Trump Term Two: Goals

Normal Americans have no problems getting along - even when they disagree. For that matter, normal Americans disagree with each other far less that Twitter or the MSM make it seem. This is because there are institutions that are fostering an extreme leftist agenda. These institutions are attempting to reshape America by deceiving as many Americans as possible and fostering hatred for the Americans they can't deceive.

These seditious institutions need to be reformed. When Trump gets re-elected, he needs to clean house on the following for the good of America:

1. The MSM. It is overwhelmingly biased to the point where they don't even try to deny it anymore. Every form of corruption is allowable - as long as Democrats are the culprit. The MSM has to be exposed as the leftist shills they are. The American people deserve an unbiased reporting of news, rather than socialist utopian wishes masquerading as news.
   
   
2. The Deep State. The Washington swamp needs to be drained. This includes anyone in either party whose goal is to benefit the politicians instead of Americans. The people who were involved in the unsuccessful coup to take down Trump by using a fake Russian dossier need to go to jail. All of them. That includes Obama, Biden, and Hillary. This is a scandal 10 times worse than Watergate and they're currently all getting a pass because the MSM and the Deep State will do everything they can to protect Democrats. As long as Democrats are allowed to use the power of government - the FBI, the CIA, the IRS, etc. - to target and punish their political foes, America isn't safe.
   
   
3. Big Tech. Again, overwhelmingly biased. Actively working against the First Amendment by censoring conservatives in a variety of ways. There was a day when the left championed the First Amendment. That day is long gone. (Aside: When the left championed the First Amendment, their goal was to spread as much pornography as possible. When the right champions the First Amendment, their goal is to protect political speech, religious speech, etc. This speaks volumes about the relative integrity of the two sides.)
   
   
4. Voter Fraud. Only the Republicans care about voter fraud because only the Democrats use it to cheat. There's a reason the Democrats scream like babies whenever measures are suggested to prevent voter fraud. And it's time black America realized that the party who says, "We can't have voter ID laws because minorities are too dumb to use ID" isn't their friend.
   
   
5. The Educational System. School choice is a must so that good teachers and good schools are rewarded. The teachers' unions only care about more power and money for teachers. They care nothing for the students. Also, our schools are increasingly spending their time, money, and efforts on socialist or Marxist indoctrination rather than, you know, teaching. The government should stop funding universities whose goal is to train students to think the United States is evil. One idea is to make university funding based on the employment rate of graduates. This will encourage universities to focus on useful programs instead of worthless ones.

There's more to do, but this would be a fantastic start. These institutions are undermining everything America is based on. They could all be wonderfully valuable. In fact, they have been in the past. But at the moment, they are a cancer on America.

Trump Term Two: Loving America

Create this ad:

Show video clips of various Dems berating America and end with: “We love America. They hate America. That’s all you need to know.”

(Someone can likely come up with a catchier slogan but you get the idea.)

Then run this ad all day every day until it’s part of the nation’s consciousness.

Trump Term Two: “I love immigrants!”

The first in a series of posts about tactics Trump could use to win re-election.

This tactic denies the Left the ability to lie by claiming Trump is a fascist.

Trump needs to present himself as the biggest friend LEGAL immigrants have and the biggest enemy ILLEGAL immigrants have. The Left has been deceitfully pretending there’s no difference between legal and illegal immigrants. Trump should deny them the ability to make this false claim.

He can simply say, “The Left claims I hate immigrants. They’re lying. I love immigrants! I married one! Thanks to me, America has an immigrant as the First Lady. The difference is that I love LEGAL immigrants. The Left loves ILLEGAL immigrants because the Left hates America and wants to stack the voting rolls in their favor.”

He can further make the case that illegal immigrants are the biggest enemy legal immigrants have and that by fighting illegal immigration, he is doing the best thing for legal immigrants. And there’s no shortage of legal immigrants who will back him up on this.

If he wants to go further, he can expand on how he stands for supporting immigrants who love America and who are the kind of upright people who want to follow the law.

