On my morning walk today I passed a very nice neighbor couple walking their dog. They have a Biden/Harris sign in their front yard. In exchanging pleasantries, I decided to ask them the above question.
Simply put, they didn’t have an answer! The husband hemmed and hawed. The wife said “their family had always been Democrats”. In short, they were the archetypical example of non-critical thinking, upper middle class SHEEP! I deliberately did NOT offer my opinion, and framed my questions so as not to reveal where I stood on the political spectrum. It was truly breathtaking how they could hold the views they do.
Similarly, it continues to astound me that ANYONE listening to the drivel coming out of the Left’s mouths could possibly want them to take over leadership of this country. I understand how the professional political types can and do spew garbage to advance their aims and seek to enhance their power. What I can’t understand is how dumbed down ordinary, working, seemingly family-oriented Americans have been either brainwashed so effectively or numbed into allowing Leftist dogma to be tolerated!
I take great comfort, however, in the half (or more) of the country who silently, conscientiously, know better, are open-eyed, think about more than themselves, and who despite reservations about style and theatrics, will pull the lever for RIGHT candidates in a few weeks. As I pointed out to another neighbor the other day, one who has no lawn signs but flies both the Stars and Stripes AND the Marine Corps flags on his house, “For all the Biden/Harris signs you see out there, just remember that the vast majority of lawns that do NOT have signs could be, and probably are, part of the Silent Majority.”
He agreed, and added, “I know of a couple of neighbors who have put out Biden/Harris signs just so they won’t be harassed, but who will vote for Trump.”
I pray for my family, my community and my country’s sake that Trump’s win is SO great no amount of flak from the Left will leave any doubt.
I know I’ve said this before but it’s worth repeating: Every election is billed as being “the most consequential” ever. That label notwithstanding, THIS ONE, irrespective of where it falls on the “consequential scale”, is a real tipping point. Either the country really IS divided right down the middle or the true character of America will be revealed with an overwhelming annunciation of where it is and where it wants to go. If it goes, as I believe it will, solidly RIGHT, it will mean we’ve had enough of Leftist nonsense and while our nation will not yet be cancer-free, it will mean we’ll continue the long, tough slog back up the slippery slope the Left has put us on for years and years. If it goes LEFT, may God help our children and grandchildren to quietly preserve what will be an even greater suppression of Good, Traditional Values and help our country survive Armageddon.
