The Movement
The culture of fear is lifting.
Dan Bongino.
By Dr. Jim Ferguson
When I told editor Becky the title of this week’s column, she quipped, “You better inform people the title has no reference to bowel function.” Even jokes are again possible!
Have you sensed it? I have and so have others. Things just seem brighter and more hopeful since the election, despite the approach of winter. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas, but winter snow, I’m one and done.
The mood of the country has shifted. Christmas lights are already going up. People are no longer afraid to say that a man is a man and a woman is a woman. Cars with color are reappearing to replace bland black, white and gray tones. And I get smiles when wearing my MAGA cap. People can do the Trump Twist and not be gaslighted (shamed) or blacklisted. The darkness is lifting.
Recently, I wrote about revolutions that are underway across the country. I believe we are in the midst of an American cultural revolution. Americans have had enough of drag queens in schools, open borders with crime and drugs, a damaged economy and inflation. Americans no longer trust the legacy media. These Democrat propagandists have become largely irrelevant and are dying as their audience/readers leave and their ad revenues dry up. And by the time you read this, Comcast/NBC may have shed MSNBC. Reportedly, Rachael (maddog) Maddow’s salary of twenty-something million was reduced by 5 million. But MSNBC may soon be bankrupt and Maddow, Morning Joe and Mika, and the racist Joy-less Reid may all be getting pink slips. I won’t miss their rants.
The left wants an ever-bigger government with bureaucrats in control of education and government healthcare, as well as more taxes. They have to hide their motives with homophobic, racist, class warfare rants protected by the legacy media. But no more. The movement composed of MAGA Constitutionalists, Libertarians and Republicans inspired by President Trump is sweeping the country.
But don’t expect Democrat reflection or a course correction. There may be temporary wailing after their election shellacking, but they’ll be back with a vengeance. They’ve already resumed their ad hominem (personal) attacks.
Congressman Matt Gaetz removed himself from cabinet consideration due to allegations that Biden’s DOJ investigated and found no cause for indictment. Do you doubt Biden’s corrupt DOJ would have passed on an indictment if there was substance to the allegations?
The Democrats have now shifted to Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. There is an adage that if you’re catching flack, you’re over the target. Meaning, if Democrats are screaming and scheming, you should persevere in your cabinet nominations and appointments. Ignore the Democrat media and the Washington Blob’s disapproval.
Democrat delusions continue as sanctuary Blue city mayors and Democrat governors posture in opposition to removing criminal illegals. The principal function of government is to protect citizens. Those Democrat leaders favor protecting illegals over citizens like Laken Riley.
President Donald Trump was historically elected president with a sweeping victory in the Electoral College along with the popular vote, all the swing states and 2,500 out of 3,000 counties. Furthermore, down-ballot triumphs allowed Republicans to control both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
(Sidebar – there is a lesson for Senators and Representatives: We The People want President Trump’s appointments and his MAGA agenda. Get with the program or get out of the way. Get with the Trump movement, a historic coalition of ordinary Americans of diverse races, backgrounds, religions, work status and ages.)
President Trump persevered and triumphed against vilification, lawfare, big money, Tech Lords, academia, the deep state/blob, celebrities, Democrats and their legacy media. You may think it odd, but Trump’s perseverance made me think of Romans 5:3-5 where Paul notes that difficulty produces perseverance which builds character and leads to hope that does not fail. Trump’s perseverance is now legendary.
President Trump loves America. Trump is genuine… and it shows. He cares for the American people and has risked everything, even assassination, to end the insanity and reign in the corrupt institutions of our government. Washington elites and swampies can side with Democrats or the MAGA movement. And we are watching for the next election cycle where obstructionists can be primaried.
People are also asking, “Is woke over?” I believe that Obama’s “transformation of America” and the Marxist “long march through the institutions” (education) have been exposed for what they are.
Our modern-day Gettysburg was fought on November 5th, 2024. After Gettysburg, it took two more years to defeat the Confederacy. It will take years for Trump, his Cabinet and Congress to turn the country around. An aircraft carrier takes many miles of ocean to change course. Turning America’s ship of state will take some time, especially with Brandon still screwing things up at the border and around the world.
Is DEI done? Apparently not at Jaguar whose CEO bragged about teams of company DEI operatives. Is the British car company intent on destruction? After watching Jaguar’s Bud Light ad, Forest Gump might say, “And just like that,” it will die.
I’ll mention one more aspect of our cultural revolution. On a recent visit with my Oregon daughter’s family, we went to see the Pixar movie “Inside Out” dealing with childhood emotions. It was a clever and wonderful movie. It’s amazing that this subsidiary of Disney can produce such artful child fair, including Toy Story. While Disney keeps trying to die by producing their woke, DEI “Snow White.”
Contrast this with Angel Studios which is thriving with movies and shows like “Sound of Freedom,” “The Chosen” and most recently “Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin.” America is hungry for movies that aren’t afraid to counter the left’s cultural Marxism. If you doubt my support of “Bonhoeffer,” just read Wikipedia’s leftist screed.
“Oh, The Times They Are a-Changin,” sang Bob Dylan, and he’s right. Take heart because we are in the midst of a revolution driven by the movement led by Donald Trump. Actually, that’s only partially true. The real movement was orchestrated by the Miracle Worker in Butler, Pennsylvania. Our general was saved by The King of the Universe, God’s moniker in “The Chosen.”
Onward Christian soldiers… we have much work to do.
