Trump Has Had Enough

Sarah Palin just endorsed Trump in a shrill speech that sounded like the cheerleaders from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It’s “yuge” for his campaign because she’s likely to bring all the Tea Party holdouts who didn’t think he was conservative enough. It’s even yuger for the liberals who hate him because they see this as another step toward America’s first Islamophobic president. We should be focusing on guns instead because…the children.

So much of these two opposing Americas come down to a simple question: What’s worse, being killed by a terrorist or being killed by a mass shooter? The left insists all this terrorism talk is just fearmongering that vilifies Muslims. The right insists all this gun-control talk is just fearmongering that vilifies guns. The odds of either thing happening to you or anyone you know are negligible. Even if you were working in Manhattan on 9/11 the odds of you dying were a fraction of a percent. Mass shootings are even rarer, with only a handful of people dying every year. In fact, France suffered more terror casualties in one year than America had mass-shooting casualties over Obama’s entire presidency.

“We need to be bullish because being tough is what got us here in the first place. ”

Though these two threats seem similar, they couldn’t be more different. One is an unpreventable freak occurrence and the other is part of a general trend to wipe out the West. We’ll always have a couple of lunatics who pop a gasket. Mass shootings are not on the rise overall and banning assault weapons has no effect on them whatsoever. The only similarities I can find between shooters such as Adam Lanza, Dylann Roof, and James Holmes is way too much medication, but they were medicated because they were nuts. None of the background-check laws Obama is crying about would have prevented these shootings. Andrew Kehoe wasn’t worried about background checks when he committed the worst school massacre in history back in 1927. He used explosives to kill 38 children. You can’t fix crazy. It’s not indicative of a pattern and there are no I-told-you-so’s at the other end of the attack. What scare me are liberals. Their flagrant ethnomasochism and childish embrace of everything non-Western is downright dangerous.

The terrorists are not a freak occurrence. They are all following the same handbook. We can pretend only a tiny fraction of Muslims have any malice toward us, but the numbers range from 25 percent to way past 75 percent. That’s at least 3 million potential terrorists in America who think “violence is acceptable against infidels.” I have no delusions about the chances of a home invasion and I’m not scared of being blown up by a jihadist. I’m thoroughly confident I won’t be raped by a refugee in Sweden, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get angry when I see it happening. We all get mad because we know it’s not a random lunatic who’s flipped his lid. It’s the result of an inferior culture being invited by progressives to come and replace us. We rail against the #rapefugees not because we’re scared but because we told you so. We knew Merkel’s plan was a mess. The left’s solution is for men to dress in drag and sing, but that’s the kind of cuck behavior that got us into this mess. We need to be bullish because being tough is what got us here in the first place. It’s why immigrants want to come here. The progressive idea of progress is to encourage Western populations to decline as they are invaded by inferior ones that breed like rabbits.

This is what links Muslims and Mexicans. It’s all about the death of Western chauvinism, literally. If you take out Mexican immigration from American population stats, our population is going down. Politicians and pundits tell us we need this immigration to keep our population afloat, but we’re not being enriched with new citizens eager to assimilate. We’re being replaced. And we’re not being replaced with something better. We’re being replaced with something worse. We tried Sharia law 500 years ago. It didn’t work. We’ve done the whole sacrifice-and-slaughter thing. It’s depressing. There is no good reason to go back there. Islam doesn’t seem to have a problem going backwards. They don’t mind that Iranian women have gone from miniskirts to burqas and I suspect it’s because they are equally comfortable with inbreeding.

We bring up the Muslims and immigration and secularism and guns and the Constitution and Caitlyn Jenner because it’s all part of the same big mess. When couples started getting fined for not allowing gay weddings into their living room the world saw that this wasn’t about loving couples. It was about hating Christians. A good 50 percent of America thinks everything we’ve built is ready to be torn down. They want to #EndCapitalism and #KillAllWhiteMen. White women think they’re being heroic when they refuse to breed because we need to be wiped out. This has gone from some esoteric rant you’d hear the Black Israelites yell, to an academic norm.

When the Tsarnaev brothers detonated their bomb we didn’t clench our fists because we were now too scared to go to marathons. We were angry because it was yet another example of the new way replacing the old way with something far worse. Those boys grew up as normal kids, but they were radicalized here because we are such an inclusive culture that we welcome people who hate us. For today’s immigrant youth, it’s much cooler to be pro-jihad than pro-American. A terrorist attack isn’t proof that all Muslims are terrorists. It’s yet another example of anti-Western policies hurting us in a real and tangible way. This is why Trump is resonating. He recognizes emotion-driven politics are bad for everyone. Immigration is not a hunky-dory system that helps us get the job done. Multiculturalism isn’t our strength. Feminism isn’t liberating women. Gun control doesn’t prevent crime. That’s why we endorse Trump. He’s not willing to upgrade if the new version is worse. I’m reminded of the time a reporter told him not to use “anchor baby” even though we’ve all been using it for decades. Trump asked him what the new word was and the reporter said, “The American-born childs [sic] of undocumented immigrants.” Trump harrumphed and said, “I’ll use the word ‘anchor baby.’” We tried our way and it worked.
