While
the West slept, the end of the Enlightenment crept ever nearer.
A
vociferous and unstable minority declared that there are an infinite number of
genders, that a person is any one (or more) of these genders he/she/they says
he/she/they is, that removing or adding body parts from/to young people is
“gender-affirming care,” that abortion is “health care for women,” that
Capitalism is bad and Marxism good despite the opposite being inarguably true
for as long as both have existed, that unlimited and unvetted illegal migration
enriches us, that diversity is our greatest strength, and that Islam is “a religion
of peace.” Among other preposterous and existentially dangerous claims. (“The
vaccines are safe and effective. As are facial masks. Stay at least six feet
away from everyone else. Don’t go outside. COVID-19 came from a
wet-market/bat/pangolin. China has been very helpful. Dr. Fauci is a saint.”)
And
still, a great many of our elites and “authorities” cling to these ridiculous
assertions. No one in power then has apologized. And they never will.
Enter
Trump, 2.0. He has secured the border, beat back “wokeism,” fought the Deep
State, and attempted to Make America Great Again, despite almost unimaginable
attacks, figurative and literal, from his political opponents. No other modern
president has ever had the courage to do what Trump has done. And that’s another
reason why some of his political opponents want to kill him. You see, when he
shows such temerity, character, courage, and resolve to get things done, it
makes some of them feel inadequate. Shamed. Perhaps even guilty. In this way, Trump
Derangement Syndrome (TDS) feeds itself. It’s a doom loop. And a dumb one.
Trump’s
boldness and courage seem to have inspired a few leaders in countries such as
Italy, Japan, and Argentina, and those who support them.
However,
it is easier to sleep than to wake up. It requires far less effort and courage
to continue to slumber rather than rise and face the slings and arrows of each
newborn day.
Jesus
was crucified. Lincoln was assassinated. Reagan nearly so. Trump was shot in
the head. And yet he stands and leads. As does his republic, albeit sometimes shakily.
Rabid leftists stand, too. Ready to potentially assassinate Trump, his
supporters…and the Constitutional republic they so despise.
Sorry
if that offends you. But the truth is the truth, whether or not you and I wish
to acknowledge it.
