I was talking to a friend at work who is right wing guy. He is definitely more pessimistic than I am at this point. He was talking about events and how bleak things looked to him. I tried to cheer him up by reminding him that the press does a cyclic “Mueller is going to jail Trump” thing every month or so and it doesn’t make much sense getting worried about it. But he was just generally discouraged and stressed that the way things were going there was no way things would get better. I couldn’t tell him that I believed that we would definitely prevail against the Left because that would be overly optimistic. But I told him that I wasn’t going to despair even if we don’t beat the Left in the next few years. What I said was that if all else fails it’s our job to protect our own families from being propagandized and destroyed by the Left. He agreed but was extremely negative about the future. I ended by saying that at least we would know soon enough which way things will go because Trump is the strongest card we have to play. If he fails, we can’t expect a better chance to come along. With this he agreed.
I got to thinking about this while I was driving home. It really is true. President Trump is the last best hope we have of prevailing in the foreseeable future. If he fails, we’re each on our own. If we can form some kind of underground it will be a grass roots business with small groups based on friendship and family connections. Larger than that will leave it open to the type of surveillance that the security apparatus has perfected. To expand beyond that will take community building that resembles a religious group. We know that the government has already shown its willingness to harass religious groups in any way it wants. But that is probably still the best way to grow a grassroots movement. It provides a way to meet and socialize. The idea of founding a fraternal organizational that allows people to preserve the traditional beliefs and share in community activities appeals to me strongly. It could have all kinds of worthwhile and fun activities. And I just want to state for the record that although I am willing to accept the title of Grand Master, I absolutely refuse to wear a fez.
All kidding aside, it is without a doubt the case that if President Trump is defeated, we must assume that controlling the government won’t be an avenue for preserving traditional life. I’ll take it to mean that the dissident right is correct in thinking that the United States as we knew it, no longer exists. That’s a sobering thought.
Okay, enough gloom and doom. Now let’s accentuate the positive. Trump is President and didn’t let the maniacs bust through the southern border. He says he’ll get the army to build the wall if needed. And he yelled at Nancy Pelosi and Cryin’ Chuck Schumer at the White House this week. He is still providing quality entertainment while defying our enemies. And even if Trump is succeeding, it doesn’t mean I can’t declare myself the Grand Poobah anyway.
