Excellent work, Mr. Shumway. Smart choice of a natural setting to reach those who are unduly influenced by background. This will no doubt be more effective than someone like me sitting in front of a bookcase. Your question is an interesting and very important one. In my case, I am not a “Trump supporter.” The political process is a very complex and, generally, disappointing one. I selectively pick and choose which actions of President Trump for which I offer encouragement. Conversely, I publicly criticize the ones that I do not. Thus, it is not, per se, about “supporting Trump,” not is it about “my opinion.” It is about trying to piecemeal influence the VECTOR sum of forces and events so as to on the whole—assuming like minded activists “out there”—so that a better outcome is achieved. There are, of course, many points of failure. Like you, I have been, ever since an anesthesiologist friend alerted me in early 2020, opposed to the System’s scam package called “COVID,” including the pseudovaccine. [For an initial reference, because this is what scholars do, podomatic.com/podcasts/…]. So yes, Trump bad—very bad, in fact—on the evil COVID Operation. If we can get him to take certain other actions (for me, these include stopping the Gazan genocide, ending the destruction of Europeans in the Ukrainian-Russian Conflict, not bombing Iran for Israel, stopping the illegal immigrant invasion, stopping the Replacement of Europeans here, there and everywhere, etc.), then I will try to accomplish little nudges in those directions. I sure know that the Obama-Biden-Harris Way was a path towards global, national and a very real personally-targetting Hell. Thank you for a very provocative, instigating post.

I agree with you 100%. This is spot on. I knew it was a hoax from day 1, because I was expecting something and BOOM here came "covid." I refused to wear a mask and get vaccinated. I was living in CA, amid the covid authoritarians and hated it so much that I moved to Idaho. Never looked back, love it here. I do not understand the support of Trump but they say nothing when I bring up Operation Warp Speed, which he is still proud of.

Btw, it looks beautiful where you are. Makes me somewhat envious.

You said the word "pride". Trump sounds to me like a guy who has too much of it to ever admit he was wrong.
