Long before your return to the presidency was ascendant, long before the betting markets were in your favor, there was one impediment that stood in your way. We all knew that J6 was a set-up. But we couldn't prove it to the liking of the establishment and donor class that was terrified to support you because of the public perception that you were an "insurrectionist." Tucker Carlson put his career on the line - and lost it - to take the J6 Tapes to prime time, against the wishes of the Fox News executives who put his head on a platter for it. Alex Jones was one of the first voices to support you, back when the rest of us thought it was another one of his insane hot takes. But like so many of Alex's insane hot-takes, he turned out to be right. And so many of us, back then, were wrong. And since the beginning, he has served as your High Priest and Intermediary to America's Far Right, your most faithful subject. He became the target of the same Deep State and Intelligence apparatus that went after you. The same railroad they tied you to, they tied him. The same way, with junk lawsuits in which "the process is the punishment" meant to bankrupt him, shame him, and silence him. I don't have to convince you how that system works. You know. Personally. Megyn Kelly did something that no other self-actualized, glass-ceiling-shattering "boss-babe" would ever do. And that is, despite vulgar attacks and an unnecessary feud of your making, she rose above personal attacks and supported you irrespective of personal disrespect. She could've been the Queen of Crossover Feminists, and had the Left's media apparatus ready to crown her head with a lifetime of media deals if she capitalized on that attention by returning her injury and insult into cold, hard cash. She turned it all down to support you. And support you, she has, out of nothing but the sheer, immovable power of her personal integrity. None of these people who you've just attempted to savage needed the establishment media. None of them have "lost jobs" as though they had to rent their platforms. They made their own, survived the gauntlet of Beltway Journalism, and proved that they don't have to have a Network to have a following. They are all the New Media. They're the New Media who got you elected when the Establishment Media - Fox News included - gave you the cold, hard shaft. They didn't lose their audience. They gained followers. They built their own platforms by the sweat of their own brow and sheer tenacity of their will, the same way you built skyscrapers. Except they didn't borrow to do it. They paid as they went, out of their own pockets and by the currency of their reputation as people who tell the truth. And it's rewarded them well. They didn't "turn on you." You turned on them, on all of us, and on yourself. You stabbed MAGA in the back. And now, your biggest supporters are the Washington parasitical filth who held their noses in your presence and sulked at your successes. That is, until you threw in your lot with them, against us. You went into the swamp to drain it. And it has swallowed you. You went to slay Leviathan, and have come back as its pet. Two things make a man respectable. The first is telling the truth. We recognize your values were formed in Manhattan, and aren't exactly the same as ours. We know you cross lines we wouldn't in the truth-telling department. But until now, we could rationalize it all away by just saying, "It's a part of his negotiation." Or, "Deceit is acceptable in war." God knows, you've been in it. But this is different. You've now lied to US. But the second thing that makes a man respectable is loyalty to the people who are loyal to him. And that's where you've made a tragic mistake in how you've treated these people, and more, like MTG. Each one of them has disagreed with your decision to break your promises to us. But they've all been loyal to you, even though your pride won't let you see it. They've prayed for your success, vouched for your accomplishments, and kept the wolves off your back day-in, day-out, despite their disagreements. And each one can look you in the eye and ask you the same question as the Apostle Paul, "Have I become your enemy, by telling you the truth?" Turn back, Mr. President. While you can. Because right now, you act as though you can usurp the authority of God, and God will not be mocked. He's cast down kings before, and the writing is on the wall. Mene. Mene. Tekel. Parsin. Numbered. Numbered. Divided. Conquered.
