Last night was an attempt to intimidate ALL of the political 'Right'. For many years, the left has been aggressive and vicious - and the status quo GOP were mamby-pamby - and 'took the high road', never hitting back, never calling foul. Every time the right was in power they paid lip service to their constituents but never really rocked the boat.
The Tea Party was a first foray at getting the GOP to take action. They made some progress - not enough really. There was no "leader" to head the charge of freedom - it was a diverse movement - a start, but too disjointed. What I think they did accomplish was galvanizing Trump to step into the ring. The billionaire who loves his nation - I think he needed to see that there were people out in the nation to stand with him.
Now, there are a LOT of "America First" people across this nation - they know they are not alone - they know we are really the majority - Trump's term showed us there is a LOT we can do. Energy independence, low unemployment, higher wages, lower taxes, secure borders - all this and more was possible - and people began to dream again. To dream of Reagan's 'shining city on a hill' - of JFK's vision of freedom.
Now, we terrify the left. With Trump as the harbinger of change - the masses have been activated. They know this nation is supposed to be a bright light of abundance and hope - and we were on that path - the left stole it from us. But, Twitter, independent news reporters, political activists like Scott Pressler, Project Veritas, etc - have made it easier to raise awareness.
Trump's momentum is growing - so the left tried to slap us all back - and last night was supposed to scare the bejeezus out of us all - scare us back into submission and subservience while the left and the RINOs run roughshod over the nation - with their globalist buddies to enslave humanity.
They miscalculated - and they over played their hand. It's time - they have pulled the tail of the sleeping lion. It's time to stand as patriots, as Americans - and say "No - the left will not cow us any longer - and we will not allow you to corrupt our children, their futures or our lives any longer."
Time will tell if last night was 'the shot heard 'round the world' or less - but I think this will not end well for the left.
