We’ve only just begun.

Most Americans do not favor open borders.
Most Americans do not favor hiring based on race, gender or sexual orientation, preferring hiring and advancement based on merit instead. Affirmative action going back to when it first emerged under John F. Kennedy, has never enjoyed majority support.
Many Americans like their electric vehicles. But most of us oppose being told we have to either drive one or not drive at all.
Most Americans believe that the federal government is too big and too intrusive.
Most of us oppose biological men competing in women’s sports. And by a very large margin, most of us are appalled at the very thought of mutilating children via gender surgery.
Speaking of children, most of us believe that sex education of any kind – straight, gay, trans or whatever – has no place in kindergarten.
Most of us believe that criminals should be punished, with the severity of the punishment rising proportionately to the seriousness of the crime. We, most of us, further believe that arrested suspects that have a clear propensity for repeat offense should at the very minimum have to post bail to be let out of jail pending trial.
Most of us believe – indeed the core principles upon which our nation was founded state – that justice should be blind and that using the justice system to persecute political enemies threatens the very foundation of the republic.
These positions stand solidly in the mainstream of American ethos.
And yet…
Millions of poor, social services-dependent migrants are in the country illegally, most of them having arrived in just the past four years.
Hiring, contracting and college admissions based on immutable characteristics like race or gender have crowded out merit in major companies and top universities across the country.
Repeat offenders are walking the streets of our major cities.
That the Department of Justice was weaponized by the Obama and Biden administrations for political purposes is now indisputable.
The federal government has gotten bigger and more intrusive with each successive administration (save for the deregulation push of Trump’s first term).
Had Kamala Harris won the 2024 election we’d all still be looking at being eventually forced to buy an electric vehicle, the blatant unfairness of men competing in women’s sports would be continuing apace, government would continue to grow and we’d have little recourse against leftist educrats pushing sex onto our grade schoolers.
Mainstream as we normals believe ourselves to be, it is undeniable that a small group of elitists living mostly on the coasts have been very successful at advancing hard left policies that defy majority opinion.
And that’s why we have been so giddy watching Donald Trump move with amazing speed to unravel the far left lunacy of the cosmically awful Biden administration.
Being happy right now is fine. But as my dad used to say, don’t get cocky.
The committed leftists that pushed these radical policies so successfully for so long have not gone away. They do not intend to surrender. They are momentarily on the back foot following Trump’s decisive victory. But they will regroup.
The fight’s not over.
It’s just begun.
If you really do not want more government intrusion you need to start with the children and teach them all through preschool to graduation, basically what the left has been doing pushing their agenda. The children need to know that we are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC not a democracy! Not what the left pushes. People get their drawers in a wad when you tell them that what the left has done to brainwash children is exactly what Hitler did. He had children as young as 2 taken away from their parents so that he could have them raised as “good little Nazis”, so what the left has been doing all this time is following Hitler’s lead.
I remember obama saying he wished he had a youth group like the “Brown shirts”. Most younger people don’t even know WHO the Brown shirts were. Most were comprised of those children taken away from their parents and made into “good little nazis”. The concept was right, but how hitler did it was not. BUT for years the left has been doing this starting with preschool. Children are sponges and pick up things you would be surprised to know. Why do you think these “gender” people want to start in preschool? The younger they are, the easier they are to mold them into what is wanted…why do you think that “story time” given to these kids are by trans people?
So, if you REALLY want to change things get started in preschool (like the left does) and teach the children the TRUTH!
I know this was sent before the plane crash, had to have been. I voted for President trump, but he was wrong to make the plane crash political. Was devastated as my family has been through similar experiences. IT IS DREADFUL that he could not wait even a day for the families to come to grips with what has happened to their loved ones. I expected better from Mr. Trump but he wanted to make it political. In part, I blame computers. We get instant answers and have for years. LIE DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. ….WE DO KNOW THIS
Now all we have to do is get passed these idiot Federal Judges that hate America
