Fasting for 2 days so far with 2 left

I have a colonoscopy coming up... I have a particular diet I have to follow before the procedure. This is something that I've talked about a lot over the last couple weeks. For almost a week before I was supposed to start this special diet, I spoke about what I could eat. I went over ideas of what I could eat or do during the 4 days I had planned on doing the altered diet. The reason I was going to do this was due to my brother's first colonoscopy not being done due to the diet not working for him. So my thought was to prolong it 2 days

Day 1 was supposed to be salads since it was outside the surgery window. The idea being that I would get some semi-solid food in to help with the cleanse. Day two was going to be start of liquid only. I was going to buy ice cream, pudding, and some broth which could be heated up. Day three fell on Super Bowl Sunday so I was in a quandary. I planned on taking a couple packs of pudding cups and some vanilla ice cream to watch it so I would have food. This was also the day I needed to have Gatorade G2 to mix with the Miralax. I needed to buy a minimum of 2 bottles of light colored flavors. Also would purchase a pack to drink for nutrition. The final day I would need clear liquids only so I was stuck with what was left of the broth and water.

The plan that I had discussed for days was getting the food and drink I needed on the day I started. I talked about the limitations and how I had to be careful on which types of soda, tea, ice cream, pudding, broth, or juices I could have. Normally I drink Dr Pepper but do to the need to avoid anything dark or red, I was going to have to stop that on Day 1. I could buy a pack of sprite and drink it. Strawberry Ice Cream is the easiest to get but I'd have to stop it on day 2. Everything was planned out and I kept going over my limitations verbally so my wife and I would both understand the limits.

Day 1 I wake up. I have nothing to start the diet with because I had planned on this morning going to the store to purchase it. The main reason being things either needed refrigerated/frozen or was snack sized and I didn't want to accidentally eat them up too quick. My wife and I had gotten our Food Stamp Allotment of $150 three days before and had spent approximately $40 that day. In the intervening days, my wife apparently had gone to the store before I woke up to buy herself ice cream each day. So I ask her how much was left on the Food Stamps because I was considering going to a larger store and buying stuff for after the procedure as well. 

I sat stunned and shocked when my wife said with a straight face that we had about $30. I stared at her a moment honestly without words as my mind kind of locked up. Then I said that I had to go buy salad supplies and all the rest of the stuff for my operation. She looked at me and said "I forgot." 

This is something important. This is something to do with my health and it isn't something I can just blow off. My wife, who has heard me talking about this since it was first scheduled; who was with me at the doctors when they scheduled it; heard me talking about it for the last three weeks; was in the room with me for the week leading up to it where I kept going over with her what I could eat and my plans on when to start. She forgot that I needed a special diet. 

When I reminder her of why I needed it. She reiterated that she had forgotten but this time seemed upset. At that point she actually asked me to tell her what I could eat. This hurts to admit it but I was crushed emotionally at that point. I've been telling her for years that she acts as if I mean nothing. This has become such an issue that our relationship went from being on the brink of divorce to me accepting that we are just roommates. I cannot expect support from her anymore and she makes it obvious to everyone to where I have to defend her to others. But now it appears I matter so little to her that she not only ignored me all those days, but she actually seems to have forgotten I have a colonoscopy coming up. I'm speechless and trying not to break down at this point.

Apparently me not speaking angered her and she began to apologize in the tones she uses when she's trying to make me feel bad and saying that I should use cash to buy what I need. This is something of a sore spot for me and has been since before we got married. I have a hard time juggling bills and I can never get any money saved up. When I get money I make plans for it. Normally I only get to spend about half the cash I have on bills and other planned things such as breaks for the car or an inspection sticker (this time). What money I have used to disappear from my wallet until I opened it one day going to buy something only to see it empty. I don't want to use cash to buy food I had planned on and had the resources to get just a few days earlier. My psyche is already fragile and this sent me into a pretty deep depression so I've been sleeping a lot instead of dealing with hunger pangs.

At the end of Day 2, my mother asked what I had eaten and I had said "nothing". She asked me what I was going to eat and I said "nothing". She asked me what I was drinking and I said "water". She asked me what else and I said again, "nothing". She later asked me when was the last time I ate and I told her Thursday afternoon. This was Saturday night that she asked. She was appalled and said I couldn't do that because I'd get too weak. She grabbed a pack of my brother's protein shakes and offered them to me. My brother has cancer. He needs those shakes to try to keep his blood work healthy. His last blood work wasn't good. There is no way I am going to take anything from my brother needed for his cancer treatment. Apparently this made my wife angry.

