Prioritization of Liberty-Minded Maneuvers

On Donald Trump:

An interesting aspect to the Donald Trump presidency is that people are referring to what happened as a “coalition,” and while the lack of options coupled with a nose-holding desperation of many who voted for the guy may be considered “cooperative,” viewing it as an active underlining driving factor and theme is, at best, delusional; a far cry from an active political coalition. What coalesced into Donald Trump’s presidency cannot be viewed as an active alliance or movement with an underlining platform, because it’s not. It was not a principle-based move; his candidacy represented, more or less, a convergence of cultural and security concerns; a small-medium labor rebellion against the Democrat Establishment, a wide-spread anti-establishment rebellion on the part of Republicans, and an open opposition against leftist anti-American sentiments (this latter helping with the state and local-level victories across America).

The Donald, for as much people try to call him a fool, was particularly wise for tapping into this because his intentions were to be a protest candidate – that’s it – he wanted to bring awareness to a few issues he felt strongly about; stepping off the platform where he announced his candidacy his intentions were to force professional politicians to discuss matters that were important to Americans. He had no real plan, he didn’t study in-depth the roles of the office, and he didn’t care because, when it started, he didn’t think he had much of a chance. Trump said these things himself when remarking on it. When his style blasted him to the top of the list, however, things needed to change. Thus, the campaign took his positions to express the lamentations of the people concerned about these expressed array of issues without specifically addressing how they’d resolve them; drawing from the fear and doubts they represented and offering that these concerns would be high on the official priority list under a Trump Presidency. For what he had as a platform, it was to give voice to an America that thought it had lost it; but his victory was predicated on his offensive style.

Repetition was the key of maintaining the supporters, focus on what they want addressed and build on it; vague or no, this population sample was desperate for a non-politician who wanted to address their concerns. His platform was simplistic, and not likely to provide him an upset presidency – so, he exploited one of the greatest vulnerabilities of the left: perception. As a man who has been in the spotlight his entire life, and has many friends in the media and political establishments and a business mogul himself, understanding this is a part of success in that world. Media and politicians care about perception because their employment is predicated on deception, sleight of hand, and they’re using emotional cognition as a means to override sensible discussion (IE: the Marxist Three: Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia). In other words: theater. That’s why they love actors so much because that’s what they’re doing: acting. Take note when they thought Clinton had it in the bag they discussed accepting the results of the election, outraged that anyone would question the legitimacy of the system. And then she lost. Riots, looting, and protests across the country. People dressing up as giant vaginas in protest and expecting to be taken seriously…

He launched an offensive meant to outrage them so that they’d respond in a manner that both reveals their deeper nature and is likely to incite them to continue their self-destructive behavior – that was the key play in it all, the same strategy he’s using right now with Twitter. As it’s true in War it’s also true in Politics and Society: the aggressor establishes the rules.

If they’re playing by your rules, you win the game.

In their attempts to dismantle him they gave him all the spotlight time he’d ever need – their vitriol revealed their deep distaste for American Values, and their childish emotionally-driven responses pushed people away. The Clinton controversy was of little consequence, in truth – she has enough controversy and a list of treachery so long if put to print it’d wrap around the equator twice. He established uncompromising positions which forced the hand of the left to adopt uncompromising positions – many of these positions betrayed their own constituency, but they didn’t care; their power was being challenged, they were being attacked! They had to respond!

And that’s the catch.

Trump’s victory represents some very significant things regarding the attitude and position of America, but what it doesn’t represent is an actual alliance or movement. It’s an important distinction for the more Classical Liberal/ Individual Liberty persons and for the Donald Trump Supporters to bear in mind. For the latter, your “coalition” isn’t nearly as powerful as you keep suggesting it is – using numbers of the election to support your claims. They’re both generalized and not representative of the underlining demographics that coalesced behind Trump. For the Individual Liberty peeps, it doesn’t mean America has wholesale turned their back on the principles inherent in our Legal Establishment, nor does it mean that those who saw advantages in the Trump Maneuver do not hold Liberty dear to their hearts.

The Election Indicators

At this point, having prefaced this with my interpretation of Donald’s legitimate presidency, I’d like to quote Arwen Evenstar from TPC ( https://www.teapartycommunity.com/profile-67946/link-id_2709303/ ): “In this election, many insisted the greater struggle was against the liberal agenda. Others said it was against the threat of Islam. Others said it was the poisoning infiltration of anti-American illegals. Those factions put all else aside and joined a greater coalition in the name of Trump voters. I submit they identified the obvious threats while being completely oblivious to the insidious threat that is devouring this country like a cancer.”

