I, too, am in deep red Alabama.

Before we diss Trump over his ego, at least appreciate one side-effect of his ego that we've taken for granted. He pointed this out in 2016, I believe after he won the primary.

Trump said that from that moment on he's taking most of the heat from the freedom-killing Dims. That most of their fiery arrows will be shot at him instead of their fellow Americans who were routinely being targeted for simple things like running a business without forcing their female employees to share locker rooms and restrooms with men.

To be sure, the left is still going after some of us, as the Jan 6 protestors in jail can attest. And they're still going after Jack Phillips (the baker in Colorado). But for the most part, they've left the rest of us alone and put most of their focus onto Trump.

So before you discard Trump over his ego, make sure you're ready for the left to go back to focusing their cross-hairs on us average Joes if we nominate a Desantis or Paul.

This isn't actually the case. The problem is that Trump discards HIS teammates.

Indeed sir/madam, indeed.

I wish PDJT was more disciplined, less bombastic, I truly wish he hadn’t pushed “his” “vaccines” so much...but then again, I wish for a lot of other things; all of us are less than perfect, and that includes Trump.

That being said, I wholeheartedly agree, Trump absorbed a lot of the vitriol that the left would have otherwise happily leveled at the conservative base under say, a Hillary presidency.

For that alone, I owe him my eternal gratitude.

I will not give up on him as he hasn’t given up on us.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I’ll carry on.
