Can Donald Trump actually win the election this year? Frankly, I am still very fearful that Joe Biden will be re-elected in November. I know that, currently, Trump’s poll numbers are good, but all the polls really tell us is how much the Democrats will have to cheat to win. Because they WILL cheat, we all know that. Let me explain some of my fears.
As a trained historian, it is my opinion that Joe Biden is the worst president America has ever had. We've had a lot of bad ones. Some of the early presidents were pretty good, but the problem that has developed in American history is that the country has given more and more power to politicians, Presidents in particular, power the Founders never intended them to have, and that no human being should ever have.
Their reasoning was simple and brilliant: very, very few people have the knowledge, wisdom, and virtue to effectively use power for mankind’s benefit. And Joe Biden is certainly not one of the very few who does. That is why our Founders kept the government's power so limited. Biden is a man of extremely limited intelligence, no wisdom at all, and no virtue or strength of character to do the right things. And Americans put that incompetent bungler into the most powerful position in the world.
That is one thing that scares me—the American people don’t demonstrate much knowledge, wisdom, or virtue anymore, either.
Giving power over others to people like Biden will lead to power being abused. This is, of course, what Biden and the Deep State have done, and we have witnessed the consequences in America being exacerbated in the last three years because of it. The question I want to ask is—and the possible answer further terrifies me—are there enough decent people left in America to reject Joe Biden and to begin to return the country to virtue, goodness, and civilized stability?
Biden’s presidency has been compared to Jimmy Carter’s. All intelligent Americans know—and knew then—that Carter’s presidency was a disaster, and, as a result, he was rightfully crushed by Ronald Reagan in 1980. There were still enough decent, patriotic Americans left to reject Carter, to perceive how badly he was hurting the country, and to elect a far superior man. But, that was 44 years ago, and we have now had two generations of Americans raised in Leftist propaganda. And millions of Americans who voted for Reagan are now dead and can't vote anymore. So, we definitely have a changed America.
That scares me.
There are some old timers like you and me still around, and we're still going to vote for America. But are there enough of us left? 50 years ago, what Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker recently said was almost universally believed in the country; surely it was 100 years ago. But now, look at the storm his words raised. Truth hasn’t changed in 50 years; America has.
Here's what scares me. There is the “Left” and the “Right” in America today; if you vote for one or the other, there is no “middle” ground anymore, and certainly not in the upcoming election. These two sides appear to be relatively equal powers, at least numerically; the Left may actually be a little ahead. What we face is, that the Left has no morality at all. They have no scruples, there is absolutely nothing they won't do to obtain and hold power. We've seen that the last 100 years around the world, and the Left in America is no different. They will do anything they think they can get away with. And when two powers are competing on a relatively equal scale, the ruthless, and the amoral will win because there's nothing they won't do TO win. Decency has moral limitations. The Democrats have none. That’s what America faces in 2024. And it scares me.
To further elucidate, the ruthless, the amoral win because there are certain limitations on the descent; that’s what makes them decent. There are certain boundaries they simply cannot cross. They can only win with far superior numbers and force. A couple of examples.
Germany in both World Wars I and II was a ruthless power, yet it was surrounded and crushed by the superior numbers and weight of the forces arrayed against it—England, Russia, France (in World War I) and, eventually, America. Against these far superior numbers, the Germans, as ruthless as the Kaiser and Hitler were, simply had no chance. Japan was the same; there was no way that country could win a war against a determined United States. Superior numbers and force destroyed a ruthless opponent. That was the only road to victory.
My question is, do those superior numbers of decency exist in America today to overcome the ruthlessness and amorality of the Left? Are there enough patriotic, God-fearing Americans remaining? The Left is ruthless; we know that. There’s nothing they won't do to win. Are there enough of us left to defeat them?
Scared? Yeah.
If there is basic equality of numbers between Decadence and Decency in America now, the most ruthless will win. And there are lines the decent just can’t cross lest we become as decadent as Democrats. We simply don’t have the moral ability, the degeneracy, to become what Biden and the Democrats have become. But there are no lines the Lenins, Stalins, Hitlers, Maos, and Democrats won’t erase because they are totally evil people. They can only be defeated by superior numbers and force. Do we have those numbers and force?
Democratic Party cheating and illegal alien voting—and China hacking—also scare me.
2024 may be the most critical election in American history. It will tell us whether America has truly turned the corner from decency to barbarism, and whether there are enough true Americans left in the country.
