Let’s be honest folks

  • March 19, 2024

You know you like Trump, even if you hate him.  And I know the reason why.  Your parents taught you to be humble and not brag about yourself, even in those instances when it was warranted.  In school, your teachers routinely took you down a peg if you thought you were better than the guy who sat next to you.  If you felt you knew more than your teacher and showed it, you got detention and a letter about your behavior was sent home with you to your father. In Boy Scouts, the Scoutmaster encouraged teamwork, and so did your high school football coach.  Individual sports were also “team-driven” sports, and any wins that accrued were shared accomplishments with other team members.  Classic.

This confused you.  Where was the team approach? Well, you read all the books on How to Win Friends and Influence People, and then The Art of the Deal.  While you liked them all, you were torn about following that seemingly larger-than-life example of typical American drive, Donald Trump.  He shocked you from time to time by his outlandish pronouncements and his imperfections, but you soon realized that he had a formula that worked for him and for America and you admired him in secret (because your friends were berating anyone who liked him).

But the unvarnished truth is that you liked him because deep down, you know in your heart that Donald Trump is the personification of what Americans have been all about for a couple hundred years: bold, brash, full of bravado, fearless, driven, confident, risk-takers, and unapologetic for their triumphs.

However, you couldn’t sign on to it just yet because you weren’t brought up that way by your loved and close ones. Everyone who supported him was on the good and decent people’s hit list.  And because you wanted to stay out of the fight and not risk losing friends or family members to a political disagreement, you kept your mouth shut. Predictable.

But it’s now become impossible for you to keep quiet.  You’ve seen how petty jealousy, envy, and the power-crazed political elites have targeted him for destruction, and if they succeed, you figure, they could come after you, too.  So you’re now taking a different tack no matter his attitude and fearlessness.  You’ve decided that being proud of America, her accomplishments and the principles that made those accomplishments possible, is nothing to apologize for.  You’re now willing to risk personal loss to achieve a more profound and lasting gain.  You’re okay with losing a few friends due to political differences.

Let’s face it folks. It is high time to wake up, stand for what you truly believe in deep in your heart, and push back. If not, your life is nothing but dust in the wind.
