Christian Values Stand in the Way of the Progressive Death Cult of Abortion: Why there is so much political turmoil over Roe v. Wade

Based on the behavior of the pro-abortion crowd in the wake of Roe v. Wade, there is a lot more going on than just the argument of “my body, my choice.” Without question, abortion for the political left is all about the destruction of the American family by desecrating one of its most sacred unions, sex. When the currency of sex is cheapened and given away freely without consequence, the institution of marriage is destroyed, and the wish-fulfillment of progressives can begin. Sex without consequence and without value so that government can replace the central roles with authority figures is at the core of their strategy. The idea under attack was that if a man managed to get a woman pregnant, that he would be obliged to marry her and raise the child under marital bliss was the core tenant of the progressive attack. The rest of the marriage might progress under sexless circumstances and the couple only being together for the benefit of the child, and lots of resentments would ensue. But, if abortion could wipe away all the responsibility, then government could replace the pressure with a cheapened version of relationship building and then could introduce all kinds of perversions, such as gay relationships, gender-neutral lifestyles, and the eventual destruction of masculinity to make way for a mass collapse of society allowing for it to be rebuilt under new gods and authority figures, all from the radical point of view of the political left.

However, based on the reaction of many after the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court to abandon the activism of the court in the first place and to return the issue of abortion back to the states for resolution, there is obviously more going on than just a policy decision. The ability to have an abortion has meaning to progressives that go far beyond the strategic ability to destroy the concept of family and replace it with government. Watching the behavior and anger of many in the wake of the Supreme Court decision, there is only one conclusion that could be made by comparing that behavior to what is known in history. And that is that many in the progressive movement are looking to abortion for further strategies that aren’t being talked about but are at the center of their belief systems and ones that paint them as evil and vile concerning the needs of the human race by allowing for the idea that the progressive left’s belief in abortion as a social norm, that there is an occult element to their desires that extend well beyond political policy. Considering the past of Alister Crowley and the Golden Dawn radicals, who were spinoffs of the Freemasonry movement coming out of Europe, the seeking of blood sacrifices, as was common in most city-dwelling societies throughout history, then suddenly abortion makes much more sense within the view of a massive death cult political in nature. Its always been the belief that sacrificing humans and releasing their life energy, the fuel that makes a human life live, that agents of the spirit world could be conjured up and used for maleficent practices. The belief persists in many cultures and over vast periods and has always been a part of liberal culture. There is no reason to conclude that the practice suddenly went away in the 20th and 21st centuries. Instead, it became stronger and much more widespread. Only now, the sacrifices were being done on a mass scale before a child was physically born from a mother creating the opportunity to kill many more lifeforms to appeal to a massive global desire for a blood cult to be satisfied for mass ritual conduct. 

It doesn’t take long to learn that many of the gods of the progressive movement are not of the Christian kind. Religion centered around the teachings of Jesus Christ has been attacked for many decades by these liberal groups. Now, with the strange obsession with gay sex and the in-your-face insistence on drag queens in public education, we are now seeing desires to incorporate insane perversions into mainstream life; we are witnessing rituals designed to appeal to the pagan cults of yesteryear hiding behind the mask of climate change and coming out of Europe where Celt beliefs and other gods of nature were worshipped and appealed to for cultures over many thousands of years.   So given the antagonism that the political left has for Christianity and their reverence for “mother earth” worship, it’s only logical that abortion to them is a mass sacrifice to the collective nature of humanity as a global civilization that is viewed as secondary to the power of the planet itself. And if those sacrifices can occur before there is an actual, “defined birth” while the child is still in the womb, a more consistent sacrifice can be made to those gods of progressive belief, on a much more vast scale, and that they can get the medical community to commit the deed and give the malevolent spirits of existence energy to feast on and conduct great injustice on the concept of the world created by Judeo-Christian belief, that mankind is dominant over nature. For the progressive, the goal is to return mankind into subservience to nature and ultimately appeal to it with a blood cult of death and destruction on bended knee. 

Given the propensity of weakness in the liberal view of the world that has no answers or desires for them toward a creative world of mankind’s domination over nature, for nature to serve society, it is evident that all roots of progressive politics point toward mass collectivism, where identities are stripped away and lives sacrificed to the demons of the underworld for reverence to ancient characters in worship to the earth. Liberals are enormously insecure creatures, so they perpetually seek to hide themselves in group associations. To best serve that cause, appealing to those long dead or dying energies makes perfect sense. They are not interested in a society that produces answers and build material wealth. They see all that as an assault on their mother earth and the spirits that fuel it all toward the safety net of history where they can hide their timid personalities behind blood sacrifices literally on a massive, global death cult. Abortion, to the progressive, is the essence of their religion and the reason they are so upset over the Roe v. Wade decision. It’s not just a policy decision for them; it’s a religion that defines life and death in eternal aspects. And for the mind of the Christian, which they hate for the standards upon society that were molded from it, they desire evil, and destruction and a return to the world of the pagan primitive, to the gods of nature, and to put all decision making into the reality of the supernatural. They view the minds of humanity to be corrupted by their desire for a material world, and their goal is to return humans and all of history back to nature for it to do what it will. And to prove it, they have a blood cult of abortion to appease the old gods with reckless, pointless sex, and when that sex produces a pregnancy, then another sacrifice can be made to those ancient evils that have always feasted on the flesh of the innocent. And so long as that Christian world is there to judge them for their vile behavior, they will never sit unattended for schemes of malice and destruction.

My Thoughts on Roe v. Wade: Families First will Make America Great Again

My thoughts on Roe v. Wade were always that it was wrong and incomplete like it would be overturned at some point. It was a mistake made in a time of turbulence, which is always a strategy of the political left in hindsight. Some of those Nixon-appointed judges had never seen anything like what they had seen in the 60s, especially in 1968, and they were scared. The Watergate trial was unraveling at the time, so there were many things in 1973 to shake their opinions and rule from the bench because they didn’t want radical lunatics coming to their homes and killing them all in their sleep with a lynch mob. And those were the conditions of the judicial activism that came from the decision of Roe v. Wade in the first place. It was never law based on constitutional concepts and, as I have talked about before, was part of the socialist incursion into America, driven at that time by the Soviet Union, to undermine our rule of law and topple our country from within. This kind of activity has been going on for a long time, and the dumbest and least secure among us, who grow up to become Democrats, fell for the ruse and joined the agents of chaos to undo America in many ways before many of them were even born. It was a plot of mass extermination that could only have been conceived from the outset by sheer evil. There is nothing logical about abortion or the policy of legalizing murder. It was always wrong and rooted in evil. The judges were suckered into it at the time out of concern for their very lives, and that is no way to make or uphold law and order. 

