To begin this discussion, the term that first came to mind was “Endurance”. Why? This term best describes the feeling that is being experienced as we now move beyond the November 3rd election of twenty twenty. So why the word endurance you might ask? Because for nearly seventy million people who follow the rules, do things correctly, and performed their civic duty according to the well established, clear cut policies and procedures that have served us for many, many election cycles. So why must we now be asked to endure the fiasco that is currently playing out in front of our eyes with regard to counting the votes for this election? The simple answer is that the more time that it takes, the more opportunity that the Left will have to reach the conclusion they desire by any means necessary. How cynical such sentiment is, you might say, but the evidence is quite overwhelmingly to the contrary.

Despite the fact that countless men and women in America share deeply held convictions and beliefs with regard to what America is and what America represents, our feelings are completely dismissed out of hand by those with differing worldview and political beliefs. Intolerance has soared to unimagined heights and the division between Americans has never been higher. The question is how much must we accept before there is pushback, how much ridicule, vilification, and all out assault must we endure at the hands of the Left?

Consider what those of us who are not on the Left were forced to endure during the eight years of the Obama and Biden regime. Like so many others who remained silent for the most part, we were forced to have our beliefs and ideals stretched beyond belief. Without going into a lengthy list of disastrous policies and failures during Obama/Biden years, suffice it to say that the list of successes is non existent. Of the many that come to mind, I will simply reference the debacle of “Obamacare” as an example. The reason for Obamacare was not for the purpose of providing good, cost effective, healthcare to the masses but rather a raw and naked power grab of what is arguably one sixth of the US Economy. The Left, like any good tyrant is in love with “CONTROL” and power. The idea of being able to control another sixth of the US Economy made the Leftist absolutely giddy with glee. And consider how fair and equitable the process of bringing this behemoth, nightmarish horror into reality was when republicans were simply locked out of the process altogether and were not even allowed into meetings discussing it. And then, Pelosi informed America that it must be passed before we found out what was in it. Are you kidding me with this insanity? Oh but no, they were deadly serious and failing to garner even a single republican vote of support, the Leftist manipulated, twisted, and rewrote rules resulting in them simply “Deeming” the bill to be passed. Every cliche possible about “Smoke Filled” back hallway rooms was true and real with regard to the usurping of America’s healthcare system at the hands of Leftist politicians who were drunk on power. Of course, every lie told about Obamacare has come to pass and it is anything but affordable or good as we were lied to about to begin with.

All of us who did not or do not subscribe to the policies of the Left were forced to endure and watch as weak and feckless policies were rammed down our throats over and over again even though so many of us already knew that their ideology was flawed and their policies were doomed to fail repeatedly. We were forced to endure unbearable taxation, failure of foreign policies as our Embasy was overrun by enemies and our personnel were slaughtered, and we were forced to endure corrupt and criminal political influence peddling as many in the regime were more focused on their personal wealth accumulation than fulfilling the duties that they were sworn to protect and uphold. We were forced to endure two terms of this.

And then, in 2015, Donald J. Trump announced his intention to run for the Presidency of the United States of America. The announcement was met with howls of laughter, ridicule, and outrageous jokes and mocking by everyone on the Left. Of course, we know the outcome and have been, once again forced to endure the out of control, fanatic, lunatic actions of the Left. We have had to endure the reality of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” at the hands of Leftist Politicians, Entertainers, Sports Figures, and the entire Mainstream Media who immediately launched into endless, non stop, twenty four hour a day cycles of anything and everything that they could manufacture to harm or delegitimize the Trump Administration and those who support it. We have had to endure outright hatred, looting, burning, and chaos at the hands of Leftists from coast to coast. We have had to endure assaults on law enforcement, tearing down historical monuments, and destruction of private and government property for month after month. And now, we are told that we must endure the blatant attempt to steal the current election.

The corrupt process is by design and was crafted by unscrupulous, corrupt people intent on regaining power and control through any means necessary even if that requires lying, cheating, and stealing. Currently, their process is to “Count Until They Win” by keeping republicans out of counting rooms, “Curing Ballots”, having dead voters cast votes, and all of the corrupt and criminal processes necessary to achieve their ends. The question is at this point, how much more are we to endure? Are we to sit idly by as our way of life and country as we know it are transformed into something completely unrecognizable at the hands of radicals intend on completely destroying it? Wake up America!

