I love this family. They are together, for one thing. A mother, a father, a young man, and a new baby sister. They are nice. I always feel welcome when I come over.
So, I wouldn’t want to do anything to lose their friendship.
The problem is that I live in California where I am surrounded by liberals and, as a conservative, I have learned to lose my voice, to keep quiet and just listen. I have always been a good listener, even as a small child. You can learn a lot if you listen. I have learned with liberals, there’s no point in trying to state my point of view or speak my mind.
Plus, I work here. I tutor their son. I have been helping him improve his math grade and help him learn what he needs to learn. My reward is seeing his improvement. He has even stopped hating math.
I took two minutes after the end of his lesson to ask him about his other classes. I was surprised to hear he was learning about the U. S. Constitution in social science. I asked him what he was learning, preparing myself for some pap about global warming or the importance of COVID-19. Instead, he told me about the electoral college and its importance. You never know what you’re going to hear when you listen!
During the lesson, the parents had CNN projected onto one wall, muted. It nearly filled the entire space. Someone was talking about the recent election. The translation in another language was printed at the bottom of the screen. I couldn’t read it. It was working. All I knew is it was CNN and people were talking about the recent election.
This family is from another country but had lived here long enough to become citizens. A familiar story in my part of the world, the San Francisco Bay Area.
After the lesson, when I was hurrying to leave, I suddenly found myself bombarded by comments by the mother. She wanted to talk about the recent election. I tried to get away. I am a constitutional conservative and I can’t tell anybody that. Not here in this house where I am hired to tutor the son. That would be wrong.
First the mother began talking to me and then the father came out from another room to add his comments. The next think I knew, I was hearing what they really thought.
I remained neutral. I have had long years of practice. The parents asked me how I voted but I said I tried never to answer that question because I’m a teacher and don’t want to tell my students how to think. I try to just be informative about everything. Impart knowledge. That may have given the parents a big hint right there, as liberal teachers usually tell the students what to think. It’s how they control the young. (“Get them when they’re young, Evite.”)
The parents let me get away with avoiding the answer so we ended up having a good discussion.
I don’t know if they always have CNN on, but to have it on at all told me where they got their information.
The first comments from the parents were about the how Biden already won the election. Both parents asserted this.
I came back with what I had heard – that they were still counting votes in Georgia and that Pennsylvania was in turmoil because the election officials hadn’t gone by their own laws and procedures.
The father agreed with me. He said he knew two states hadn’t made their decision yet — one being Alaska.
That was true so I let that stand. They already knew this election was undecided.
This is what’s weird about brainwashing. Even though the parents knew the election was undecided, they asserted the party line – that Biden had already won.
The parents complained that we didn’t have a national election. I said it was because of the Constitution. Even though we were deciding about national issues, the power was given to each state to decided how to manage the national election. This gave each state the power to be different. (Viva la difference!) If we had a national election, we’d never be able to find the truth. At least, if each state is responsible for the vote count, differences can be highlighted, infractions dealt with. Irregularities could be seen.
The father brought up the 2000 election where Bush had narrowly won over Gore. These parents were pretty well informed but only from the liberal side of things. They were intelligent They just needed to be given information so they could see the whole picture.
The mother said she believed the nation was republican. I wasn’t sure what she meant by that. She said it several times. Finally, I got it. She meant what we believe in as a nation is more in line with the republican message. She used middle America as an example. The father agreed saying the big cities were mostly democratic. I was surprised to hear they understood this. I was dismayed they disregarding it, saying it would be better if there were national elections, a popular vote.
The mother went on to say something shocking. She insisted she voted against the republicans and the nation because she disliked Trump so much. She said there was no way she would ever vote for that man.
Well, that’s in line with the CNN message. They spent a large portion of their airtime putting out messages that were anti-Trump.
She went on to say that she didn’t like Biden. She had only voted for him because he wasn’t Trump.
She was talking to a a Trump supporter – me! I‘m all in for Trump. After Ted Cruz had suspended his campaign back in 2016, I took a good look at Trump. I knew about him from before and I listened carefully to what he was saying now and I realized he was a great American who loved the country. He didn’t have the gift for gab that Lincoln had but he had the love for the country and that was very important for me. Trump loved all American citizens, black or white. That’s what I wanted. We had just had eight years of Obama’s racism and hatred for the country. I never wanted us to go there again. So, after careful consideration, I decided to vote for Trump in 2016. And of course, I voted for him again in 2020, because he hadn’t changed. He had only gotten stronger.
So, these parents were voting for the person not the ideals. They were voting for Biden who did not love the country or the constitution just because they had been taught to hate Trump. Thanks, CNN!
This is like Brave New World and the ”2 minutes of hate.” Aldous Huxley had written about that in his classic novel so many years ago. We should have learned not to accept learning to hate like that. But somehow the mainstream media had taken Huxley’s words to heart and put them into action, only in the wrong way. Didn’t they teach Brave New World in public school anymore?
How could people be so gullible?
These well-meaning foreigners were like so many others I had met. They weren’t raised here. They don’t really know the harm they are doing to the country.
I was born and raised here.
“The Trump affect” is changing that, though. Even if he loses, God forbid, his legacy will be that he saved the nation. We will learn from this. We will do better at teaching an informing the public. We will get past Facebook and Zuckerberg and get out the truth.
More blacks and Hispanics are voting republican. The republicans themselves are waking up. Good things are happening. We were able to gain more seats in the House of Representatives this election. Evil Nancy Pelosi will still be Speaker, I guess, but she will have less power. Even after all the democrat tricks, all the voter fraud, the millions of dollars spent to defeat Trump, and the lies from the mainstream media, the election is still nail bitingly close.
The mother was right. The nation is fundamentally republican meaning we are closer to the Constitution which protects our rights.
Constitution and liberty. We just have to get the message out. We have to break through the liberal lies. We just have to keep the faith and keep on truckin’.
God will save us.
This is God’s country, after all.
Maybe these parents will even catch on. I think they are already beginning to. Their comments revealed the chink in their armor.
Do I have the patience to teach the whole world before the world is lost, I wonder?
