A Message From President Trump

LOL!

I’M SURE YOU’RE AN EXPERT ON BORING.

WHEN SOMETHING BORES ME I STOP READING IT.

IF YOU HAD WRITTEN SOMETHING TO THE AFFECT THAT YOU FOUND MY POST SO BORING THAT YOU STOPPED READING IT I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.

HOWEVER, YOU SAID MY POST WAS TOTALLY BORING. THAT MEANS FROM BEGINNING TO END, WHICH IMPLIES THAT AFTER YOU READ THE FIRST FEW BORING SENTENCES YOU READ IT TO THE VERY END, OR HOW COULD YOU CONCLUDE IT WAS TOTALLY BORING? WHY WOULD ANYONE DO SOMETHING AS DUMB AS READ AN ENTIRE POST THAT BORED THEM?

THEN I SAW YOUR POSTING HANDLE “Recovering Ex-hippie”,
AND I UNDERSTOOD.

“EX- HIPPIE”, MAKES SENSE AND IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND,
AS IS “RECOVERING HIPPIE” BUT THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO?

THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO EXPLAINS EVERYTHING ELSE.

What can I do? In the face of the coming storm, what constructive actions can we take to conserve what works and protect ourselves? Here are a few actionable solutions anyone can adopt at a personal or local level.

Find your tribe. Network, meet in person. Social media can’t censor what you say in private. This also helps you emotionally, since you’re meeting with people who support you instead of mistaking the digital lynch mobs for what matters.

Preserve conservative institutions like churches, schools and clubs. Fight social justice infiltration or pressure to submit to liberal political demands like, “you really need a BLM lecturer in here, you’ll be good if you throw up our political symbols”.
Educate. Teach your kids your values at an early age, by reading stories that share your values. Don’t let the kids go to drag queen story time or social justice story time. Protest if the school or daycare does this, or if you’re not able to do that, take your kid out and discuss the protest with other parents. Abilene Paradox – people wrongly think that the official dictate is what everyone agrees with because no one says anything against it.

Buy books that explain the conservative worldview and defend it like those by Dennis Prager. Buy books that explain why liberals and conservatives are different without demonizing them like Jonathan Haidt’s works. And start book clubs reading these books. Hello, tribe!

Fight any attempt to add social justice to codes of conduct. For example, the National Association of Realtors just implemented a policy where you can be fined or expelled for “hate speech”, public or private. Other organizations have weaker versions of this, but expect it to ramp up.

Law, medicine and social work already have rules regarding this, equating trust and respect and empathy to liberal values - so you can’t get licensed if you don’t agree. Fight this, if you don’t want to be kicked out of professional organizations if you don’t pass the liberal political litmus test.

Hire conservatives, because businesses are firing them. Assist those who have been fired for their beliefs.

2ndvote.com allows you to find conservative and neutral businesses that share your values.
You can even sort by category (restaurants, groceries, hardware, retail) or values (pro-life, 2nd amendment).

Do you like the local or national conservative talk show hosts? Buy the stuff they’re hawking, and especially use the reference or discount codes they provide. This will tell sponsors that this sponsorship is financially important to them. And that helps keep these shows on the air.

Clean your room. Sort yourself out. You can’t fix the world, but you can improve your own life and situation. Read Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University books. Get out of debt. Save up an emergency fund. If Biden’s cronies crash the economy, you’re in a much better situation. And you’re in a Christian group that can be the start of your tribe, or you can arrange classes at your church or with your networking groups to bring everyone closer together.

Encourage Sanctuary Cities/Sanctuary States on any issue you support. Second Amendment sanctuaries already exist. Pro-life Sanctuaries are far fewer but could spread. Support the groups that got these policies passed, and encourage such movements in your area. You may not be able to change federal tax and immigration policy, but you can try to preserve free speech if someone can implement a First Amendment Sanctuary law at a state level.

Use the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) college rankings on free speech to determine the least liberal schools in your area to send your kids to.