I am old enough to remember what life was like before Roe. I watched during my early childhood many things that were deliberate attacks on what I call the “Eddie’s Father,” or “Andy Griffin Show” America that we were and to turn us into this free love life broadcast directly from the KGB straight into our schools by attacking our youth. Nobody knew better; this was the first time America had seen such a thing. And a decade later, after Roe was known as the law of the land, I entered my teenage years, and the results were obvious. Sexual lifestyles were open, dates were expected to provide sex, and if a young lady became pregnant, then abortion on demand was the way to go. For guys, it was the first time in our history where if a girl got pregnant, you wouldn’t be expected to marry the girl, as it was in the previous generation just 20 years earlier. Now, all you had to do was take her to an abortion clinic and erase the mistake. And the door to immorality had been kicked open and sexual promiscuity was now a way of life that I have watched get worse and worse and worse over the next 40 years. Speaking as a grown adult who has been married to the same woman for over three decades and had sex many thousands of times, I can say to the people coming up in this new generation that sex just isn’t worth it. None of the mess that comes with sex is worth anything if the activity of building a family is not attached to the process. I’m not saying that out of religious zeal, but from living a good life and coming out of a youth, that was one of the wildest and most reckless that anybody could hope to live through. There is nothing about sex that is worth the garbage that comes from messy lives entangled with other people who are only experienced through sex. It was a bad idea to loosen sexual proclivity, and it was introduced to us by our enemies at the time to destroy us. And it almost has several decades later. So I always knew at some point that the Supreme Court, and America in general, would have to take a moral stand on several fronts, abortion being one of them, and that “A” Supreme Court would have to set everything right. And it appears that this current one is the one to do it. 

Much of what progressives have brought to America has been with ill intention and malice, and its coming unraveled. As I watched the various pro-choice protests with such young people in the crowd, obviously corrupted by public education from their youth, with parents too busy in their lives to guide them, you can’t help but feel sorry for them. In their youth, you can’t yet tell them that all they were fighting for, the death of children and the guilt that comes with it, would ruin their lives if they went down that path. I have known many people over the years who had abortions and tried to bury the effects in their lives, and they never really ever got over them. Even after the effects of the abortion came the psychosis of all those start-up relationships where sex isn’t consummated in marriage but from some loose dinner cheapened at the end of a night, a perpetual feeling of being unhinged emotionally turned out to be the common result. Knowing that the attackers of America before Roe v. Wade ever was a decision in the Supreme Court, they wanted to destroy the concept of the American family. Modern progressives are apocalyptic at the idea of ever losing the ground they have gained over the years; the loss of the family experience has been something that Americans want very much to return to. Progressives have had a few generations to make their case, and the people of those generations are looking for a correction. The guilt that comes from living a progressive life when the knowledge of a better way of doing things was always there in American culture has led people to this MAGA movement, and it’s spreading, and that spread is now showing up in our courts. 

The only real purpose of sex is to make a baby. Anything less than that is to cheapen the child’s potential life but to ruin the concept of the family that is created by having that child and starting a family. Being in a family and starting a family of our own is one of the strongest instincts any of us will ever have, and artificially replacing those actions with social falshoods of the pleasure without the pain was never going to be a satisfying concept. The effects of these decisions don’t often get talked about in the time of the deed but are reflected in generations speaking to generations, as we are now. The Roe v. Wade decision is one of those decisions where millions of lives were killed, and society was thrown into a rot that many are so ashamed of that they don’t even want to talk about it. But their feelings come out in elections when they are alone in the voting booth, and they reflect on their lives and think about what was worth it and what wasn’t. What wasn’t worth it was a two-week relationship from the 1980s that resulted in breaking up because once you’ve had the sex, what else are you going to do as a couple if you aren’t going to start a family? So you’d like to break up, but a pregnancy results. Rather than work it out and do the responsible thing, the young girl would just get an abortion, and that would be it. And as millions of those relationships came and went and the products of the sex failed to join them in marriage, our society has faltered, and people aren’t happy about it. This Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court of 2022 goes a long way to rectify that mistake, and that is an excellent thing for the American idea, not just in making America Great Again, but in doing it by making Families First.

The Eight Ways WEF Declared War Against America: Crimes that require punishment

We’re not the ones who said it; it was the World Economic Forum members, the people I call the Desecrators of Davos, who did. They even published it in their books, their obvious hatred of America, as many of the members of the WEF are open socialists and communists are. They have eight goals or predictions as they have called them to limit their liability, four of which directly undermine the lifestyle of America openly and call for the end of the only superpower in the world. What else could any of that mean but an open act of war with hostile intention? There is so much that can be determined to be wrong from Charlie Kirk’s new little book that you can get with a small donation to Turning Point USA titled The Great Reset. In hindsight, it is much clearer than seeing it in live time, but the World Economic Forum has its hands all over many crimes that have transpired over the last several years that challenged the human understanding of what war was. The Desecrators of Davos types played those poorly defined definitions to their full advantage for global takeover, which is quite clear now that we see where the world is in 2022. With gas prices being out of control, food shortages being projected, inflation, the Biden presidency, Covid, just about every bad thing we are experiencing can be traced back to a member of the World Economic Forum and their terrorist tampering with elements of our global economies for the changes they wish to see implemented as a military exercise, done without nation-state approval for the first time in the history of the world. But how can we say such a thing? Well, let’s look at their eight goals as they proposed them and let them speak for themselves. Here they are as stated in 2016, the first year of the Donald Trump presidency:

  • You’ll own nothing and be happy.
  • The U.S. won’t be the world’s superpower. 
  • You won’t die waiting for an organ donor. 
  • You’ll eat less meat.
  • A billion people will be displaced by climate change.
  • You could be preparing to go to Mars.
  • Western values will be tested to their breaking point.
  • Fossil fuels will be eliminated. 

A few of those items, such as the medical breakthroughs on organ donors, for context, organ harvesting is a significant problem around the world, so there is a lot of talk about being able to build body parts in a lab. And the Davos crowd was clearly looking to loot off the efforts of Elon Musk and his efforts toward Mars. Musk has since picked his sides, and he is turning toward America for his own needs. Socialist governments will not fit the Musk plan for interplanetary travel. But four of the predictions directly impact the United States. While the rest will certainly have an impact on America. From the viewpoint of 2016, we might have called this list an insane doomsday scenario by out-of-touch globalists too wealthy for context. But, from a 2022 point of view, it’s clear that the members of the World Economic Forum have actively worked through acts of terrorism to implement these eight predictions. That changes their meaning considerably from just the musings of real-world Bond villains into declarations of war against the world, and specifically the guardian of global commerce, the United States of America, and its capitalist economy, which they are fully committed to destroying. So, of course, they were inclined to make bold predictions about how the world would be by the year of 2030 because they knew what they planned to do to make them all happen.   For instance, Bill Gates has his hands all over Covid. In an incestuous relationship with the Federal Reserve, Larry Fink destroyed the economy through quantitative easing, then used that inflated asset bubble to buy up American corporations and turn them into woke progressive allies. Or Mark Zuckerberg gets control of global elections and takes power away from governments in determining their representatives. 2020 for Facebook was all about proving how a tech company and their conspirators at Google and Twitter could get control of the election process. Facebook spent half a billion dollars tampering with the American election. And this has also opened the door as a way to control populism elsewhere in the world. 

