I Deny Thee, Thou Shalt Not Enter Here

We've discussed the 5 stages of grief before, and we'll review them again today. The first is Denial, and a point often missed is how GOOD Denial can be for us. It can be an act of will.

2) The order I teach the stages in is slightly different than the original. Here's my list:

1) Denial
2) Bargaining
3) Anger
4) Despair
5) Acceptance

We'll do a quick run through over the 2020 Election theft.

3) Republican Grief:

I deny that Biden is the lawful president. I shall not let him pass into my heart as such. He is a thief. I deal with this by bargaining my way to oppositional action, action in which my anger is powerfully channeled. My action may not succeed. No matter.

4) Republican Grief cont'd:

I dwell within my anger and rage and absorb its mighty purpose. I will not let my anger go unacted upon. It does cool, and I am tempted by despair. I return to my righteous bargaining. I shall not surrender.

5) I do despair over the beloved nation I thought we were but in fact were not. I accept that we have lost definitive aspects of our soul as a nation. We will not get those back. We must rebuild our nation, stronger and better than before. I accept that.

6) In letting go of the past and entering fully into the right now present, I find a peace that passeth all understanding in the power and might of the mission. We must rebuild a better America and a better Virginia, too. This is my true acceptance. We shall succeed.

7) Today’s focus is the great good of Denial. Without Denial there can be no boundary, no border, no safety from danger, no protection for that which is dear and good and right. We must deny evil its power.

8) McAuliffe is one of the most evil men in America, and in Virginia. Consider every evil perpetrated by the Clinton Crime Family. McAuliffe bears complete responsibility for every crime they committed, directly or indirectly. He makes VA Clinton country. Home of their evil.

9) The political term for what is needed right now is Negative Campaigning. The mandate for Negative Campaigning is indisputable. You cannot win merely by extolling your own virtues. Politics demands you proclaim your opponent's vices. Both are required. This cannot be disputed.

10) I am asking every ally and friend I have to embrace this challenge right now. What is the resume of McAuliffe's evil? Can we have a timeline showing just how evil he truly is? This is my request. Let us paint a crystal clear picture of McAuliffe's history of evil.

11) The Republican Party of Virginia has released 2.5 million votes by NOT having a primary this year. The normal cycle allows only one vote and Virginians can choose to place the vote in either primary, Democrat or Republican, only one.

12) But this year, with no Republican primary, here we are Virginia Republicans, with 2.5 million votes to use, or to lose this cycle. What to do? The first thing is to find our iron will to deny McAuliffe the joy of his evil power. He is a monster whom we must stop, cold.

13) In our act of denial, it is important to be precise in our thinking. This election is NOT for the Governor's seat. It is for the Democrat Nominee to run for Governor in the fall. And with our 2.5 million votes, we Virginia Republicans have the power to determine the outcome.

14) So I ask, Virginia Republicans, will you join me in denying McAuliffe his easy victory? Will you join me in denying the Clinton Crime Family their evil control over our great Commonwealth? We can prevent the absorption of our State into Clinton hands. We must do so.

15) The principle that we must employ our vote as the highest of civic responsibilities does not flag, here. We must use our vote if we are to have voice, to speak, to speak boldly as we ought to speak. We must vote. We must use our power of denial with this vote.

16) But this cannot be a mere playacted game. All of our 2.5 million votes, if not targeted against McAuliffe will still fail to deny him his evil power over Virginia. For our vote to have meaning, we must come together and select the candidate of our choice against him.

17) My analysis of the other 4 candidates leads me to Justin Fairfax. His name has recognition, one of the most important aspects of political power. Even if not actually associated with the man himself, simply recognizing a name is vote power. This matters, greatly.

18) In this unique moment, we want to vote for the Democrat most likely to get Democrat votes, and who will be their strongest candidate in the fall. We must remember that we will oppose Fairfax in the fall, even as we support him right now. It will be a real fight.

19) I predict that if we fail to nominate Fairfax now, not only does McAuliffe walk away with the nomination, he'll be close to undefeatable, or maybe absolutely undefeatable in the general election. I believe that if we fail to stop him now, we have ushered in our new Governor.

20) Power has its own dynamics and force factors. One of the principles of power is that it must be used. If you have power but choose NOT to use it, you begin to lose it. What good is our Republican majority in Virginia if we allow our government to be deep blue?

