"The Great Task Remaining Before Us" - Imagining Victory, A New Birth Of Freedom Here And Everywhere

Friends, sharing a recording of my Wednesday night talk with paid subscribers of the Hopium community. We are entering a new phase of Trump’s second term. A period of dramatic escalation at home and abroad. Trump ended the year weak, politically and physically. He has started 2026 off with a wildly aggressive campaign to reclaim control over the national debate and restore his power. The “success” of the Maduro operation has clearly emboldened him; he has, in his desperation and growing madness, declared himself Emperor of the Western Hemisphere, High Lord of the Western Hemisphere, and has declared that the US Constitution, domestic US law, the UN Charter, international law, and Senate ratified treaties with our allies no longer apply to him and his regime. This next phase, Trump unbound, is a very, very dangerous one. Like with all of his other “strongman” plays these new 2026 ones - Venezuela, Greenland, Minnesota - are already wildly unpopular and only play to a very narrow portion of his base while pushing away the majority of the country. All of this is giving Dems a chance to go on offense now, lean in, be proud patriots, and defend democracy and freedom here and everywhere. For Americans and the people of the world are now relearning, painfully, why autocracy and oligarchy are WRONG, DANGEROUS, INHUMANE, and must be challenged with everything we got. And after all we are Americans. Fighting for freedom and democracy is who we are. It’s what we’ve been doing for 250 years. While there is much darkness today, what we are coming to learn is that we must begin to organize ourselves differently now, to become stronger and more unified, less divided and isolated, to see all this uncertainty and chaos as an opportunity to make the case to the people of America and the world about freedom and democracy. We have an opportunity to encourage the free states and cities here in America to band together and connect to other free nations and peoples around the world. We must now build a “liberal internationale” to counter its rising illiberal counterpart, and while it is easy to visualize failure right now, we must increasingly spend our time visualizing success and victory, and build a plan suited to this new day to make it so. https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/th...
