Since the election, I've had a few non-Christian minorities speak openly to me of their MSM-fueled fears of being rounded up and put into camps, race wars, etc. I noted that most normal people across all races, religions, colors, and other dimensions still get up, commute to work with, work with, and interact with...wait for it...PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT COLORS ETC. They usually go away hopeful but still a little unconvinced.

The nut jobs always get the airtime. But this isn't always a bad thing. Candidly, I think Trump landed a knockout punch by talking about the alt left and their clubs...the press has been slobbering subsequently all over the Antifa, but in the process most normal Americans are recoiling in horror from these philosophical cousins of the KKK.

If we're lucky, the American Renaissance lot and Antifa will send each other to the hospital and leave us normal folk alone. In the meantime, work is required but chiefly, in my opinion, in our daily interactions, and with our kids (and I don't not mean in a Hillary/Village sense). In essence, point out the moral equivalence of the racists on both sides. And do not let up or equivocate. I can't change the world, but the ripple effect of changing one or two hearts and minds could be awesome.

By most accounts, at the time of the Revolution, 20% were Loyalists, 33-45% were Patriots, and the rest were ballast. If you replace Loyalist with statist, and Patriots with Deplorables, we are right where we started. AND YET...I see a future. As did everyone along the journey in the US. You gotta have faith, and a serious assessment of the situation. And nerves of steel.

Your post reminded me of one of the greates lines in rock history, from The Who's "Naked Eye":

You hold the gun, And I hold the wound

And we stand looking in each other's eyes

Both think we know what's right, Both know we know what's wrong

We tell ourselves so many many many lies

Everyone knows Truth. It simply needs to be defended.

I believe, in part, this is why Trump and his retinue keep using Twitter and rallies to remind we Deplorables - of ALL COLORS - that, indeed, there's more of us than them, and to not despair. Our steadfast and visible defense of all that is good and right is a partial antidote to this social virus. Everyone wants to win, and one can only hope that further winning will help turn these misguided souls to the side of freedom and liberty and Truth.
