Episode 36 Hour of Decision: Platforms and Purity

In this episode Lew unsuccessfully avoids ranting at those who are fixated on the party platform and 100% ideological purity, or narrow interest group priorities. The focus needs to be on TAKING POWER. As Lew discussed in his episodes on the political parties, we need to look at party affiliation, individual issues, and candidates as weapons in the ongoing struggle we face, not as evidence of our personal purity.At the behest of Donald Trump, GOP Platform committee members changed some wording in two sensitive areas, on marriage and abortion. Trump is evidently seeking to make the GOP more attractive to low information swing voters and those who are with us on immediate critical issues like the border, energy, and DEI, but may not be with us on marriage and abortion. Whether he is right about this or not, it is no reason to pause, reassess, or hesitate in any way in doing everything possible to get him elected.Trump is far from perfect and will not solve all of our problems. It’s midnight in America. Trump has shown he is willing to stand up (and be effective) on critical issues, regardless of the consequences. The Establishment has displayed growing desperation in their efforts to keep him out of the White House. WE NEED TO FOCUS. We must get Trump back into office as we continue to fight other battles.We need to support our fellow citizens who have been willing to stand against our dangerous enemies at great personal cost, whether we agree with them on every issue or not. This includes Steven Bannon, Donald Trump, and the many patriots around the country, and maybe in your community or your state, who have been fighting for all of us.This is the hour of decision. If you always told yourself you would be willing to fight for your nation, THIS IS THE TIME.
