It’s difficult to describe historical moments as they’re unfolding, but let me hazard a few initial observations about former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night.
Watching a presidential candidate (and former president) describe his near-assassination less than a week after a bullet came within millimeters of ending his life is quite simply the most captivating, awe-inspiring thing that has ever happened at a political convention in this country.

Yeah, it is bigger. A lot bigger and higher than us. And thanks to "The Chart", President Trump humbled us greatly last night.

The Demonrats took God out of their convention 4 years ago and all hell has broken out in our Country (and the world).
President Trump has placed Almighty God on the top of his agenda, may God help our Country, and continue to protect him.

I was moved by Trump's personal story of the assassination and his eventual appeal to "divine providence." Even for atheists, there exist deep subconscious archetypes of forces beyond our power that determine our fate. Trump's response to being shot showed a quality of his character that the Greeks called "amor fati" or love of fate. This is the hallmark of a noble person in the ancient world. What was displayed at the RNC convention was a man of nobility who transcends the comforts of wealth and embraces struggle in life for its own sake. Compared to his sickly and weak political rival, he exhibited health, strength, fertility, and a will to power. This vision resonates well with Hispanic and conservative black communities that prefer a natural order of gender relationships. The old order will attack him for these very virtues, which they assert smack of "exceptionalism" and "Christian Nationalism." They are romantics in the sense of Rousseau and Jefferson. Secretly, they wish Trump was one of them.

#5 I'm thinking thatthat DNC was more than 4 years ago but it doesn't matter. I had never watched a day of a DNC in my long life and I happened to be watching that day when they were doing the voting to remove God from their platform. I remember it well.

I agree. It's not just him, it's a movement.

I was talking with 2 of my children a couple days ago, and I told them that I felt like things are, ever so slowly, starting to change. I think people are tired of being micro-managed by the government, tired of not being able to have honest and open discourse with others whether they ever reach agreement or not, tired of not being able to just live and enjoy their lives, tired of being told they are evil or bigoted because they don't agree with certain ideas, etc. People want to live and be left alone by the freaking government. People want to live free. Period, end.

The "something bigger" includes the death of the democrat party, which has been actively working to destroy this country. Puppet Biden no longer matters, the people behind the curtain have been fingered and will be permanently put out of action. Both Donald Trump and American Patriots have a "take no prisoners" attitude and I like it.

I hope at least some of the Dems are smart enough to realize that God just picked a side.
