Can You Handle the Truth? — Why Politicians Must Lie.
Everything you are about to read explains 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀’ 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲.
Not because of compassion.
But because 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 —
and once that happens, 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.
I’m going to share something with you that 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀, but very few are willing to say out loud — because the truth is uncomfortable.
That’s why I begin each day with this simple prayer:
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
If you ask for that serenity 𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵, you must also be willing to 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 when it’s given — even when you don’t like it.
I don’t like it. But I accept it.
And once you accept it, one thing becomes impossible to ignore.
And that division is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆.
It isn’t really about politics.
𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻.
The real divide is 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹.
And before we go any further, we need to be honest about something — because much of the confusion comes from the language itself.
We are not all using the word Democrat to mean the same thing.
For many Americans, the term still carries nostalgia — a memory of what Democrats used to be, or what they believe the party once stood for.
But if we are going to be honest with ourselves,
𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.
This is no longer the party that says,
“Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
If we are going to use the term Democrat, we must define it by 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿, not past identity.
Without that honesty, a constitutional republic cannot survive.
Today’s Democrat leadership has:
▪️Violated the U.S. Constitution through sanctuary cities that openly defy federal law
▪️Encouraged mob rule while selectively enforcing the law
▪️Publicly and aggressively attacked a sitting administration instead of governing
▪️Refused bipartisan policy work in favor of constant conflict
▪️Declared this a “war” and then acted accordingly
This is not disagreement.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿.
And if they succeed. 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁.
Once they’ve taken power, they won’t magically revert to old-school Democrat values. 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
And the country we live in will be a very different place entirely.
Under their leadership, we would be no different than China, Russia, or Germany in World War II.
And if you take a moment to actually look up the definition of fascism… you’ll see who it describes 100%.
And here’s a hint — 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽.
They’ve been saying it openly for years:
Most people dismissed it as rhetoric.
As exaggeration. As just another attack on Trump.
In 2015, then–Vice President Joe Biden made a statement at a White House summit that most people ignored at the time:
“There’s an unrelenting stream of immigration — nonstop, nonstop. Folks like me who are Caucasian of European descent, for the first time in 2017, we’ll be in an absolute minority in the United States of America… That’s not a bad thing. That’s a source of our strength.”
On its own, that wasn’t proof of intent.
At the time, Democrats fully expected Hillary Clinton to win by a landslide. When she lost, Donald Trump was labeled an illegitimate president, and four years of lawfare, manufactured scandals, and the Russia collusion hoax followed.
During Trump’s first term, the fight wasn’t about mass deportations — because millions hadn’t been allowed in yet. The battle was about closing the border so they couldn’t get in at all.
Many of us asked a simple question:
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻?
Especially when earlier speeches from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton clearly argued for border enforcement and deportation.
A change of heart didn’t make sense.
So what changed? The strategy.
Joe Biden answered that question on day one of his presidency.
With crises unfolding at home and abroad, his first major actions were reversing Trump’s Stay in Mexico policy and pausing deportations.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻.
Illegal aliens were treated as victims.
Americans were treated as the problem.
MAGA was labeled a threat to democracy.
Borders were thrown open.
Good became bad. Bad became good.
Millions crossed unvetted, were transported across the country, housed in expensive hotels — while homeless Americans were ignored.
Criminals were elevated to martyrs.
𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗖𝗘.
If protecting Americans isn’t the goal…
Donald Trump won by roughly two million votes.
Now consider this: Democrats openly discuss granting citizenship to 𝟭𝟬–𝟭𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀.
That isn’t immigration policy.
Once citizenship is granted, elections are over.
Republicans don’t lose once. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿.
If you’ve followed along — and you understand the patterns — then what’s happening right now should make perfect sense.
You can understand what’s happening in Minnesota.
You can understand the shutdown.
And you can understand why stopping ICE has suddenly become urgent.
𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽’𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁.
And that is why 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.
When elections are no longer competitive, debate becomes meaningless. Policy becomes permanent.
And power no longer changes hands.
At that point, the Constitution isn’t ripped apart in one dramatic act. It’s simply worked around, ignored, and slowly rendered irrelevant.
That is how republics actually fall.
Not with tanks in the streets.
But with laws selectively enforced.
With courts pressured. With speech controlled.
With opposition labeled dangerous.
And once that shift happens, there is no reset button.
Collapsed republics don’t “bounce back.”
They are replaced by something else — something far more centralized, far less accountable.
That is why the division we are experiencing is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆.
Only one side will determine what the United States becomes from here.
And if the current Democrat leadership succeeds — not the nostalgic idea of what Democrats once were, but the people and behaviors currently in power — then 𝟮𝟱𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀.
Not pauses. Not bends. 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝘀.
That is not fear. That is history.
So the real question is not whether you like this truth.
The question is whether you are willing to 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘁.
Because pretending this is just another election, or just another political cycle, is no longer honest.
Most people don’t want truth. They want comfort.
So I’ll ask you plainly: 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵?
And if you can — it’s up to us to share it.
