[SEGMENT 1-3] Stories of the converts 1 In religion, in politics and in several other prickly subjects we assume that most everyone has such transforming experiences. How did you become a Republican for example is most often answered with deeply personal stories. The transformation or awakening. But as a friend reminded me, the stories that are deeper than transformation involve betrayal, defection and abdication. And this is what many Democrats experienced. Today’s Democrats suffer an identity crisis. And this one is unmanageable. Ironically, it reminds me of the situation where a battered woman returns to her abuser because she fears life more without him or her. For Blacks, this is the continual voting for Democrats, because you’ve been told that Republicans, ergo white people would be worse than the abuse you currently experience. The gravity to escape can feel like the tug of a Black hole, though every part of your being recognizes the need to. But some do. As a friend wrote, consider those who manage the change: “The ex-Catholics who got on without guilt, the lifelong Democrats who voted for Reagan, the New England daughter of progressive atheists who marries the Southern Baptist minister, their tales are always compelling and sometimes the most insightful. We clamor for the converts. We are captured by the testimony of the walking contradictions among us. By no means are these exclusively captivating. When Michael Corleone turns the corner and becomes a true mob boss, he reinvests and reinvents himself to great success. Only later does he finds himself unable to escape the crime and destruction and be his true self, the self he abandoned - this is the cost of power born of loyalty to the group.” This election provides a cautionary tale for all willing to see it.
[SEGMENT 1-4] Stories of the converts 2 [X] SB – Scarborough on Democrats getting decimated Far beyond Donald Trump How many Democrat converts need to have their stories told. [X] SB – Rasmussen pollster Mark Mitchell has valid questions State outcomes to the left of the popular vote How come Trump changed 10 million people’s mind, but in the battlegrounds that states moved 1-2 points For Democrats and RINOs within the Republican party, I suggest they explore those who escaped the gravity. The people who managed to cut through the noise and propaganda. A friend of mine who is a reformed Liberal voted for Trump in 2024. In 2020 he refused to support Trump, though he admitted Biden was an idiot. In discussing his reluctant vote for Trump, he said to me, “Trump demands loyalty from his people; he got a character flaw in that”. I replied, “What do you demand in people? Disloyalty? You’ve owned companies, and do you want loyal employees or disloyal ones? Loyal friends or disloyal ones? Do you even hear yourself?” He was quite taken aback. But as his frustration with my question cleared, he knew the answer to all my questions. What the hell is wrong with wanting loyal people around you? Trump experienced disloyal people. He experiences a disloyal media and opponent driven by a cabal of elitists loyal only to money and power. As my stoic friend wrote: “Look to the stories of betrayal, abdication and defection. Weigh the consequences of ideological excommunication. In populist politics, the first principle is loyalty. Loyalty has nothing to do with wisdom, discovery, humility or reason. That is why people in America are cancelled and censored. Our society is failing to allow people to safely defect from orthodoxy.” In this election cycle, people were loyal to themselves for the first time in a long time. And if the next Republican candidate adopts Trump’s style, they will grow the populist movement.
