I think you’re overstating the “Trump is a diety who will save us all” mindset of MAGA supporters. I feel many in this group believe Trump exposed the deep state and uniparty machines during his first term, which would never have happened absent his election. And they have hope that he will be more ruthless in paring it down in his second term. His election and Covid opened lots of eyes and ears and brains.

Maybe I'm overstating it but only a little bit because some MAGA people can't tolerate any criticism of Trump however slight and fact-based.

But my overstating serves its purpose - I want to prevent our side to develop a cultist mentality and a hive mind like on the Left, and to retain sanity and critical thinking.

Also, relying on any Big Daddy however good one instead of ourselves is harmful irresponsible and delusional imo.

Agreed, there are some ppl like that...they would have been in the "Moral Majority" back in the 80s (long story, I do not miss those days). But most are just over the stoopids the Democrat party has had the last 8-9 yrs. I grew up Democrat, that party blows now, not in the fun way. Won't do anything that benefits the US long-term, cause they despise what made this country the envy of the world. But they'll fix that.

Yeah, I am also disappointed with Democrat Party and I don't suggest to vote Denocrat. My point is to do more than vote and not just hope for Trump to solve everything.

I agree absolutely. We must every one of us stand up and do whatever we've been given to do to fight this battle, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. Whatever we are given each day to do, do it with courage and love, stand firm in speaking the truth, be a good steward of the gifts we have been given. For some of us this may just be speaking truthfully to friends and family members who are still blinded to what is going on in this world and country. For others it may be harder and scarier, risking our jobs or our reputation to stand firm for the truth. Every one of us has a responsibility now to stand up, to fight this fight alongside Trump and those others who are leading the charge. Thank you, Alex, for so faithfully doing you part.

As for this Trump supporter it’s not that I “can’t tolerate any criticism of Trump….” It’s that publicly doing so undermines his campaign by giving fodder to the cabal against him.

Seeing those GOP names lined up opposing him is the wall of shame Deep State/Swamp he opened our eyes to. As disgusted as I am seeing them actively attacking the one person standing for Americans against open borders & the rest I’m glad we now have a (partial) list of just who they are.

With deep state Republicans, mass media, globalists, corrupt courts, et al against Trump we don’t need more.

Plus I don’t believe anyone I know who supports him thinks he’s our savior; everyone in my circle already has our Savior.

We just believe Trump is the only one who has the courage & guts to stand up against this cabal of destruction & he needs all of us in his corner. Not worshipers, not dependents, but activists on every level promoting his polices & leadership.

(Also clear…. we are thinking folks who research & are informed - not robots - so ewe will disagree with each other & with him at times. I’m saying major on the majors! MAGA & MAHA on Nov.5!)

Perhaps you shouldn't think in terms of 'any critics of him feeds the other side' - it's a toxic way of thinking which stifles indeed any fact-bases critics. It's how the Left became how they're, hive mind, or mindless cult - because they were afraid to critisize their own not to feed us. Do you want us to turn into the same cultist shit?

Also, one man can't possibly win against the whole system even if he's good and genuine. If you believe Trump could, it's a harfmful delusion I'm fighting against here. Trump already tried to drain the swamp back in 2016 and failed to do so. What makes you think he'd be more successful now when the Left have much more power than back in 2016?

You need also to unlearn a toxic concept that voting is the only thing we could do and start thinking of other ways like general strike and civil disobedience.

Again, WHAT would you do if DemoNrats would cheat again or assassinate Trump? Obey their new tyranny or fight? What if Trump would fail again? Why aren't you even asking those questions? Why ALL you think of is just how to elect Trump and rely on him instead of what YOU could do in addition to voting?

I'm 100% voting won't change shit. Most likely Trump wouldn't even get elected and even if he would, the best he could do is to postpone the destruction a little bit but NOT to stop it. To stop it we people need to rise. We should start doing so by abandoning the toxic delusion that voting still works.

I absolutely agree. Trump is not the/my Savior. He is the monkey wrench in the government machine. He can stop their progressive progress for a time. But like Alex says, we must pick up the mantle and move it forward. Having a consortium of big name people like Elon, Joe Rogan, RFK Jr, Telsa Gabbard, and more. Who are on the side of thwarting the left and their agenda. I’m all in with this idea of organizing a new movement away from the 2 old parties. But it would certainly help if Trump gets elected. But if not 😬😬, it’s not the end of the fight!!

