To make America Great, whatever isn’t great needs to be restored or revamped. The ballroom wasn’t great, but it will be. Hunter Biden wasn’t great but Baron is. This is as much a celebration of Trump as it is of the entire country. Opening the eyes of a dead man walking is quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Properly iterating the west’s heritage, its glory, and it’s mission for the next 250 years is no small feat. This nation was founded on the judeo-Christian idea of manifest destiny, the belief that American settlers were destined to expand westward. After landing ashore eventually colonies formed still loyal to the King. A figure like no other in history emerged when colonists had enough to lead a rebellion in the man George Washington. Washington overthrew the king from our soil and began the great American experiment. During that grueling expansion our ancestors fought each other to end slavery. Eventually gold was struck. The California Gold rush occurred a few years prior to the Colorado Gold rush which began in July of 1858. These two injections of precious material helped America become the economic powerhouse it is today. The major front range towns of Denver, golden, and Boulder were all founded after this major influx of money. Then we enjoyed the Gilded Age and the progressive era, before WWI claimed the lives of roughly 22 million. It all screams back with the roaring 20’s before falling into the great depression. Then a second World War was won with a .45. The Civil rights era instituted changes that are still felt to this day. Vietnam gave us agent orange. Regan gave us amnesty. The cold war was chilly. The forever wars in the middle east are hot. SpaceX launched today. SpaceX isn’t just a rocket company. It never was. It’s a civilization architecture firm and the blueprint covers more than one planet. By 2075, the first self-sustaining city on Mars will breathe recycled Martian air, grow food under pressurized domes, and send signals back to Earth that say: we made it. Not as explorers passing through, but as inhabitants a second branch of humanity, permanently rooted in the cosmos.
