Part 11 – THE VICTORY LAP
In closing, I would like to charge each and every Trump voter to join me in a somewhat difficult task. I am proud to have been part of this grassroots effort to rip the political elite from power, but I refuse to take a victory lap in a gloating or demeaning way. I also refuse to take it alone. I will not celebrate what I consider a great victory for my country unless I can find someone from “the other side” to go with me. I don’t want to celebrate a personal victory. I want to celebrate a victory for America against the entire corrupt political establishment.
Get Your FREE Hat Now
I want those who are literally afraid of Trump to see it can be a victory for them too. As I said, they have things to be happy about. They have a Democrat President-Elect. They have witnessed the end of the RNC with all of its hateful dividing tactics. But they also have the same opportunity I have now. They have to opportunity to get outside the political elites’ plan for America. It is a plan that amounts to pure slavery for all Americans and many of their Democrat peers saw that plan clearly enough to vote against it. If we don’t get behind this opportunity TOGETHER, we waste it. Isn’t it better to try than to give up? After this election, I think we can all agree things can’t continue the way they are.
I pledge allegiance to YOU, my fellow American. I will be working to make our country great, hopefully with you at my side.

My Life as a Racist Sexist Bigot Homophobe
When I read this a year later, here’s what came to mind. No matter how many times someone profiles me for supporting Trump, I’m still not a Racist Sexist Bigot Homophobe. Being discriminated against in this whole new way is annoying, but very survivable. It was well worth the year of true progress we have experienced.
Give the Gift of TRUMP
Although there is plenty of news on both sides claiming the world is ending, daily life here in the United States with President Trump has been an ever-improving experience. The bad guys are still out there, very anxious to scare the cognitive process right out of all of us, but setting them aside for a moment, what is the reality of our daily lives? No one from either side is in a concentration camp. Our human rights are right where they were a year ago. There is more money circulating in every economic segment and its value is still there. Many more people have jobs and most people are living better. The Rule of Law is slowly but surely making its way back to protecting us from corrupt politicians and pedophiles alike. Our American prosperity is being protected.
Now if we could just stop the hating and seize the opportunity, we could make things even better. If the fake news is going to be left in charge of shaping the People’s feelings about their daily lives, they’ll do it in the way that makes them the most money. It is up to We the People to reach out to our fellow Americans and help them not only take advantage of the improvements that are being hidden from them by the bullhorns of the political herd-masters, but to get them to rejoin us in the common ground of our mutual prosperity. We, as individuals, must work to focus on the 80% of things 80% of us want. To do this, we must accept, and help others accept, the futility of having our attention captured by the 20% of things only 20% of us want. It is certain that 100% of us give up something if all the things we have are had only as permitted by law.
CLICK HERE TO ORDER
We must reject the urge to outlaw the things that are not right for us as individuals, reject the urge to have our desires written into law, and especially reject the urge to be a winner in a battle over it, because that is the leash the political elite hold most comfortably. We have to reject these things because we are a self-governing people. If we want to stay that way, we must always hold more power to choose for ourselves than we grant to the laws which constrain us all.
Beyond that, we must all acknowledge the recent years’ clear demonstration of a solidly proven reality of government: “Government is where the best hopes of the people go to die at the hands of a government employee.” Getting people to stand on that truism might just be the way forward, together.
