(By David Prentice) “Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity,” begins Psalm 133. I urge you to read the whole Psalm. You’ll see it expressing David’s point through deep and powerful metaphors: “Like dew on the mountains; giving the blessing of life everlasting. Like a joyful ceremony anointing you with oil that thrills your whole being.”
This is what we want with our unity. The best. This is a wonderful and true insight. It’s a principle in life difficult to describe, but most of us have experienced it to one degree or another.
Some experience it in sports, some experience it in their profession, business, faith, hobby niche, or just in the life you live. Some call it the pursuit of excellence, but it’s much more.
It can be individual, but more often than not it is felt in the unity of purpose between people. Examples: a successful sports team, a business group that is greater than the individual parts. It can be in your church, or your trade group.
Excellence drives a team to be better. Each member doing their part enhances the effort. Good teams of people simply can make each other better, lifting each one to exceed what they might think they can do.
This is a real phenomenon; I have had the good fortune of experiencing it many times. I have seen it in groups from all kinds of niches in our culture. Historically, it is something you can read about in other times and cultures.
The “special unction” of great movements is paramount: They excelled, had unity of purpose, yet they harnessed great life-giving principles, or something that offers great exaltation of what I am going to call our better angels. Great affirmation of life that lifts the human spirit in the best of ways.
A few examples: The miraculous spread of the early Christian Church. The miraculous founding of America, its Declaration of Independence, its Constitution, and its Bill of Rights. The incredible story of abolishing slavery in England, and the subsequent abolition of slavery through the Civil War in the United States.
Each of these was an instance of Psalm 133 come to life.
So where is the conservative movement in all of this? If you ask the left, as is well known, Trump is Hitler, case closed. The problem being, there is no political imprisonment, no brownshirt violence, no actual racist or anti-Semitic or imperialist movement the hard-left and their media shills can point to.
Au contraire, the Trump movement has zero Hitler and a lot of greatness to it. He has often expressed awe at the movement that won him the Presidency. He didn’t start it; it is not his. Its principles preceded him and will outlive him. He did, however, help unify the movement, help define a few things about it, and certainly helped it win.
Just look at who the movement’s enemies are:
*The “Never Trumpers”. Such frauds, such disingenuous grifters. Virtual parasites on the conservative movement for decades.
*The Clintons. Power mad. Greedy. Bitter.
*The Deep State. Under the guise of “a higher loyalty”, these people lied about Russian influence, ruined the lives of innocent people, and tried to undo a fair election by colluding and using their powers illegally, immorally, and then covered up their own wrong-doing.
*Antifa and BLM. Two of the most violent organizations in our history.
*The Communist Chinese. A bigger threat to real freedom cannot be found. Just ask the citizens of Hong Kong, and the displaced factory workers in the Midwest.
*The globalists. Those who want to use American foreign policy to enrich themselves at the expense of average Americans. Who tried to give everything good about America away to its enemies.
*The hard-left media. Nuff said.
There are many more, but that’s an astonishing core group of enemies. All rotten influences and corrupt to the core. Their enmity counts for a lot. Being their targets means we have become effective in dealing with their ilk.
These are the enemies you can take pride in. Unfortunately, their loudness is amplified too much by our hard-left media, making it hard to see Trump’s clear accomplishments.
Because what he has accomplished (and stands for) is incredible. And here in these accomplishments and aspirations are the best reasons for all Trump supporters to be proud. Happy warriors, proud of their President, and proud of their movement.
Here’s the first list to look at.
There you see it spelled out, the specifics of “Make America Great Again.” As someone suggested, it’s not a slogan, it was an intention. It was removing the shackles that allowed our economy to boom. It was that high tide, lifting all boats.
This economic resurgence is one great accomplishment for President Trump, and one that, if he is re-elected, will come again.
The movement calls Americans back to the vision of Martin Luther King. Where skin color won’t matter, but accomplishment and character will. When I listen to MAGA people, I hear the invitation for all to participate.
When I see such visionaries as Candace Owens, Dennis Praeger, Steve Cortes, and Brandon Straka, it warms my heart to see them triumph over the race-hustlers and those on the hard-left who foment race war and division.
Now we can all walk through that door of a better, more perfect union. All of us—and for that I am proud to be a Trump supporter.
The creativity of the Trump team is another thing we can all cheer. He hasn’t always made good hires, he hasn’t always been able to run smoothly, but it’s quite clear his knowledge of how to get things done in the long run, despite his enemies, is one thing that sets him apart.
The genius of how he fixed the New York ice rink long ago is what America is experiencing with his list of accomplishments in all areas.
If something isn’t going well, the team changes direction. If something isn’t having an excellent outcome, tweaks or wholesale changes are made to fashion the best possible outcome.
And his team is genuinely a great team now. In trade, the economy, foreign policy, correct treatment and use of the military, in racial healing,
Which all bodes well for his second term. We can expect the best economy and the lowest unemployment figures ever once again. It will happen. We can expect Antifa and their violence to be decimated. We can expect real racial progress to overcome the dishonesty of BLM.
Leftists underestimated the ability of capitalism and freedom to bring people of color inclusively into the melting pot of American exceptionalism. They didn’t see that people of color would choose freedom, a better life, and deeper character, as most anyone will. Frederick Douglass understood, Trump as well.
We can expect China to begin losing, as the Soviet Union once did. We can expect the vision of space exploration to capture the hearts of Americans once again. We can expect the creative genius of capitalism to flourish, and bring new and better things for our country, and its people.
We might even expect more millennials to join as they see how they have been fooled by the left.
The best is yet to come. And it won’t just be the happy few (Shakespeare) that will rejoice. It will be the walk-aways, the liberals who saw the truth, the conservatives who likewise changed direction to bring back freedom. The libertarians who understood the threat from the hard-left, and that Trump would support a flourishing of liberty they can cherish. It will be the entire movement, happy warriors all.
Bring on the second term. Sweep out the hard-left. Fight like the next generation is at stake.
Because it is.
MAGA