So here I am, on the beginning of Day 3. I've had nothing to eat. I can't take some of my medicines without having something in my stomach so I'm dealing with not having some meds. I'm going through periods where my stomach is cramping fairly severely. I know 4 days of not eating won't kill me. This is something I can endure. The problem is I shouldn't have to endure it. 

Day 1 I searched through our food for something to eat and my wife just watched TV. I found nothing. Realizing that she wasn't going to help me look, I decided that I wasn't going to make an issue of food. This is just an extension of all the other issues we have in our relationship. I don't know what to do about it.We don't talk. Apparently when we do, she doesn't remember.

When my mother told me she'd be able to go into the surgical waiting room I was happy. I told my wife about it but this seemed to get her upset. She appeared hurt and wanted to know why I was telling her this. I got angry and reminded her that someone had to stay in there the whole time because if you leave and the doctor comes out he won't wait so I'll go without knowing what he found or what they are doing until I go to see him later for the full results. Since she smokes and can't go any length of time without a cigarette I reminded her that she wouldn't be able to be there for me. Now she began acting both hurt and angry at me even though she agrees that she was never going to be able to do that.

I don't know what to do. I have very specific instructions on what I have to do today and tomorrow. I can't do it as written. I'm going to show up at the surgical center and hope that what I've done is enough. 

On top of all of this is the deeper emotional issues I'm dealing with regarding my wife. She has periods where she'll say I'm the most important thing to her. There are times she talks about how she tries to think about me and do things for me. The problem is that what she says and what she does aren't remotely related. I don't have anyone to speak with. I can't talk to my family about my wife because I spend so much time defending her if they do say anything. I can't talk to my therapist because I'd have to explain things that would cause even bigger issues. Talking to my wife is the same as talking to the cats. The difference is the cats will come looking for affection and my wife never shows signs of listening. 

I hit rock bottom back in August of last year emotionally and mentally. That was the first time I had actually considered what would happen if I committed suicide. It took a few weeks but I was able to draw myself out of that thinking by reconciling what my relationship with my wife actually is. We live in the same house but are simply roommates. My wife has pulled away from me in all things now. I have become someone who simply pays her bills, drives her around, and provides her pills. About once a month she'll have a 2 day spree where she will talk about how important I am to her and how much she loves me. The rest of the time I might as well not exist. 

Listing the issues with our marriage would take a long time and it's not something I want to do. This episode with the colonoscopy just highlights the problems I am going to have when I have back surgery. I'm honestly rethinking the surgery now. I won't be able to take care of myself for a while and she's unable to care for me so there will be no after surgery care which is required. I'm lost. I believe I'll be able to keep going but each time something happens that reminds me how little I mean to her I crack a little further. At some point I will break

Artificial Intelligence Art and Ethics

 I have been working on artwork using various AI models for a couple months now. During this time I've been in several discussions with both laymen and other artists as to the ethics, growth, and potential for the industry. Each person I've spoken with I've tried to explain why AI isn't going to replace "real" artists. Below is something I stumbled upon from a thread discussing these very issues. There was one person trying to introduce AI Art to a community and most of the people responding were negative and some accused him of "stealing" other people's styles for his work. The following is the best response I've seen to date...

Hi. My name is David and I have been into AI for 7 months, first 3 with Disco Diffusion understanding the system, prompting, models, settings, schedule, etc. and nowadays using Stable Diffusion as a personal model trainer (sometimes private for IG AI artists). My currently job is professional material artist at Adobe and I’m ex concept artist (and more things) in the industry for 11-12 years but got interested in AI since May this year. I will answer and correct a lot of things said here thata were wrong.

First of all, it seems that some people still don’t know what is a diffusion or how AI works. I alreday saw Steven Zapata’s video where he told that AI replicates works. Utterly false, AI won’t replicate any input and no matter how much you train it to do it, actually it will mix the “style” of that inputs into the prompts you put for a guidance. So even you try to replicate same artworks the only thing that get similar is the style.

Let’s talk about the style. The style is something you build upon other works as inspiration, references, films, comics, books, etc. on a daily basis, that’s called a visual library and everyone have it’s own. Professional artist library usually is HUGE, AI’s VL is limited to the dataset which actually can be tweaked, changed and extended.

