“When I am not crying, I feel frozen and numb.”
The text above, like so many others I have received from the great
Americans I was fortunate to campaign alongside this summer in America,
threatens to break my heart all over again.
And I understand it. I can feel it — viscerally. As a respectful
outsider to your great country, I use "we" when I think of you and me,
because I feel it just as keenly too.
We feel disbelief at what just happened and near paralysis at the
thought of it. It is as if someone changed the speed setting on life and
forced everything into slow motion, where you get to watch a horrible
moment of impact play out in excruciating detail, wincing hard for the
moment of impact that hasn’t truly made itself felt just yet.
And there IS a lot of tough stuff to swallow:
1) World leaders like Boris Johnson congratulating Joe Biden,
scrambling to be the first to deposit an odious message on Twitter:
"looking forward to working together on our shared priorities of climate
change, trade and security." In truth, Biden’s policies (were he to be
formally elected as President) would actually be a version of AOC’s
Green New Deal and a disaster for America and the UK.
2) The media and their relentless push for Biden, pumping a win they
have no right to declare, and reveling in the perceived humiliation of
Trump.
The self-aggrandizer-in-chief from CNN, Don Lemon with his $4
million annual salary, believes he has had it toughest of all: "I don’t
dare speak for my colleagues, but I can’t tell you how difficult its
been as a journalist to cover this dark part of our history. Let’s hope
the attacks on journalists, journalism and EVERYONE ends."
Then again, he owns poodles…Has it really been that difficult for
you, Little Don, you poor little tortured puppet, sitting in your comfy
studio with your make-up artist and production team?
3) And then there’s the Biden-Harris supporters themselves (although
admittedly many of these appear to be people who died a decade ago). I
watch them celebrating the alleged Biden win and realized they aren’t
actually celebrating a Biden win at all — but a perceived Trump loss.
For them, Trump losing is much more meaningful than a Biden win. And
that tells you a lot about Democrat supporters and the media who are
backing them. It is never about the hard work of building something
great, but rather the temporary thrill of destroying something already
in play.
Regardless of all this tough stuff we are being force-fed, there is a
way for us to take back control and to feel a whole lot better:
[1] We can reject the narrative.
The media does NOT call an election. Fraud is NOT acceptable and
until the courts have ruled on any outstanding matters, Biden is NOT the
President. It does not matter how many world leaders want to
congratulate him, or how many times you hear "President-Elect Biden"
repeated in the press.
We have to reject the narrative we are being force-fed. Look what
happens to people inside the media when they try to speak for themselves
or articulate the alleged fraud. Yet again, Judge Jeanine was
sacrificed by Fox News when she tried to speak her truths. I wish the
boys on the team had the moral courage to stand by her side.
[2] We can remember our truths.
They are powerful and authentic. Our truths are built on four years
of supporting the President, of working hard at grass roots to build
momentum and support, and understanding the difference he has made to
the lives of ordinary Americans. Our faith is strong because of time
invested in attending his rallies or helping with his re-election. And
the truths of the Republican Party are strong too.
Right now, the Republican Party is doing better with Hispanics and
blacks that at any other time in its history. And this success has been
demonstrated in the House and Senate. Republican incumbents held their
Senate seats, creating a Republican majority of 53 to 47 pre-runoffs.
Republicans flipped eight House seats, six by female candidates. At
least 13 GOP women are headed to the House. And these newly-elected
women are fierce conservatives who echo Trump on a range of issues,
including building a wall, defending gun rights, and scrapping the
Affordable Care Act.
Our truths matter.
[3] We stand strong.
Now is the time to hold the line behind President Trump.
We have observed the silence of those keeping their heads below the
parapet, and heard from the treacherous list of cretins who could not
wait to stick the boot in and display their RINO credentials for the
world to see; like Mitt Romney calling Trump a 900-lb. gorilla. Better
to be a 900-lb. gorilla than a snake.
None of us wants to be like Mitt Romney. In fact, I’d argue Mitt
Romney doesn’t even want to be Mitt Romney as a failed Presidential
candidate and someone that voted to impeach the President of his own
party. How on earth can he call himself a Republican?
We
do not concede. We put our heads up and follow the leaders pushing us
forward like Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and young influencers like
Scott Pressler and Brandon Straka who are national treasures (or at
least should be) and have been relentless in their efforts to support
the President.
Millions more Americans voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016. He
remains the most important and powerful man in the Republican Party, and
arguably the Party is stronger than at any time before.
My message back to your texts is that you don’t have to sit and
watch this car crash, election steal play out in slow-mo any more. You
have work to do.
You resist the narrative. You know your truths. And you stand strong.
