When I was thinking about the stolen election and the current struggle to reclaim our beloved country, I understood something important, which I believe is partly the reason things happened the way they did. I realized that if everything had suddenly turned to victory without any effort on the part of ordinary patriots, we wouldn’t be able to keep it. The people, after all, are the ones who must do that. But if victory had been handed to us, we would have forgotten to be vigilant, and the gains we received would have slipped through our hands in a single generation, if not sooner.

Not so when people are forced to act. The great patriots working behind the scenes are fighting not just for us but for our children and grandchildren, and it seems to me they had the wisdom to know that a thing you get for free has much less value than something you have to fight a battle to win. A victory gotten through struggle is something that is not forgotten over many generations, and this is the reason it took so long for the money magicians to take down our upstart nation. They would have overcome us in the beginning 245 years ago but for the fact that we greatly valued our freedom. We were vigilant because it cost so much to attain, and that hindered the ones trying to destroy us. The only way the money magicians could do it was by subterfuge, sneaking in to erode our values, corrupt our leaders, and quietly seize the institutions that informed and educated us.

Whether by divine intervention or the plan of selfless patriots, whether plan A or plan B, it has fallen to us to rise up to join the fight in whatever way we can. In the end it will make our victory precious, and we will be able to keep what we have won for many generations to come. The only way we can lose is if we give up, but we are well past the point where that seems like an option. It is literally do or die, speak up or be forever silenced, and every act of patriotism, every proclamation of the truth, and every assault upon wicked political power and evil cultural influence has the effect of awakening others to the deceptions that made them easy to control through fear.

It is nearing the end of what the great patriots started to bring about our liberation, but that is only the beginning of what must continue. I think it will still turn around in a day, as it were, but in the meantime, take heart in the struggle, knowing the resolve it works in your heart, and when you have won, stand upon the ground where you are planted and tell your children what it cost you and why it is important for them to keep the precious liberty you helped to reclaim. Show them why they must never again fall asleep.