Before all of you start screaming it’s stealing, etc. No more steal than professional artist when inspiring in other works, other artists, films, netflix, comics, references, etc. They never (and me actually) paid copyrights for it. Same as when people do fan art, etc. Nothing is original, we work on a mix of things already created called “our own style” but the fact is that we neither invented anything new, we just put pieces in a unfinished puzzle.

The diffusion once again (“rendering”) its inspiring on the artist’s style or in the dataset but never will be using actual works in the final image, will be using the style AI thinks was used to create those.

About training. Training a model its easy, train a good model not so easy but never close at those prices in the first post IMO. A normal person can buy a 10$ subscription for 1000-2000 images generation in DreamStudio (Official Stable Diffusion site) or like me, can use VisionOfChaos or WebUI to run it locally which his or her own GPU card FOR FREE (paying electricity bill) OR use Google Colab also for free. I trained a model yesterday for 14 hours for a friend based on his works to 17.000 checkpoints, more or less.

It’s ok they’re lifetime but the images are SD 1.4 and can run for free even on Google Colab s on non paid accounts. Not worth IMO.

There are lately thousands of sites with ridiculous prices trying to jump in the AI art wave, my advice as artist and AI trainer, don’t go this way. You don’t need to pay a single $ and you don’t need (if you’re willing to pay) more than 20-30$ month to get a MidJourney account with better results (actually with V4) or just save to get a nice RTX 3000 series and use it locally on your PC.

That was a mic drop moment for that thread. I'll revisit AI later and discuss my use and the possibilities I see going forward.

Police have a Rapist mentality

Police training has a major flaw which makes not only the citizens less safe, but almost guarantees Civil Rights violations by today’s police force. After watching hours of police body cams and bystander video, there are certain training techniques that seem to be universal across all departments. These tactics encourage police officers to both use force and punish those who do not comply. In short, training instills the mentality of a rapist upon our police. 

 I do not say that lightly. In fact, I would not have organically come to that conclusion if I hadn’t spoken with and seen videos of women discussing their encounters with the police. There are many phrases they teach police in training that are also common phrases women who endure rape often hear. Below are just some of many phrases people hear that could come from either police or a rapist.

• If you did what I asked, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt.
• Comply and you won’t get hurt.
• You brought this on yourself. Why didn’t you just do what I told you?
• Either you do what I say or we are going to have to do it the hard way.
• Now why did you have to make it so hard on yourself?
• All you are doing is making it worse for yourself.
• If you’d just do what I asked from the start, we wouldn’t have had to go this route.
• When I tell you to do something, comply or else!
• It’s going to only go one of two ways and neither is going to be good for you.
• Just do what I say and nothing will happen to you.
• All you had to do was comply.
• Why couldn’t you just comply with me?

Many police today see themselves existing in opposition to non-police officers. Regular citizens are dehumanized as “subjects” and therefore they can be treated however the officer wants without guilt or remorse. Police regularly use intimidation and the threat of force to force citizens into compliance. When a citizen does not comply with their demands, they punish the citizen. Unfortunately for the citizenry, police have almost unbridled power to employ unlawful action or force without actual fear of consequences. Even when they cannot take direct action, they often find illegal or unethical ways of striking out at the individual to reassert their dominance.

Because of horrible training and willful ignorance, they have trained police to bully and intimidate “subjects” into compliance. When their primary tactics don’t work, police often find creative ways of retribution. Often, police will act upon their impulses and violate basic Civil Liberties and sometimes state or federal laws to take out their frustration immediately. The culture of the Blue Line creates a division where police feel they are above those they should be protecting.

Where there is no fear of consequences, individuals will commit atrocities they would not consider while in a rational discussion. This is what we see in modern policing. Human nature has provided us with a predatory instinct that is misused by many police officers. When dealing with women, often officers will use their physical size and demeanor to force their will upon the “subject”. The predator drive floods the officer’s brain with chemicals that provide a type of high and gives them positive reinforcement for their actions. They can get addicted to this high and misuse their authority to reach this high in situations where force or intimidation isn’t warranted. When these officers become frustrated in their attempt to get high, they act as any addict would and lash out at those they see as responsible for denying them their pleasure. This happens more with women than men and is probably the reason the statistics on spousal abuse amongst police are so high. 

