You can tell how they are losing by their desperate rearguard holding actions against us, where they are digging in at the last barricade, trying to leverage default respect, assuming they can evoke a dead memory of when we once cared about dead principles and corrupted institutions to keep us under control. But we're not interested in being kept under control. This isn't working anymore. See, many of us have cracked the code. We don't have to pretend to care anymore. We don't have to pretend about anything anymore, especially that there's nothing wrong, that our society is exactly as it was 20 or 30 years ago. Institutions we once respected, norms we observed, they've changed. They're gone. We don't have to do that anymore. Our strength comes from not only accepting that this is a different country than it once was but having the strength to deal with it within the context of that new reality.

What am I talking about? Well, you see examples of them trying to use old norms to constrain us all the time. It's most common when they attempt to turn our own principles against us – remember, anybody who talks to you about principles, and how you need to do something the leftists want because of those principles, is trying to screw you over. Take my friend Jesse Kelly as an example. He wasn't defaulting to respecting people who deserve no respect, and he had to be stopped. Governor Gavin Hairstyle's crew of social media dorks took offense when he refused to express reverence for the garbage Winter Olympic athletes who decided to dance for the pleasure of foreigners by trashing their country, like a little monkey dances for peanuts. Jesse wasn't going to support them or their event, so Team Brylcreem tweeted: "Wow. MAGA admits it is rooting AGAINST Team USA because athletes are using their first amendment rights!"

See the flex? "Why aren't you being patriotic, Jesse? We thought you conservatives liked patriotism." But, of course, it's all baloney – Democrats are to patriotism as herpes is to Valentine's Day. Moreover, it's historically........
