People who think we need a George Washington to save us don’t realize GW couldn’t get elected today....

True enough.  But thank God we had a "savior" like George Washington in the Revolutionary War and as President in the early years of our republic.

Different times require a different sort of person.  One of the things I respect President Trump for is he'd rather NOT take the job as President.  But he feels it's his duty to do help Save America and is risking his life and much more to support We the People in this dark hour of our Nation.

Every generation requires a George Washington, a Winston Churchill, and countless veterans of foreign and domestic wars to step up.

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a terrific piece about the magnetism of George Washington which I turned into a little meme.  Click here to see and read the meme full screen.  See if you think Emerson's words still ring true today...

I agree that each era needs a unique influencer.

Trump isn’t perfect, but he WAS perfect to defeat Hillary. A laughed-off underdog to which many of us gave our full support.

Trump today isn’t the same influencer he was in 2016. He wasn’t even the same in 2020.

The leftist media and weaponized fed has done an outstanding job of vilifying Trump, and not only damaged his chances at reelection, but also laid a “plausible” narrative for any shenanigans used to defeat him. (see: 2020)

Our best bet is a unifier with broad appeal. Broad appeal comes from unifying issues, such as combating the tranny agenda and wokeism. DeSantis has done both in spades, and hasn’t been hammered in the media as Satan for the past 8 years.
