I feel like I must do something to help President Trump and through him our country but feel so powerless to make a meaningful difference. I’ve reached out to opposition-minded friends and family but have had only limited success penetrating the insidious web of distortions woven by the media and the likes of Facebook and Google. I’ve written my Republican congressmen on numerous occasions only to receive boilerplate platitudes in response; I fear (but do not know) that they may be either self-serving cowards and/or as corrupt and seditious as most of the Democratic Party. I’ve taken my best stabs at reasoned posts and comments in internet forums, but fear that my posts may be deliberately lost in the noise, and that the forums themselves may have been compromised by concerted censorship and disinformation campaigns where sophisticated operatives make posts designed to divide, demoralize, and/or discredit our side.
So what can little ol’ me do to actually make a difference against such corrupt goliaths? Suggestions? My best idea so far, as trivial as it may sound, is to proudly don my Trump t-shirt and my bright red MAGA sweatband a couple of times a week, go for a run through my community, and amiably smile and wave to my passing neighbors. Then, perhaps a like-minded neighbor, having seen me, might become encouraged to do the same. And on the movement spreads as a very real rebuttal in our physical world to the pervasive propaganda in our virtual world. There are numerous obvious advantages to this strategy, but in particular, this strategy is decentralized (hence hard to disrupt) and genuine (hence easier to trust).
Although overwhelming disinformation hinders my certainty, my instinct tells me that most ordinary Americans support or would support (if we can break the enemy’s spell) President Trump’s common sense agenda. However, most understandably keep their heads down or may not even be aware on account of the enemy’s treacherous tactic of branding dissenters as evil and then viciously ruining their lives. In this context, I can imagine some regular guy or gal, super busy just trying to stay afloat, driving to work one morning, unwittingly swallowing NPR’s deceitful reporting, and then - in stark juxtaposition – they see a familiar smiling face, jogging down the road, proudly supporting (in a non-pushy way) our President Trump, a hero and a patriot. Do you think it might work? Be worth a shot? Joggers for Trump? If so, tell your friends. Maybe it will catch on. In the meantime, I’ll keep jogging.

Well said. I’m certainly not donating further to the GOP until I see some action.
Good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.
Punch a snowflake in the nose.
I am thoroughly confused on the McMaster subject. Don’t know what to believe. I read one article somewhere that claimed the attacks on McMaster are actually a cunning attempt to oust Bannon (rather than McMaster) as well as to sow division among Trump supporters. On this subject, I am trusting in President Trump that he knows what he’s doing as he has proven his wizardry time and again.
I identify with you. I am just honest with others. I get a lot of ridicule (in Oregon), but always side with the truth.
Wish the best,

Show your trust in President Trump and his policies by staying positive and refraining from posting anti-Trump garbage and blog crap from people who speculate and second-guess his every decision. Were going to need everyone on the Trump Train to MAGA. And wear that headband!
In dark blue California that's an open invitation to be physically assaulted.
If you have time and energy, start a political action committee to raise funds for MAGA candidates.
Fund conservatives in primaries vs. RINO’s and knock Democrats out of the Senate.
Start a conservative blog.
Primary out the RINO’s If it’s in your State get active with the candidate, if out of State, donate & make calls.
Where do you live and who did you vote for?
Oh I wanted to say that, LOL.
Had....to...resist...
They are seriously messed-up in their collective heads. /Captain Obvious
It’s like mass hysteria.
