The Average American

Lives Amongst Us in Large Number

Average Americans do not want much out of life.

They want a job that pays enough to afford a small plot of land, a home, a safe place where they can raise a family. They have an innate desire for the next generation to succeed economically to a greater degree than themselves. And as long as they can fill the fridge regularly, pay for that unexpected expense without facing grave concern, and can find moments of joy throughout their week, as the weeks turn into months, and years. And as they sacrifice time to the job, the family, the bills, they want for nothing more than to be content.

Oh sure, they’ll secretly wish to win the lottery and find some sweet relief from the daily drudgery.

They’ll tune into a show about buying waterfront real estate and dream about the day they might get the same opportunity that will never actually arrive. They make self-sacrifice for the children, and then grandchildren.

They’ll keep the lawn cut, the shrubbery in fine shape, and the home in decent condition. Certainly because they wish to maintain value in their biggest asset, but also to demonstrate to the neighbors that they are fine and decent people, who properly maintain their home. They take a measure of pride in how the appearance of their home and cars represents their sturdy values to the neighbors.

The best compliment you can give the average American is that it shows they were “raised properly”. That reflection on their elders and forebearers their most sacred badge of honor.

They’ll attend weekly services, sing at the appropriate times, kneel in unison with the crowd, and possibly even gain something from the sermon. They’ll look forward to either the after-church-service lunch planned, or the after service bakery visit almost as much as they did the church service itself.

They will spend the weekend with family, they’ll take in the game featuring their favorite team, they will experience the heights of joy, or depths of sorrow as goes the teams fortunes. They will celebrate important dates and events.

Sunday dinner will bring the family together and they will feel the warmth of keeping loved ones close, and seeing the extended family growth that didn’t exist way back when the proposal was proffered and there wasn’t a pot to piss in. They will remember all the doubters who thought the marriage might not last, and feel a sense of “I told you so” in the face of every child at the Sunday dinner table.

That is the average American in a nutshell, and in fact the average human across the globe. They don’t want baronial mansions along the Rhode Island shore, they just want enough to keep the bills at bay in an emergency.

And if pressed what they really want is good health first and foremost, for all of the immediate family concerned.

Funny thing about this average American, they don’t want more than they deserve. They don’t want to eat off someone else’s plate, they don’t want a share they didn’t earn, and they don’t want to feast on the spoils of the tragedy or misfortunes of others.

As long as “the game” is played fairly, they ask a “fair shake”, an equal opportunity, the chance to move through their lives unimpeded by others.

If everyone plays by the same rules they’ll go a lifetime absent causing society a lick of trouble. They’ll pay their taxes on time, accept that two weeks annual vacation is sufficient, and actually take some measure of pride in the work they do from 9 to 5 throughout the week.

Now there is one thing this average American family won’t abide. Not a bit.

Demonization.

Blame.

Being the “fall guy”.

When politicians begin to claim “you didn’t build that”, in reference to the paltry assets they’ve managed to accumulate. Or to shame them for some sense of privilege they’ve never recognized inside their own struggle. Or when our politicians and government employees begin to change the rules of the game to disadvantage them, un-level the playing field against them due to skin color, or some element they cannot change because it is innate, incapable of change, the average American recoils.

Stung, at first they might retreat. Become quiet. Take a moment to reflect.

How, what, why, when?

They process the accusations, they attempt to wrap their head around all the new rules and regulations, they wonder why they’ve been singled out, when they sinned, who they harmed, they take this all seriously. All their lives they’ve attempted to move forward in life, gain greater opportunity for themselves, their offspring, at what point did they offend, take more than their “fair share”.

How did a quarter acre plot of land and three bedroom one car garage get to be a theft against society, a greed grab, an offense to entire elements in the community?

Being religious, being polite, the knee-jerk reaction is to apologize, take personal stock, and to wish for others some ability to mirror their own success. At first blush they want to atone and help out.

But then.

But then after both a quiet period of reflection, and the total lack of “forgiveness” of their sins, and only recriminations, the average American tires of being labeled selfish. Racist. Privileged. Advantaged.

The average American remembers the toil, the failures, the worries, the struggles. The nights of doubt. The nights of abject terror wondering how the bills would get paid, how the car repairs were going to get paid so the car could be at the curb Monday morning to ferry them to the essential job. They remember standing in the aisle of the super market buying formula, counting cans, how much is going to be left over to buy something for dinner for the rest?

In reflection they see no privilege, they see no advantage, only toil and hard work. Savings and sacrifice. Mixed with moments of triumph and happiness, achievement.

Anger.

Resentment.

Isolation.

After a brief period of reflection and what appears to be atonement, there will be a backlash against the charges leveled against them.

A backlash against those that forced them to feel a shame for a history they had nothing to do with, and a skin color they cannot change. Against a system that appears to have turned on them, them, loyal Americans, patriotic Americans, God fearing, do the best they can, treat others as they wish to be treated themselves, Americans.

No longer will they listen to words that describe them as “Deplorables”.

No, they will not be labeled racists either.

They may not have much of a formal eduction, they may not be famous, or ever get to be on television, they aren’t even well known in their community.

But they will have had enough. Enough scapegoating as the problem. Enough blame, enough shame for things that are immutable.

And though they have little, they will embrace their assets with pride. They will stand tall for the fine family they have produced, they will stand tall for the ways in which they’ve advanced the family fortune, created an easier path for the next generation, they will stand on a renewed faith in what they have accomplished.

And they won’t take it anymore.

They will repudiate the current administration that demonizes them so.

They will repudiate all claims that they are the problem, they are the racists, they are the demons causing so many segments of society to suffer.

For a time you can cause them an anxiety, a quieting, a period of reflection mistaken for an atonement for being complicit in the sins of which they’ve been accused.

But eventually, after they’ve had time to reflect, they will reject the premise, and do so strongly.

They did this in 2016 and shocked the world.

And in three weeks time they, the American People, will rise up and repudiate all those who place the blame upon them again.

The Average American will swallow a lot of guff. But they will not swallow their pride, and they will not sacrifice their family on the altar of DEI, “Woke” and other systems of white oppression that seeks to neuter their influence and standing.

They don’t mind losing to another fairly, but they’ll be damned if they are going to self-sabotage by standing in the corner as others advance beyond them absent talent or achievement, but by dint of today’s preferred official flavor of skin color and nationality.

Absent the system cheating in droves I expect the Average American to rise up and repudiate all things Democrat, all things DEI, all things CRT, all things “Woke”, and all things “Oligarchy” the first week in November. In three short weeks time.

To once again, shock the world.

And in particular the current system.

This horrible marriage of Washington, DC, Hollywood, the mainstream media, and all of government.

And if the system and Oligarchs somehow win against them, God help the average American.
