What if we aren’t a nation in decline, but in fact far more powerful than we dare to imagine? What if the images of weakness, insane conspiracy theories and recycled political failures of the past century that we are being fed from both the left and the right represent the last-ditch efforts of our enemies to divide and control us, because they know that otherwise they’ve lost the handle? What if we could build a better future together over the next five years — using the unique strengths of our own culture, combined with new technologies that give us unrivaled power to deter our enemies, cure diseases, eat healthier food, and live freer, better and more interesting lives? Imagine what would happen if Americans focused on our strengths, and our enormous capacity for progress, instead of on personal selfishness, political hatreds and ideological insanity? It starts with respecting the rights and freedoms that make this country the most powerful engine of human progress that the world has ever seen. Or we can choose to be divided and miserable.
