Business success happens like this: an entrepreneur find some product or service that the public wants, makes it, markets it, and captures a market for the product. Having found the recipe for success, everything the business does from that moment forward works to offer more of the product / service for less money. It pushes for efficiency. This creates distance between the business and any competitor.

But once the business reaches some sort of megalithic status, it then works to prevent nimble startups from usurping its turf. When a startup begins that threatens the space captured by the big corporation, the corp will respond in 1 of 3 ways:

  1. Try to replicate the startup methodology, which is hard to do sometimes
  2. Buy the startup, which is easy but somewhat costly
  3. Leverage government to regulate the startup's existence or momentum
That last option is the cheapest and generally the easiest to do. A donation here, a donation there, and - poof - regulations appear that put hurdles in front of the startup.

This applies in politics, too. When the newcomer with great ideas and voter momentum arrives on the scene, leadership (big corp) will work to shut down the startup (accelerating politician) by limiting their bills, removing them from committees, preventing their election. Pelosi has done that to AOC. Consider the stolen AG race in Arizona, where there is documented proof of discrepancies that are "eight times the 280-vote margin in the attorney general race."

The only way to defeat that is to start at the top and escape the gravity that tries to pull you down. This is why Elon is inevitably successful. It's very hard to regulate him out of existence. The Biden administration tried to use the EPA to slow down SpaceX. But it didn't work.

They tried to steal the second term of Donald J. Trump, but it very obviously didn't work.

You can think of other examples. The powerful try to squash the ambitions of those weaker than them all of the time. America is amazing because it starts with this premise: all men are created equal. We root for the underdog. We champion the guy who dusts himself off and tries again - or dodges a bullet and stands tall again, saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The Left tried to shut you up and silence you, but we elected someone powerful enough to start at the top, and though the government works to thwart him, we give him continued momentum.

In any battle, the side that loses is the side that quits. I refuse to be squashed. So do you.

That's why we will win. We will live under no one's thumb.