21) Right now, I repeat, we have the power to completely and easily determine the Democrat Nominee. If we fail to use this power, why should the Democrats have the slightest fear of our decision in the fall? They will rightly see us as weak and walk without fear to their victory.

22) Allow this realization to enter your mind, heart, and soul. We Virginia Republicans may use our 2.5 million votes, or we may not. We may coalesce to express our will, or we may not. We may deny McAuliffe the joy of his power, or we may not. It is our choice.

23) It is a principle of power that you cannot achieve what you cannot conceive. You cannot accomplish what you do not think, understand, comprehend, and own first in mind, second in action. To convert thought into action requires true comprehension.

24) We must bend our collective Republican minds to see and understand the vast reach of our power. If we wish to take back the Governor's Office in the fall, we must act now to determine our opponent. Fail to act now, waste 2.5 million votes, and what does that do to us?

25) If we allow McAuliffe to be our opponent it will be a choice made by passive complacency. If he wins, he will know, all the Democrats will know that we are not bold, not organized, not willful, and will NOT use our power of denial. We in fact welcome McAuliffe that way.

26) That brings us to the question of how people learn. How does a political party rise up in its power and speak, and roar, and command? How does it learn that it is powerful? How does one individual learn? How does a group learn? There's an interesting answer we proved in 2016.

27) Memes. We learn visually. Memes have the power to create spontaneous, instant comprehension, and most especially the comprehension of political power, the power to deny evil its joy. This meme teaches us our power over this Democrat primary.

28) 2.5 million Virginia Republicans need to see that meme. It implants the idea with 1,000 times the force of me just yammering about the idea in words alone. Every Virginia Republican needs to have this idea, and clearly comprehend it. All you need to do is retweet the meme.

29) This meme is powerful in painting the picture of a Fairfax nomination. It totters the certainty of the otherwise inevitable McAuliffe win. It additionally empowers the mind to imagine McAuliffe's fall without saying a word about McAuliffe. I love this simple meme!

30) Then there are our hashtags. Remember that hashtags cross over from Twitter into every other platform. They convey our mission with unstoppable logic. Just use our hashtags over and over in your posts.

We Virginia Republicans must #DefeatMcAuliffeNow by voting #FairfaxForVA.

31) I'll close today's meditation with a few thoughts about power and Saul Alinsky. Part of his genius was that he offered power to his followers while denying it to their opponents. Alinsky taught his people to both use power, happily, and deny it to us at the same time.

32) We know that freedom is not free. On this sacred day we remember all who died to make us free. Our warriors sacrificed their lives facing enemies from without who would take away, who would deny us our freedom if allowed. They make us mighty, these heroes who died for us.

33) Yet it is our job to fight and defeat all enemies within. We do not do this with bullets and with blood. We do it with ballots and the vote. Yet the social power that Alinsky gives his side is something we have yet to address. We are not fighting for our freedoms well, yet.

34) I truly judge and reject Alinsky's ethics and methods in their use for evil purposes. I truly embrace his mastery over the existence of power itself and the mandate that it be used. I demand that we use our power for righteous purposes and in righteous ways. Our honor counts.

35) The left, in tearing down all our cultural icons, has for many decades attacked our chivalric tradition. They have portrayed all knights as callous, selfish, power hungry men of violence. They have denuded our knights of their honor. I reject this utterly.

36) A knight is dubbed with a sword. He masters his weapons and can wreak down righteous force against evil. This is the answer to Alinsky. We must stop being his suckers, not claiming our power for good. We will NOT accept his values. We must accept his analysis of power.

37) There is a simple answer to the question of political power. It is in organizing voters for a purpose. We can even forget the vote for a moment. Political power is the ability to offer a vision that captures the mind and will of a group of people ready for action.

38) The ultimate principle of political inspiration is a vision of victory. This is what Trump gave us, awakening us to our power in 2016. And the left knew that it must attack and destroy that vision of victory or our power would overwhelm them utterly.

39) It is time we begin to build such visions for ourselves. Trump cannot inspire Virginians to #DefeatMcAuliffeNow. It is not his remit. If we're going to do so, it is on us to build our own victory vision. We have this ability. We can do it. And do it righteously.

40) As proud Virginia Republicans, @KateScopelliti and I will be voting for Justin Fairfax on June 8. Between now and then we will attempt to persuade as many others as we can. Please join us. It is time to...

#DefeatMcAuliffeNow by voting...