One of the most significant crimes to emerge from this list is Bill Gates’s work to deny hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin to a public sick with Covid, which was created in a Chinese lab by many of the same people committed to the goals of the World Economic Forum. Klaus Schwab was well aware of the plans as they were hatched at Davos regarding Covid. He had his book, The Great Reset, ready to go in the summer of 2020 as health officials seeking Bill Gates funding invoked unconstitutional tyrannies worldwide for the first time in all human history. People died because Gates and Fauci, both very active in World Economic Forum politics, denied sick people the medicine they needed to get healthy as a result of Covid. So the fingerprints of the World Economic Forum are all over the creation of Covid, its distribution, and the ultimate solution they sought, which was mandatory vaccines. The eight predictions’ ultimate goals were well stated, and now we could see how they meant to make them happen through Covid and use the Great Reset to topple the world’s economies and unite everyone under the socialist umbrella of the United Nations. They killed people. They tampered with our American elections. They ruined many lives of people who didn’t die, and they did it all out in the open, thinking that nobody would ever have the guts to call them on their villainy. 

To me, the World Economic Forum declared war on the United States, and they are daring us to answer the call. They openly sought to topple our country in every way that a war would, by destroying our economy, destroying our power grid, the fuel of our economy. And destroying our constitution through an administrative state imposition run by white coat health experts. All roads run back to Davos when it comes to an understanding of how America has found itself in the troubles it is currently experiencing. And its characters like Bill Gates, who have become the new villain, the new Hitler, provoked to do the bidding of globalism not with tanks and troops, but with vaccine shots and viruses made in bio labs under the American Department of Defense and advocated by a media that eat out of their hands. Bill Gates has paid for the propaganda and did it for his religion of climate change, which many members of the World Economic Forum share. It’s because of them that we have such high gas prices. It’s because of them that we have election fraud. It’s because of them that we have runaway inflation. They have tampered with American markets in a war-like way and told us what they planned to do. Only, we didn’t see it because we were looking for the attack to come from China or Russia. Not from some pinheaded geeks in the World Economic Forum, in the ski resort of Davos. We didn’t look at Bill Gates, Larry Fink, Mark Zuckerberg, and Klaus Schwab and think we were looking at the next Adolf Hitler, complete with concentration camps and swastikas. But if you are the enemy wanting to take down America, you can’t blame them for attacking us in a way we would have never expected. But that’s precisely what they did. And now we have to pick up the pieces and bring justice to those who did the deed.

Drag Queens: A symphony of evil

Ultimately the issue of drag queens in our society and the push by political progressives crosses over into religious zeal, as most things do. Climate change is certainly religious in nature since logic does not support their claims. And that is true of the desire to have a hermaphroditic culture even in this advanced 21st Century. At first glance, we would call it insanity; on the second, sheer evil. But ultimately, we will learn that the purpose all along was a religion to pagan gods that have been with us for more than 40,000 years.   I think drag queens where men dress up as women and sashay in sexual ways about our polite society is disgusting and is purposely in our faces with all the intentions that could be made to deface western civilization and then dare us to say something about it, is disgusting. It’s a military attack meant to destroy our culture with rot and indecision. But my view doesn’t come from some bullet point right-winged perspective; it comes from experience and decisions I made about it long ago, well before there was political pressure through ESG scores to use sheer evil to destroy American culture. It’s not just the disgusting Rocky Horror Picture Show that shaped my opinions on the matter, which I could argue would be enough, but it’s watching this wave of disgust up close and personal. I’m old enough to remember what a normal society looked like, so this evolution into the social spectacle of social degeneration is something I’ve seen firsthand. My opinions about it are reflected in my experience.

Thirty years ago, I was involved in a business for a change of use from conventional warehouse space, converting it into a night spot in Cincinnati. I was primarily at the time wrapped up in meeting with the mayor and the various city council members and working through all the engineering problems that had to be made and approved through City Hall daily. But one of the most exciting things in that project was in the fun stuff of picking out the lights for the place. We were creating a nightclub that was supposed to be the best in the city at the time, so great lights and audio were the keys. So in talking to the lighting people on Vine Street downtown, I needed to see samples to start putting together a purchasing list. But they had a tiny showroom that did not display the best of what they had adequately. They had catalogs on paper pages, which didn’t come close to telling a proper story of their products, so eventually, that led to the question of wanting to see actual examples of their set-ups. So they told me they’d take me to a club with the best lighting set-up in the city, which I agreed to. But I had not heard of the name of the place before; it was called The Dock. They laughed a bit and then indicated to me that I might not have heard about it because it was a gay club. Well, I had no interest in being associated with such a realm of scum and debauchery. But they assured me they’d take me and introduce me to the owners so that it wouldn’t be some meaningless pinballing around a Sodom and Gomorrah type of culture. 

I wasn’t a club type socially. I thought places that were typical meat markets were vile and evil places where men and women sought to entice each other into short-term relationships sexually was terrible enough. But I wasn’t prepared for what I saw at The Dock. It was a packed parking lot right across the street from Longworth Hall downtown, just a few blocks down from the sports stadiums. I didn’t know there were that many gay people in the United States, let alone just in Cincinnati. It was outrageous. So I found my people, who ushered me in to see the owners, past the many lines everywhere for everything. The thing I most remember about the experience was how it smelled; it had the odor of sweat, spit, and spilled beer. It stunk, and I found it shocking that the many people there would put up with the smell, and even learn to like it, so they could openly express their gayness. Then to culminate the experience and to see the lights, there happened to be a drag queen show going on that night were the lights I was there to see were being put to full use. Outside of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which I never liked and thought was an assault on American culture when I saw it as a teenager, I had never seen real people dressed in drag. And the people there at that club dancing around on the stage were disgusting. It was the ultimate perversion of sexual lifestyles and was obviously the sign of a degrading culture to me. No culture could hope to exist in the future if it embraced those kinds of values. I saw the lights and was gone in 15 minutes, happy to get away from that place, never to return. But I never forgot those people’s smell and behavior and how proud they were of their desecration of sexual lifestyles. Behind all their eyes was a kind of symphony of evil that showed what they were really about, and my opinions about that lifestyle were shaped forever. 

