Perhaps I am naive, but I honestly believe that there are more people that love this country than hate it, that cherish our constitution and the Judeo-Christian principles that inspired it, and who believe wholesome, traditional, common-sense family values never go out of style and lead to a better, safer society for all.
Too many of us who have managed to build happy, meaningful lives in an increasingly troubled society have convinced ourselves that it is unseemly or pointless to engage politics. Many feel that just voting is enough.
It does not matter, however, if we are the majority, if we do not understand the power of our majority. We are either helping, or we are dead weight – an extra burden on those who are in the political arena fighting for our American way of life. And ultimately, this dead weight helps the left.
Leftists, in my opinion, have more apparent tools at present, but conservatives have the numbers. We must make them count, and we must do it now.
This is why:
As is so often the case when tragedy befalls good people, they find a way to use it for good. That is why now may be a singular moment in time that our numbers can really count. Something new is happening.
I watch a podcast called Coffee with Scott Adams every day. An excerpt from today’s broadcast really stood out to me:
On the political right, they’ve always had the power. They’ve always had the ability. They just didn’t have a big enough reason to think that we would all act in unison.
Now we have it. Everybody sees it. Everybody feels it. And we’re working as one now.
It doesn’t mean it’s perfectly coordinated. You know, the world’s a messy place, but all the energy is moving in the right direction, and people are looking for guidance to make sure they’re moving in the right place. They’re checking in with people. They’re talking to people. They’re influencing people who need to be influenced. And more important than any of that, we don’t give a f— what people think about us right now, and that is freedom.
Adams went on to describe recent events that indicate changes are already happening.
There is a massive movement toward cancelling the people who mocked the death of Charlie Kirk. I did not see that coming. I did not believe that the right would go after them. And if they did, I didn’t think that anybody would fire them. I thought their employers would say, Oh, it’s free speech. We don’t do that. But they didn’t do that, apparently, the political right – and I’d say Robbie Starbuck was a big part of this– but the political right now knows that if [companies] displease the political right, then it is organized enough to bring down their stock price pretty much immediately, and just leave it there.
And so big companies now say… we’d better take this really seriously.
And are they? Yes, the scariest thing is, how many of these people getting fired? Are teachers – have you noticed that, for some reason, there’s a weirdly disproportionate number of teachers who are celebrating the death of an American who is just a good guy, and most of them are getting fired.
Which is the satisfying thing for us. Because, I think the political left had gotten to the point where they thought that killing people on the right was justified under a variety of reasons that were up to them subjectively. And now they’re learning if you f— with somebody on the right, there’s going to be something to pay. There’s a price, and we’re going to make sure that there’s a price.
So people are getting cancelled like crazy.
One of my favorite stories was Office Depot denied somebody the right to print of a Charlie Kirk poster. The poster was not offensive. It was just celebrating, his power in life and maybe his power after death. But nothing anti- trans or racist – nothing like that. It was just that pro Charlie Kirk poster and the weird looking monster-creature, barely-human thing that worked there, said, “Oh no, we can’t do that because it’s propaganda!”
So Office Depot got the complaints because the person who got turned down took a video of the interaction. And they fired the employee who made the decision.
And then, do you know what happened next? After Office Depot – rapidly, very rapidly, to their credit – fired the person who was the one who said, “We can’t do this.”
And then the conservative said there was another employee standing next to that one. You need to fire that one too, because that employee was not arguing with the decision.
And that was enough. And what did Office Depot do? … They fired the second person right away.
So things are changing.
It isn’t just happening here. In an unprecedented rally, 110,000 fed up conservatives march in London yesterday (9/13/2025) for free speech.
For the Saluda County Republican Party, our mission falls in line with Adams’s belief that, unlike previously, conservatives now have reason to think that enough people are ready to work in unison, and that they may now be “looking for guidance to make sure they’re moving in the right place.”
That is exactly what a political party is for: to join willing individuals in a unified movement. We have the numbers, but only if we are each willing to roll up our sleeves and help.
This may be the best chance we have ever had to make a real difference. Consider joining the Saluda County Republican Party and we can show you how.
