Sadly the people will not be rising anytime soon.
That is the problem with disparaging Trump. A large segment of America is impressed by his celebrity, wealth and business empire. They have not been touched by traditional politicians and do not put any faith in their speeches but they will listen to Trump because of his celebrity status. Trump’s direct statements address their experience of being disenfranchised in their own nation and for the first time or the first time in many years, they are engaged.
That is Trump’s strength; he makes the average person believe we can get back to a society where the American Dream can be achieved. Its important to be practical though idealism is soul satisfying. If Trump leaves the race those souls will not just vote for the next candidate; they will stay home.
Every election cycle we get 4 years worth of brand new voters just from the perspective of age. The liberals have control of the schools and the entertainment industry and have been marketing their vile ideology for years. It is time we do SOMETHING to counter that. That’s one area.
Then, with these debates, for example, if we would stop being stupid and treating it like a pro wrestling match, we would realize that it is a wonderful opportunity to educate the public in spite of the MSM.
We have control of both houses of Congress. Where are the Newt Gingrich types who go before the cameras and educate the public about conservatism (not saying he was perfect but he was a far cry better..)? Newt had that Contract With America thing that was brilliant. It was something people understood.
There are many things we can do to bring back conservative principles to this country. We should never give up. The liberals didn’t. They went from lunatic fringe to gaystapo in fairly short order. They faced defeat after defeat and kept pushing from every single angle possible. Now look. Who could have predicted that? The public still doesn’t agree, but the MSM polling tells them they do and the black robed tyrants tell them they must.
We need to quit acting ashamed of what is true and right and Constitutional. We will have to work harder than we should have to because we have been negligent in our duty — chasing rabbits and electing power grabbers rather than principled people.
There is always hope.