All this occurred before the modern progressive push for acceptance of this lunacy before gay rights parades became standard and highly sexualized in front of innocent children on city sidewalks. We were pushed by polite society to accept this behavior whether we liked it or not and to keep our opinions to ourselves if we didn’t. I would have never guessed that the culture I saw that night at The Dock would ever be a mainstream consideration, but the intent of evil to project itself on the innocent should never be underestimated. It’s one thing to experience such a thing by choice, by going to a gay nightclub where that kind of behavior was expected but kept pretty much out of the mainstream world. I would have never known the place existed if I had not gone there to look at those lights. But now, we see this behavior being advocated in our schools and society. It’s being put into our movies and culture; in general, we are made to feel bad if we don’t openly accept the behavior as “normal.” We are even at the point where we have to debate the differences between men’s and women’s sports, and none of that is acceptable. It’s one thing to have a mental illness and seek time with like-minded degenerates, which was my experience with it before the current political tide crawled itself into the mainstream. It’s quite another to force that lifestyle into our culture to the point where you can’t escape from it, and if you show a desire to do so, you are then called names and considered a conservative political extremist if you do. I think we should have never given the gay and drag queen lifestyles a foot in the door because their intentions are sheer evil. And were from the outset. The whole concept of same-sex lifestyles and defacing the male and female sexual roles in public has always been an attack on us all, and it’s the only way we can look at such things and still be honest with ourselves.

Toxic Masculinity is the Key to Beating the World Economic Forum Attackers: They have no answer to classic American males

It was just over a year ago when I was on a big trip with my family, and we were camping outside of Winterset, Iowa, which was a favorite spot for me because of my love of the book, The Bridges of Madison County. Camping in the area was a haunting experience for me because I had literally spent many thousands of hours thinking about the concepts in that famous romance novel by the now-deceased Robert James Waller. I always thought it was odd that the New York publishing industry, through Warner Books, even allowed such a little book to be put on the mainstream circuit or even that Warner Bros would produce a movie about it starring Clint Eastwood. The book was set in Winterset around the famous covered bridges of the area where a lonely housewife falls in love with a globe-trotting adventurer often termed The Last Cowboy, with Eastwood playing the title character, Robert Kinkaid. The essence of the story was that Kinkaid was the last of the masculine, untamed men in the world and that the lead protagonist, Francesca Johnston, had fallen in love with while photographing the bridges for National Geographic magazine. She was married with grown kids at the time, so her romance with Robert Kinkaid was scandalous for Iowa standards, and after her death, and eventually, Robert Kinkaid’s, when her kids discovered the ill-fated romance, they had a tough time dealing with it. Camping in the region brought many thoughts to me, which led me to ask the same question repeatedly, which is asked in the book, what makes culture and sets the norms of society? In the book, it was never discovered. Still, in my own time, I had figured out that the World Economic Forum set those norms for the strategic purposes of their needs for global domination. While staying at that campsite outside of Winterset and thinking back on one of my all-time favorite books, it all became apparent to me a strategy that was loose in the world hell-bent on the destruction of America.

In many ways, The Bridges of Madison County was meant to be a swan song goodbye to the American era of masculinity. If culture was created and implemented by the members of the World Economic Forum for strategies it had set forth since its opening year of foundation in 1971, then the attack was to get rid of in America, the cowboy image that had built the nation through movies, television, literature, and song, and replace it with a more European beta male concept which is now familiar today. The skinny jeans types, the guys who cry and show emotion to their wives over every little bit of spilled milk. And those who replace the tie with a polo shirt and embrace their lack of testosterone instead of yearning for it. The publishing industry always intended The Bridges of Madison County to be that essential goodbye story for the progressive era to thrive while being somewhat respectful of what built America. Robert James Waller was just the vehicle for their attack from the World Economic Forum’s perspective on the change. It was meant to be a stake in the ground where the entertainment industry forever after would say, “now we move on from this concept of toxic masculinity.” In the book, Francesca decides to stay with her family and not run off with Robert Kincaid, which was meant to be a metaphor for America. You might want to be with the toxic masculine superhero. But for the good of humanity, you must bury your feelings and endure the pain for the good of all. 

I had gotten up early on one morning in Iowa before the rest of my family had, and watched the dew rise from the emerging sun across the vast plains of Iowa and considered what a scam the whole Bridges of Madison County concept had been. The attack on toxic masculinity was being projected across the world, and the attempt through culture to sell it to people on a mass scale. I personally had always embraced my toxic masculinity without apology, and I raised my family in a very traditional way. My wife and kids are all females who like being females, and that’s great. I would never want to make them into males. But for me, being a man’s man was always the only option, and nothing else was appropriate. I had always been made to feel bad about that, which is why I found The Bridges of Madison County novel so appealing. It took me another 20 years to figure out what the strategy was, and for that, we had to look out beyond America to where the movers and shakers of industry formed culture to understand what was happening. It is now clear what they wanted all along. 

I would say to anybody wondering about such things as toxic masculinity, what makes masculinity toxic, and to whom? The members of the World Economic Forum always meant to attack America, and they wanted all the old cowboys out of the way. In their support of The Bridges of Madison County, through the favorable press, book reviews, and putting the author Robert James Waller on a pedestal for that time period, they could essentially get their arms around the Buffalo Bill type of American culture. They put it to death, making way for the beta male archetypes we have seen in movies over the last twenty years, the hapless man, the know-nothing father, the stumbling Chevy Chase type of man, guilt-ridden and bouncing around as a victim in life, instead of being the source of all wisdom and courage that children could look up to. The Bridges of Madison County put that kind of man to death and said goodbye. And all the world was to be like Francesca Johnston, push down their true desires, and do what was socially acceptable. And that social standard was now set by the Desecrators of Davos, the World Economic Forum types, the Klaus Schwabs of the world. They wanted to weaken men and to, thus, weaken society. And in that way, they could destroy America from the inside out. It was all very clear to me on that camping trip in Iowa where the events of the book took place and the eventual Clint Eastwood movie. The heart of America was under attack. The intention was to eliminate toxic masculinity from American life so that the aggressor in the World Economic Forum could quickly destroy the country for their own goals. And we were all supposed to put up with it for a greater good determined by them. But to fight back against that trend, all that must be done is to embrace that toxic masculinity because the secret is that masculinity is only toxic to the weak beta males of Europe and the Desecraters of Davos types. They are not prepared to deal with American masculinity, so if you want to beat them, embrace it. Don’t shy away from what you are, men. Be a man, an alpha man at that, and if you do embrace such a thing, the World Economic Forum types have no answer. If you want to win this war, don’t let them trick you into becoming a beta man, crying over every little thing, and sharing your feelings like some cry baby. Wear the cowboy hat, wear the cut-off sleeves of a favorite shirt. Lite up that big V8 engine in that beat-up pickup truck, and don’t fall for the schemes given to us through culture of the very people who want to destroy America. Send them running the other way and make them cry in the night at their failure. Because of what they have done, they deserve it.

