The country is sick right now. The world hates us, no longer trusts us and I can't blame them. Admittedly, I haven't been the same since 11/05. Half this country thought that this individual was fit for the presidency. This is a person

who ran on retribution against perceived enemies. Since when is that normal and not downright frightening in the United States of America? Since when do normal citizens vote for someone like this? Voting for Good over Evil takes precedence over voting for what one considers =>

There's no such thing as the "Right" or the "Left" in today's environment. The former relates to those lining up behind a nationalist populist movement with a cultish devotion to a corrupt demagogue. The latter anyone who opposes it be they Liberal or Authentic Conservative.

I mistakingly believed the results of the 2020 election were an indication that most Americans understood the basic fundamental principles upon which this country was built and that Trump was/is not compatible with the true meaning of the American experiment.

I was very wrong.

I have a feeling we're going to be putting policy on hold for a very long time.
Even after this dope is dead and gone.
As a result, there are going to be some permanent realignments.
The Reagan Coalition has broken apart with its varying components responding

in stark contrast to one another with the presence of Trump.
This comment last night by Trump about not ever having to concern oneself about voting again is going to be met with all kinds of failure points across American society, most notably from the MSM.

"You guys couldn't even save your own ship, so STFU! You don't get a say."
Man am I ever getting tired of seeing and hearing that.
In 2015-2016 we quickly became a minority in our own party as mass psychosis and cultism took hold.
We kept our sanity while those

And it was shocking.
It really was like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Admittedly it was kind of frightening watching people we had known all our lives get caught up in this while they thought we were the ones who had changed.
So NeverTrump was

"Right", "Left", as if they even mean anything anymore. This isn't the 20th century spectrum of collectivism v individualism or transformative change v incremental change.
I'm Pro-West!
IOW Reason, Enlightenment, Science, Free Markets, Liberty & Human Rights.

When one has spent a lifetime identifying as "Right", or "Left", it's often hard to resist the temptation to attempt to make sense of everything within that framework. Especially if one had been more motivated by what they were against than what they were for.

When I woke up on the morning of 11/09/16 I felt sick.
I knew we were in for a rough four years.
I thought we just need to survive these next four years then America can recover, make some corrections and resume its rightful destined course.
Maybe I was wrong.

Today, almost six years later, I see us in a more perilous place.
No longer do I care about what happens to my former party.
I do care about the future of the Free World.
And never in my life did I think, as an American, we'd be where we are today.

@txsguy09 Thread:
In recent weeks I've seen rising tension between different NT friends I follow on twitter.
It was foreseeable that there would be differences of opinion over the best way to move forward once T**** was removed from office.
The fact is NT was never a monolithic group 1/ @txsguy09 where we were all in perfect lockstep over how best to advance American interests once the threat was disposed.
But neither was the Republican party, despite how much they tried through propaganda to make us such. Each and every one of us is an ideologically unique individual. 2/

02/10/81 - 01/24/20 I sometimes wonder if Ronald Reagan were still alive if he'd be lamenting the 2nd time a party had left him. I can't speak for Dutch, but I have a strong suspicion he would be.
