Dealing with the Bullies of the Political Left: What happens after the election

Probably the biggest thing that everyone is concerned with after this November 5th election of President Trump is what will happen after.  Let’s face it: Democrats are the party of bullies and criminals, and to hide their intentions from the public, they resort most of the time to violence. And that is what people ultimately are afraid of.  So, they elected President Trump to return to the White House.  What happens then?  How do we deal with the radical left and the violence that is part of their interaction with the world?  Well, that just so happens to be my specialty.  As an adult now, I have the unique position of being in a lot of violent fights and coming out well in all of them.  That includes my childhood, which was unusually violent even though I grew up locally in Butler County, Ohio, and went to a good school.  I have always been uncompromising toward evil, so conflict was bound to happen.  For instance, when I was in the first grade, there was a really nasty bully that everyone was afraid of.  And he wanted to fight me right in the middle of class in front of everyone.  He was a big, scary kid who beat up everybody.  And I wasn’t very big at all at the time.  So I knew a fight with him would be tough.  So, as we started the fight, I poked him in the eye with my scissors, and it was a mess.  I got into a lot of trouble, of course.  But it was worth it because I gained something far more valuable: a reputation.  And that reputation would last the rest of my days in school, even up to the present.  When I fought with someone, the people involved often got badly hurt. 

When I was in the 6th grade, there were many fights between these, however, some of these show a pattern of behavior throughout my life; I got into a big fight with a kid much bigger than me right in the hallway in front of the principal’s office.  Most of the school was watching the fight because it was near the locker area right in front of the school in the morning while everyone was arriving.  So they formed a big circle and were watching, so I knew I had to make it good.   It wasn’t going well for the kid, so I needed to do something really dramatic to make sure I made a point. I pushed the kid through the principal’s office doors so hard that he fell into the doorway, and a few teacher assistants were residing there and being knocked away like bowling pins.  I followed it up by rushing him as he was getting up, colliding with him, which forced him backward even further and into the principal’s office where the guy was sitting at his desk.  I figured I was already in trouble, so I made it count.  I got into a lot of trouble, but again, my reputation bloomed as almost everyone in the school had witnessed or heard about it immediately.  It was worth the trouble I got into as a result.  Let me say that.  One thing you learn in these kinds of fights is that fewer people build up the courage to fight you because they know they are going to get hurt.  I was never a bully, but I had a policy not to take any crap from anybody over anything.  And that provoked people who like to give out crap, to try and make a trophy out of me, leaving many of them hurt in destructive ways and certainly damaged for life.  It’s gone forever once you lose a reputation, as with most things.

When I was a junior in high school, there was a group of bullies and a series of conflicts ensued through the winter that year with three of them, and it started over a girl.  I was always a sucker for helping girls when bullies pushed them around.  A trend that is as current as yesterday.  I still do this kind of thing a lot.  But then it was a matter of cafeteria warfare, and it got so bad that during one of these engagements, I punched a hard plastic plate that immediately cut my hand open in several places and exposed my bone and ligaments in front of the entire lunchroom.  Knowing I was severely hurt, I made the most of it and stayed calm even though my bones were sticking out of my hand.  I made a point to continue eating my food even with blood pouring out, taking my time to get to the nurse.  I had to be rushed to the hospital to have emergency plastic surgery because my hand was cut up badly.  It took a few months to heal, but the moment I could close my fist, I agreed to meet three of these guys at the Screaming Bridge, a local haunted spot in Liberty Township back then, for a fight.  And it was going to be a big one.  My friends were going to go and watch me fight these three guys who showed up to the fight location early to set booby traps they intended to push me into.  This was confirmed later in court when all this blew up into a significant headline, as the evidence of their intentions was nothing short of murderous. 

Fortunately for me, and this is why I can confirm Providence as a hidden hand that often shows up when you least expect it; I was with the police when one of those kids was shot and killed by a friend of mine after a car chase.   My reputation being what it was, I was not at the fight when it was supposed to start, and these kids I was supposed to meet told my friends that they had already thrown me down the hill into a series of booby traps they had set there, which frightened my friends because they couldn’t believe it.  So they gunned those kids down and chased them down the road, and a bullet hit one of the provocateurs, killing him.  Of course, the whole school knew I was supposed to fight those kids that night, and the story was all over the news.  So, I was the prime suspect.  But as it occurred, the police had apprehended me for another event that happened the weekend before, so they were questioning me at the exact moment on a Saturday night in late February 1985.  The point of all this is that, yes, I have a lot of experience dealing with bullies and violence.  And I enjoy these engagements.  I have had more guns pointed at me directly over the years than most police officers experience over their entire careers.  Most of the people I knew from back then didn’t make it very far into adulthood, and some had very violent deaths.  But I can say that I’ve seen enough of that behavior to know what will happen after this election. The Democrat bullies are out of gas and are beaten.  Do not be afraid of them.  They are defeated people, and their past has caught up with them.  And you don’t have to take any crap from them.  They are not scary or more powerful and can easily be beaten.  So don’t worry about what they will do after Trump wins the election.  They have only one play in the playbook and that is to bully people into submission.  But if you don’t submit, they don’t know what to do, and based on my experience, they don’t have what it takes to push people around, especially when they are losing as they are now politically.  There is only one path for them, and victory is not it.  And having the ability to bully people around, they have lost forever.  All you have to do is stand up to them.  God will take care of the rest. I’ve seen it all my life, and it happens like clockwork.  So don’t yield to the bullies from the radical left.  Stand up to them and expose them in ways they are unprepared to fight because they can’t.  Be like Joshua when he led the Israelites into Canaan.  God will take care of you if you fight in his name and do what’s right even when it seems scary and unwinnable.

