The demagogue’s speech

It has been four years since I stood before you and asked you to follow me in a great awakening, a grand internal revolution that has begun the process of reclaiming for our nation the greatness it has forsaken. Four years — a time of great success and progress, a list so great that it is impossible to enumerate all the remarkable results that have been reached during a time which may be looked upon as probably the most astounding epoch in the life of our people. 

We have led our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace. We are, once again, a country of generosity and warmth, built on a foundation of law and order. The violence and chaos that threatened our way of life are things of the past. 

The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead. We have led. We have been honest. We have closed our borders to the outsiders. We have empowered our police 

We are once again on the road to great prosperity and strength. No longer does a foreign financial cabal reap the rewards of our hard work; the forgotten workers, who built this great nation, the men who built our factories and farmed our soil, once again have seat at the table, a voice. I am your voice. 

The forgotten men and women of our country are forgotten no longer. You have, by the tens of millions, created a historic movement, the likes of which the world has never seen before. At the center of this movement has been the conviction that America is for Americans. Our bedrock is total allegiance to our great nation, and through our loyalty, we have rediscovered loyalty to each other. 

We stand at the birth of a new millennium of national greatness in which a new national pride will stir us, lift our sights and heal our divisions. We have made great strides in reconstructing the structure of our state, and while we have taken back our government, it remains foreign to our own national character, our historical development and our national needs

We are a people of action, yet our legislative branch prevents action. It is characterized by inertia and can no longer be depended upon to act on our behalf. It is a critical situation that cannot be remedied by collaboration; it requires revolutionary reconstruction. This radical change, which is needed if we are to reach our full potential as a nation, can not be carried out by those who see themselves as custodians of the old order. Our constitution, which had served us well for decades and decades, has been dismantled by so-called judges who have no concern for the safety and well-being of real Americans. As such, the constitution no longer resembles the shining vision offered by our Christian forebears, and stands as an impediment to  furthering our radical reformation of political, cultural and economic life — a revolution necessary to returning this nation to its former greatness.

As I said, we have made great strides in four years, but the path ahead is long. It will require courage, it will require sacrifice — of life and blood, if that should be necessary. I do not endorse violence; and I have empowered the police to do everything possible to quell the unrest we have faced from outside agitators, from false revolutionaries paid by the monied elites to stir up trouble and slow our progress. The monied elites, the international bankers, they look down upon us and will do everything they can to protect their sinecures, to maintain their political and economic power. But it is not their nation; it is ours, and our revolution will continue moving forward, continue remaking our nation in its proper image. We have succeeded, so far, without causing damage to property, unlike those defending the old order. We have protected property, against the agitators, the anarchists, the unionists. We have ended the extortion racket that was the union system, and have made the worker truly free. We have unleashed the creativity and power of capital, by freeing our great business owners from the burdens of regulation. And we have done all of this without violence.

This bloodless revolution was possible because we followed a simple principle: The purpose of a revolution, or of any general change in the condition of public affairs, cannot be to produce chaos but only to replace what is bad by substituting something better.

Our way is better. Our way is safer. After decades of record immigration had produced lowered wages for our countrymen, we constructed a wall and rounded up and deported the invaders. This has allowed us to rebuild our nation in the proper image, and to prevent Muslims from intruding themselves into our nation as an element of internal disruption, under the mask of free exercise of religion, and thus gaining power over us or giving them the opportunity to engage in terrorism. Together, we have taken back our nation. We have made our nation safe again. We have made our nation strong again. We have made our nation whole again.
We have more work to do. Together, we will bring back our jobs and make our nation wealthy again. We will demonstrate our might and make our nation proud again. We will how to no one and regain our independence.
I must once again thank all those millions of unknown countrymen, from every class and every region, who have given their hearts, their lives and their sacrifices, for this new national experiment. We have made this nation great again, and I promise to make it even greater still.