Modern police training does not provide officers with the knowledge it takes to uphold the laws and protect the Civil Liberties of citizens. Instead, police are trained that “officer safety” is the primary concern. Often, departments will have policies that instruct officers to ignore the plight of citizens if it would put them in harm’s way. 

Simply look at the high-profile debacle of Parkland Florida. The on campus police officer did not move to intervene when the shooter opened fire. Instead, he hid in a stairwell and waited until officers from multiple jurisdictions arrived as backup before leaving the safety of the brick walls. Even though the shooting was over, he would not leave until they assured him of his safety. It wasn’t long after that when the police department revealed that he was simply following their policy and they did not have a duty to protect anyone. This sobering situation made many people realize that police no longer fill the role the citizens created for them.

With abuses of power and violation of Civil Liberties, police are often unable and unwilling to accept any fault in a fellow officer’s actions. In almost every case where someone sues that doesn’t get dismissed, police will settle without admitting fault and often also promote the offender. Police will often destroy or hide evidence of wrongdoing by a fellow officer. There are many instances of police fabricating police reports contradicted by video evidence. Many instances of police being caught planting evidence or doing retaliatory arrests result in the offending police officer going unpunished because of the brotherhood mentality all police are now taught. In Los Angeles, this has even led to a Federal court recognizing the existence of criminal gangs working within the police department.

In the mid-1990s, I had the occasion to train with police officers. There was a certain amount of ego and pride that came with the badge, but most of the police I trained with appeared to have the motivation of helping people. After September 11, 2001, all of that changed. They taught the police to treat everything with suspicion. Terry v. Ohio became the basis for “officer safety” being a mantra that allowed anything. This was a perfect storm brought on by Qualified Immunity and a “See Something Say Something” culture. They gave police more leeway in how they policed a community, and most departments took the pathway of becoming overlords and not servants or custodians. 

Someone could do a simple search on the Internet and find multiple stories of police corruption taking down an entire department. Videos on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram often show abuses we like to think would not have happened 30 years ago. Nearly everybody today has a phone with a camera that can take pictures or record a video. People who are in the wrong place at the right time have circumvented the resistance some departments have displayed to getting body cameras.

Police Reform

 People have been talking about the need for police reform for many years now. Over the last five years, I've been watching videos and reading news articles about the police nationwide. The problems we are having aren't new, but are instead amplified by the fact that nearly everyone has a smartphone to capture police corruption and violence. 

There are a few trends that have shown themselves over the years. There are some obvious issues that should be addressed by the various legislatures across the country. While activity at the federal level is preferred, some things can be done at the state levels. One thing people also ignore is that they can take action with their local police through activism and voting to remove those who support an abusive or ignorant police department.

Municipalities can also simply not carry insurance for their police officers. Police can, and should, be required to carry their own occupational insurance just as doctors and other professionals are required. This would create an insurance database of payouts made due to police mistakes or misconduct. Insurance companies would eventually price a police officer out of work if they continue to be problematic officers. Police officers with problematic histories would also increase liability insurance costs for municipalities as their high risk of vicarious liability driving premiums to unsustainable levels. 

If a State doesn't have a "Brady List" of police officers, individual judicial districts should create their own. Prosecutors, and "internal affairs", should place officers on this list who have been shown to make fraudulent reports or commit perjury. For transparency sake, this list should be accessible from the clerk's office. Defendants and concerned citizens should know which officers responsible for maintaining law and order are untrustworthy or dangerous. With this mechanism in place, a level of accountability would be reached where accused officer's actions will be known to any defendants they charge.

States Attorneys should stop defending and indemnifying police officers who get sued for civil rights violations. Police officers should have to pay for their own defense as well as pay any portion of the penalties assigned to them by the courts. It is a rare instance where the State determines not to shield an officer from their bad actions. If police officers know that malfeasance will cause them to be held financially liable, bad actors will slowly disappear as the consequences of their actions weed them out of the police forces. Police who make simple mistakes should be defended and supported by their employers, but those who act with malice or negligence should bear the consequences of their actions.

DID

 Dissociative Identity Disorder

I have suspected that I've had DID for years. My wife has seen the "Alter" and is afraid of him. This is something I've been aware of for years in speaking with others. Since my late teens, I've had freinds talk about me "changing" and how violent I can get during that time. Even my family have commented about how "shit gets real" when I "hit a certain level". 

