I wore my “Save America” hat to the auto store the other day, and the kid working there liked it so much that he acted like he wanted to come home with me, like a stray little dog who had suddenly been fed while desperately hungry.  The sight of “Trump” something was enough to send him into a state of excitement upon such recognition.  The “Trump” brand has turned out to be very patriotic, and people want very much to love their country again.  For too long, people have taken for granted that America would always be there for them, and these days, they are happy to see anything that reminds them that their country is still there, and Trump is the name that does it for them.  When someone like that auto parts clerk sees “Trump,” they know all is right with the world.  And this isn’t just some random guy who is expressing these kinds of sentiments.  It’s happening everywhere.  Recently, I was up by Bellfountain, Ohio, just a few miles from Springfield, where the great controversy about illegal immigrants from Haiti is now a national story, where the population of the town is around 60K, and the amount of illegal immigration brought into the area by the federal government is 20K.  People are not happy, and they know what’s going on out there.  I’ve never seen it like this before, but the side roads from I-75 to downtown Bellefontaine were lined with Trump signs in their yards for at least 20 miles. Not just a few, but most homes felt they needed to express themselves with a Trump sign in great abundance.  I understand, I have been flying a Trump flag in front of my house for three years now, and people seem to love it.  But it’s not the kind of thing a person who wants to hide under a rock of political indecision does.  For many people, expressing a political view is hard in public, but these days, people find it very refreshing because they think the same things.

One of my daughters is an artist who travels frequently around the country, attending trade shows.  And, of course, in the art crowd, you would expect to find a lot of very liberal Democrats who hate Trump.  And that has certainly been the case for her for a long time, except this year.  Now, as opposed to the past, more people are breaking off from the “Never Trumper” category and whispering to her that they love Trump and want to see him elected.  And for them, it’s quite a statement, a significant rebellion against their everyday political sentiments.  What all this means is that there are a lot of people out there who are reflecting support for President Trump ahead of the 2024 election because they see that America is in danger of a complete communist overthrow of globalist intention, and they are looking for reassurance in their peers that such a thing might be avoided.  I’ve never seen anything like it in all the years I’ve been involved in political activity.  And across such a broad base of people, many of whom would vote for a Democrat otherwise.  Even Elton John is showing support for President Trump, which is stunningly remarkable.  Over the last few weeks, very blue Democrats have supported Trump from Robert F. Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard, and the trend continues daily.  Democrats are jumping ship and voting for Trump, and suddenly, it’s not such a scandal to wear a Trump hat out in public or put up a yard sign in support of Saving America through President Trump’s re-election. 

It’s good to see, but I’m not entirely surprised.  I’ve reported that my wife and I have been all over the United States since the last election, and support for Trump has always been there.  You don’t see many Biden signs or Harris references anywhere.  Most of the support for Harris comes from the political machine of the mainstream media, who aren’t so mainstream anymore.  The illusion was only maintained by a public that was shamed into not expressing their political sentiments by those seeking to control it.  Even a year ago, I got a lot of disapproving looks when I would wear my Save America hat out in public.  But these days, I see them more often in more places.  People are rebelling against the established order by openly supporting Trump.  And people who otherwise wouldn’t are now doing so.  Trump is a brand that they know can Save America from those willing to destroy it.  And there is hope in Trump that through all he has endured, that by example, America can become Great Again.  The people out in the country of Ohio know what the government has been up to; dumping illegal immigrants into Springfield, Ohio, was an attack on the country culture there, of the red, white, and blue Americans who inhabit those vast spaces.  And to assault them at their homes.  People hope that by supporting Trump, they might regain a representative government again, instead of the one from Biden/Harris who wants to use the power of government to destroy their very lives.  Social customs of political discreteness no longer bind people because they realize that part of the attack vector has been not expressing views that would Save America.  They no longer feel so restricted.

I would say that people have always felt this way, but they didn’t feel like they could express themselves due to social appeasement.  Because Biden has been so wrong, and the machine that put him in office is now trying to use Kamala Harris as the new offering of communism for all, hidden behind a thin veil of feminism intent to overcome logic with the siren song of skin color.  People have had it and to such a point that public displays of affection toward Trump are the only thing that makes sense.  And when Democrats are bleeding over into the political support of President Trump, something much bigger is happening that is important.  And perhaps this is all purposeful in the grand scheme of things.  Things looked pretty dark in 2021 as Joe Biden stepped into the White House after a three-letter coup against Trump was trying to remove a sitting president to preserve a big government that had grown out of control and had great hatred for the American people as a sovereign nation.  The hostilities toward those people have united those people in ways that nobody has thought possible.  And now, in the final days of 2024, people are genuinely coming together under a common cause from many different political backgrounds to Save America from those who intend to destroy it.  Finally, we can agree on something we would never agree on otherwise.  And perhaps that is the point of all this pain and suffering.  Through a massive fight, we have found ways in common toward a goal we can all agree on.  To Save America because we previously never thought it could be in danger.  Yet now that we have seen it is in danger, we want to put aside our differences and save it from those hostile forces.  And yes, those forces are hostile and intent to destroy us all.  Which has at least united us against a common enemy, which is good.