Lots more could be said but the main point is that Trump should make it clear he loves legal. America-loving immigrants. Hammer this home enough and the Left’s lie that he’s a racist becomes transparent and powerless.

No "peace in our time" with Democrats

The Democrats are at war. They have been for decades. They will use any tactic against the right because it's war.

Republicans need to stop thinking that if they're just nice to Democrats, they can have peace. John McCain should have learned that when he ran for president. In the years leading up to his run, the Dems feigned peace with him because he could be trusted to vote their way on many occasions. But the moment he was the Republican nominee, all peace was abandoned and no attack was off limits.

Shockingly, even Trump needs to learn this. Leading up to the election, he talked about locking Hillary up for her various felonies. But when he won, he opted to be magnanimous and say she should be left alone. How did the Dems respond to his magnanimity? By relentlessly pushing to have HIM charged, impeached, etc.

If Trump had stayed the course, all the talk since November would have been about locking Hillary up for her (real) offences rather than attempting to discredit Trump for imaginary ones.

You can't have peace with Nazis or Democrats or any other fascists. You need to oppose them and their poisonous ideas relentlessly.

Typical hypocrisy

Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is essentially threatening terrorist attacks if Europe doesn't give him what he wants. “If you continue to behave like this, not a single European, not a single Westerner will be able to take a step on the road safely anytime in the world,” Erdoğan said at a press conference adding: “We as Turkey are calling on Europe to respect human rights and democracy.”

Several points:

1. Note the overwhelming hypocrisy of threatening terrorist attacks if Western Europe doesn't "respect human rights". Not only is that self-contradictory, but please tell me which Western European nation isn't light years ahead of Turkey in both human rights and democracy.

2. Note that even the president of Turkey takes it for granted that when Muslims don't get their own way, they resort to terrorism. And he clearly believes they have a right to do so. Erdoğan and his ilk have no idea how to work with civilized humans. "Give me MJ own way or ... terrorism!" And he assumes this is the norm for how Muslims behave.

3. The left in the west will ignore this, as always, thus emboldening this kind of behaviour and guaranteeing more terrorism.

4. Erdoğan is just proving that Trump is right about limiting Muslim immigration.

Trump to-do list

Trump has made a great start but here's what needs to get done:

1. Withdraw the US from the Paris climate treaty.

2. Kill the hysterical environmental regulations that are smothering US businesses and enriching the left.

3. Fire Obama's and Kerry's holdovers.

4. Pass a truly conservative repeal and replacement of Obamacare. Anything short of that will betray those who voted for him. Worse than that, it will fail (because liberal policies don't work) and now it will be the Republicans who bear the blame for it.

5. Kill the Iran deal.

Nevertrumpers - I get it, but...

I understand being unhappy about the times Trump has been crude.

I understand he's not the completely principled conservative we would love to have.

But he's the President and he is intent upon implementing more conservative policies than any president since Reagan. For the first time in memory, we have a Republican taking on the corrupt, leftist MSM and making headway. He wants to roll back government and dismantle the administrative state more than any successful Republican in decades.

So I don't understand the behaviour of Nevertrumpers. Or, worse, I understand them all too well.

It increasingly seems to me that the Nevertrumpers had some legitimate concerns about Trump and mixed in a bunch of concerns that proved to be illegitimate. But now, rather than admitting that they went too far, they're eager to pounce on anything that would justify their previous hysteria.

So rather than support him and the plethora of truly conservative policies he wants to implement. And rather than join him in seeing victory after victory over the left and the MSM (but I repeat myself), the Nevertrumpers are hoping to see him fail. Not for the good of the country, not for the good of the conservative cause, but just to save face.

There are some excellent people among the Nevertrumpers. But I'm finding that they're becoming petty and self-serving.

We have a chance to see untold damage done to the left and untold good done for the country. Please ... stop trying to prove you were right and join the greatest deconstruction of the left that we've seen.
