Trump was right the one thing that he admires about the Ds is that they stick together

That is an aspect of R's and Patriots which gets in the way of our using the Constitutional Republic as we should. R's may have some who want to act on things such as the Awan debacle while other R's are trying to either CYA or play nice bipartisanship.

In the area of conservative activism this is one of our great hindrances as well. Conservatives are so independant they resist banding together on issues. I've seen people in the state Capitol trying to speak with Legislators on the same goal who will not unite their efforts due to very small details.

Also, Conservatives tend to be "one issue activists." 10 Conservatives each with their own issue, in person speaking to Legislators on a busy day at the Capitol get lost in the shuffle. 10 Conservatives united toward a common goal get noticed. And yet, IRL, the 10 will not unite even when they believe in the goals of the other 9. Their goal is too important and they don't have time to give to anything else.

It's valid that we are the people who work and don't get paid to be activists but it has hit us hard since the left was trained by Saul Alinsky. We must do better and teach the next generation to do better. Even a defeat of the Deep State in our lifetime leaves the next generation to protect the Republic for themselves.

YOU mastered Common Sense and live to report about it. An elegant point well made and worth repeating. It’s the glue to more winning. What you said needs to be a theme for the future. It worked for us in 2016 with Trump, enough by the grace of God, to prove your point. We lost a lot of standard issue Freepers, but by God and country, we’re seeing the world changed for the price we paid. Can you even imagine where we’d be with standard-issue Cruz?

Same with Q, incidentally. Some can get there, but some can’t go to the front lines. “There’s a place for everyone.”

Agreed. That's so myopic and self-defeating--and arrogant. Sigh.
