Even as the anti-globalization wave is building to tsunami proportions with Britain’s exit from the E.U., a group of GOP delegates are plotting to change the convention rules to stop Donald Trump’s nomination in Cleveland — and the #NeverTrump media pundits couldn’t be giddier.

Some in the conservative intelligentsia have turned into mad (political) scientists right before our eyes. They’re hunched over test tubes in secret laboratories devising a way to allow a handful of delegates on the Republican National Committee rules committee to try to overrule the democratic process and effectively un-nominate Donald Trump. Their perpetual uber-gripe has been that Trump is authoritarian, and they continue making that gripe even as they bend democracy to fit their whims — as if the opinion of a few pundits and some party delegates is of greater value than the opinion of 13 million voters.

That’s not authoritarian; it’s having a backbone, but many Republicans are so used to their party’s Gumby-esque leaders that they can no longer tell the difference.

For those who don’t like Trump — but also don’t want to trade in democracy for oligarchy by deposing him — here’s a step-by-step guide to supporting Donald Trump:

STEP ONE: Be humbled by democracy, because respecting the results of elections has gotten us pretty far. David French is a clever lawyer, and he can sit around at National Review devising legal detours around the voters all day long, but that doesn’t make it right.

STEP TWO: Channel your inner ninth-grade civics teacher and remember that there are three co-equal branches of government. And there’s a media too.

Trump won’t roll on his back and submit to the will of the political Establishment, the media, or the Supreme Court. That’s not authoritarian; it’s having a backbone, but many Republicans are so used to their party’s Gumby-esque leaders that they can no longer tell the difference.

Trump at heart is a dealmaker, and he’ll come to tough issues with spine and a willingness to cut a good deal. Ruling by executive fiat just doesn’t fit his style as a businessman.

But even if Trump did overstep his power, as Obama has made a habit of doing, he would meet massive resistance.

Ask yourself: will the mainstream media let Trump get away with the shenanigans they’ve been ignoring for over seven years? Will Congress look the other way if a President Trump strays from Article Two? Of course not! What they will do is channel all their adversarial, anti-Trump energy and use it to finally reign in executive power and snip it back down to its constitutional limits.

If you believe Donald Trump is capable of authoritarianism in the U.S. system, you’ve lost faith in the Constitution, and that’s a way bigger problem than disliking the Republican nominee.

STEP THREE: Stop agreeing with Hollywood celebrities and rock stars — because by all the laws of nature, whatever they believe about politics, the opposite is true.

STEP FOUR: Love American sovereignty and say “no” to those who would sell it to the highest bidder

The globalization recipe is simple: take a great nation — then add water.

Globalization, with its free trade, open borders, foreign interventionism, and codependency of nations, is universally loved by the giant multi-national corporations who profit from it. As a result, it is equally loved by the political elites (in both parties) who are funded by those corporations and the media that is owned by those corporations.

Consider which industries keep Hillary Clinton swimming Scrooge-McDuck-style in her campaign’s money bin: $28 million from securities and investments, $18 million dollars from lawyers/law firms, $3 million from pharmaceuticals. And the list goes on.

Now look at Paul Ryan, upstanding Republican leader (and rebuker of Trump’s every word). Which industries keep him in power? Securities and investments, lawyers/law firms, pharmaceuticals, and more.

And it’s not just Clinton and Ryan — it’s all of the Establishment politicians. If politics were like NASCAR and politicians were forced to wear uniforms displaying their sponsors’ corporate logos, everyone would see the benefit of supporting Trump.

The corporations are all-in on globalization. The politicians they bankroll are all-in. The mainstream media they own is all-in. Only the pesky American people aren’t all-in, and that’s why anti-Trumpism is a multi-polar onslaught. He’s dangerous because he’s a rogue politician who only answers to the voters.

Witness the London-bridge-is-falling-down reaction to the U.K.’s Brexit vote. European elites moaning, asking each other: How can Britain possibly survive without bureaucrats in a foreign country making decisions for them? It seems to be a foreign concept to many in Europe that when liberty is at stake, sometimes all you can do is dissolve those pesky political bands which connected you with another. It’s not the first time it’s happened in the course of human events. David Cameron may be the first casualty of the pro-sovereignty movement, but he won’t be the last.

STEP FIVE: Don’t be Trump-shamed. The mainstream media, the liberal media, half the conservative media, social media, and the blogosphere are doing their best to poison the Trump well. He’s a racist, xenophobic, gender-biased, mansplaining muggle. Ninety percent of the American media is controlled by six corporations who are going to pound on Trump non-stop, but their best interests are anathema to the best interests of the average American. Tune out the doom and gloom.

STEP SIX: Get your #Brexit on and understand that the November election is the American referendum on globalization. You’ll either be voting to protect American sovereignty or to keep whittling it away.

STEP SEVEN: Push him back on the rails when he goes off message. Because you can’t hold him accountable if you’re #NeverTrump, but you can if you’re #MaybeTrump.

Follow these steps, and you may find that most of the 13 million people who chose Trump as the nominee aren’t toothless, off-the-grid, hillbilly protectionists but vigilant watchdogs of American sovereignty.