Joe Biden, the Hapless Loser: A physical manifestation of failure

They didn’t talk about it much when it happened that President Biden fell up the stairs on his way to the Jimmy Kimmel Show while boarding Air Force One for the second time. Then while riding his bicycle in Delaware, he actually fell off his bicycle, as if he were a child just learning to ride and forgot to put his foot down when coming to a stop. It looked terrible and incompetent. But as many were pointing to the obvious physical decline of an inserted president, someone that people didn’t pick for president but an administrative state that has so little respect for individual ability that they thought they could just stick a “yes man” into the office and turn him loose, it reminded me of a constant element to any competitive endeavor, pressure and what it can do to a mind not prepared to meet it.   Over this span of time, Biden has been complaining that the Republican Party of today is not that of our fathers and grandfathers. He has been yearning for the days when Republicans were easy to beat by Democrats when the Saul Alinsky playbook held true, and Republicans could be destroyed just by calling them a bad name. No, those days are over, Joe, and he is feeling the pressure. The people who put him in office led him to believe that if he just stood here, and stood there, he would be propped up and respected. But that’s not how it is in this new Republican age of the MAGA movement. People got a taste from Trump of what a real president could do, and this artificial mess of the Biden presidency is putting pressure on all Democrats that they are not prepared to deal with. Biden is showing that pressure with these constant mistakes he makes in public. He is the physical manifestation of failure, and it is showing itself in his daily actions.

The mainstream news outlets, particularly Fox News, thought the ten loser Republican senators who showed they were willing to compromise on gun legislation were doing what was expected in politics. For them, it looked like they could talk about “bipartisan” activity on the topic of gun legislation. But they really wanted the typical Republican response to reports lately that there has been gun violence and, therefore, a political push to further erode the Second Amendment and, thus, the Constitution itself. By watching ten senators like Mitt Romney and Rob Portman buckle under the constant media pressure, some hoped that this meant the old tricks would work, where Republicans always caved to the name-calling of the Democrats and that “compromise” could be found and that legislation could be bipartisan. But concern erupted when those ten senators were left on an island by the Republican Party, and MAGA supporters condemned their compromise aggressively. No, this was not the Republican Party of our fathers, the one that loses all the time and is always up for a compromise while Democrats stand together and give up nothing. They are the party of take, take, take, and they never bend to compromise. To them, that has been what the Republican Party has been to politics, the party of compromise, and if they resisted, they would be called names until they did compromise. It’s been a one-sided game that conservative people have become sick of, and they have been seeking new types of Republicans for years, creating the MAGA movement in America.

I have been watching and participating in this process for years. First, we could see it in the various central committees at the local level, where the topic of RINOs was brought up in the early Tea Party days. In my area, I knew Rob Portman when he was first getting started, and John Boehner is one of my neighbors, so he always comes up. When he was Speaker of the House, he thought he was one of the most conservative people on planet earth, and his most significant accomplishment was in bringing the Pope to Congress. He was stunned to learn that area people were calling him a RINO starting around 2012, along with Governor Kasich at the time, who was too prone to compromise with Democrats over just about everything. After all, to them, that’s what politics was all about, compromise. Well, people were getting tired of losing, and this was before there was ever a Trump on the national stage in politics. At that time, he only had a television show and wrote best-selling books. People wanted Republicans to fight back, not to compromise with evil. Not to compromise with people who obviously wanted to destroy American life in every way that we know it. Compromising with evil was giving it power. I was with a senator at the time who was called a RINO to his face by people he thought respected him. He was a good guy playing by what he thought were the rules of politics, to be the bigger person and lead by example. The expectation was that if we gave a little, then the other side would give a little, and in that way, progress would get done. But, in truth, Democrats just kept taking, and taking, and taking. They never gave up anything. So that made the RINOs look like fools, and voters were tired of fools who didn’t win. So they voted for President Trump and have stuck with him no matter what because he has been the only politician in their memory who promised them victory. And for a win, they will put up with a lot to get it, and they sure have.

As Biden fell off his bicycle, he was obviously playing way over his head. This was not the job they had promised him. The administrative state has lost control, and Biden is the puppet left on the stage without a hand to guide it. So, he’s making mistakes all over the place. He can’t handle the pressure because he was never meant to. And he’s constantly complaining because he’s craving the “old-fashioned” Republicans who used to let Democrats win all the time. If only they could get back to those days. The fact that he’s complaining about it as much as he is says everything about the public pressure behind the scenes. He’s a hapless old man who has lost his political savvy and often repeats what his 20-something political radicals in his administration say. They don’t know what to do, they are losing to Republicans in every way it can be measured, and their party isn’t built for any of it. Democrats are built to use the Saul Alinsky playbook to harass conservatives into making all the compromise, while the Democrats spread vast evil across the world and call it “bipartisanship.” Voters are sick of that deal and have been for a long time. Trump is the leader of the MAGA movement for now, but slowly these Democrats are starting to learn, people want winners in the Republican Party. And other Republicans like Ron DeSantis are figuring out that formula, and the cat is out of the bag. I’ve been watching the process for a long time, and I can say it’s not going back to those RINO compromises. Instead, destroying the Democrat Party is what voters want, especially after what happened in the events leading up to 2020. And the pressure on Democrats is tremendous, and they are showing that the pressure is getting to them in all kinds of little ways, particularly in crashing bicycles and falling down just going up steps.

The Best Thing that Could Happen with the J6 Committee Would be to Indict President Trump: Accelerating the end of the Democrat Party

We all know by now what the UnSelect Committee, who has been putting on a show trial over what they say is the darkest day in American history, January 6th, 2021, is up to. They are seeking to hide the election fraud they participated in, and they hope they can use the proceedings to indict President Trump and tie him up in court to disqualify him from running in 2024, which they are terrified of. And to all that, I think there would be nothing better for our country than to have Trump indicted because, in the process, there would be legal discovery and all kinds of a mess that would be blasted into the mainstream news cycle that has so far been contained from the public. The result of that would be a complete destruction of the Democrat Party. Which I think is destroying itself quite nicely. But an indictment of Trump would be the end of them and the established order of the Beltway, which would turn out to be far greater than just having Trump run for President again, only to go through the same kind of resistance we saw before. The pressure of Trump is far greater than actually being in the White House. There are a lot of people who could run for President in 2024 who could represent the MAGA movement.  Ron DeSantis comes to mind.  What is being built presently is a new kind of political movement that will far outlast many of the people currently holding office. The net result of all these efforts will save our nation from the looters and scumbags who have given us the mess we see now. But an indictment of Trump would accelerate the process in ways that nobody has been thinking about and would be very beneficial to the ultimate destruction of the Democrat Party due to the kind of case that would be put on full display for all to see. 

