Being liberal generally, is ‘supposed’ to mean valuing progress, change, and individual freedoms. Liberals tend to support ideas like equal rights, social programs to help people in need, and government involvement in solving societal issues. They often advocate for personal freedoms, such as free speech and reproductive rights, and believe in policies that promote fairness and opportunity for everyone.

That is not how the last four years went from the side that label’s itself as liberal or progressive. We can even say to an extent the eight years before Trump’s first run at president, which now looks like Trump never really had the support within his own circle. In late 2024 that changed when Trump did something no presidential candidate in modern history has faced. Challenges galore—legal battles, media opposition, an assassination attempt, and years of political attacks—yet he still secured a decisive victory. While the numerical margin may not reflect a historic landslide, the circumstances surrounding the win make it one of the most significant political comebacks in US history.

Both liberal and conservative sides spin the narrative to fit their agenda—the right will exaggerate the margin to make the win seem even bigger, while the left will downplay it or twist the numbers. Significance on downplay and twist public opinion. The truth lies somewhere in between: Trump’s victory was decisive, not necessarily in sheer numbers, but on the concept of what the victory means for all of us. Drastic Change…

We know when we’re emotionally compromised (unhinged), which seems constant now, we cannot use our thinking brain, which also seems constant. The modern-day liberals, not the old-time lifers but this newer, younger breed of liberal doesn’t believe in literal progress. They say progress, progressive, but the actions actually lead us backward. How can a thing, anything, be moving forward, to, ‘progress in,’ if it is actually going backward? That one question explains about five thousand words of semantics from me, but since that question cannot be answered objectively and all we’ll get from either side is a subjective one, we must Trump forward with the five thousand-word breakdown here. This version of the liberals will never get it. That is why America is leaving them and their values behind👍

Don't Want To Be Left Behind?

Stop following the dumb-dumbs off the bridge because they changed the definition of what a bed of spikes is. They now call it water...

It's not water... It’s a bed of fucking spikes you are about to land on. It always was a bed of spikes. The bed of spikes didn’t just change its nature cause you voted to change its name. You just blindly jumped off a bridge into spikes because some chick in that movie cried on social media and you want to be accepted by her soooooo badly...

Not sorry... You are left behind because nonsense like that. You no longer can be trusted, in any respect.

That's why people are ignoring you. Not because you stand for good over evil or right over wrong, but because you show no moral fiber in your daily routine. People can't trust you because you cannot be trusted with important concepts, but yet we're all the problem.

Get over yourselves. You are not a unique little snowflake. You're not that important to the Earth and mankind as a whole. You are important to your circle. After that, not a whole lot. The Earth and its people will do what they do regardless of your opinion of it. But don’t you dare attempt to fuck with mine or our peace. That is what we all try to do with all that hard work we all do. To make a peaceful life for ourselves. While you cheat, lie, take, abuse the system and when we wanna do an audit. You lose your goddamn mind about it, but have no problem giving money to foreign countries to wage war and feed their people while ours suffer and you get cash kickbacks labeled as gender studies in Central America in your account. It’s not cool. The country has had enough and now some of you wanna complain about that too. You will be left behind and you still don’t get why you are being left behind. That is your problem. Not all people will follow the delusional. In fact, most won’t.

People hear you. They considered it. You were weighed. You were measured and you were found, lacking… They voted the other way unanimously. What more do you need? You are alone and something about those that have nothing; they cannot fight for anything. They know nothing of what that means or entails. It's like trying to explain a sphere to a straight line. A straight line will never understand 3D in any respect. It's beyond its comprehension.

Personal character and behavior matter more than your unhinged pseudo-logic, based on; purely emotion and uncritical thinking, parading around as if it is critical thinking. Judging or hating someone or a group because you cannot articulate your thoughts is a sign of intolerance, narcissistic sociopathy, and close-mindedness. The core idea is that differences shouldn’t dictate personal relationships—what matters is how people conduct themselves, not who they support, and more importantly, why…

That is the part people get hung up on. Not all, but many cannot do this—articulate their perspective to others and have that perspective actually be logical. Most times, the logic is nowhere to be found, and these people cannot handle that due to their own fantasy of being more important to the world, in their own mind, than they actually are. Get a grip. Go outside and look at the sun. Go to a zoo, go to a lake or beach. Do something other than screaming nonsense in the hopes that someone will give more than their usual two shits and a fuck about you, your point of view, your voice, your input and just respect in general…

It's why my closed circle is both small and closed. I simply cannot trust you… With anything. And that is the only badge of merit one needs with me—it is also the easiest to lose and never get back. God forgives. So do I. I also do not forget and make my decisions based on that. A one-dimensional being will never comprehend a two-dimensional one or even a three-dimensional one. It is beyond them, and it shows…

