If you want to be "rescued", you will not only have to make your own way to the helicopter, but you may want to have a pilot's license as well.

Lots of lecturing ..from people with perfect lives I’m sure :)

Leave this nonsense to the left. No one EXPECTING Trump to give them anything voted for Trump.

Except a chance

This is exactly the opposite of what the Left preaches and believes.

The Left does not believe in individual responsibililty or individual effort.

The individual, in Leftist ideology, is a pawn blown about by society and those above him.

One thing he does need to start doing is finding a way to whittle down the number of retards in black robes who are destroying America for their communist butt buddies in the DemonRAT Party.

This is a good piece. I've said for years that "making America great again" is going to be an exercise in futility until Americans want to make themselves great again.

That's going to require a major cultural and personal transformation that goes way beyond politics.

Maybe writings like this can help two generations of some who have been raised to believe that their every lack of success is “somebody else’s fault”. Perhaps we can get back to a belief in personal responsibility now that DEI is out, at least in government jobs.

Effing stupid. Nobody expects Trump to guarantee a successful life. If that is the only thing they can find that Trump can’t do they shouldn’t even have published the article. All I want Trump to do is get the government out of the way and let me succeed. At the same time I will be the judge of my own success. So far I already feel more successful and I have since November.

The masses need to recognize that the government is not their friend. Refuse to use it because it's designed to keep you on the plantation and in a false comfort. When you truly have a crisis, the last people you need in your lives are from the government. You need your friends, church, relatives, and properly stocked up financial reserves.

Remember Reagans advise on the nine most horrible words that arrive at your door......

“Too many men [were] immune to hard work,” Vance wrote. He continued, “There is a lack of agency here—a feeling that you have little control over your own life and a willingness to blame everyone but yourself.”

Must have been a UNION shop.

Re: The One Thing Trump Can’t Do.

Another—something like....

In the first century a man approached Rabbi Hillel and challenged him to teach the Torah while standing on one foot.

Hillel replied: “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah, all the rest is commentary. Now go and study the commentary.”

“Go to church and join a small group.”

What’s a “small group”?

As long as I’m no longer held back for the sake of “equity” I can do just fine on my own.