What we see happening with the J6 Hearing spectacle is the undoing of the George Bush era New World Order that Klaus Schwab and the other Desecrators of Davos are fully committed to today, with billions of dollars in personal assets fully dedicated to the change state of America from a capitalist country and into a socialist one. They stand to lose a lot of money and power if Trump returns to the White House, which is why they rigged the 2020 election. They couldn’t afford for people to run their own elections; it put at risk all the money and power they had built up over many years. It’s a globalist view of the world that started to be dismantled by the election of Trump in 2016. Back then, the system chiefs thought it was all a joke. They had rigged elections for years and knew how to keep things close to make Americans think they actually picked their own representatives. But most people didn’t believe in the system at all and just didn’t participate, making it easy for the “uniparty” to run all things any way they wanted to. They gave us fake wars and fake economic cycles. They manipulated everything to the gradual sell-off of our country to globalist investors while hiding their vile actions behind red, white, and blue patriotism and selling themselves as patriots as well. But truly, what they were preserving was a kind of Beltway aristocracy that many in the political class craved more than a thirsty person desires water in a hot desert. They wanted power over others more than anything else in the world, so they built a corrupt system to give themselves that power. They had to share it with other Beltway types, but so long as they were members of an elite aristocracy, they were happy to at least do that. 

Then along came Trump running as a person who didn’t need the donor class. He understood the media better than the media understood itself. And he knew how to make real business deals because he had built his brand doing so very publicly. So people showed up and voted for him in more numbers than the election cheats could deal with, and he snuck under the algorithm door in 2016, much to the surprise of everyone. Then, the Beltway, including Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and many others, worked for the next four years to undo the person that the people picked because the hidden little secret all along was that the Beltway ultimately picked the people it put in office. Voters were supposed just to play along, vote to make everything look like a choice, then go quietly back to sleep while the Washington Beltway types sold America away to everyone willing to pay a little cash for the opportunity. And in the process, they have committed so many vast crimes of excessive evil that the parameters were unfathomable to ordinary people. And while Trump was in office, so many crimes were committed to get rid of him, of the people’s pick, that many more crimes were committed by the FBI and the Department of Defense—especially regarding Covid. Many of the things that Wikileaks was publishing which could be traced back to many of the congresspeople and senators we see on television every night, were caught up to some extent or another in sedition, treason, and worse. Actions against America and its constitution left them no choice but to support complete insurrection to foreign interests to hide the crimes they had committed over many years. 

Ultimately, the desire to get rid of Trump and to prevent him from returning to the White House is the desire to cover up all these crimes with a phony trial by the UnSelect Committee over January 6th. The abuse of authority already displayed over Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, General Flynn, Rudy Guiliani, Steve Bannon, and Peter Navarro crossed the line long ago. But to put Trump at the front of the room with all the evidence he has collected along the way and the mouthpiece to sell it to the public, there would be no way for the Beltway types to survive that. We are dealing with new territory politically that we have never experienced before. An indictment would only accelerate a process of destruction that the Beltway has brought on itself. They are the ones with everything to hide, and their attempt to hide so much scandal behind the legitimacy of law and order would only work if people weren’t paying attention. But now, they are paying attention, and the bad guys no longer have control over the media. Social media is more than just Facebook, Google, and Twitter. Fox News does not represent conservatives like it once did; there are many other options now than there were even a few years ago. They don’t have control over what people say to each other. They do not have control of publishing, of anything really. The word of their crimes has gotten out, and now too many people know. It’s over for them already. By indicting Trump, they would only accelerate that process by years and compress them into months. So nothing would be better than to indict Trump. The government cannot live up to the measure they are enforcing on Trump, which is to say that he had an obligation to stop people from behaving the way they did on January 6th, to be angry at election fraud as they knew it at the time and felt that the government had not respected their vote.

The great fear behind the charade of the J6 spectacle is that the political class is not in charge of the millions of people they had taken for granted for decades. And the potential for all-out violence was a genuine fear for them. But in context, they would have nothing to fear if they had not acted so poorly and tried to hide so many crimes behind a façade of political theater. The tricks of old will not work any longer. People are awake to it, and they aren’t going back to sleep. And indicting Trump would only accelerate their own inevitable destruction, which couldn’t come sooner. So yes, indict President Trump, and let’s get the complete destruction of the Democrat Party out of the way once and for all.

The Message from the SWAMP: Voters are not in charge, the administrative state is

I’ve thought from the beginning that there was massive election fraud in the 2020 election. I watch these kinds of things intently and was watching the news coverage as the steal took place late in the night when people went to bed witnessing a sizable Trump lead, where even Vegas was calling it for Trump. Then in the morning, Biden suddenly had these huge spikes of voter infusions. I watch enough of these things to notice that something was very wrong with the performance of the vote counters, to say it lightly. At that early time, it wasn’t the evidence of voter fraud that we had to go on, but it was the continued behavior of the SWAMP itself, after the Durham Report, the two impeachments over nothing, the spying on the campaign, the actions of the FBI, the complicity of the media, we knew on election night November 3rd that they weren’t all just going to go away and suddenly give up. As I say all the time, judge people based on what they do, not what they say, and you’ll know the truth even in the most voracious lier. So in that regard, the election fraud was blatant, even if, at that moment, we weren’t sure to what extent. Now, after two years of trickling evidence, which grows by the day, there is no question that Trump had the election stolen from him, but worse than that, it was the real people’s pick that was stolen, and that is a problem far greater than the mess we find ourselves in now. We are seeing a conflict play out that goes back to before the Revolutionary War itself, the clash between the idea of America and the conformity of Europe, to the world suddenly being smashed together through technology in uncomfortable ways. The election problems of 2020 were about a lot more than just getting Trump out of the White House.

Essentially, by the morning of November 4th, the collection of bureaucrats, thieves, insurgents, and international bankers were saying with a smile on their faces, “you, the people, are not in charge. We, the administrative state, are, and there is nothing you can do about it.”  They stole the election to essentially protect the same premise that the War of 1812 was all about, can people govern themselves, or were they always to be at the mercy of the aristocratic administrative state types? The answer was evident in their actions. They would not live in a society where people ruled themselves because it invalidated everything they stood for as people. They were refusing to let people govern themselves, and if they had to be obvious about it, instead of hiding in the background allowing the poor fools to believe they were running things, then so be it. They dared us to challenge them and now are panicked by the results. Even going into the details of what happened over Covid, we saw a world thrown together that was run mainly by socialists and communists who were jealous of America in so many ways that they were going to destroy it any way they could. They no longer cared if people knew what they were up to or not. They had lost patience with the whole debate, and that’s why with smiles on their faces on November 4th, they felt utterly validated to declare that Trump had lost and people were just going to have to get over it. Their message to all of us was to put our masks on and shut up. And if you question the election in public, we’ll destroy your life, as they attempted to do with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Mike Lindell.