Well said and so true. What if we could get rid of the Executive and Judicial branch, and revise the Constitution to mirror the intent of America’s original Constitution, the Articles of the Confederation? The Executive office could be “Office of the Figurehead” – a diplomatic post with no federal agencies governing domestic affairs that should be in the hands of sovereign states. The Judicial branch could be more like a 50-state council for the few interstate/intrastate issues that come up. Basically, we would be united for national defense and foreign affairs, but all matters domestic would go to sovereign state jurisdictions. Let like-minded people live amongst like-minded and blue states might find that they are running out spending other’s people’s money with the federal funding gone and need to change. And, we would have no presidential elections! And, no federal elections since all Congressional delegates are governered/paid for by their state.

What were the big deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation? A common money supply and lack of communication among the states – not issues today. The problem is, too many politicians and people want to be dependent on the government. As historian Alexander Tytler noted, dependency is the last cycle of any democracy (or Constitutional republic that doesn’t follow its Constitution) before tyranny.

I agree with you, even though I have voted for Trump twice and will definitely vote for him again, I have never considered him a “savior”. I do, however , consider electing him as a means of slowing down and hindering those who are trying to make the country into a communist country.

Having said that, I agree with you that we must fight for our freedoms in this country. It is becoming increasingly obvious that we are way behind in this contest. We have allowed the communist to take control of our most vital institutions and we have allowed them to destroy the divine institution of marriage and the nuclear family.

Now we are in extremis and now we want to know what to do.

I would not want to publicly discuss resistance plans, but simply suggest that we must refuse to consent to be governed by any federal administration that was not duly elected and that does not follow our constitution, even if they were duly elected!!!

We can vote ourselves into the slavery of communist tyranny but we will have to fight our way out of it. We had better make sure that we do not vote our way into it. That is why we better vote for Trump and hope that the election is not fraudulent.

We are on the precipice of communist tyranny. A vote for Harris is a vote for communist tyranny. It is not just that she is a communist. The ones who have been pulling Biden’s puppet strings are communist and they will be pulling Harris’s puppet strings as well. She is a communist but not a capable one. The puppeteers are definitely smart communist. They have successfully fooled the American public for a long time.

When voting doesn’t work because our votes were either not counted or canceled by a large number of fraudulent votes we have no alternative but to go beyond voting.

Nothing is more important than the integrity of our elections. We have wasted the last four years hoping that we can vote our way out of this mess that was the result of , what many of us believed was a fraudulent election. Even if we were wrong , and I do not think we were, we should have insisted upon making absolutely sure that this election would be fair beyond a reasonable doubt. But we did not do that, did we?

I agree. And today it is going to be difficult to discuss the different things we are going to do because doing so will give those fraudulently elected people inside information.

I will state that anyone who has ever done any kind of leading other knows that the success of their leadership depends upon the consent and cooperative willingness to follow.

Any and every administration depends upon our obedience whether it is willing obedience or forced. We do not have to consent to be governed. We can and must exercise civil disobedience.

Take COVID as an example. We could have rejected the vaccines and we could have refused to obey the “mask Mandate” and we could have gone to church in defiance of the orders to not gather for worship.

What would the feds do if practically half of the nation refused to pay taxes until they investigate election fraud?

What would they do if we had elected enough courageous representatives that would refuse to finance the government until our demands for legislation were met.

There are many way to refuse to be governed and I will not discuss them all. But we, in my opinion, should be prepared to refuse our consent to be governed by any one fraudulently elected. They depend on our obedience and I suggest that we not willingly obey them.

I ask myself this question everyday. Trump can’t be the only one. If he wins, he needs to build a coalition FAST. That is what I was hoping Project 2025 would be used for. The DeepState beat him to the punch and made it radioactive. He’s losing before he even wins. If he loses, it’s over anyway. The feckless republicans will never win anything again.

MAGA, which Trump claims to be the greatest movement in the history of the Republic, all brimming with personal can-do confidence, is strangely lacking in self-confidence as a people. Many with real combat experience-- those we expect to set and enforce boundaries, borders, and standards-- are simply standing down, paralyzed to fight back against the massive invasions of rights, security, privacy, elections, and autonomy unleashed by the Harris-Biden Regime. And those who claim to be leaders simply lead us to their next rally, podcast, book, interview, etc. Both the regime AND its putative opponents have succeeded in "atomizing" citizens, turning us into a mass of isolated individuals, unable to work together, to confide in each other, or do much of anything at their own initiative.

The result is predictable: the population becomes weak, lacks self-confidence, and is incapable of resistance. As Americans, we need to confront our WEAKNESS as a people who have been outsourcing their fighting to our elites and their professionals since VietNam, get up and take a few punches. Because all we are doing now is getting kicked while we are down.

