There’s a poison in our country, and let’s be blunt—it’s an invasion. It flows silently across a broken border, a chemical war being waged on our families with pills and powder. This unseen enemy has stolen a generation of young Americans, leaving a trail of shattered communities and grieving parents. It is a slow, creeping devastation that has turned main streets into memorials.

Donald Trump has taken decisive action to end this epidemic. He has recently launched attacks against drug cartel boats. These boats are free to cross open waters to reach the U.S. The nations from which they come do nothing to stop them. Democrats have flipped out over what Trump’s doing. But what are Americans thinking about it?

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found that 71 percent of American voters back the deployment of US military forces to target and eliminate drug traffickers in Latin America, including sinking cartel vessels en route to US shores.

“These groups have unleashed more bloodshed and killing on American soil than all other terrorist groups combined. These are the worst of the worst. It should now be clear to the entire world that the cartels are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere, in addition to their monstrous violence, such as cutting off heads, burning their enemies alive, and burning innocent people alive too.”

The Media Narrative Shatters

As soon as President Trump declared his administration would wage total war on these narco-terrorists, the usual suspects began their predictable, pearl-clutching chorus. You know the routine. The mainstream media and their Democrat allies screamed about “reckless warmongering” and “dangerous escalation.” They painted a picture of a divisive president acting against the wishes of the American people.

Well, about that narrative… it just got blown to smithereens. A new Harvard/Harris poll has revealed that a staggering 71 percent of American voters back President Trump’s use of military force to eliminate drug traffickers. This includes direct action like sinking their boats. The American people, it seems, are tired of watching their children die and are fully behind a president who is finally willing to fight back.

Even Democrats Reject Their Own Party’s Weakness

But the most stunning revelation in the poll is the one the D.C. establishment hopes you’ll never see. This isn’t just a Republican issue. The poll found that a clear majority of Democrats—56 percent of them—also support deploying the U.S. military to destroy the cartels.

While their own party bosses are wringing their hands on cable news and attacking the President, their voters are cheering on President Trump. This is a complete repudiation of the weak, open-border agenda that has defined the Democratic party’s elite. How can these leaders claim to represent anyone when they are so fundamentally disconnected from reality?

A Mandate for Decisive Action

This overwhelming public support provides President Trump with an undeniable mandate. His decision to designate cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations was the first step in unleashing America’s full power against them. When the President says, “We’re waging war on them like they’ve never seen before,” he isn’t just speaking for himself. He is speaking for an American majority that is tired of losing.

His blunt promise to “kill people that are bringing drugs into our country” sent the media into a frenzy. But real Americans? They just nodded along. They understand that you don’t negotiate with terrorists who behead their enemies. You eliminate them.

The debate is over. The American people have spoken with one clear, powerful voice, delivering a mandate for strength, security, and the uncompromising defense of our homeland. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, the era of apologizing for protecting our nation is finished. The war to reclaim our country has not only begun—it is a war the American people demanded.

Key Takeaways

  • An overwhelming 71% of Americans back Trump’s war on the cartels.
  • A majority of Democrats (56%) have rejected their own party’s weakness.
  • The media’s narrative of a divided nation has been proven false.
  • President Trump’s decisive leadership reflects the will of the people.
