The choice before Americans on November 5th is the dispositive question for the future of America. It is no ordinary election day; it is an epoch. On that day, Americans will determine their fate and that of their children and grandchildren. Historically, it is the equal to July 4, 1776, September 17, 1787, April 12, 1861, or November 4, 1980. This election will determine whether America remains a constitutional republic in accord with its founding political principles or becomes a one-party state on the road to totalitarianism.
Electing Vice President Kamala Harris will ensure a radical future for the United States and usher in a reign of terror, one that is divorced from America’s political ideology and history. Furthermore, a Harris administration will rob Americans of what is their rightful political system and inheritance or as our founders rightly called our “inalienable rights.” Such an outcome would assure America’s descent into a dark future where the jackboot of the state would permanently replace freedom and liberty. Harris and the ideology she represents are symptomatic of the tyrannical spirit within the Democrat Party.
America was not theirs to change, but in their revolutionary zeal and hubris, they did it anyway. American presidential elections, once a day of patriotism when Americans would go to the ballot box to make their choice and know the result that night, have been upended and weaponized by the Democrat Party. The Democrats have made elections a form of a dreadful cold civil war where opacity, fraud, cheating, lawlessness, and the threats of riots and social unrest ensure that the day has become a torturous marathon where the majority of Americans do not trust the process.
The true nature of the Harris agenda has been revealed in the aftermath of President Trump’s positive and inclusive rally at Madison Square Garden. Whereas Trump has demonstrably expanded the GOP’s “tent” with former Democrat stalwarts like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard or even independent-minded libertarians such as Elon Musk, the Harris message has been one of demonization. Harris’s real nature was revealed with her accusations that Donald Trump is a fascist who admires Hitler. This tactic is not new to the world. For example, during the Cultural Revolution, Mao’s Red Guard labeled their opposition in the same way before they seized their opponents, beat them, and even murdered them in fits of rage.
The reign of terror unleashed by Mao’s Red Guard is on the verge of happening again if Kamala Harris is elected. However, the good news is that Americans are still free to exercise their right of self-expression through the franchise. Already, scores of millions of Americans have gone to the polls to vote for the optimism of a Trump administration. The 5th of November is your last chance to make your voice known.
Americans are on the cusp of being robbed of their birthright: their country—America. If Americans lose this freedom, then the cost will be borne by the American people and their allies around the world. Worse still, the many totalitarians around the globe—in Beijing, Pyongyang, Tehran, Moscow, and elsewhere—will be unleashed. The world, as many Americans know it, will be very different and likely will be so forever. America has been the barrier to the Communist totalitarian agenda to “fundamentally change” the world order. Given America’s history, never in the totalitarians’ wildest dreams did they believe America might join their company.
Ultimately, the election falls to the American voter. It is up to every American of voting age to make their decision regarding the future direction of this nation. Regardless of their political ideology, it is still incumbent upon all American voters to exercise their franchise. Now is the time for their preference to be shown so that the election can be decided by the majority of American people—not left to a coup or cabal to appoint a hand-picked sycophant whose decisions for the future of the nation are made in secret.
Americans have hope as President Trump offers the possibility of sustaining the principles and values of the United States. President Trump provides the chance to repair the grievous damage that has been done to it and where the fearful opportunity costs of the Obama-Biden-Harris regimes may be addressed by a Trump administration that is determined to erase these colossal failures. Urgently needed are repairs to immigration policy, the economy, inflation, debt, appeasement to the Chinese Communist Party, and the necessary return to transparency in elections and election day rather than election season. Mail-in voting would be reduced to exceptional circumstances, and dominion machines would be consigned to counting ballots in hell.
Most importantly, President Trump loves Americans and America. That was evinced in his first term and magnified in the 2024 campaign when the attempted assassin’s bullets failed to deter his ardor for the nation.
This November 5th is the most consequential day of a lifetime for every American. The future of America will be resolved. It will answer whether Americans will live in a single-party state that has abandoned its heritage, political history, culture, and traditions, or will embrace a path that returns America to its exceptionalism and greatness. American voters must act with seriousness as they never have before. Everything is on their shoulders. Their agency is now needed to stop the march of tyranny within the United States and ensure that the 2024 election restores the birthright of Americans and returns the United States to its rightful path of individual freedom, liberty, and the rule of law. In Lincoln’s 1862 Annual Message to Congress, he stated that the Civil War would determine whether “we shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.” Today Americans face this decisive issue and once again must come forward to rescue this great country.
