I fully believe DJT will be back in the White House sooner rather than later but I’ve been thinking lately about the long term play. Thinking about my kids and grandkids and the future they’ll have. Let’s say Trump gets 6 more years in charge, is that enough time to completely eradicate the DS and set our country on a winning trajectory that will last 2 or 3 generations?
A team/company/country is only as strong as its bench. Thinking about Trump’s 6 plus another 8 with Lake/Desantis (both are certainly young enough to effectively lead us 14 years from now but what about after? Is our bench deep enough to see our grandkids and great-grandkids live a life of individual freedom and patriotic strength?
Who are those players? Are they in the shadows or not yet relevant. Trump said our country will be set up properly and that it would outlive some of us. How deep is the deep state? How deep is our bench? Who will carry the torch once ours burns out? Who will carry the fight for a generation? What’s the succession plan?
We are setting ourselves up for failure if the strategy involves putting good people in power. Eventually evil will take power or the good will be corrupted. Whatever is left has to be so small and inconsequential that evil people can't do any damage if they take control, or they have no incentive to take control in the first place.
The founding fathers envisioned the smallest government in human history and it ballooned into the biggest and most corrupt ever. There is only one logical next step...
I agree with you 100%. Thanks for the reminder and the big picture assessment.
We have a problem in this country of Big Government of the left. It has taken us, arguably, 90 years (from FDR) or 100 years (from Wilson) or maybe 150 years (from Lincoln) to get in this position. We will not overturn it by one man or one administration. And the solution to Big Government of the left is NOT to install Big Government of the right. The Executive branch has become far too powerful and we must strip away the administrative power.We must shrink the size and reach of government. Weaning Americans and illegals from the addiction of government largess and socialist wealth redistribution cannot be dome fast without significant social cost - probably unacceptable social cost. We must have the same long term plan that the left used to get us here. With a coherent and consistent strategy, the right people can be developed and prepared.
