       @redwhitebluedude I think it is less about showing who is a Trump supporter and who is not. It is more about showing everyone who is a Patriot, which states are loyal to our country, and who still respects the constitution. This is about who is going to stay to fight and win this war.

       (1) @redwhitebluedude It’s just weeding them out. We do not need anyone dragging us down. The weak can just leave. It reminds me of the story of my oldest and his first job. Not yet driving, I took him to the place of business he applied for online. It was a Tuesday. I gave him his resume in a file folder and told him to go in and ask for the status of his resume. He came out. Head hung a little low and said, “they said they are not hiring at this time.”

       (2) @redwhitebluedude That’s ok I said. “We will come back next week and check again.” “Mom. They said they weren’t hiring.” “I know.” Next Tuesday came. We hopped in the car with the same Manila folder and I instructed this begrudgingly 16 year old to inquire on the status of his resume. Same thing. They weren’t hiring. After 4 weeks, the answer was, “we are not hiring until after Christmas” (this was august/September).

       (3) @redwhitebluedude Another two weeks went by and they called him, “we would like to give you a phone interview.” One week after the phone interview they requested him to come in for an interview. A few days after that they offered him a job (sometime in October). I explained to my son that EVERYONE wanted to work there so they needed to somehow weed people out. They only wanted the ones who REALLY wanted to work there. And so you needed to be persistent I told him.

       (4) @redwhitebluedude And persistent he became. While there, he worked throughout Highschool and college. Took advantage of every program they offered both Highschool and college students. At the start of his senior year of college he was interviewed for a full time position. They offered him the job and he would begin after he graduated. He is 5 months into the job in a good position.

       (5) @redwhitebluedude So my point is - weed the weak out. If we want to be successful, we do not need any downers/wishy washy supporters. I want a soldier beside me - not a Nancy. 🇺🇸

       @Ballerina Got similar advice from my mother. She told me to call a company after I sent my CV to ask about my application once a week or two have passed without hearing back from them to showcase my interest in actually working there.Works like a charm.@redwhitebluedude

       @Aristocratic_Cthulhu if you think about it, it’s the anti cultural thinking to “everyone gets a trophery “ (misspelling intentional) @redwhitebluedude

       @Aristocratic_Cthulhu and did you give your mother eye rolls and overly exaggerated sighs every time she pushed you forward like mine did? I am confined to waiting for the day he becomes president of the company and at his first presiding  annual shareholders meeting, he waves and mouths, “HI MOM!” It will be only then that I KNOW he realizes how important that summer was 😎 @redwhitebluedude

       @Ballerina I did and I certainly didn't make it easy for mother in general either. I always wanted the precise reason why I had to do something which drove my parents insane. xDNow that I'm older I've come to realize that they had some good points.@redwhitebluedude

       @jeauxy from my observation, you are a man who is aware that a happy wife is a happy life. Pretty sharp to me. @Aristocratic_Cthulhu @redwhitebluedude

       @redwhitebluedude I have not seen anyone switch sides since the December 11, 2020 abrogation of law.  Have you?
