We’re Winning, Even If It Doesn’t Always Feel Like It

It’s easy to feel discouraged, but take a moment to reflect: we’re making progress. The people have shown incredible resilience against what many saw as overreach in 2020 and beyond. 
Here’s what I’m grateful for today:

• The “Great Reset,” once a buzzword for sweeping global changes, has faded from mainstream conversation.
• The “Build Back Better” slogan, which some feared would justify dismantling existing systems, has lost traction.
• World War III hasn’t erupted, despite global tensions.
• Gasoline-powered cars and meat remain legal, and we can still grow our own gardens.
• We’re not confined to dystopian “pods”… at least, not yet.

This progress didn’t happen by chance. Grassroots movements, like Canada’s Freedom Convoy, played a crucial role in pushing back against policies many viewed as distinctly unfunny.
The best part is that the whole “global takeover” they tried to sneak past us in 2020 has been a total flop.  
We, the people, turned out to be way feistier than they expected—think less “sheeple,” more “caffeinated beavers.”
Is “Build Back Better” still a thing? Nope, because we banished it to the void. We didn’t just win; we forced a whole script rewrite.
Take a bow, Freedom Convoy of Canada! Those honking truckers threw the biggest, most peaceful protest party in Canadian history. 
Picture this: a bunch of flannel-wearing, coffee-sipping, maple syrup slurping folks shutting down the narrative with nothing but horns and heart. It was like Woodstock, but with better parking and snow instead of mud.
Of course, the Canadian government’s not thrilled. They’re trying to toss a couple of these heroic truckers in jail for, what, six or seven years? 
For throwing a protest that was basically a polite middle finger to overreach? That’s like jailing someone for singing “O Canada” too loudly. Talk about sore losers.
So, let’s keep the party going. Share your own gratitude list in the comments—what’s got you smiling today? 
Or better yet, crank up the tunes, honk your horn (metaphorically or not), and let’s keep reminding the powers that shouldn’t be: we’re not in pods yet, and we’re not done laughing.
Or winning.
