Talk me down. For the love of God, talk me down.

14. That's sage advice.

I live in what has been called the reddest county in the state of Georgia, which says a lot. Our governor and lieutenant governor are from this county, and a local attorney, Ashley Bell, was a member of Trump's transition team, has recently been appointed to a position in the State Department. It's been years since I've seen a Democrat run for office in my area. Hell, even the County Coroner runs as a Republican.

The Democratic Party is weak here. I am well known in the community, but if my party allegiance was known, my business would cease to exist. I have been reluctant to speak my mind for fear of a backlash. You know Republicans. They are merciless if one does not walk in lockstep with them.

Nevertheless, I will make it a point to engage at the local level, even in a clandestine manner to begin with. I've never felt as compelled to demonstrate my patriotism as I do right now. What we are experiencing is NOT the same old, same old in Washington. We are not simply battling a different ideology than our own. We are fighting forces that did not emanate in the USA, but are being implemented by a party and their constituents who have brainwashed, and been brainwashed, over the course of several decades.

If the tables were turned, Democrats WOULD be accused and tried for treason. This isn't a joke. It's time for each and every one of us to defend America, not with muskets, but with constitutional fervor.
