Dear Sane America,
What you’re watching is not organic outrage or spontaneous protest, it’s pressure. Deliberate pressure. The fires are being fanned on purpose by political operators, amplified by social media, and sold to the public as compassion. None of it is meant to help Americans. It’s meant to provoke.
This is no longer left vs. right. That framing is dead. What we’re dealing with now is a faction that would rather burn the country down than accept the fact that voters rejected them. They don’t want to govern. They want chaos, because chaos creates leverage.
They want to provoke Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Not to protect anyone. Not to restore order. But because escalation is the product. They want confrontation. They want images. They want blood in the streets so they can scream tyranny while standing on the damage they helped cause.
That’s the plan. They don’t have policies because policies require accountability. They don’t have solutions because solutions require competence. What they have is disruption, and an army of “useful idiots” willing to play their role. The foot soldiers don’t understand this. They think screaming in the street is activism. They confuse lawlessness with compassion and chaos with courage. They don’t see that they’re being used as bait, deployed to provoke a response they can then weaponize. So they attack law enforcement. ICE agents enforcing federal law are smeared as villains, called Nazis and Gestapo by little shits who don’t understand history, power, or reality. Courts are ignored. Orders are defied. Federal authority is mocked. And every time disorder follows, they clap like trained seals and call it justice. None of this is accidental. This is bait. They want Trump to act so they can claim victimhood. They want him to move so they can cry dictatorship. They want people hurt so they can point, film, and fundraise. Tragedy isn’t a fear to them, it’s a tool. Bodies become props. Suffering becomes narrative fuel.
And what’s making them angrier? Trump sees it. He understands the trap. He knows discipline beats emotion, patience beats mobs, and restraint denies them the spectacle they’re desperate for. Make no mistake about it: this apparatus is willing to see Americans hurt if it advances the narrative. They dress it up as compassion, but it’s sabotage. They talk about justice while excusing crime. They preach empathy while attacking families, mocking work, erasing standards, and treating national identity like a disease. And when sane Americans finally say “enough,” they act shocked…as if consequences fell from the sky. This isn’t disagreement. This is contempt for the country itself.
Sane Americans don’t want revenge. We want order. We want laws that mean something. We want a nation that doesn’t apologize for existing. We are done being manipulated into chaos. Done pretending division is progress. Done letting people who hate this country define morality while pushing it toward the brink. This isn’t about being polite anymore. It’s about being awake. And sane America is awake, clear-eyed, fed up, and no longer willing to hand the wheel to people whose entire strategy is to provoke a national confrontation and blame everyone else for the wreckage.