The Corruptocrats in Washington D.C. and their power-hungry lust for absolute and unquestionable hegemonic domination is what I’m going to assume she’s referring to (correct me if I’m wrong, Arwen). In that there is an underlining theme in many of these concerns that effectively resulted in Trump’s Presidency: we, as Americans, have a hard time acknowledging that other Americans are the enemy. Politics aside, the very notion makes people uncomfortable. Even with opposition against the wholly anti-American leftist agenda; usually the matter is psychologically displaced onto Soros or Western Europe and they’re seen as “puppet masters” instead of placing the blame where it truly belongs. Therefore, I keep making that necessary distinction between Country and Nation because the only way to address this problem is to identify who our enemies truly are and hold them accountable for their treachery or, in the least, posses a greater understanding of the interacting elements (also identifying what makes them an enemy, they should be presented with the option of repentance before arriving to the consequences; and group mechanisms justifiably require such distinctions).

Overall, the theme is that Islam, Terrorism, Immigration, etc., are the greatest threats when these things do not even come close to constituting the same threat as American Progressives/Imperialists; not even in the same ballpark. In fact, these concerns are largely used as tools of the greater internal threat. It’s displacement – that’s it – America cannot face that we’re in the midst of a Cold Civil War and in War you have enemies. These issues and the positions they take on them are WHY most “conservatives” despise the Left – openly in wonder as to how leftists could “think that’s a good idea.” Conservatives refuse to face the fact that the left knows what they’re doing, they know the dangers, and they accept them because they’re enemies of the Republic, literally – not figuratively or politically – but in open opposition to the principles and construction of our body politic while seeking to use maneuvers to undermine its integrity as to bring it to its ruin. Conservatives face each issue one-at-a-time instead of recognizing that the anti-American leftist platform is part of a greater agenda with a single unifying theme: the destruction of the American Republic. They choose their platform on the premise of undermining the integrity of the Republic – we choose ours on our beliefs. Ours is based on principle and personal conclusions – theirs is based on an overarching agenda; which is why the left is more unified. They’re an Army in rank and file while the rest of Americans are playing checkers.

It’s not a conspiracy, some secret room drawing where they all decide their place in some grand plan, it’s an overall hatred of American Values as a baseline to ideological fanaticism (think religion). Their ideological roots oppose everything America stands for and so they will naturally coalesce around maneuvers that are likely to harm her. If you believe in the holier-than-thou central authority, the untouchable wisdom of the system, and so seek to consolidate and centralize political powers unto an elite few at the expense of the many – Liberty needs to go. The American Republic, in principle, stands for Liberty. So, the American Republic has got to go as a prerequisite. And here we are…

Address the fire in the house or down the street?

Ultimately, it comes down to addressing the concerns that constitute the greatest threat to the lives, liberties, and private properties of ourselves and our posterity the same. Our posterity being a BIG piece of the pie in regards to responsibility of current generations – if we truly care about what we’re handing the future, we’re going to have to make some very serious and difficult decisions that come AT OUR EXPENSE, but favor the little ones yet to come. This arrives in both the need to address our spending and debt along with our need to address the anti-American left. We need to acknowledge that if this is going to get ugly, we’d rather it be on our watch and not effectively converging into our grandsons and granddaughters being caught in the crossfire down main street.

As such, while terrorists are concerning, and sleeper cells are more significant than they’re letting you know – the issue is |Comparatively| irrelevant to the larger problems we’re faced with. Statistically the numbers are so low compared to the nation-wars within the American Country that if we decided to slaughter every Muslim in America to rid ourselves of potential internal threats, we’d barely notice the expense. Certainly, they represent a potential threat, a threat that should be watched carefully; but when it comes to PRIORITIZING the severity of our problems – terrorism is far from top of the list.

Immigration is a concern and is far higher on the list than terrorism in regards to severity. Internal domestic agencies are appealing to non-state actors to undermine the integrity and longevity of the Union of these United States. Although investigations do not seem to be taking place, illegals voting is something that happens. I watched it first-hand here in Holyoke, Colorado; a town in the middle of nowhere. I literally watched known illegals drop the paper into the box. It happens. Far from their votes, however, is the greater expense they represent to society. Education systems to medical systems to exporting wealth to introducing hostile elements that put stressors on our law enforcement; the problem is widespread and nothing of moral value is addressed by betraying our posterity. If cheaper labor is a problem, then we acknowledge that minimum wage is a problem. Government interference into our lives is three-quarters the problem, but you know that. It’s those who oppose America who are outraged at “racism” against “undocumented immigrants,” who are inflamed at the very idea of requiring Voter Identification to make sure they’re someone who is at least a citizen of this country and therefore possess a right to vote (the underlining legitimacy of the modern state).

Alas, when regarding Immigration, a greater and truer threat comes to light. Illegal Immigration is a serious issue that should be addressed, most certainly, but what makes it a dangerous issue resides in the common underlining threat involved with all of these issues: American Progressivism. We know that illegals are effectively being used as a weapon against the Republic. Or to put it bluntly: Democracy is being used as a weapon to undermine the integrity of the Republic. (Although, in reality, we sealed the doom of the American Republic with the 17th Amendment; an act of institutional sabotage).

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.” ― Alexander Fraser Tytler