This actually coresponds roughly to my memory gaps. Chunks of my memory are not accessable except as flashes of images or feelings when I can recall them at all. This has allowed me to fake remembering things sometimes when others bring things up. One example, I have only a flash of a memory about an incident in Ann's bedroom. Only a single image exists in my mind of that night. Shortly after that, Elizabeth spoke with me about that night and what happened. I didn't really remember it. Since then, my wife, Ann's sister, has told me about walking into the room that night and what she saw. It seems her walking in froze an image in my mind that is accessable of Ann undressing and removing her bra. Lee remembers that since apparently she walked in at that moment.

Looking back, I believe these gaps occured when I was overcome with strong emotions or in very stressful situations. Friends have talked about how I was a different person at times. The personna I project to the world appears to be someone who frightens others. I have found cuts, burns, and abrasions I am unable to account for after these "grey zones". I can only remember being in a couple of fights in my life but appearently I got a reputation for hurting people in fights that I still can't remember. 

After my mental break, I have found that those "grey zones" appeared quite frequently. Over time, they have become less frequent but still occur. I have told my therapists that I have discovered a new type of panic attack, anger based. Upon reflection, when these angry "panic attacks" hit me I have one of my grey zones where a hole appears in my memory. 

Oddly, sometimes these memory holes backfill themselves. This is rare but does happen. The memory flashes will expand until I gain what appears to be a full recolection of the events. I'm not sure these memories are complete. Incidents involving my brother, of which I have several grey areas, are complex because he recolects things that go counter to my memories, no matter if they are regular or recovered. This makes me wonder if my memory isn't fracturing and mixing parts together. 

Now that I think of something I feel I must put it down. From the time I was about 14 I used to cut myself. I did this for several years. Since my parents didn't pay a lot of attention to me, I was able to cut myself in the arms and thighs without being discovered. I quit cutting at about the same time as the memory issues began. The cutting was a coping mechanism. I took a photo of my cutting tools one day covered in blood. I hid the photos in the back of a photo book behind some other pictures. One day at school some people were looking at the book and discovered the photos. I tried to get the photos back but they were quickly spread around. I told the truth and said that was blood on them. I was ridiculed for that and was laughed at. I have to admit I have no memory of getting the photos back or what happened after they discovered them. Perhaps that was my first grey zone.

I've done some reading and believe that I may be aflicted with what people call a "Avenger Alter". This would be one who manifests my anger and rage. While this doesn't explain why my memories of some situations (mainly involving sexual activity), it does explain the fear I have provoked in others as well as the damage I've been told I have done. I would have called it a "Protector" at one point but I believe it only comes out due to rage or stress making it something else.

From what I've gathered speaking with people who have encountered this other me, it has all my memories and knowledge. This scares me honestly because I even regain memories from the grey zones. I have come to the realization that the other me isn't a nice person. I have concerns that one day this other me will cause harm that I do not want. Not harm to me. Harm to others around me.

As to why I have no memory (or just flashes) of certain sexual encounters when I was younger is another question. I find it hard to believe that was my rage. What else lives inside of me? Did that part of me disappear? There are a lot of questions there.

Conversations with a lifelong Democrat (reformed)

Over the weekend I had the chance to spend time speaking with someone who was not only a lifelong Democrat but an active officer within the DNC for decades. We discussed the "glory days" of the modern Democrat Party, her time spent working for the Bill Clinton Campaigns and visits to DC. She has a wonderful picture of herself with Bill in 1988 when he was drumming up support for his Presidential Campaign. The stories about the inaugurations are well worth hearing. While being quite open, she even told me of people within her own party who urged her to "come out" about having an affair with Clinton. The affair never happened but apparently some people within the party wanted her to come forward in response to Juanita Broaddrick. We could only speculate that they wanted her to make the claim so she could be shot down, thus providing cover against the women who he had assaulted.

We both also discussed the fact that Bill Clinton was the most charismatic President in modern history. A fact that one must realize as shocking when you consider his wife never learned any of his tactics. This 30+ year veteran of the DNC (she still is a member but stepped down as an officer) lowered her voice and confessed to me that 2016 was the first time in her life she voted for a Republican. The act of turning away from the Democrat Party seemed both shocking and liberating to her.

