3) But why didn’t your civics education include my 4 Commandments? Simple. They are antithetical to the liberal left’s agenda. Their coup is NOT supported by aware patriots.
4) There is a higher calling we never discuss. Some, a small few, are called to leadership. Many are called to followership. Each is honorable. Both define America. Both, together. I’ll offer an example.
5) Paul Revere. What good would his midnight ride have done if no one cared about the Red Coat’s coming attack? He was the leader. Who were the followers?
6) They were everyday patriots no different than you and me. Another great error of our civics education is this. We must decide, are we a follower or a leader? Followership is good!
7) I am a follower Trump is my leader. I am his proud follower. Why? Why am I Trump’s follower? To answer, I have to go back to 2016. I agreed with his policies. I believed he had the necessary skills to make them real.
8) Cut forward with me to now. While I follow Trump nationally, I follow @SandhillsKen locally. It is these 3,000 + counties that matter most.
9) In each, we need a @SandhillsKen clone. Forgive my levity. Cloning Ken is actually our mandate. Not literally. Figuratively. Each leader is his own man or woman. Let’s define this robustly.
10) Combat Tested Leadership. America is at war. Leadership that is not combat tested is most likely to collapse in the face of stern, ready opposition.
11) The ability to build strategy, but derive and inspire tactical action. This may be the rarest combination of all, and @SandhillsKen demonstrates it in spades. But what if he’s the only one in America that does? It’s a serious question.
12) Much as I believe in @SandhillsKen , he and I both know that his equal or superior in combat tested leadership lives in each and every county in America. It’s our job to find them. That’s the mission Ken and I have signed on for.
12) Robust leadership must be able to build strategy, to set strategic direction and vision. But it must also be able to inspire and command tactical execution, and then hold it accountable for outcomes.
13) @SandhillsKen has done more than just create a strategy for Moore County NC. He has created a template that can be replicated in every county in America.
So what now?
14) We must find combat tested leaders for each and every county. Let me ask: what is your situation awareness, locally, in your county? And let’s bring that down to a single question…
15) Are YOU the most qualified, combat tested leader in your county, or, is there someone more well qualified than you, and if so, will that person step up? If the answer is you, then…
Will you step up?
16) Participation means deciding if you’re a follower or a leader. If leader, step up and lead. If follower, find your leader. Often you may have to recruit him or her, but that too is a part of being a great follower
17) We’ll talk about contribution a great deal more, soon. Just hear me right now, over this. If you follow @SandhillsKen’s and @Jesusestveritas‘ lead, you’ll want to look those you contribute to in the eye, both now and down the road, again.
18) Never underestimate the power of eye contact. America’s founders expected you to use that exact power along with your vote when they architected our nation. As we redefine our civics lessons, we must add dollar contribution and eye contact, both before and after voting.
19) What’s your situation awareness? @SandhillsKen and @Jesusestveritas have given me mine it their profoundly important video. You see what I’m doing about that. Now, again, you. Spread the word. Retweet. But more, pick up the phone and text and call
20) What do you text? This thread and it’s opening video. What do you talk about? Action. Recruit others. Plan and participate, and yes donate yourself.
3) Let's talk about why this important. We always send promising conservatives to DC. DC laughs and welcomes them. DC corrupts them. We, the voters, get nothing. And they, the elected, face nothing. No consequence and then we send them back. Alas.
Testing: a mini-thread for getting started. Here is a 2-minute segment already posted. What follows are smaller snippets from it, along with a tiny bit if comment.
2) Our intro is the beginning 29 seconds where @SandhillsKen’s basic idea is laid out.
3) We turn now to the idea of stepping up and speaking with the voice of leadership in your own community, as well as recruiting others to the mission as well.
2) Why? And why should you care? The why is this. Our movement, the #MAGAMovement lives. But it meanders. I have an analogy to offer. Boat and Keel. We've seen, we topple a bit as a movement, haven't we?
3) In the visual analogy above, the forces that lead us to topple are all the same forces that have prevented Republicans from living up to a true, Conservative agenda for the past hundred years. The stabilizer we need are the 10 Planks of the #MAGA Movement.
2) This segment is 7 of the hardest hitting minutes you'll hear anywhere. I've decided to NOT timestamp this time, as the minutes just fly by. @joekent16jan19 is simply on a roll and breaking the roll up doesn't make sense. Listen with joy. I will comment though...
3) First, when naming this Plank back in 2018, @KateScopelliti tried very hard to reduce its word count. It's a long name. Also, I don't recall Trump ever using these exact words, which we prefer. Yet, somehow it's what we chose.
2) We'll talk about jobs in just a minute. First, I have to repeat and emphasize this request. Please help us get this video to as many people as possible. Joe's candidacy, this primary, are more important than most people might imagine, assuming they'd even heard of it.
3) If we do our job right, we'll roll forward from 100s to 1,000s, 10's of thousands, hundreds of thousands and beyond. For my part, I believe that millions, not only in Washington state, or America, but around the world NEED, desperately NEED to hear Joe's message.