Trying to understand and analyze how and why people vote the way that they do requires some basic understanding of the two primary groups that people tend to fall into. Let’s call these two groups “Takers” verses “Makers”. Stripping away the majority of all of the rest of the labels, politics, and divisive factors, we find that most people will easily fall into one or the other of these categories. The majority of us are driven and motivated by certain factors that determine our mindset and worldview overall. Over time, as we mature and grow into adulthood, our political motivations and beliefs can become very strong. Why is this? For some, it is determined by the environment throughout childhood and beyond. There are those whose political identity is deeply rooted in their family history and heritage. They will say, I am a democrat or republican because that is what my family has always been. Or, my state is democrat or republican and has been for decades. Ok, great, but why? The reasons behind this rigid political loyalty has been fascinating for some time.

So let’s assume that we can put most, if not all people into one of two categories and we will call these Takers or Makers. What are they and why do people tend to be one or the other? Good question, right up there with, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”. Understanding what divides people along political lines can and does fill extensive tomes on the subject and scholars have written and pondered this exhaustively throughout human history, worldwide. Political differences have brought us everything from Monarchs to Tyrants throughout the history of man, throughout time. Political worldview have led to the rise of the Third Reich and the spread of Nazi’s throughout Europe, Socialism and Communism elsewhere, and Marxism along with varying degrees of all of the above in one way or another. A simple review of history will show that nearly every single one of these belief systems and world views has failed, miserably, whenever and wherever it has been tried. Oh sure, you might say but we have Cuba, Russia, and China today and they are under this type of political system. Fine, but how are they really doing? How do the people fare under such systems of governance? Again, this is the topic of many, many scholarly dissertation and pontification.

The socio-political atmosphere breaks down into basically two primary thought groups and we will call them “Takers” or “Makers”. So who would we put into these two categories and why? First, we have the “Makers” and this group tends to be comprised of those who are goal driven and strive to become better or improve themselves. This will be the type of people who work hard to either further themselves academically to pursue professional occupations or those who will pursue a more service oriented training scenario. “Makers” are those who produce and are productive, perhaps they spend their lives dedicated to building a business or continuing one that was passed down to them. Makers are those who will typically be dedicated to hard work and furthering their career and human condition of getting married, having a home, raising a family, and so on. We can see that it would be “Makers” who would have been the first to risk everything to come to a raw, untamed, and wild America and spend many generations of blood, sweat, and tears, carving out a place for themselves. It would be the “Makers” who would have build this land from scratch and spent generations honing it into the shining jewel of prosperity and freedom that we enjoy today.

The second group that we must consider are those that we will call the “Takers”. The “Takers” prefer to do as little as possible and to not exert themselves for much of anything. This group is seldom happy and always seem to be complaining about anything and everything that is going on around them all the while doing nothing to change the situations that they are complaining about. This group of people quite often consider themselves to be superior intellectually and morally superior simply because they believe themselves to be so. “Takers” tend to prefer to live off of the toil of others while contributing little to nothing themselves. Today, we have many examples as many children will move home to live with their parents instead of working to make a way for themselves. Many have been politically radicalized by extremist academic instructors throughout their educational lives and have been intellectually dumbed down to become useful political tools. It is this group of compliant and obedient lemmings who typically take to the streets to cause chaos and leave a swath of destruction due to looting, arson, mayhem for whatever reason they deem at any given point. This group is largely unemployed or underemployed if not totally dependent on Social Welfare programs provided by the government. This category largely comprises the ranks of the current democrat party of far Left extremists. If not challenged, the ranks of indoctrinated drones will continue to expand exponentially as every year brings more properly mind numbed lemmings who will graduate or be pushed out of the indoctrination process of higher education to take their place in the swelling ranks of extremists neophytes loyal to the Left. The idea of this should send chills down the spine of every person who currently enjoys the freedom and liberty that America, as we know it currently offers. If this runaway train of disaster is not challenged and derailed soon, we may soon pass the point of no return as the “Takers” are intent on destroying our way of life to be replaced by some fictitious facsimile of what they deem to be a more fair system and lifestyle. We must not let this happen and must resist at every level possible. Wake up America!