I have always said that people, especially in America, will follow the rules until they no longer work. Even now, obviously, the government has been caught in not just stealing the 2020 election for its own reasons of self-preservation, but they murdered people behind the Covid social conditions, and they knew what they were doing as they were doing it, which will be the subject of much future material for me. The evidence in hindsight is quite clear to see the purposes for social distancing, masking, and mandatory vaccinations. The types of people who love the administrative state and their role in it were literally willing to kill to preserve it. So election fraud to them was a gift. At least people weren’t massively slaughtered in the process of a coup in the White House, and people should be happy about it. That’s why it was so terrifying to them what happened when voters with some impassioned instincts about not certifying a fake election stormed the capitol on January 6th in frustration by what they had witnessed. Several hundred thousand people had come to hear Trump speak at a Stop the Steal Rally at the White House, and that was terrifying to the administrative state, which had organized so many mass riots and caused so much damage during all of 2020. Even after a year of Covid, people were willing to come out into the cold to support President Trump or even the idea of him, a people’s pick. At the end of the day, a portion broke into the Capitol Building to let the politicians know there that they weren’t in charge; the people were. 

Many people have offered that the efforts of the January 6th Committee and the optics that have been shown on television are purely put on to hide the bad inflation numbers of Democrats controlling all three houses of our government. Or the many other missteps that are destroying the world, especially the liberal commitment to eradicating the economy of America to save the world from their religion of fanatics regarding climate change. Their actions on gas prices, food shortages, and other deliberate terrorist acts are far more radical than the terrorists who blew up the World Trade Center by running planes into them or the actions at WACO, Ruby Ridge, or Oklahoma City. The January 6th Committee is about more than anything anybody has so far put their mind around. It is about aspects of many things, but at its heart is the hatred of people who think they can rule themselves and not have their “betters” ruling over them for their own good because the answer to that question is one that the human race has never had to answer, except to leave places and to resettle in areas with less bureaucrats in them over the last 10,000 years. The human race collided for the first time because the planet was too small to any longer ignore the question. As Trump likes to call them, the Unselect Committee has one purpose and one purpose only, to ensure that the administrative state is in charge and that voters were not.

To become in charge, you had to be in the “in” group like they were. You couldn’t just rule yourself. They were happy to play along all this time and let us think we were in charge, so long as they pulled the strings. But after two elections of Trump, they had lost patience to play the game any longer, and they expected us to kneel to their power. And when we didn’t, then insisted that we were still in charge, like many did that day on January 6th, well, that was a bridge too far for them, and that’s where we find ourselves presently. They aren’t willing to give up power or what they think is power. And they will do anything to keep it, even kill if necessary. In that way, we know who we are dealing with, and there is no way that this all ends in peace.   The question is, can it end without lives lost. That will depend on the authenticity of the next election. People are willing to give elections a chance. But they will not be ruled by incompetent losers from the administrative state, and that for those who are, is the scariest thing in the world—not having power and knowing that the people of the world refuse to be ruled over by the administrative class.

“The Disrupter,” Jennifer Gross, Gets an Award: Standing up for what’s right when it costs the most to do so

At the Patriot Awards at the end of May 2022, Jennifer Gross, my State Representative, received the Ignition Award. When I talk about Jennifer, I refer to her as “The Disrupter,” and she likes it. I don’t mean it in a negative way when I say it. I think she satisfies a much-needed role in Ohio politics. On the one hand, there is stoic politeness that is part of the process of writing and voting on new legislation. Bridgebuilding with others is very much a part of that process, and often, politicians find that by the time they compromise with everyone to get something done, there isn’t much left of their original idea. And during her first term as a House Rep for the 52nd District in Ohio, she has caused consternation. I wouldn’t say she’s made enemies because she is a very likable person. But she’s too independent for many people’s liking  in the Statehouse.

On the other hand, many are very critical of the political process and see all the compromises that have to go on as evil and part of doing the devil’s work. All the bridgebuilding that goes on with lobbyists and other members of the House and Senate is what many say give politics a bad name because the people they are supposed to be representing are not part of that process. From my perspective, Jennifer Gross does an excellent job threading the needle of all those forces to do what she thinks is an excellent job for all the people in her district, even if they didn’t vote for her. And she is certainly deserving of an award for going above and beyond when it counted most during 2021 and 2022. 

Things did get very hairy several times during the fall of 2021 when Joe Biden, the illegally inserted president who had no authority to do so, issued an executive order mandating that OSHA manage mandatory vaccinations and that all federal employees, anybody who touches a federal contract which is nearly impossible these days because the government sticks its nose in everyone’s business to such a large extent, would have to get mandatory vaccinations. This was a huge problem. It was detrimental for the government to insist that people put medicine in their bodies to work. It was undoubtedly a sensitive exploitation of the standard Chamber of Commerce position of employer sustainability. Employers needed to maintain their rights to regulate their own workforce and impose the things required for their business, such as proper PPE like steel-toed shoes, gloves, and safety glasses. The Biden order made it hard for Republicans to defend employee rights and still support the Chamber of Commerce’s position of employer obligations. Suddenly, the way the Covid vaccine shot was being proposed was meant to split those elements and put them in combat with each other. It was a complicated issue to navigate politically, which was part of the federal plan to take over the entire industry with ill-defined rights. It took months for the legislature in Ohio to respond correctly, and by the time they did, it was too late. The saving grace in the matter turned out to be court cases that were striking down the mandate in federal court as being what we all knew was unconstitutional from the beginning. Yet, that didn’t stop the federal government from trying. 

Before the Biden administration issued their executive orders mandating vaccine mandates, in September of 2021, Jennifer Gross sponsored H.B. 248, the Vaccine Choice and Anti-Discrimination Act in April. It was introduced to get in front of the problem, but it received a lot of pushback. Many legislators were upset by Jennifer’s approach to the bill and her unwillingness to do the kind of team building that was required to get that kind of legislation to move through the House. At that precise time, Jennifer was way in front of what was acceptable criteria for the validity of the vaccines. Many in the House leadership were not comfortable with the testimony that Jennifer was offering showing that the vaccines might be potentially dangerous. Like the election fraud issue, challenging the premise of the mandatory vaccines was a political nightmare because many wanted to believe that an answer to a major pandemic could be solved through institutionalism, not individual free will. So even Republicans were split on the matter.

Meanwhile, the tick-tock of the clock was pushing toward mandatory enforcement, and the House was stuck on how to proceed. Defend the individual person or the company where people are employed. Could people just vote with their feet and leave their companies only to jump out of the frying pan and into the pressure cooker. Either way, individuals were being imposed upon by the federal government. Jennifer’s positions, which sounded really radical at the time, turned out to be correct, which is the contents of the Robert Kenndy Jr. book, The Real Anthoney Fauci, where the danger of the vaccines, the government position on Covid, and the origins of Covid under bioweapons direction from the Department of Defense have all turned out to be true. At the time, nobody but Jennifer Gross even considered doing anything about standing up for individual people in a case of blatant government tyranny and extreme overreach.   