We Have to Stand Up to our Bullies: Mean Tweets were what kept peace in the world

We Have to Stand Up to Bullies

I know it from years of professionalism, and most people with common sense understand it, too; you don’t sacrifice effectiveness for niceness.  Now in a leadership role, I think the most effective communication is with honey rather than vinegar.  People are more willing to do things in their life of their own free will if given a chance.  However, they often need leadership to help them figure out what that is.  And they often need a kick in the pants to reside beyond their sense of laziness to aim for higher things in life.  It is up to leadership to define the goals of an organization.  How people get on board with that strategy is up to them.  But complacency and drag assing are not options.  Often there will be resistance to the goals established by a leader, and sometimes, they will have to employ methods of motivation that might be boisterous or otherwise.  This is not the same as being a bully.  Our culture understands this subtle nature well; we’ve seen it in movies like Back to the Future.  We all have our Biffs in life and could cheer on George McFly when he punched the bully in the face at the end of the movie to win his future wife and start a good life for himself.  We see it every year in The Christmas Story where Ralphie gets tired of getting picked on by a group of bullies coming home from school, and he beats the crap out of one of them, which solved that problem forever.  In my own life, I poked a big-time bully in the eye with a pair of scissors when I was in the first grade.  I had to, and yes, I got into a lot of trouble.  But you can bet that it was worth it; it changed many things for me for the better.  There are many bullies in the world, and the focus of our academia has been to avoid conflict, which has only empowered them.  And it was the wrong approach.  From his years of experience, Trump understood what leadership was supposed to look like, and we saw it daily in what was called “mean Tweets.” But look what happened in the world when he could no longer provide those mean Tweets; when Twitter took down his account and through election fraud, he was removed from office.  How is the world doing now?

Even George McFly Learned His Lesson

We all had our stories of bullies when we were young, and we either dealt with it or looked for some protection in group behavior to hide from them.  And yes, it’s that simple in the world.  Those who never learned to fight back against their bullies joined groups such as political parties to do their dirty work for them.  It is clear to all that the Democrat Party has offered a chance to be a bully on their behalf with collective salvation.  We see it in our businesses when consensus-building exercises stifle any attempts to impose work standards by a strong leader.  People who want to hide their timidity usually do so by hiding in groups, and from there, much evil is launched.  Humans trying to avoid this reality have built every part of their civilization around the idea of a democracy for just this very reason, to hide their lack of courage, leadership, and zeal for day-to-day life.  With a democracy, pack hunting, they believe they can hide their soft souls from the world and do OK, just as long as they are not exposed as phonies.  They go to school to get pieces of paper that tell the world that they have proven their worth academically.  They join clubs so that others will say they are notable within the context of the group.  They do anything and everything to hide the fact that when they had a chance to punch their version of a bully in the face, they didn’t, and they grow up bowing to every kind of corruption that there is because they essentially are terrified of conflict.

But most people understand the value of leadership, so we put President Trump in office because he had a reputation of standing up to bullies and fighting back.  We saw it on television and read about it in the media for several decades, so we gave him a chance, and it worked out great.   America First was a plan people could rally behind.  The world was not acting aggressively toward the United States in any way.  Trump had brought peace to the world one mean Tweet at a time and survived what aggressions were thrown his way by an endless stream of media and activist groups.  It didn’t matter, Trump was successful every day he was in office, and the world was better off for it.  Many who didn’t like him felt the way they did because they were averse to conflict, not that Trump did anything wrong.  People felt that Trump should have been more “presidential,” which is just short of saying, “we want to steal your lunch money, so let us do it.” It said more about the state of other people’s minds than it did of Trump.  People showed by electing him twice that they wanted leadership in the world, not the collective shield of group-oriented behavior.  People in America wanted to win at life, and to do that, leadership needs to be present to set the objectives.  And once those objectives were set, people also needed to be pushed to achieve those goals.  We had that type of President over the last four years, and America was winning.  Look what happened in just seven months after it was taken away.  The world is literally on fire from every quarter of it. 

Ralphie Gets Its!

We could talk all day about the malcontents around the world who want a weak American president.  Without leadership, the bullies from every quarter of existence emerged to push people around, and a kind of tribalism that is entirely destructive occurs.  It is the most understudied aspect of liberalism that there has ever been, the need for individuals to stand up to bullies not to join groups to seek protection from them points to the ultimate failure of their plight.  The world and everything in it needs leadership that pushes individuals toward greatness.  Not where groups provide refuge only to become bullies themselves spreading evil upon the earth.  There is nothing good or just about a Democrat Party who protects the weak and meek by allowing them to join the masses to become the bullies themselves.  And there is nothing good about a Republican Party who lets them do it the way George McFly did in Back to the Future.   Allowing evil to grow is just as bad as perpetrating it yourself.  With that said, I do not doubt that we are learning our lesson right now.  Even if they weren’t Trump supporters before, many people are craving the mean Tweets of the Trump administration.  It was better to win in the world than cower in the corner and hope that something terrible didn’t happen.  We have to stand up to the bullies of the world, and we can’t become bullies ourselves along the way.  Being a leader is not the same as being a bully.  Our academic system needs to learn that for future prosperity.  But in the meantime, mean Tweets or whatever their replacement becomes will do just fine.
