I know many here will say: Well, what are you going to do about it? I’m not sure yet, but we need like minded people to come to a PEACEFUL coalition of rejection of these leftist attacks. How? I don’t know.

Well here's one thing we CAN do and something that I have done: Cancel cable television completely and avoid mainstream media at all costs.

If every Trump supporter did that, mainstream media would overnight lose about half of it's audience and revenues.

That would get their attention.

As soon as I cut my cable, I obtained almost immediate serenity and peace of mind. Not that I stick my head in the sand, I still go to various Internet sites (including Free Republic) to keep up with the news but I can easily avoid giving clicks to mainstream media.

For instance, many Freepers still post links from mainstream media sites. I just don't click on them. I know many Freepers like to chide others for not reading the source article but if it's a NYT, WashPost link or whatnot, sorry, I'm not clicking through to read the article from mainstream media.

Unfortunately, there are very few of us willing to give up our cable TV. Not sure these people realize the massive amount of entertainment that is available through streaming options. Between YouTube, AmazonPrime Audio, Hulu, etc., I will never run out of things to watch even if I quit my job and did nothing but stream video. Cable TV...you just don't need it. All you need is a reliable broadband internet connection and you can pick and choose your content.

Seriously, I think cable TV and especially cable news (Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) is bad for your health. Nothing but negativity, shouting and the same crap over and over and over. As soon as I turned the noise off, my blood pressure went down and I felt much better...much more positive about my life. And I'm actually even better informed than I was before because I have some reliable websites to go to that immediately catch me up on the news of the day without all the mindless chatter and agenda-driven narratives.

Last night was a very relaxing evening. We were with family and we streamed a Christmas movie (Christmas Chronicles) with the kids and then streamed a Coen Brothers movie with a couple glasses of wine.

The Left will not allow this to be peaceful.

We’ve tried it with Trump, but the massive Federal Government permanent establishment will not allow him to control it, or even move it in any significant way.

The next time all that will be left us is a true revolution. With all of the bells and whistles that go with the real thing.