Jennifer can afford to be a disrupter, upset House leadership, and challenge them healthily. She has a nice husband. They are not in debt, and she has no care in the world at all to become wealthy. They are a happy couple who are not beholden to many people in the world and are free to make their own personal choices, which made Jennifer free to take a position on the vaccine mandates. When things really got heavy in those challenging moments of government overreach coming straight out of the White House, Jennifer showed what kind of person she was, and we are lucky to have her. There were a lot of lessons learned during that episode that everyone is much more prepared for going into the future. When things got really heavy, and it mattered most, Jennifer Gross was willing to disrupt a process that the Biden administration was clearly exploiting for power grabs meant to erode away the constitution through the nature of the bureaucracy of state government. And without Jennifer, there wouldn’t have been much discussion about pushback. When federal judges were thinking about what to do on this executive order ruling, there is no question that the national debate that Jennifer Gross was a part of bringing the legal questions that they had to consider to the front of the discussion. And when those judges saw how the case was shaping up, with state representatives like Jennifer Gross pushing back against vaccine validity when Ohio State University was going the other way, its clear that the value wasn’t in the legislation that would be passed in the House to become actual law, but that the debate was in constitutional validity which the judges saw would shape how history remembered the matter. And when it was most dangerous to have those opinions, Jennifer wasn’t afraid of the consequences. She did what was right, even if it cost her to do it. So in that context, Jennifer Gross, “The Disrupter,” did Ohio an excellent service. And the political world is much better off for it, and she certainly deserved the award she received at the Patriot Awards.

Elon Musk Voting for Republicans: There is no way an intelligent person can support Democrats for anything

The sudden shock of Elon Musk saying that he is now a Republican or that he’ll vote Republican in the upcoming midterms is not a surprise. Actually, as a guy now in his 50s, he’s right on course for where many people arrive during their lives if they have reasonable intelligence. You really can’t be an intelligent person and be a Democrat. It’s impossible to reconcile intelligence with liberalism. Liberalism is a feeling not founded in logic, so anybody who has some level of intelligence will eventually figure out that liberal ideas are ridiculously stupid. Elon Musk has tried to make liberal ideas work. He was successful young and enjoyed the company of idealistic young people. He even smoked pot on the Joe Rogan podcast. But he has never been good with the Biden administration. Biden wants electric cars with massive government infrastructure. Musk has built several companies that are very independent of government influence, even if he did take government subsidies to start those companies. Ultimately, Musk has learned a hard lesson in life that the government wants to run private industry and their means to do that is always through labor unions under the protection of the Department of Labor. So the Biden administration has targeted Tesla with its wrath to protect their own investment into Ford and General Motors, hoping to use high gas prices to drive consumers to buy those dumb electric cars, the fancy golf carts. Tesla was the first, but the government wants them and Elon Musk out of the way because Musk won’t allow unions to run his shops, and a hard lesson has been learned that has caused the billionaire to look to Republicans for sanity.

This path that Musk is on, a gradual conversion over to Republican thought, isn’t new. Ronald Reagan went on a similar track. So did Donald Trump. There are lots of people who used to be Democrats who get to their 40s and 50s and life and realize that Democrats are takers, looters, and every kind of parasite that you can imagine. And they grow up and away from liberalism and become more conservative as they get older. Musk has been saying that he has stayed the same but that the political spectrum has moved radically to the left, which is true to a certain extent. The political left we see today is what I have been saying for decades was always beneath the surface.

But additionally, there comes a time when you realize that doing business with Democrats is impossible unless you give over everything you own to their view of collectivism. With Musk doing so well with Tesla and SpaceX, it’s clear that he will not be able to control those companies and still continue to vote as a Democrat. The illusion that Democrats are anything but professional looters in the world comes to anybody who lives long enough to reconcile reality. You hear a lot of Democrats who become Republicans. But you don’t see a lot of Republicans turning into Democrats. When you look at an electoral map of America, there aren’t many Democrat blue areas. There are massive groups of dependents made that way due to Democrat socialism, but people generally don’t choose to penalize themselves with liberal ideas. That is another reason why Democrats are always looking for young people and illegal immigrants to keep their political base intact. Democrats need people without much life experience or understanding of the American way of life to buy into their collectivist political philosophies because they lose many of their members to Republicans, especially later in life. For Democrats, the political game is just smoke and mirrors. 

Musk’s journey was inevitable. Traditional conservatives may not want to let Musk have a seat at the table due to his beliefs in transhumanism and non-Biblical thoughts. But in the world of ideas, all conservatives have some basic concepts in common, the understanding that government doesn’t make jobs. It simply loots off what others do create. For Musk, there is no way to go to Mars and have a human race that moves into space to live. No socialist community on Mars will be successful, so when you look at things like that, the only way to fulfill Elon Musk’s dreams of going to space and living on Mars is to embrace capitalism aggressively because there is no other way to start a prosperous society or to maintain it without capitalism. All the variations of Karl Marx’s philosophy were always rooted in failure, which is to say all of the modern Democrat party and anybody in the world who calls themselves a progressive. Many people go to college and learn a liberal education. They do all the dumb liberal stuff like party too much and listen to all the wrong kinds of music. They try to dedicate their lives to altruism. But once those people start having families and those families grow up, it becomes quite apparent to most intelligent people that Democrats are the wrong way to go, and they gradually turn into Republicans. I would go so far as to say that you cannot call yourself smart and not be a Republican. It’s not a matter of team politics; it’s simple logic. A person’s journey along a political spectrum is driven by what works in the world and what doesn’t. 

The contrasts between a Trump presidency and now the Biden mess will produce many more Elon Musk types who used to walk the fence between liberals and conservatives. I never liked the murky middle because it allows the looters of the world to hide among the good and hard working. Liberals are like the water boy on a football team that wins the Super Bowl. They get to be part of a winning team without doing much work at actually producing a win. Liberals suck the life out of everything they do, and when you build great companies like Elon Musk has, who are doing great things in the world, the problem moves from cosmetic lip service to liberalism to downright hatred.   Especially when you are the first to actually make electric cars to make all the environmental climate change fanatics happy, only to be shoved out of the market because the local labor union isn’t running the management of your company, once you realize how the game is played and what Democrats actually stand for, there is no way a reasonable person could call themselves one. I watched Donald Trump go through the same basic trajectory in his life. When he was doing The Apprentice for NBC, he was much like Musk, playing on the liberal side of things. But Trump married a conservative woman who pulled him in the right direction, and over time, during his marriage, he had no choice but to move toward the Republican Party. Many people were like Trump and Musk; they might be fiscally conservative but socially liberal. However, life has a way of demanding that fiscal and social policy must be aligned; there is no way to cheat the system. You can’t behave like a liberal at a dinner party and still run great companies, or a great country, or even raise a good family. You have to be conservative to do things well in life, which means that those who want to do well must become Republicans. Elon Musk is a smart guy and, late in life, has figured out the obvious. So it’s no miracle that he’s planning to vote Republican. And behind him are a whole lot of other people too, who have come to the same conclusions. They always do.
