The Gist

There is an epic battle underway for the future of the United States. In broad terms, that battle is between those select few who benefit from unfettered globalization and everyone else in the country.

Megaph0ne will concentrate end user engagement on digital articles and social posts to support legitimate narratives in the interest of the bulk of Americans.

Scroll to the bottom for a TL;DR.



The Reality

Within 24 hours of Donald Trump's 2016 victory, the Clinton camp had laid out an explicit strategy to deny the causes for, and importance of, that historic event.

The truth is that the American people rebelled against an incompetent and corrupt elite to elect a political outsider. Those who are part of that elite have been working overtime to conceal this fact.

Most Americans, and a vast majority of Trump supporters, hold these views:

The United States has been in decline.

The political class is happy to manage the decline of the country rather than turn it around.

Political leaders prioritize protecting their own power above the interests of the country.

Powerful interests loot the treasury for their own benefit.

Wealthy, powerful people have rigged the system to favor themselves.

Worse yet, even larger majorities disagree with these sentiments:

Federal Government power arises from the consent of the people.

Wealthy, powerful people live under the same laws as the rest of us.

Politicians care about me.

Hard work brings success in the US economy.

In a nutshell, a plurality of Americans have developed a strongly negative view of the power structures in this country. More than 60 million voted for Donald Trump, and over 7 million made financial contributions to Bernie Sanders. This is no surprise: the affirmative bullet points above enjoy a minimum of 66% agreement, and points of disagreement weigh in at 81% minimum.

Percentages like 70% and 80% are not found within a single party - these opinions are held across party lines. It is noteworthy that Obama also campaigned very strongly against a status quo that he nonetheless faithfully implemented after the election.

In advance of the 2016 election, Micheal Moore identified the issue among Midwest voters, including some Democrats, correctly: "They see that the elites who ruined their lives hate Trump. Corporate America hates Trump. Wall Street hates Trump. The career politicians hate Trump. The media hates Trump."

A commanding, bi-partisan plurality of Americans want substantive change in this country, and that is why Donald J. Trump is our President.

The "Resistance"

The views above are anathema to those who benefit from the present distribution of power and wealth. Wall Street, Silicon Valley, the mainstream media, most major multinational corporations, most of the political donor class, and the vast majority of Washington D.C. are united in an effort to stamp out those views, terminate the Trump Administration, and return to business as usual.

The elites have ramped up political donations for individual Democrats (though not the DNC), investment in tech startups that push progressive causes, contributions to liberal nonprofits, subscriptions to liberal publications, and pressure on media and social networks to oppose Trump.

Those who are operating this country for their own benefit will not abandon their business model without a fight. We can reasonably anticipate a relentless onslaught of trolling, derision, misrepresentation, and outright falsehood through 2018.

The Solution

The 2016 election was won as a result of more than 60 million Americans casting a vote against the status quo. The future can be won by harnessing and amplifying the same power that delivered victory in 2016: the American people.

Our secret weapon is the truth. We know that a plurality of Americans, including many of those the elites have traditionally counted on to maintain control, actually agree with us. The future will be won by finding and promoting messages that are consistent with the major themes that drive this movement. The future will be won by enabling the grassroots to speak truth to each other, and to power.

And we'll do it off-platform, so the social networks can't stop us.
