Why We Exist

In November, 2020, 81 million American citizens voted for and chose Joe Biden to be the President of the United States.  For the next two months, President Donald Trump used the power of his office to attempt to nullify those votes.  These attempts culminated in an attack on the US Capitol, a clear effort to break the Constitutional transfer of power and to overturn the decision of the voting public, in an attempted coup.  These efforts represented the most serious attack on our nation, our unity as American citizens, and the covenant we hold with each other, in our lifetimes.

In November, 2024, the majority of the voting public revealed that they agreed with the former President's attack on our Constitutional Order, and indeed approved of his attempt to destroy the fundamental ties that bind us as citizens, by rewarding him with the most power that a single person can hold in our nation's government.  In so doing, they broke faith with their fellow Americans, and became willing participants in an anti-American, extremist cultural revolution that exists in fundamental opposition to a free nation founded and built on the concept of representative democracy.

As a result of these events, millions of normal Americans' faith in our nation and its promise has been shaken to the core.  The first consequence of this betrayal is the systematic destruction of what we've built together over long years.  Using a newly invented, radical reinterpretation of our Constitution as cover for their attempt to burn it down and start over, all previous Presidential administrations, Congresses and public votes since our founding are essentially deemed irrelevant or non-binding.  Many citizens, confused by a flood of new media, seem unaware of this reality.  

Two major questions now loom in the minds of those who always believed that our votes were enduring, our covenant to each other indestructible, our history a firm foundation: How did it happen that such blatantly unAmerican beliefs captured the minds of so many otherwise good Americans? And what can we do to save the nation we love from this evil, especially since our enemies have used our electoral process to attack it?

TRUE NORTH was founded to answer those two questions.  It is a community for regular Americans, of all political views, religious beliefs, ages, professions and walks of life, who have not lost sight of the Enlightenment ideals of equality and democracy upon which our nation was founded, or the concepts of truth, freedom, fairness, respect and good faith that have helped guide us since.  It is designed to oppose with every means at our disposal the cultural decay, civic ignorance, mindless cynicism and rampant propaganda that has led so many otherwise good people to turn their backs on our nation and its history, and to accept open corruption, mendacity, immorality and political violence as legitimate political activity.
