If it doesn&#8217;t occur we are almost guaranteed to see<br \/>\nthe MIC prevail in generating more wars abroad while forcing Trump to become the very<br \/>\ntyrant many already believe him to be in dealing with the inevitable civil unrest that lies just over the horizon here at home.<\/p>\n<p>The country must unite for peace behind him and stop Cold War 2 or face the potential<br \/>\nfor dire consequences in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>This left-right double team of drooling hatred towards Trump has so far failed to stop<br \/>\nhim from winning the election and prevailing in the Electoral College.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, this self-destructive insanity will likely continue by both factions. The MSM is there<br \/>\n24\/7 to fuel the fires of discontent. Their almost total opposition provides a platform for<br \/>\nMcCain to bellow against the evils of Russia in Aleppo while allowing John Podesta and otherHillary allies to blame her defeat on Putin hacking their e-mails.<\/p>\n<p>Even if this were true, it is all too little too late when compared to the danger of provoking war with Russia through more sanctions and more demonizing that can lead to &#8220;lone-gunman&#8221; assassinations of diplomats as we saw happen in Ankara on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>A better way forward must be found if peace is to be achieved and tyranny avoided. The Left must take responsibility for their complicity in our wars of aggression whether fostered by Bush in Iraq or Obama and Clinton in Libya and Syria.<\/p>\n<p>The failure by Sanders in the primary and Hillary during the general election to do so was a key factor in Trump&#8217;s ultimate success. It constituted a bridge for the anti-war elements of the Tea Party and Occupy Movements to share in their mutual disdain for the Washington Consensus that has authorized illegal wars for regime change in the name of democracy and humanitarian intervention.<\/p>\n<p>It is this narrow path of common cause that is the most important part of Trump&#8217;s message: not isolation as his detractors would claim but the promise of peace by AVOIDING FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS as our Founders warned us! That should be the message of inspiration for all Americans as to what Trump wants to accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>Can he perform more miracles and actually achieve this? Even though I predicted him<br \/>\nwinning the election a year ago, I have been at times overwhelmed by the media assault<br \/>\nand doubted his ability to prevail. <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=52901\">https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=52901<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump is a deeply flawed person who has already made decisions that make me question his authenticity. <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=60806\">https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=60806<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Having said that, I need to heed my own message and give the man a chance. For better<br \/>\nor for worse, he is our only hope at this time. If he fails, it is likely we all fail. I pray against<br \/>\nall evidence to the contrary that those pursuing his demise can embrace this reality and<br \/>\naccept whatever leadership he can provide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60978\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
