Upstream
American Thinker ^ | 4 Jan, 2025 | David Prentice

Posted on 01/04/2025 5:03:30 AM PST by MtnClimber

Andrew Breitbart had a maxim, that politics are downstream from culture. Thanks to Trump, his team, and a once-in-a-lifetime realignment, we find ourselves on the positive side of this equation. We find ourselves upstream, in a positive move that is unique. Historic, and breathtaking. Clearly God-sent.

Consider the remarkable transformation that is happening. So many extraordinary changes since the election. Epic changes toward the renewal of American ideals and positive events concerning America. Even though Trump has not taken office yet, the trajectory of events is moving faster in a good direction than one might have considered. It is true that the left is still squealing, still in power, still violent, still crazed (particularly war-crazed), and the battle against them and their ugly machinations is far from over. But for now, there has been a palpable sigh of relief in this country, and the rest of the world will likely follow suit.

The leftist spell over the nation is fading. Don’t let their confused, destructive actions as they exit power destroy your hard-earned faith in the future.

We are in a historic era, one that has the potential to redefine our country for the better. Our culture has been, and is being affected deeply in remarkable ways. Start with the Trump team to understand this. A formidable and diverse group has joined with each other to save this country and its culture from decline and the radical leftists causing it. Many of Trump’s allies are former Democrats. Yet they agree a threat has come from the radical left that jeopardizes our future. They will fix that.

Joining the Trump team is a remarkable group of doctors, lawyers, influencers, businesspeople, intellectuals, and normies; normies including most of the blue-collar workers of America. We are caught up together in this movement.

What? Could the Republicans screw up this opportunity? I would not be shocked.

Yes we could screw up this opportunity.

The article reminds us that: “We find ourselves upstream, in a positive move that is unique. Historic, and breathtaking. Clearly God-sent,.”

Thus the forces of evil (Satan and his minions) will be quick to try to influence anyone they have power over, to thwart any effort for positive change. So we need to keep in mind this is a war between good and evil, keep praying, and enlisting the help of the Holy Spirit to do our part.

That is why we cannot depend on the Republicans.

They tend to react rather than driving the agenda.

President Trump needs to move fast and break things using the vast powers of the Executive Branch.

The Democrats created this Leviathan—now it is time to turn it on them in thousands of different ways.

If you are not playing offense you are playing defense.

Alinsky may have been a communist but his tactics/strategy need to be appropriated by the right.

Unfortunately too many on our side still have the “reach across the aisle” and “this is not who we are” mentality.

Agreed—if you combine Sun Tzu strategy and Alinsky tactics then crushing the left/Democrat Party for the long term is totally doable.