Be careful how you present, display yourself, and your beliefs in this reality. If your intention or goal is to force others who do not share your insights on this reality we share; where the perspective of that reality we share differs from the person who doesn’t think like you or believe what you believe, regardless if your evidence is opinion-based or based on actual merited-fact—a fact that can be proven regardless if you believe it is real or not—(Objectivity) —if you attempt to force them to change without logically explaining your reasoning, and you get angry and push that person away because they do not see your perspective, and out of frustration you push them away because you cannot articulate your thoughts in a logical manner, those people won't come back to you. Those who truly care won't tolerate such treatment. They cannot trust you after such dismissive behavior, so why would they want to come back into your circle?

My take is a little different but in the same boat.

I say if one looks up at the sky and another person from a "other" side says; "why are you looking down?" You look at them puzzled-like, "what do you mean, down? This is up..."

Other side says "’up’ is the new down.” This isn't a debate over different beliefs. It’s a debate over if this person is delusional or not. How can I trust people, any one person or even a group of people that believe delusions are real things? I can't... It’s easier to leave them be, where I found them, in the gutter and not look back.

I have not removed my family or friends or even acquaintances, but I no longer listen to what they have to say. About anything. Its peanuts-mother-talk now. Just noise in the background, that still screams loudly but incoherently, so no one is listening. Or at the very least I am not.

It’s all about trust. I cannot trust people that think down is the new up or backward is progress (ive). It’s not a healthy situation at all; nor is it a winning philosophy. It’s a winning philosophy if you get rich off other people's misery and act like that is good and nothing is wrong.

This "other" side has not learned anything and apparently they cannot do simple, basic math either. They were out voted, drastically, it wasn't close, not at all. It wasn’t a landslide like the right-media is saying, but it wasn’t very close either. They don't like facts so they make up their own under the "pseudo-logic" classification.

Again, for me it comes down to trust, critical thinking, logic and common sense. This "other side" has not been able to do that and not been able to do that for a pretty long time. These voices are minority, minor and they are finally being ignored...

At one time this "other side" stood for something, now it stands for itself. It is like that crazy person that talks about how everyone else being crazy, but come to find out, no, it is them and has been them the whole time. This is called self-projection, where a person or group talks about another but is really talking about themselves. I see it all the time in the world and in even darker places like social media and the sites from the dark web (websites not indexed by google, not necessarily bad or evil places but you will find such things there.)

I had a friend who used to talk about crazy sick shit about girls, come to find out it was him that did these things to these girls. He wanted me to know it was him without me directly knowing it was him. You have people like that on social media and you have them next door to you and they are your elected officials as well. They watch your kids. Patrol your streets and even give you mail. In some cases steal your mail. You will know because they will always give you a very weird vibe about themselves, but one cannot put their foot on it as to what and why they feel that way, they just do… Flash-forward some time later and you find out this person is into some very weird, sick and illegal shit. Trust that feeling. It is usually always right…

Politically it doesn't matter which side you choose. It’s one snake, with a head at each end. The body is hidden from them. The heads face one another believing each head is its own separate enemy. The reality is it’s the same snake... Easter egg from Conan the Barbarian (1982).

I don't support our government interfering with the ability of the American people (only citizens) to live

their lives at any capacity at the federal, state, and local level. I support the bare minimum because it is us that make the machine go boom, not the bureaucrats. Politicians shouldn’t even exist. We should be self-sufficient to where we do not need them. Like lawyers. We should never need them.

Why Lawyers and Politicians Shouldn’t Exist (But Do Anyway):

If life were a well-written script, we wouldn’t need lawyers. Or politicians. Or any of the suits and madmen who exist solely to convert the incomprehensible into the barely manageable. In a rational world, laws would be written like IKEA manuals—simple, pictographic, and, at worst, requiring a single confused phone call to an uncle who once built a shelf. Instead, we live in a world where every law is drafted in the linguistic equivalent of Lovecraftian horror, a writhing mess of clauses, sub-clauses, and references to obscure precedents buried in the depths of legal archives. It’s absurd, really. We have “laws” that are supposed to guide us, yet we require trained interpreters—lawyers—who charge by the hour just to translate these cryptic texts into something resembling human language. If we need an elite caste of semantic wizards to decipher our own rules, have we not already lost the game? The very existence of a legal profession implies that the law is fundamentally unintelligible to the people it governs. And therein lies the great cosmic joke: we are governed by words we cannot read.