Actually no, most of us who are voting for Trump don’t have a savior complex. We’ve just been around long enough to know ( when I was born Truman was president), that he gives us the best chance to change the direction of the country’s Progressive march off of the cliff. Life can often serve up some challenging side dishes of irony with our entrees. We’re well aware of Trump’s character flaws, but for fucks sake he’s clearly our last best electoral chance to save the nation. And do I come to this because I’m a slavish devotee in a personality cult? No, just a wizened senior citizen who somewhere along the line learned to separate wheat from chaff and has learned there is no perfection. But in the spirit of cheekiness and irony, and in my zeal to ‘get out the vote’, I will borrow some slick rhetoric from a two term former president who still has his legions of brain addled devotees. “ We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

Well, Trump had his chance to save America already back in 2016, yet he failed, why? Note that first two years from 2016 to 2018 he had BOTo Republican House and Senate at his disposal - a unique opportunity to bring a change! Yet it didn't happen. Why?

My point is that we perhaps should unlearn the old concept that voting is the only thing we could do. Nope, voting doesn't work anymore. All system us completely hijacked by the WWF billionaire elite and Big Corp like Black Rock and one man even if he's genuine can't possibly defeat all that.

Hence we should stop looking up to Trump and take our future into our own hands. General strike. Grassroots movement. Civil disobedience.

Seems to me Trump had some good ideas but he was ill-advised by bureaucrats of and agents for the alphabet government departments, eg Fauci. The minions of these departments refused to follow Trump's explicit directives (as they had previously done for other presidents) and hence the Swamp had to be drained. Hopefully if he gets a second chance he will be better advised by experienced and capable persons such as RFK jr and many others. Maybe he will also receive better support from the core of the Republican Party.

Speaking from the opposite side of the pond, we don't have a Trump figure to love/hate, but the question is still valid. How do we live in a world that increasingly does not allow deviation from an imposed narrative that is bent on our destruction?

I think the answer begins at home and works outwards: yourself, your family, health, fitness, education, debate, connection, and a certain amount of fearlessness in asking difficult or even apparently stupid questions.

As Matt Thornton says, the martial art BJJ works because it is 'live' -you can't fake it, you can't rehearse it, and you can't pretend it. So endeavour to live life in the most immediate, authentic and scrupulously honest manner you're capable of. Be 'live'.

This is especially true for Christian religious right folks .

Even in landslide Presidential victories like Nixon in ‘72, Reagan in ‘80, ‘84 not much changed . A US Conservative ( White) President doesn t control any media , academia , not really the Central Bank or high finance ( Larry Fink , Soros, Goldman Sacks )

The Washington Post Woodward and Bernstein negated a Nixon 49 out of 50 state landslide victory in ‘1972 counties versus IMO a trivial Watergate scandal where no one was killed or raped .

Yeah, exactly, you're spot on. My article is against this Messianic religious attitude when people believe just one man would save them all and all they need to do is to elect him into an office. That beats me. It didn't teach them that Last time the same nan failed to do so. It doesn't occur to them that it might not be in the power of one man even to defeat the whole corrupt system funded by trillions if dollars. They still can't think beyond voting, and it's just sad.

Had you seen comments to my article? Most comments are like 'what do you propose, to vote DemoNrat?' So people don't even PRETEND to think beyond voting and to at least consider what are they gonna do if Trump is assassinated, not elected or failed again. Nope, all they think of is 'Trump 2024'. At this point it's just tragic.

And how are we gonna save America and the world when most people aren't ready to do anything but vote? Apparently if Trump isn't elected they'd just despair and give up because they put all their hopes in him.

Perhaps it's religious thing indeed. As not a Christian, I'm not affected by this toxic kind of thinking. I'm not waiting for 'Savior' or 'Messiah' and take my future in my own hands. I wish more people were like me. But when I try to wake them up, they misunderstand me and react defensively and defiantly because I dared to suggest that Trump can't save us all, sigh.

I think it’s a good shout out Alex and you raise a good point. Thank you!

However, I see it more as a choice between total darkness and total darkness with a ray of light. I’d go for the latter….! Makes one stumble less along the way?

Yes the whole process is about people becoming autonomous and independent, mature, self-regulating people within the collective, but because of what the system is you do need to vote to choose a lesser evil.

See it as a stair step on the way up, allowing yourself and the collective a better launch pad into greater autonomy and independence.

There could be a stair step in Trump reforming the binary voting system into something new for example. Kennedy endorsing him was a stair step into that direction. A new council of Elders - call it what you will. Just no more bipartisan American election madness. Evolving into something higher, better, more rounded. But it won’t work without having someone in office who would be open to enabling that... Someone with enough of a “ya why not…!?” attitude with some balls to try something new. And I can guarantee you that Ms Cackles and Mr China sure as fuck won’t do that…!