She discussed what the Democrat Party stood for and tried to accomplish during her time. Her dissatisfaction with the DNC and the Party as a whole began with a new generation of members and officers calling themselves "progressive". These people were no longer content with being Liberal, they wanted to change the very definition of what it was to be a liberal and move the party further towards their specific, progressive goals. It seems to me what she was describing was a war within the DNC for control of the party between Liberals and Progressives. According to her, the Progressives won the battle have been systematically purging liberals from the party.

Like me, she confessed that her political views haven't changed much over the years. The problem is that the Democrat Party has surged so far to the left that it is leaving the majority of it's members (as well as the majority of Americans) turned out into the cold. These Progressives, now calling themselves Liberals, are intent on bending the nation to their will. They punish those within the party who try to retain the old ideals of Liberalism and cast out anyone who doesn't fit their Machiavellian attempts to reshape the party. In practice, this means calling those who hold to true Liberal ideas Fascists and Nazis in order to brainwash the masses into rethinking the very meaning of the word Liberal.

As an example, she pointed out her first contact with Terry Mcauliffe, former Virginia Governor. She confided to me that she had recently received a 2020 DNC presidential "survey" which suggested Mcauliffe would be the best choice to win the White House. When she first met him, he was working on organizing the first presidential campaign for Bill Clinton. Apparently, he was a good friend of the Clintons and even was later a campaign chair for Bill's re-election. In her first meeting though she revealed his desire to leverage Bill Clinton into the presidency and then bring sweeping changes to both the DNC and the country as a whole. She hinted that she thought he was an unethical man who felt politicians should be given the treatment and deference of royalty with himself as a kingmaker. According to her, in 1996 he boasted that Bill was going to make sure he (Mcauliffe) was rewarded by making him the next leader of the DNC. Turns out he wasn't the next but he did become DNC chair after some questionable financial deals with the Clintons.

These are the types of people now in charge of the DNC. People who feel money can solve any problem and politicians can't be held to the same laws as the rest of America. What is worse, these "new liberals" are adept at convincing the masses that definitions to words are fluid. They use Psychopolitics (brainwashing techniques) and the writings of former despots such as Hitler, Stalin, and Machiavelli for ways to control the population. According to this previous officer in the DNC, the new leadership openly embraces the old policies of supremacy and control that drove the DNC in the 1800s. Hiding behind the Liberal brand, these "Progressives" are in fact regressing the party to an earlier time in order to drive a caste system in our country.

After three hours of discussing this phenomenon with a lifetime Democrat. I understand why she felt she had to vote against the Democrat candidate in 2016. Between 1998 and 2006 the Democratic leadership underwent a shift resulting in a purge of the ideology of the membership. What replaced the direction of the party was a shift based on Psychopolitics that relies on shaping the perceptions of minorities and the youth to become blindly loyal party sycophants. This made me think of Barbara Walters quote about Barak Obama: "We felt he was our messiah". It also reminded me of a man I knew on Facebook (First name Richard) who said: "Hillary Clinton can't be held to the same laws as other Americans. She's different, politicians aren't like us normal people."

When seen from these viewpoints, the 2016 election was a choice between the caste system promoted by the DNC (with many Republicans) and the rule of law, meaning one law for all. As time goes by we see the corruption in DC revealed as frighteningly deep within the very organizations which were supposed to protect Americans against a betrayal of the Constitutional principal of law. Nearly each week we hear new stories about another level of depth in the dysfunction and corruption that has gripped our country. We are in need of a savior. Someone who will purge the corruption in the bureaucracy so that our institutions can punish those who violate the laws of the nation in a uniform manner. If this means Congressmen, Senators, and even Presidents (or ex) must face prison time then that is what we need to return this country to the people.

The Problem with Impeachment

Since November 2016 liberals and the media have been pushing a fantasy scenario where Donald Trump gets impeached. Their reasons don't matter, they have promised to impeach him no matter the cost or reason. Maxine Waters and other Democrats have suggested that impeachment isn't enough. Comedians and college professors have suggested Trump be assassinated, to the cheers of liberals across the country. All of this talk fires up the crazy progressives and fascist liberals and have ended up with massive displays of violence including riots and mass shootings.

What liberals and the enemies of Trump do not understand is that the battle is over. They think their opponent is Donald Trump but he is just the current champion of the "average American". The real winner of the 2016 election was the oft-forgotten citizen who was told they were irredeemable. Now we have moved onto the next battle for the soul of America.