This is, of course, by design. Politicians, the other necessary-unnecessaries, have mastered the art of building systems that require them to exist. They are the overpaid cancers of civilization—tinkering with things just enough to justify their salaries while ensuring that nothing ever works without their continued intervention. Like the great bureaucratic serpent or dragon eating its own tail, they create problems to fix problems, all while convincing us that without them, the world would collapse into Mad Maxian chaos. Just watch the news. It is all you see coming from the libRats, but consider this: if government were so essential, why does everything feel like it’s held together with duct tape and wishful thinking? Roads still crack, infrastructure still crumbles, and Social Security still doesn’t answer its god damn phone. It’s as if every system was designed by someone who was actively betting against its success. The sheer inefficiency of it all borders on performance art.

Laws are meant to be universal, yet they are written in an exclusionary dialect spoken fluently only by the legally ordained smart people who tend to prove they are not so smart once they are in control over something bigger than themselves. We even have people with law degrees that cannot speak the language of law at all. People like Kamala Harris and her very insulting word salads of nonsense and we are all supposed to shake our heads in acceptance and understanding? What in the living fuck? This is no accident. The more confusing the law, the more valuable the translator. If legalese were clear and accessible, the legal industry would crumble overnight, much like the way prescription medication would cost pennies if not for the towering network of medical bureaucracy. Lawyers, like politicians, function as linguistic tollbooths on the bridge to justice, extracting their due before allowing passage.

Imagine a world where the law was written so plainly that a ten-year-old could understand it. A world where contracts, lawsuits, and legislation didn’t require interpretative dance to make sense. But no, instead, we get a labyrinth of fine print that ensures no one, save for the chosen few, can navigate it. This is not law; this is wizardry. And if the law is sorcery, lawyers are its gatekeeping priests.

Hope? No, But At Least a Chuckle of Sardonic Cynical Nihilism.

Of course, none of this will change. Bureaucracy metastasizes; systems grow more convoluted; laws become denser; and politicians continue to manufacture the illusion of necessity. This is the natural order of things, as unstoppable as entropy. But in the face of such absurdity, perhaps all we can do is laugh. Laugh at the fact that we pay people to explain rules we should already understand. Laugh at the fact that civilization, for all its grandeur, is a Rube Goldberg machine designed by committee. Laugh, because the alternative is screaming into the void—and the void is already full of lawyers.

Our politics is more of a poorly scripted tragicomedy, endlessly rebooted with worse casting each cycle. The latest act? A political sleight of hand so brazen that it assumes the average voter possesses the critical thinking skills of a concussed goldfish.

How the Backward Progressively Go Backward:

The Progressive—the elitist that practically salivates with the disdain of a talk-radio host who just discovered irony but refuses to use it—tend to regard the American people as idiots. They talk down to us all. They tell us how to live. They demand our obedience. They tell us to trust them because they know better. Considering the electorate’s track record includes enthusiastically electing celebrities, con men, and people whose entire political ideology can be reduced to an AI-generated brand slogan. But if the people were actually, you know, “smart,” (a thought experiment so dangerous it borders on science fiction), would they really fall for the notion that Kamala Harris was ever a viable President-in-waiting, past, present or even future?

She can’t and couldn’t even articulate why she wanted the job. And who can blame her really? She cheated her entire life, using her skin color and gender as a basis for why the rules should not apply to her. Why does anyone seek power in a system that eats its own, where every grand ambition is met with bureaucratic quicksand and the relentless entropy of public disinterest? She stood alongside an administration that history is going to regard as a slow-motion car crash into a flaming orphanage, and rather than confront the wreckage, the powers that be simply asked the American people to squint until it looked like an art installation. The reclassification and redefinitions of what things actually mean. First they did this with words and phrases. Now they attempt to do with video. One of the first things I learned in film school. Everything you see and hear on a pre-recorded, heavily edited, piece, whatever the piece is, is crafted, and created to give you, the viewer, a reaction. That reaction does not have to be based at all on honesty or objective facts. What you see is what they want you to see. That is how production of a narrative is done. When all else fails. Go back to the beginning. You cannot win a game if you do not know or play by the rules and those rules seem to change whenever the other player you play against is changing them as they see fit when they see fit.

The deception, if we can even call it that, was so half-ass it bordered on performance art of an SNL sketch. “Look away.” “Don’t ask questions,” they said, as if the average citizen—already juggling inflation, existential dread, and a social media addiction—had the time or energy to be fooled in the first place. No, the failure wasn’t hidden; it was paraded through the streets with the frantic enthusiasm of a magician who just realized their rabbit is dead while wearing a dress he stole from the airport luggage wheel.

