How refreshing that your analysis doesn’t lead off with the obligatory disclairmer “I don’t like Trump but..” as many on this platform feel compelled to state for their purity rituals. The undeniable facts that have come out about this senile, lying figurehead and the media which has covered up his mental condition should be enough to jettison the notion that the Democrat party has any interest in upholding this country’s laws. You have been right on from the start and not wavered to report the reality of the wreckage that has been caused by the Left. Kudos for this essay.
It drives me freaking nuts too! There is nothing wrong with saying you like Trump or some of his policies or criticizing Biden. We don't need a million disclaimers! And I am done wasting time on people who assume that just because you criticize one thing about a person or praise somebody else once then that means you MUST subscribe, forever, to some stupid suite of ideas they dreamed up in their demented mind.
Also, thank you so much for the kind words. Not for nothing, but I don't want to waste people's time here at my Sub, so if I post something I really believe it has some value, and I am proud looking back at how often we've gotten things right waaaay ahead of the curve. I say "we" not only to credit the muses, but also YOU and the other original "lyres" haha who have been here basically since the start. I truly appreciate it, and your support has why I am even still on here with the ability to look back at all the stuff we got right haha
Along with the “lesser of two evils” trope. That really grinds my gears when used wholly improperly against the media manufactured evil orange man bad. It was appropriate for Obama/romney or Obama/mccain.
Unbelievably fresh take and absolutely hit the proverbial nail on the head with regard to Trump and supporting him. I am a Trump convert from 2016 to 2020 based on accomplishments in office, a hostile environment at that. I am now that meme of Mel Gibson about being a Trump supporter, and it’s not about being a fan boy simp for him, it’s all about the pure hatred and disdain of establishment corruption. I have a gulag archipelago complex about system commissars, and at the very least, Trump is no commissar cog in the machine, and the unified establishment front against him was all the evidence needed.
Wow, I really appreciate that, Brian. Managing to come up with an fresh, organic (sounds like I'm at Whole Foods haha) article is one of my chief goals here because I don't want to waste people's time with echo chamber retread or predictable outrage porn. I don't always succeed, but getting a kind comment like yours really makes my day when I do.
And as you and I are clearly simpatico on this, I totally agree with you and share your sentiment (as a fellow convert around that time) about both this Solzhenitsyn nightmare we are facing and the role of The Don as the unlikely hero was have at this glorious moment in human history haha
Thank you, my friend! We are winning this thing (#hitp) haha, but some of those old cultists are still lurking about, so I will continue to give them the occasional (figurative) literary paddlin' for good measure. Plus it's funny :D

Thank you! Yeah, I wrote a note about that stupid "Disclaimer Culture" we are living in (https://substack.com/profile/13346297-apollos-lyre/note/c-58368961?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=7y22h), and I have plans to stitch it together with some other observation into a real post at some point. ("A reeeeeaaaal boy!" haha)