Democrats and social justice warriors told middle-America that they should be ashamed of being successful. They should be ashamed of not being successful. They should be ashamed if they didn't "identify" as something other than cis-gender. Whites were told to be ashamed of their race. Blacks were told they should be violent against others and it was expected. Non-Americans were told they were more important than American citizens. Politicians, social justice warriors, and even the media have waged a decade's long war against the great oppressors, working class men and women.

Now a new war is being fought. Not the battle for who will win the support of the people, that fight is over. The war now is the elitists and social justice warriors trying to tell the rest of America that their choice is invalid. The fight now is to bring down Trump at all costs and invalidate the will of the people who elected him in favor of the elites in power.

Since the election was decided, Democrats and their allies have pushed the narrative that Trump didn't really win and even the election itself was invalid. News media even did interviews where people claimed that without a win in California, Trump's victory was meaningless. The fact that Clinton won California by such a huge margin has been used to justify claiming that she, and not Trump won the general election. This talk, while amusing, has translated into action.

We have seen security leaks of classified and confidential information out of the White House directed against President Trump since before he was even sworn in. Former Obama staffers have even said they urged others to leak the information. There has been a concerted effort to bring Donald Trump down even if it means breaking laws and hurting the country.  Even the director of the FBI admitted under oath that he leaked a memo about a confidential meeting with Donald Trump in an effort to force the appointment of his mentor as a special counsel, a successful tactic.

Now I'd like to get into the reason why these tactics are particularly dangerous to our country. Mike Huckabee once said that Trump was middle-America's final peaceful attempt at a revolution. By that, I believe he meant the corruption and dishonesty within our government had gotten so bad that the working class is ready to revolt in order to bring change. This means that if Donald Trump is stopped from making the attempt to change things by the existing power structure, his supporters may decide that they need to exert force to bring about reforms to "drain the swamp".

Take for instance the numerous polls which show that while people are generally dissatisfied with the job Trump has done, his still retains the support of those who elected him. Media elites and liberals point to this as proof of their "deplorable", uneducated, and ignorant state. The truth is that they still support him because he is attempting to follow through on his promises.

Compared to the crimes of Hillary Clinton, everything Trump has been accused of doesn't even rise to the level of "concerning". Clinton was given a free pass by the media and the Washington power structure for her many crimes against the nation. Barak Obama killed American citizens without due process based on a court case the Supreme Court later struck down and the elites never held him accountable for those murders, again a far cry from the worst that Trump has been accused. The Washington elites have set the bar so high on outrage that their attacks on Trump only shows their hypocrisy and further angers those who voted Trump into power. Should they use their positions to remove Trump, they would be telling the people of America that nothing short of violence will challenge the corruption and ineptitude in Washington.

While cries for equal justice are going unheeded, a recent poll shows support for an independent counsel to investigate Clinton has reached 75% support from Americans. Yet the establishment continues to excuse and cover up for her. A close deputy of Clinton, Wasserman-Shultz recently took a page from Clinton's book involving her own legal controversy and blamed a "right-wing conspiracy" against her. All of this is seen as normal and perfectly acceptable to the media and the sycophants who uphold the status quo. America was founded on the principles of Equal Justice, something denied today.

Until those in power are held to the same legal standards as the rest of America, a power vacuum will exist that endangers the health and stability of our nation. The symptoms of this disease is the corruption and dysfunction we see in Washington. While the solutions are legion, the simple first step that is embodied in Trump are important to the American people. By trying to remove this hope for a better and functional nation, the elites run the danger of triggering a "French Revolution" style uprising.

While extremists exist on both sides of the political aisle, it is those allied with the Democrats who have been violent over the last few years. America has sat back and watched the slide of the Democratic Party into classic Fascism much to the acclaim and urging of the media, liberal professors, and politicians. The very definition of Fascism is attacked and changed instead of recognizing what has happened. With the rise of Fascism in this country, those who oppose them are demonized, marginalized, and patronized. These targeted individuals also happen to be those who support Trump.

The backlash has been building against the Fascist actions of the fringe as well as the dysfunction and corruption in Washington. While violence by the fringe has been encouraged and laws set aside to appease a minority, the majority of Americans have been quietly seething, their rage building. The Impeachment of Trump while letting those opposed to him disregard the law would be a clarion bell to those in the heartland that the system is truly broken. All that is left is either surrender or rebellion. Given the anger observed over the last several years at the atrocities committed by the elite, an explosive rebellion seems the likely outcome.