And let’s talk about effort. Or rather, the absence of it. The left has redefined hard work as something that happens exclusively from home, preferably in between TikTok dances and overpriced oat-milk lattes and let’s not forget eggs. A damning accusation, though one wonders if the real issue here is economic resentment or a secret longing to join them. After all, who among us wouldn’t trade sweat-drenched labor for a six-figure salary earned in pajama pants? The horror isn’t that some people figured out how to game the system—it’s that the rest of us still believe the game was ever fair to begin with.

But at the end of the day, does any of it matter? Politics is, and always has been, the art of convincing people that they have a choice when, in reality, they’re just selecting the flavor of their inevitable disappointment. Maybe the real joke isn’t the politicians who fail so spectacularly, but the fact that we still expect anything else. Don’t forget, infinity literally means, on a long enough time scale the survival rate for all life is zero. Another way to conceptualize it is if you start walking in a straight line, hypothetically, as there is no such thing as a true straight line in reality, everything is curved, we just do not see the curve in the literal sense, because it is so vague where the curve begins to curve that it is undetectable to us, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real, true, or an objective fact. That is what an objective fact is. A fact outside of your point of reference that is true regardless if you know, believe or have input on that truth. It’s just true and that objectivity of the Universe does not give two-shits and a fuck whether or not you care or not or even participate. You, me, us, are not as important as we want to believe. We just aren’t… Get over it… But back to infinity and straight lines. If you start walking in a straight line, infinity happens. Space curves, time stretches, and the absurdity of existence plays out on an endless loop. You walk long enough, far enough, and eventually, you come across someone about to set off on their own straight-line journey. And the real mind-bender? That person is you—setting out infinities ago, doomed to repeat the same path, over and over, as if choice or direction ever really existed in the first place.

What is Truth?

• A Philosopher - Truth is an elusive ideal, a convergence of perception and reality. It exists independently yet is filtered through subjective experience. Some say truth is absolute, others that it is contingent. Perhaps it is neither, merely a construct we chase but never fully grasp.

• A Physicist - Truth is that which is testable, measurable, and repeatable. It is the consistency of natural laws, the fabric of reality governed by equations. While our models improve, truth itself remains indifferent to our understanding—it simply is, whether we perceive it correctly or not.

• A Politician - Truth is flexible—it’s about perception and persuasion. What matters isn’t what is true, but what people believe to be true. If the narrative is strong enough, it becomes the truth, at least in the minds of those who matter.

• A Truck Driver - Truth is simple—it’s what actually happened, no matter what anyone says. You either made the delivery on time, or you didn’t. People might twist words all they want, but truth don’t change just ‘cause someone don’t like it.

• A Lawyer - Truth is whatever can be proven. It exists within evidence, arguments, and precedent. There is factual truth, but in a courtroom, what matters is legal truth—the version that can convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

• A 10-Year-Old Child - Truth is when you're not lying. If something really happened, then it's true. But sometimes, grown-ups say different things are true at the same time, and that’s really confusing. Maybe truth is just what most people agree on?

In modern society, certain ideologies have positioned themselves as absolute moral authorities, defining what is acceptable to think, say, or believe. These ideologies claim to champion progress, equality, and reason, but in doing so, they often suppress dissenting views rather than engaging with them. Truth has become politicized—facts and reasoned arguments are no longer neutral but are instead framed as ideological statements, often dismissed as "problematic" or "dangerous."

Disagreement is no longer seen as part of a healthy debate but as a moral failing. Those who question dominant narratives risk being ostracized, labeled with judgmental terms, or outright silenced. The result is a form of intellectual conformity where only one worldview is permitted, and alternative perspectives are rejected not through discussion but through social and professional consequences. This shift has led to a paradox: while modern society prides itself on rationality and critical thinking, it increasingly ignores evidence that contradicts its favored beliefs. In doing so, it undermines the very principles of reason, debate, and free expression that it claims to uphold. Many people sense this contradiction but fear speaking out due to the potential consequences. However, as awareness of this dynamic grows, more voices are beginning to challenge it. And those voices are winning. No longer does volume dictate quality but rather clarity itself as quality.

A Warning About the News You Watch:

Mainstream media—CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and FOX—often distorts the full picture. They condense stories, inject opinion, and prioritize engagement over truth. This has led many people to turn toward independent journalists, but that shift comes with its own dangers.

On social media, anyone can brand themselves as a journalist, and many are more focused on monetization than accuracy. They know how to manipulate algorithms, emotions, and controversy for attention.

