anything to kill hope at this point.

These days the hope of regular Americans is going strong, firmly hitched to a newly fired engine—their anger and rage at a corrupt government.
