aPatheticThat’s how you can best describe post-COVID Republicans: apathetic, depressed, distracted, dejected, and resigned to their fate. Will the assassination attempt on Donald Trump finally be the catalyst that transforms the American right into a devastatingly effective and efficient political movement?
Saturday’s shooting was one of many acts of political violence perpetrated against the right in America over the past decade. From the Family Research Council and Scalise shootings to the assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Black Lives Matter assaults on motorists, it is unmistakable that the left literally wants to kill us. Will we finally match their ideological intensity and work toward their political defeat? Will we finally exercise the power of governance we have in ways the left decries but never actually delivers.
With President Trump on his deathbed, Biden’s apparent unfitness to be president, and unrest across the country, now is the time to act decisively and without compromise.
COVID wasn’t enough to change us; those who hate us created the virus, blocked effective treatments for it, locked us down and robbed us of our dignity, and then released a vaccine that likely killed and maimed millions.
Black Lives Matter and Antifa weren’t enough. An entire political system lied to us about police following their training, made George Floyd into a martyr, and used his death to make our country, culture, economy, and workforce less livable for white people. They burned down neighborhoods and attacked innocent people with impunity, all for the sake of serving the “righteous” ends.
But it didn’t inspire we Take action. We re-elected the same incumbents in 2020 and 2022 as we did in 1996.
January 6th was not enough. The government and media blamed us for what did or did not happen that day, using it as an excuse to criminalize our faith and return us to a pre-Enlightenment government that prosecuted political opponents just months after allowing thousands of rioters to go scot-free for attacking police officers, burning buildings and beating motorists.
And yet we continued to elevate the same incompetent Republicans with no strategy to govern or to compete with new candidates, new ideas, new strategies. Apathy has won again and again.
We have watched both parties work together to ruin our way of life, infiltrate our country with millions of subversives, reverse a generation of progress against violent crime, and indoctrinate a generation of young people with a gender-neutral cultural Marxism that makes the radicals of the 1960s look tame.
What was our answer? We installed people like Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) in leadership, the most pathetic Republican Congress in history, which gave Democrats virtually anything they wanted on every major issue while they continued to prosecute Trump.
Have we learned our lessons? Have we been galvanized by the prosecution of Trump and the persecution of pro-life activists?
No. I re-nominated. One by one The primaries were full of these clowns, and the only incumbent to lose a primary was the Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, sadly at the behest of Trump himself.
We sleep through the primaries and ignore the influence and control Republicans have over states, yet most Republican governors act more like Democrats than Ron DeSantis does.
This time will be different – for us, for the party and for Trump himself.
Most of my colleagues simply suggest that we vote more for Trump. But those who read our content or hear our voices were already prepared to crawl on glass to vote for Trump. This time, we need to do more. We need to take a stand on the playing field of self-governance and use our power and influence to create political killing zones for leftist policies that are as effective as the physical killing zones the left apparently wants to create for us.
exert influence in Republican-leaning states
When we look at the hordes of crazy leftists who resort to political violence, it is clear that we cannot have a country with them. Blue states are irredeemably left-wing, but red states are not a mirror image of the right. There is reason to continue to debate Ron DeSantis, and now perhaps Jeff Landry in Louisiana. But where are the other Republican governors? There are still primaries outstanding, and we need to vote against the status quo Republicans who represent apathy and indifference to the existential threats we face.
We need to elect someone like Missouri Freedom Caucus President Bill Eigel as governor of the “Show Me State,” someone who promises to deport illegal immigrants and make Missouri as inhospitable for the left as California is for the right.
We need to get involved in state legislative conferences, demand more from our elected officials, and threaten them in primaries. In other words, we can’t be saved by simply voting for Trump in the general election and then reverting to Punxsutawney Phil-like indifference every Groundhog Day (just 60 miles east of the site of the assassination attempt). We need to hit the ground running.
November 5th is important, but every day leading up to Election Day is even more important for campaigning.
Calls on House Republicans to declare political war
The political winds to crush the left have never been stronger. With Trump nearing death, Biden clearly unfit to be president, and widespread unrest in the country, now is the time for decisive action and no compromise.
Deny funding to the government unless the borders are closed and funds are put towards the prosecution of Trump. Republicans now control the House and don’t need to wait for an election. So what if the government gets shut down? Keep it shut down until Trump is inaugurated if necessary.
There is no better way to ensure a landslide election victory than to force a dramatic inversion and highlight our biggest problems, and there is no better way to see if the Republican Party is willing to accept big change than to demand that change. nowNot after the election on the first Tuesday in November, but before the election.If I buy a burger today, I’ll happily pay for it on Tuesday.”
Trump must become someone his enemies fear.
The irony of this assassination attempt is that it came just after Trump had reconciled himself to the political establishment like never before. He adopted many liberal policies, watered down its platform, and denounced the policies and personnel plans that make him the very administration the left fears. It’s time for Trump to take the red pill and become that guy. It’s time to embrace all the fantasies about Project 2025 that we want to see come true.
Govern with the same tireless energy and ruthless efficiency that Trump displayed on the campaign trail. Stop compromising with the left and with those in both parties who hate you. Stop giving the Democrats everything they want on policy. Don’t be like Brett Kavanaugh, who was politically assassinated in the most grotesque way, yet sided with the left on key issues, including giving up his seat for free.
If we believe they have crossed a line this time, then we must change our outlook and our strategy. “Fight, fight, fight” should be more than a symbolic act of defiance or a mere bumper sticker slogan. It should be about action, behavior, and To govern.
