Washington Post: Trump Saying The Government Should Protect Americans Is ‘Dark’
Posted on 2/26/26 at 2:23 am

quote:
Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that the core idea of government is that it exists for a specific group of people (citizens) to secure their rights: “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
quote:
President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address took a “darker” turn when the president asked members of Congress to affirm that the federal government’s primary responsibility is to protect Americans rather than illegal aliens.
quote:
The sentiment the Post describes as “dark” has been shared by other presidents too, notably Democrat darling Jimmy Carter. Carter said during a 1978 speech that “the first duty of a government is to protect its own citizens.
The left wouldn't like Jefferson either, because they hate America and Americans. They're guided by whoever or whatever is attempting a global coup.
Whether it's the WEF or China or some alliance of enemies - western civilization is in grave danger and nearly defeated.

This is the core historical reason people form governments.
Common defense. It's the original form of collectivism.
If it doesn't protect the ones who formed it and pay for it, then it has lost its reason to exist.

The only protection that we the people need … is from our own government.
… as afforded under the Constitution

Exactly. Every time people see some career welfare recipient they need to remember this statement.

I thought that what my taxes were originally for my well being not some illegal aliens well being.

The only purpose of government is to work for common good of the people that formed and fund it. We have strayed very far from that concept and I feel like our government treats us like we are beneath and work for them.

Trump is America First ant is absolutely galls the globalists.

There is only one nation which embodies western civilization in a historical and cultural sense as of 2026 and Trump/MAGA is the only thing between them and total victory.
That’s why the legacy media reacts as they do: they’re desperately trying to finalize here what they accomplished over there a decade ago.
The globalists successfully conquered everything else and Western European males lack the will to sustain a fight against that agenda.
We will have to defeat it here and win it back for them as our grandfathers and great grandfathers did in the 20th century or the west in a traditional sense will be end at our borders.

Lol a WP Bolshevist is mad about Trump, shocking.

But the Dems told me that “common sense gun control” is for my safety.

/\ THIS /\ is as good a synopsis of competent and moral governmental intent as I have seen.

Intentionally or not, most of the various "aid" programs have morphed into promoting that effect - so much so that it appears to have become a 'feature' rather than an 'error'
It has become the Democrats ONLY discernible motive - they have NOTHING else to offer other than "let us help you become dependent on OUR good intentions for the rest of your life."

It was political theatrics and I wouldn’t have stood to entertain it no matter where I land on the political spectrum. That said it’s a weird statement anyways. If a foreign tourist is shot you can bet the police are going to get involved. Non-citizens still get constitutional rights while here. Etc.

I think that is Trump’s point of exposing the democrats at that moment.

Yet another one our greatest allies. Every. single. time.

I don’t know what email chain you got that from but it’s not correct. Read DC vs Heller, it is an individual right (not your bullshite “not written to grant permission to own and bear firearms”)

Written by a globalist cuck. It’s amazing to me to see how the WEF have used the Muslim invasion to push their authoritarian agenda. What will they do with them if they achieve victory? They have to know that these Muslims will never bow to the “Council of 300.”

Don’t you dare blame that certain group that gets you 109 downvotes easy when they are criticized. We have a bunch of pussies in this country. I’m not hiding their bullshite anymore. Downvote away.
