Perhaps my favorite book of all time is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic, The Great Gatsby. The protagonist, Jay Gatsby, is the American Dream personified and not because he is rich and handsome and throws unbelievable parties. All of that is window dressing. Nice to have, but not the dream.
If you remember the story, he was born poor as James Gatz. He works hard and reinvents himself into the fabulously wealthy and dashing Gatsby. Women want to be with him, men want to be him. But again, it’s not about money; it’s about hope.
His life story embodies the quintessential American Dream: the belief that anyone, regardless of origin or class, can achieve success and happiness through determination, reinvention, and sheer will.
Imagine if you will a future America where Kamala Harris and Tim Walz rule the nation. In such a post-apocalyptic futurescape, a Gatsby would never blossom. We would live in a world of bored, unfulfilled lower middle-class James Gatz’ who grew up with tampons in boy’s bathrooms.
Wake up, Team SOFREP. This is your rallying call.
The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher. America stands at a critical crossroads, the kind that makes or breaks the fate of a nation. On one side, you have the rugged freedom of the American dream, grit and guts that built this country from the ground up. On the other, a looming specter of socialism, a creeping menace that promises prosperity while stripping the individual of his spirit, his drive, his very identity.

Harris and Walz are the latest ringleaders of a movement disguised as progress. But let’s call it what it is: control. The promise of “equality” under socialism is a carefully veiled power grab designed to make Americans obedient pawns in a system that rewards compliance and punishes dissent. If we allow this transformation, we risk becoming a nation of obedient sheep, watching idly as our freedoms are signed away, one bureaucratic act at a time.
And you know what, dear friend? There won’t be a damn thing we can do about it. It will be too late, much like trying in vain to tame a cancer once it has metastasized. Now is the time to act. Your vote is your voice, and I implore you to get out there and let it be heard.
The fundamental American spirit was never about accepting things as they are or about handouts and guarantees. It’s about rolling up your sleeves, getting dirt under your nails, and fighting tooth and nail to make your place in this world. This spirit built everything from the skyscrapers that scrape the heavens to the inventions that shape our lives. Socialism would extinguish this spirit, replacing ambition with complacency, independence with dependence. Is this what our comrades at arms have died fighting for? Our friends, our forefathers?
The good news is that hope is far from lost. America still has a fighting chance, and it lies within every one of us willing to raise our voices, take action, and resist the encroaching wave of conformity and control. So, while the powers that be might want you to believe that the game is over, that there’s nothing left to fight for—don’t buy it for a second. There’s still time to reclaim the American dream, but only if we rally, only if we believe in what we stand for.
The real revolution is resisting the call to let go of your freedom. Stay fierce. Stay unyielding. And don’t let anyone tell you what America “should” be—fight for what you know it is.
Vote for the American dream.
