Whenever I encounter any Never Trumper, DeSantis absolutist or Pro-Life puritan who say they won’t vote for Trump, my favorite response is along these lines:
“Well I hope your narcissistic virtue keeps you warm on the freezing boxcar ride to the social justice camps.”
Invariably I will get a reply along the lines of, “Stop with that ridiculous hyperbole, this is the USA, that’s not going to happen.”
That saddens me and it angers me when I hear it.
If there is one thing I have learned via the many exotic locales the US Army saw fit to send me in my military career it is that civilization is a tenuous thing and it is not the norm of humanity. (Spend 15 minutes in an Afghan village and I am positive you will agree.) Additionally, history shows us that brutal tyranny, wholesale human slaughter, abject poverty, pestilence, famine and non-stop suffering are the standard course of humanity, and peaceful, prosperous civilization is the extremely rare exception. The idea that because the USA has survived as a place of relative prosperity and freedom for 250 years means it will continue to do so indefinitely is an absurd assumption that collapses under the slightest bit of historical scrutiny. In 2024, we see Europe descending into fascist tyranny and war, we see Jihadist religious zealotry globally destroying societies and populations, and we see James Bond-style trillionaire villains in Davos plotting to subjugate us all and feed us bugs in the name of a fabricated “climate crisis.” The warning signs are all around us. Given the right circumstances, civilization inside the USA could collapse in a mere matter of weeks or months, with suffering and genocide of Old Testament proportions. This is a real, tangible threat, and it is not hyperbole to say so.
We now stand astride an election decision that may very will be the difference between the successful continuation of the American Constitutional experiment or the Visigoths coming over the Seventh Hill and putting us all to the sword.
Civilization is not assured. Freedom, liberty and prosperity are not assured.
Vote accordingly.
