One of the underrated cultural impacts of Trump is a clear repudiation of safetyism.
Refusing to let a rain storm cancel his 250th address may not seem like a big deal. But you know Trump had to override a a swarm of panicked administrators to do it.
Trumps response to death is literally to fight, or quip that you โhave to go sometimeโ. Maybe in your bed, many years from now, but not at the cost of the fight as Mel Gibson once said.
If George Washington walked through bullets we can stand in the rain.
If we want to reclaim our country we have to be able to handle the most modest expressions of courage.
Itโs time to build, itโs time to live, even if it costs โjust one lifeโ. If we donโt we will wither to nothing from a lack of meaning. Trying to avoid all uncertainty will cost you everything you care about.
Itโs time to dance in the rain again.