This is opening up another can of worms that someone somewhere is going to have to deal with. While some independents do solid reporting, many do not. This is why critical thinking is essential. People on the internet will do and say anything to get famous or make money so they don’t have to work regular jobs. While some are serious about what they do, how they do it, why they do it, most are not. Most are just trying to make a dollar doing nothing or at least in their mind it is doing nothing. Again, with that delusional, look at me, pay attention to me, follow me bull shit.

You should apply the same skepticism to independent news as you do to mainstream media. Ask:

• Does this information make logical sense?
• Does it rely on facts or emotional manipulation?
• Is there evidence beyond personal claims?

You won’t find truth in one source alone. The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. Be Mindful of Influence, Not Just Information. Much like how news companies profit from engagement, many so-called "experts" and influencers—whether journalists or self-help authors—profit from telling you what you want to hear. Before blindly trusting a source, consider what they gain from your belief.

Watch, think, and move on with your day. And stop buying books that promise to change your life—they don’t know you, they just want your money.

It’s Minority Not Army:

The Minority and their math problem with revolution that can’t count - Threats, whether empty or real, rely on a fundamental principle: the ability to execute. And when it comes to the idea that 0.6% of the U.S. population—the trans community—could create large-scale unrest, the numbers simply don’t add up. Let’s put this into perspective: In a country of 330 million people, 0.6% equals roughly 2 million individuals—and that’s assuming every single trans person would actively participate in this hypothetical campaign of chaos. Spoiler: They won’t. The reality is that any significant movement requires numbers, organization, and resources. While this 0.6% is hoping the 7.6% of all LGBT that are adults help out in the cause. It isn’t likely they will get as much support under those terms for some sort of a revolution. There are many people within the subculture that do not appreciate the sentiments coming from that portion of the trans community. This is why small fringe groups, regardless of ideology, are almost always relegated to disjointed acts of symbolic protest, not systemic or systematic upheaval. Yet, in the internet’s echo chambers, the loudest voices often believe they can substitute online influence for real-world power. This is the essence of modern ideological movements—subcultures that masquerade as mainstream. "Whoa-ke Cult-Lure" thrives on the illusion that being the most vocal equates to being the majority, but in a democratic nation, numbers—not volume—dictate influence. The reason they scream so loudly is because they have to. Otherwise, their numerical insignificance would be impossible to ignore. And when challenged? Logic is not an option. Instead, labels—“bigot,” “transphobe,” “racist”—are deployed like smoke grenades, diverting attention away from the fact that they cannot mathematically or rationally sustain their own claims. It’s a tactical admission of intellectual defeat. So, will they make the country unsafe? Um, I say, what army? How do they expect to actually make any of this a reality logistically when you only have less than 2 million people out of 600+ million. It’s hilarious to watch these people cry though...

Elon Musk and DOGE:

The last thing I want to leave on is the whole Elon Musk thing. I think Joe Rogan said it best, so I am just gonna let Joe, do what Joe does. Scare the piss out of the people that should be scared.

“People are worried that Elon is going to steal everyone's money. He has $400 Billion. Elon's not going to steal your money. That's not what he's doing. He's a super genius that has been fucked with. When you've been fucked with by these nitwits that hide behind 3-letter agencies, and you're dealing with one of the smartest people alive helping Donald Trump get into office and find out what corruption is really going on, you fucked up.

You fucked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum. He's going to hunt you down and find out what's going on, and that's good for everyone. That's how you should be looking at this, like 'Wow, we have a brilliant mind examining these really corrupt and goofy systems and bringing in a bunch of psychopath wizards.” —Joe Rogan

Final Thoughts:

I voted RED in the election, but the enemy of enemy is my friend, till they’re not. I do not stand for everything conservatives stand for. I will never stand with or for Jesus. Believe if you want, but leave me the fuck alone with it. I will never make it my business what a woman does with, to, or for her baby inside her. I will never support men in female places, spaces, or sports. I would never give support to help an illegal person prosper. I always want less Government in my day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year life. I never want more. While I support some common sense law pertaining to guns I generally support the 2^nd Amendment. I absolutely loathe political correctness of any kind. While I think we should do more to help the environment I refuse to believe human beings are the root cause to such a level we have to outright stop how we live. While we need to stop putting limits on developing new technologies. There are a bunch of old technologies, well, old, that the Patent office has buried in their files. Every time someone invents something new that could hinder the oil industry that tech get buried or repurposed. We can start there. If we want to lighten up on the environment both sides have to work on this. Not one and not some plan that clearly is directionless and its only goal is to make America weak. But, hey, in the meantime I have to choose dumb so dumber doesn’t get to rule over the very many that serve the very small to rule over the very many. Sounds silly doesn’t it?

That’s because it is… Silly…
Five Thousand, told you so…
