OPINION:
It’s been an awesome few days for patriotic Americans who’ve been wondering what happened to their country, their land of free, their constitutional system of law and order under Democrat control, and who’ve just now handed one of the most significant pro-liberty mandates since Ronald Reagan days to a Make America Great Again guy, Donald Trump.
But make no mistake: the fight hasn’t ended. This is just the beginning of four more years of hard fighting.
It’s not as if Democrats say to themselves, whoops, Trump won, the voters have spoken, they’ve told us loud and clear that they hate our policies so it’s time to change. Nope. Never. Quite the opposite.
With Democrats, whose god is one day Mother Nature and the next, Anthony Fauci — with Democrats, it’s all about the here and now. It’s always about the political. It’s forever and ever about winning and scoring on planet earth; about taking names and destroying enemies. It’s never about the afterlife — about considering that there is an accountability to come — about realizing that yes, while politics do matter, godly governance matters more.
Democrats are the ones who tried to remove God from their party platform. And though unsuccessful, they still govern with that “hate God” mentality.
They worship power and whoever stands in their way of winning that power is an identified enemy to clobber.
The signs are already there that Democrats aren’t going to learn any lessons from their electoral drubbing, but rather continue, albeit in different ways, to shove their anti-America, unconstitutional, Marxist-slash-communist-slash-collectivist agendas down an unwilling citizenry’s throat.
“Democratic leaders in states prepare to counter Trump in his second term,” PBS Wisconsin wrote.
“Senate Democrats need a strategy to fight against Trump’s Cabinet picks,” MSNBC News wrote.
“Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Here’s the Plan to Fight Back,” Time Magazine wrote.
“Democratic governors and AGs prepare for battle,” CNN wrote.
“Democratic states prepare to be on front line against Trump’s policies,” LeMonde wrote.
But here’s the thing: It’s not Trump policies they’re bucking so much as it is pro-America policies.
Trump stands for securing America’s borders; securing America’s prosperity with common sense energy, tax and business policy; securing America’s safety with solid policing and law enforcement support; securing America’s Constitution with an emphasis on blind justice, equal justice and court systems that aren’t weaponized against the law; and basically all that puts America First with foreign policy.
These are not partisan ideas.
These are really unifying principles that benefit all citizens, regardless of skin color, regardless of personal economies, regardless of sex, regardless of any demographics.
That’s why Democrats hate them. They can’t exploit them for political gain. They can’t turn these principles into daggers they then throw at voters to create divisions and jealousies and chaos.
So they fight the America First. They rally to defeat the Make America Great Again.
“Democratic Governors Join Forces to Resist Trump’s Extreme Policies,” The Nation wrote.
“Trump resistance rises in states led by Democratic governors,” The Hill wrote.
“Democratic governors create group to resist Trump policies,” Reuters wrote.
Conservatives won big on Election Day. MAGA took a big bow and patriotic Americans have been walking around since November 6 with huge smiles on their faces.
But the joy won’t last. Democrats are already rallying and strategizing for their collective rebellions and uprisings. Team Resistance is already forming among the left’s faithful followers.
They may not talk up Russia collusion, pee tapes and prostitutes. But they will talk up something just as seedy — just as salacious — just as unfounded. If it’s one thing America can count on from Democrats it’s that they never fail to fight the endless fight. No matter what voters say — they just don’t care. With them, it’s power — or die. That is their way. It’s in their DNA.
It’s important not to be surprised, so as not to lose heart, so as not to lose faith, so as not to lose faith and quit.
