I don’t like what we have become.

And when I say “we,” I mean Americans in general.

I don’t want an America divided by class, no matter how “class” is defined. I’m not a racist, a xenophobe, a bigot, or a “Christo-fascist” (whatever that is). But every day, people throw those terms at me and people like me, thinking they have won the debate.

I’m for creating an environment where people can succeed and help others do the same. I am not for taking from some to give to others.

But people like me fight every day against people who are protected from the true result of the actions they propose because government insulates them from its own failures as it slowly gobbles up America.

Even the programs they say people love and need — like Social Security and Medicare (which are mandatory, by the way) — are failures and underperform compared to what the free market has delivered in similar situations. People will deny this and claim the free market is too expensive and volatile, but the expense and volatility come from government distorting its own rules by expanding programs far beyond their original goals to try to escape the basic laws of economics.

The people they support qualify as artificial intelligence simply because any evidence of intelligence is truly artificial. Bad people make for bad governance.

Listen, I’m not blind to President Donald Trump’s successes, nor am I ignorant of his failures and excesses. But I am thankful for his unconventional approach to governance. I think he has made some mistakes while pursuing the right objectives, winning some and losing some, but most of which are successful resets and long-term actions that get lost in the leftist propaganda mill that runs 24/7/365.

The media will do anything and everything to minimize the positives and amplify the negatives.

Democrats and their allies in the media want you to think only about the short term — the next election — even as they openly promise to make the long term as painful as possible if they are returned to power and call that “progress.”

We need someone willing to burn the bad system down, and if he settles some scores in the process, all the better. It’s not like they haven’t tried to ruin him and his family, put him in jail, bankrupt his businesses, or even kill him.

I’m betting I’m not the only one thinking so.

If you don’t support the president, you must ask yourself what the alternative could be.

It sure as hell isn’t the old GOP or the libertarians who seem to find ways to make common cause with the Democrats and the Left. These are people who can’t stand that they can’t just keep the lovable loser lifestyle going and let the Democrats give them a few meaningless wins, but keep the money flowing.

The GOP allowed the government to violate the Constitution, thanks to about a century and a half of stretching it to fit every desire either political party thinks will result in durable power for their team.

And don’t be fooled: the Constitution has been disrespected and bent so far that a socialist state is entirely possible. They are already talking about kicking out the last stops. Once the Left openly and confidently talks about confiscating wealth — of any wealth level — the bit is out of the horse’s mouth. Given that most programs and policies are only missing the government taking control of the means of production, it is a short trip to a truly oppressive, authoritarian state.

And the Left has already sanctioned political violence, including murder.

Trump, at his worst, is no worse than the old baseline set by the establishment GOP, which was controlled by a bunch of neocon globalists. That baseline is still a long way from where the hammer-and-sickle Democrats are today.

His best represents a brand of politics and governance that wins and wins for all Americans, whether they like it or not.

We have just a few weeks before going to the polls.

Some people are hell-bent on selling their freedom (and yours) for promises that history has proven time and time again cannot be kept.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there are no complete solutions, only trade-offs — yet many voters see America as a perpetual cookie jar that other people keep filled.

That kind of thinking never ends well.
