re: Bottom line: There are not enough Patriots.

For months I have been screaming that Trump needed to take some decisive action to prevent the results we saw last week. This nation was built on a shared, moral and pious culture. That is the only environment in which it can flourish.

What made you think Trump was aligned with shared, moral, or pious ideals?

You were promised a red wave.

A blue wave arrived.

Why?

Red + Blue = Purple.

The color of royalty. The color of power.

You were told the Patriots were in control.

Now you demand the electorate be stripped of control.

Who was really being tested?

The voters?

Or those who only believed in democracy when it delivered the correct result?

The red wave was never meant to arrive.

It was meant to reveal.

The sequence remains intact.

The absence is the confirmation.

**S+**

Two fatal mistakes were made by the Trump administration. The first one was waiting until Midterms were upon us to push for the SAVE Act. The second mistake continues to this very day: zero arrests. A lot of bad people have done a lot of bad things and NO ONE has had to answer for anything. All this administration does is talk. Nothing ever happens.

Your diagnosis is correct, but there really isn't a solution.

- You form a country with 99% of views within a certain paradigm. In addition to moral/religious positions, these include other frameworks of the time, for example, that success might be viewed through the lens of a family rather than an individual, and might be measured over generations, after you're dead.

- This builds an incredibly rich and successful nation and culture. It's asked to rise to the occasion repeatedly, and does. The fruits of that follow.

- After WWII, we began to operate as though our liberal, pluralistic system could operate independently of the things that carried it.

- In the 60s and beyond, the erosion from that separation accelerated, and we began adding to it volumes of people who had none of the shared foundational things.

- And here we sit, running on the fumes off liberalism's inherited capital it can't regenerate for itself. The nation and culture were elastic, but we've far exceeded their walls, which have crumbled and no longer mean anything. This is why the creedal vs. ancestry debate is irrelevant - even as we went full bore "creedal" - we ceased asking anyone to adopt the creed.

There isn't any voting your way out of it - but there's not really any [insert more drastic thing] your way out of it either. The America you knew isn't coming back, ever. It's managed decline/damage control. The best case scenario is segmented communities of varying cultures benefitting from a governing, economic engine on top of them. Which might not be a bad life, but it won't be what you lost.

In other words, you aren’t a patriot like him. He wants to do what is necessary in order to win a war against others who are more than willing to do that.

Did the dems also post memes about it? 

---

No, they just waited until out of the exectutive office to do their photo ops. These photo ops then became memes made, not by government, but by citizens calling out the hypocrisy.

Sorry it rustled jimmies. In hindsight however, I would 10/10 do it again.

And Deportation ASMR videos? I think the Trump admin's proclivity for being assholes likely didn't make anything better for them electorally.

Not near as assholish as fake photos being circulated of border patrol whipping illegals.
Not near as assholish as spreading the claim that being illegal isn't a crime.

But yeah dawg, you do you. We have evidence happening right now, in western Europe of how this ends. Let's all enjoy the ride!

Stay strong Patriot, the night is darkest just before the dawn. With great power comes great responsibility. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.

I don’t need anyone to save me from anything. That you think that’s worth saying says way more about you than it does me.

I can’t tell you what I really want to because CircusChild has decided I’m too mean to you and I don’t want to get banned again.

So again, Daddy is protecting you from the bad guys.

He’s saying the government doesn’t need to help him out. Glad I could help you.
