I am guilty, like many of my fellow conservatives, of complaining about everything that has gone wrong since COVID.  That includes massive inflation, the loss of small businesses because of a messed up COVID response; supply chain problems; gas prices; the border sieve; the swallowing up of the mainstream media by Great Resetters and MASA Democrats (Make America S— Again); the Afghanistan defeat and weaponry giveaway; the billions and trillions spent on Ukraine; the paying of people not to work; the Luciferian malignancy of CRT, DEI, and ESG infecting our institutions, schools, and businesses; and the litany of other complaints MAGA Americans get so justifiably indignant about.

But what can the average American do to actually take down this behemoth of leftism that is strangling liberty, free speech, and prosperity?  It may take a while, but it is doable with small things to start with.

First, cut off the blood supply to all businesses and groups that hire any DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) personnel.  Stop paying them, and stop using their services.  You do have choices.  These vengeful, hateful people have managed to convince producers of goods and services that they must right the wrongs of slavery in their business and private endeavors.  This is wrong and wrong-headed.  No U.S. person alive today owned slaves, nor did his parents.  Would you hold your grandchild responsible for killing millions of Jews and Christians during the Holocaust?  Nor should the living be responsible to pay for the sins of the dead.  Say no to any business that thinks you should.

In some cases, this will cost you more money or may delay your deliveries a week or so.  So what?

America is not systemically racist.  The left uses racism as its cudgel, assuming we will back down and kiss their derrieres.  The epithet “racist” long ago lost its effect, yet some white people still melt like snowflakes under its utterance.  Refuse to accept racism no matter what color is doing it.

Second, write emails and letters and make phone calls demanding to know how your representative plans to vote on a given issue.  If it’s not how you want them to vote, tell them so.  Strongly.  Many people say this is a useless tactic, but I disagree.  Do it often enough, and it will get through, but it takes persistence.  You never know just when it will be your email or phone call that does what you want.  Your reps may ignore a few dozen complaints, but yours may be the proverbial straw/camel situation.

Never think, “My one complaint won’t matter.”  It does matter, because it may be your “one” that is one too many to ignore.  In the same way, if your rep is sending you emails that say, “Contact me” or “What do you think?” on a given issue, do not hesitate to do it.  Again, yours may be the decisive “one.”

Third, attend school board meetings and political strategizing groups where possible.  Give your input.  Don’t think, “I hate public speaking.”  It may be your public speaking that puts an agenda over the top to clean up CRT or drag queen perversity in your schools.

Fourth, vote and be certain your friends vote.  There are too many destructive rumblings from Republicans who say they won’t vote because “nothing ever gets done.”  If you don’t vote, more nothing will get done.  Not voting puts another Machiavellian Democrat in office.  Just as your one email may be the one that matters, your one vote may be the one that tips an election in your favor.  Not to vote is selfish; other conservatives may suffer from your refusal to vote.  At this time in our history, with evil everywhere and few heroes stepping up, be the hero.

Fifth, don’t be afraid to hurt someone’s feelings or to get aggressive in the cause of making yourself heard.  Democrats have for too long cornered the market on aggressiveness, never expecting Republicans to fight back.  And we didn’t because we’re too nice.  No more.  The survival of liberty and free speech is on the line, and we can turn that paradigm of systemic meekness on its head.
