Many of us who have been around for a while will recall when Star Wars was an enjoyable series of space operas. This was before Kathleen Kennedy destroyed the franchise with her woker-than-thou garbage. In the opening film there’s a crucial scene in which Obi-Wan Kenobi (Darth Vader) are fighting lightsaber style. Near the fight’s conclusion, Obi-Wan says to his opponent, “You can’t win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” Shortly thereafter, Kenobi catches a glimpse of Luke Skywalker. Kenobi smiles and allows Vader to strike what seemingly should be a fatal blow … only there is no Kenobi present.
It was this scene that I remember seeing in theater when I finished my senior year high school, as I read about Mar-a-Lago’s raid. While Donald Trump isn’t an Obi-Wan Kenobi variant, the referenced scene accurately portrays what will likely be coming down the pike. It won’t be pretty for Trump’s opponents.
If Trump has evidenced anything in his political career, it’s that the field where he grows his ƒ’s has never produced a crop. He doesn’t care about opinions. Opposition never dissuades him. Trump will always say, and more importantly, do, what he believes to be the best. It is up to you whether or not to get involved. He is happy with either way.
All except perhaps some liberals are aware that Trump was not accused of violating any laws. The raid is about trying to prevent him from running in 2024. The media is fully aware no one believes their bilge water about how the economy is excellent, foreign policy is silky smooth, and anything the Biden Administration says or does is a-ok because climate change will kill us all if we don’t kill our individual, collective, and economic freedom right now. The media tries to spread it anyway in the hopes that they will be able to reach low-information voters. But inside, they realize it’s a losing cause. They can only keep the Democrats at power by fear and lying.
It’s ironic that Democrats must be so concerned with preventing Trump from running for any other political office. If they manage to stop Trump they will instantly position Ron DeSantis for the challenge in 2024. DeSantis may be a stronger opponent to Trump’s plans. DeSantis’ record is impressive. Florida was able to survive COVID because it opened up earlier than any other state. DeSantis shows leadership by being active. For example, he took direct action against CRT- and gender-based teachers. DeSantis lives up to his words.
These are clear differences. DeSantis is hardly Trump’s apprentice. However, he comes from the same cloth; the wearers readily identified by no ƒ’s given and no quarter offered. DeSantis collaborates with like-minded people. For a delicious thought, envision a White House correspondents’ press conference led by Christina Pushaw. By its conclusion, every “journalist” in attendance would be standing because their happy selves would be too roasted to sit down.
You will feel justified anger towards the Mar-a-Lago raiders who are cowardly and blatantly politically motivated. It is normal to feel anger at the cowardly, politically motivated Mar-a-Lago raid. However, it should not consume you. Keep calm and focus. You have every chance that Trump is more than just excellent and emerges stronger than ever. Even if he doesn’t, Ron DeSantis is next man up, he’s got a lightsaber, and he’s definitely not afraid to use it.
