In case you missed it, there were numerous rallies held across the country yesterday, including Greensboro and Raleigh, to protest the actions of President Trump and his Make America Great Again agenda. From what I can tell from the pictures the crowds consisted of mostly brainwashed Marxist grandmothers and old hippies who are in support of continuing unchecked deficit spending, of opening our borders once again to all who wish to enter, including gang members, and allowing transgender males to do whatever the Hell they want to do.
To give them a little bit of credit, I think that some of these people actually understand more than most what Trump is attempting to accomplish. He wants to turn America back from a government-based economy to one driven by true free market principles. An economy without the constant meddling of external influencers such as Congress and geared towards a laissez-faire system that that lets the better man or company win. This is what has them triggered.
They are scared to death of living without government programs to provide for them and safety nets to prop them up when they fail. This is not the American way. You and I know it. But unfortunately our society has become accustomed to a government nanny state and any attempt to bring us back to a life of self- determination is seen as cruel, inhumane and driven by hatred. When in fact the opposite is true.
Encouraging people to be self- sufficient and utilizing their own resources helps them become an active contributor to society and increases their self-esteem. Instead of a perpetually checking their inbox to see if their government issued deposit has arrived, they can direct their efforts towards helping others achieve the American Dream.
Conservatives need to be on guard and prepared. For the next year and a half leading up to the mid-terms these people will only become more angry and unhinged.
In a way, I feel sorry for these misguided protestors. Most of them have no idea what they are protesting. Or perhaps they do.
Never mind, I don’t feel sorry for them at all.
The next time the grannies gather, we should fly a drone over and drop joints down to them from the air. That should calm them down.
