Two New Anthems for OUR Counter-Revolution
So far this summer, two new Deplorable-friendly anthems have emerged that tap into the zeitgeist of present times in this country … the zeitgeist felt by a majority of Americans (though the media will be loath to admit that).
FIRST NEW ANTHEM
Jason Aldean’s Try That in a Small Town. It garnered much criticism from all the usual suspects, thus validating its value. Also, it was/is a big hit – quickly hitting #1 on iTunes. With good reason – it encapsulates what “Sundance” over at Conservative Treehouse describes as “cold anger.”
Cold anger? Harken back to our Declaration of Independence, and this excerpt:
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Cold anger is the building momentum that occurs under “a long train of abuses and usurpations.” In present circumstances, however, the solution is not to “throw off such government.” But instead, to expel the agents and operative of the Globalist-CCP Axis that have seized control of our government, and intend to cement that control on the way toward imposed a one-world government (a/k/a “Great Reset” and “Agenda 2030”). So, our shared goal is actually the restoration of our Divinely-inspired Constitutional Republic. For you see, we are counter-revolutionaries seeking to restore OUR republic.
SECOND NEW ANTHEM
Blasting out of nowhere comes Oliver Anthony’s Rich Men North of Richmond.
[As further evidence that Mr. Anthony’s heart is in the right place, watch his introduction as he was performing just this past weekend: here.]
Rich Men North of Richmond has gone all-caps VIRAL (in only about one week); this is an indicator of how it is resonating in peoples’ hearts and minds. Methinks this song has the potential to become associated as a voice of this period in our history in a way reminiscent of how Woody Guthrie’s This Land is Our Land is inextricably linked with the Great Depression and the then-zeitgeist.
[Woody Guthrie was a Communist sympathizer; but I suspect that today he’d be with the Deplorables. His song laments the plight of the average working / unemployed American during that period. But he could not have known what we now know about Communism – its mass-murder through Gulags and killing fields and famines – nor its exploitation of the “working class.” So with that in mind, it would be fair to “repurpose” his song into the Deplorables’ Hall of Fame. For today’s Deplorables are the “working class.”]
This all begs the question: do emerging movements give rise to the anthems, or do the anthems help give rise to movements?
Or is there a symbiotic relationship? Are there times when there an organic zeitgeist bubbling up, and anthem(s) capture it and give voice to it – validating folks who come to realize that they are not alone, and so motivating them. While for others the anthem is the catalyst for the adoption of the zeitgeist by yet others?
I believe there is such a symbiosis. History supports this, as we’ll see.
Many of us believe that the 2024 election will mark the final, decisive battle for restoring our Constitutional Republic (which has been under attack by Globalists and Cultural Marxists for decades). Or, at least, the last opportunity to restore our Republic through peaceful means.
It is not by coincidence that the evildoers keep citing “2030” as their intended date to have already accomplished their “goals.” They are playing for keeps. Our “shining city on a hill” is the only thing standing in their way; any restoration of our Constitutional Republic an existential threat to their schemes.
To be sure, before now there have been skirmishes, and outright battle since 2016. So far, they’ve been winning. (Albeit, the Trump victory in 2016 was a major setback for them, hence their unprecedented efforts to hobble his administration, then the steal / coup d’etat of 2020, and the lawfare currently underway to keep him from assuming what in reality is the second term to which he was already elected.)
The election of Ronald Reagan, and his two terms, accomplished much. Only to then be undermined by his “Republican” successor, the GOP Establishment / UniParty / Globalist George H. Bush.
This, in turn, prompted the then-Deplorables to support H. Ross Perot in 1992. Perot was not successful, and we ended up with one of the UniParty candidates winning (Bill Clinton instead of George H. Bush).
After that, we got George W. Bush, who as a wolf-in-sheeps-clothing “evangelical” / faux Conservative, governed as a Globalist / neo-con UniParty member in good standing.
Then we got the election of Marxist “community organizer” – and possible Muslim Brotherhood operative – B. Hussein Obama.
The existential threat embodied by Obama was the catalyst for the Tea Party movement. Ultimately it was suppressed by UniParty forces (the Obama IRS, Mitch McConnell and others on the “Republican” side), and whithered away. But it did succeed in scaring the hell out of the UniParty subsidiary of the Globalist-CCP Axis — and its spirit never died.
During its heyday, the Tea Party movement also gave rise to some anthems. Listen now and discover just how well they still resonate today – resonate because the message(s) remain current:
Krista Branch with Remember Who We Are (2010) and I Am America (2010).
Jeremy Hoop with Rise Up (2010).
And Jeremy Dodge with I Am American (2010).
Now that you’ve listened, do you not agree that these could just as well have been produced today?
But, recall that back then we still believed that we had honest elections. We know better now (and so know better what we need to counter). Leading up to the 2016 election, there was still Tea Party sentiment afoot, which may have helped pave the way for Donald J. Trump beating the election machine algorithms, and so beating Hillary Clinton, the Globalist-CCP Axis’ designated heir to B. Hussein Obama.
During the 2016 race, there were new anthems as well:
Jamie Jones: Pissed Off Rednecks (2015)
[P.S. If 2015’s Pissed Off Rednecks doesn’t convince you of the same spirit is alive and well with 2023’s Try That in a Small Town, you aren’t paying attention.]
Dave Fenley: Make America Great Again (2016)
From Woody Guthrie to Oliver Anthony — nearly a century. In a sense, we’re coming full circle with anthems.
As we head into the consummate electoral battle for restoring our Constitutional Republic, let’s embrace that symbiosis mentioned above with our new anthems — the two latest and, I suspect, more to come. They speak to us, and for us: we are not alone, but are the majority. We are not the evildoers, but the righteous.
Sing it, brothers and sisters!
