Cold Anger is not driven to spite itself. It is more deliberate; more resolved; deeper. Cold Anger is unnervingly quiet, generally and comfortably invisible, and quite mannerly in outward disposition. However, that said, when it matters most... Cold Anger drives a reckoning.
I have written a great deal about "Cold Anger", beginning in 2015, because -in my opinion- it reconciles and explains a lot of the difficult to define energy behind Donald Trump that most surface pundits just don't understand.
Cold Anger is an internal sensibility. Not visible.
Here's my word salad buffet of the difficult to define "Cold Anger", starting with: Why it exists?
(1) When Americans see that justice is measured, not by due process, but by compulsion...
(2) ... When Americans we see that in order to invoke our right to due process, we need to obtain permission from those who rebuke the constitution;....
(3) ..."when Americans see that justice is determined by those who leverage authority, not in law, but in politics;...
(4) ..."when we see that representatives get power over individual liberty by graft and by scheme, and our representatives don’t protect us against them, but protect them against us;"...
(5) ..."when Americans see corruption holding influence and individual liberty so easily dispatched and nullified; at an inherent and internal level we know that our own freedom is also at risk."
Most Americans can actually still see the bigger picture.
When we carry that sense and then see a President state a very obvious truth that no-one ever dare articulate with brutal honesty:
...."You Have Always Been Loyal to This Nation, Now You Finally Have a President Who is Loyal To You”…
That statement hits home. It hits deep.
Most Americans go quietly about their business trying to do the next best thing for themselves, their family, their friends and their community.
Most Americans just go about living without much discussion; and we don't try to interfere in the liberty or happiness of others.
But we notice stuff.
We notice the things that are put in front of us that are not fair, even if they are not happening to us. The expectation of fairness is actually very important to us.
Construct unfair systems, and we notice. We don't say anything, but we notice.
That deep and inherent expectation holds the key to understanding Cold Anger.
It's a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior; that's why it is a *cold* anger. A longer fuse per se'.
Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed when we meet. You cannot poll or measure it; specifically because most who carry it avoid discussion…
And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.
We watched the passage of Obamacare at 1:38am on the day before Christmas Eve in 2009. We watched the Senate, then the House attempt passing Amnesty in 2014. We know exactly how it passed, and we know exactly why it passed. We don’t need to stand around talking about it….
We know what lies hidden behind “cloture” and the UniParty schemes.
We watched the 2009 $900+ billion Stimulus Bill being spent each year, every year, for seven consecutive years. Omnibus, Porkulous, QE1, QE2, Bailouts, Crony-Capitalism. We know exactly how this works, and we know exactly why this ruse is maintained.
We don’t need to stand around talking about it…. We’re beyond talking, and far beyond thinking that negotiations over the timing of our demise are even worthwhile.
Cold Anger does not offer, nor request, any terms...
We accept the entire Senate voted to block President Trump’s ability to use recess appointments in 2017, and 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Every.Single.Democrat.And.Republican.
Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently.
We’ve watched the ridiculing of cops, the riots, and the lack of support for laws, or their enforcement. We’ve been absorbing all that. We’ve been exposed to violence upon us by paid operatives of the organized DNC machine.
We know this stuff. The media trying to hide it doesn’t change our level of information.
Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful.
We watched in 2012 as the Democrat party thrice denied God during their convention. The doors to evil enterprise opened by official proclamation and request.
Cold Anger takes notice of the liars, even from a great distance – seemingly invisible to the mob.
Cold Anger will still hold open the door for the riot goer. Mannerly.
We’ve watched our borders being intentionally unsecured.
We’ve watched Islamic Terrorists slaughter Americans as our politicians proclaim their uncertainty of motive. We know exactly who they are, and why they are doing it. We do not need to stand around discussing it…. we’re clear-eyed.
Cold Anger evidenced is more severe because it is more strategic, and more purposeful. Eric Cantor’s defeat, Brexit, Donald Trump’s highest vote tally in the history of presidential primaries.... or even President Trump’s 2016 victory might aide your understanding.
Cold Anger does not gloat; it absorbs consistent vilification and ridicule as fuel. This sensibility does not want to exist, it is forced to exist in otherwise unwilling hosts – we also refuse to be destabilized by it.
Illicit trade schemes, employment and the standard of living in Vietnam and Southeast Asia are more important to Wall Street and DC lobbyists, than the financial security of Youngstown Ohio.
We get it. We understand. We didn’t create that reality, we are simply responding to it.
The intelligence apparatus of our nation was weaponized against a presidential candidate by those who controlled the levers of government. Now, with sanctimonious declarations they dismiss accountability.
Deliberate intent and prudence ensures we avoid failure. The course is thoughtful vigilance; it is a strategy devoid of emotion. The media can call us anything they want, it really doesn’t matter…. we’re far beyond the place where labels matter.
Foolishness and betrayal of our nation have served to reveal dangers within our present condition. Misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, is neither safe nor wise. We know exactly who Donald Trump is, and we also know what he is not.
Donald Trump is exactly what we need at this moment.
He is a necessary, defiant and glorious fighter.
He is our weapon.
Cold Anger is not driven to act in spite of itself; it drives a reckoning.
When the U.S. flags lay gleefully undefended, they do not lay unnoticed. When the stars and stripes are controversial, yet a foreign flag is honored – we are paying attention.
When millionaire football players kneel down rather than honor our fallen soldiers and stand proud of our country, we see that.
When a school community cannot openly pray, it does not mean the prayerful were absent.
When a liar seems to win, it is not without observation.
Many – more than the minority would like to admit – know the difference between science, clocks and political agendas.
Cold Anger perceives deception the way a long-term battered person absorbs blows in the hours prior to a pre-planned exit; with purpose.
A shield, or cry of micro-aggression will provide no benefit, nor quarter. Delicate sensibilities dispatched like a feather in a hurricane.
We are patient, but also purposeful. Pushed far enough, decisions are reached.
This man has faced opposition that would overwhelm any other President. Our chosen President is constantly attacked by those holding a corrupt, conniving and Godless leftist ideology.
It is our job now to stand with him, firm on his behalf.
Donald Trump is an existential threat to the existence of a corrupt DC system we have exposed to his disinfecting sunlight. Donald Trump is the existential threat to every entity who benefits from that corrupt and vile system.
The fundamental construct within decades of their united global efforts to tear at the very fabric of our U.S.A is being eliminated. They too have nothing to lose; their desperation becomes visible within their apoplexy; and they’re damn sure displaying it.
As a result Americans have learned to throw aside the sense of discomfort as we bear witness to the evil we oppose.
Eyes focused on the hatred aimed in our direction. We stand firm amid the solace of our number, and NOW we resolve to the specific task at hand.
Cold Anger cannot, and is not, being polled.
