The Establishment Is Trying to Divide and Conquer MAGA
American Thinker ^ | 9 Nov, 2022 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 11/09/2022 4:13:18 AM PST by MtnClimber

As we venture forth down the 2024 road to the White House, do not forget that the Establishment's most important goal is to obliterate MAGA.

There are videos making the rounds showing President Trump standing on stage in Miami's pouring rain while imploring Americans to get out and vote. The metaphor is striking. There's Trump, battling the elements, lively as ever, refusing to give up, insisting on finishing what he's started. Citizen Free Press appropriately notes that "President Trump is truly a force of nature."

I know that the months ahead will make for some spirited political debate among friends, but I encourage you to cement in your minds this quintessential image of Trump unbroken and unbowed. Whatever else can be said about the man (and there is plenty), he remains the only leader in our times unafraid to stand alone. When other self-proclaimed allies run the other way or look for somewhere safe to weather the approaching storm, Trump stands inside the tempest, demanding that it give up and surrender. That's something that will forever separate him from those who pretend to be him.

It has become normal to deconstruct Trump's public appeal to something as basic as he fights! Yet it is not just that Trump fights; it is why he fights that has attracted such a diverse voting coalition unlike any other political movement today.

Consider the Republican Party's consensus issues before Donald Trump descended the golden escalator and changed everything. By and large, Republican politicians defended the endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq without question. They ignored the harms of illegal immigration as a taboo issue equated with racism. And they dismissed discussion of revitalizing American industry and manufacturing as unrealistic in a globalist system where cheap slave labor is plentiful overseas.

That’s just Trump being Trump…..ie asserting that he’s the boss, etc.

DeSantis has told those close to him and said openly he will not run against Trump in 2024. This is the RINOs and Democrats trying to split MAGA.

Trump launching attacks on Republican candidates in the middle of an election is the final straw. What is he thinking?

Trump celebrating O'Dea's loss to the Democrat is...stunning. It's not all about Trump for me - as a citizen, politicians are supposed to work for me, I don't work for them. I wanted Republican control of the House and Senate because, as bad as even the RINOs are, they're still less destructive than Democrats. What is Trump thinking when he cheers a Republican losing and goes after DeSantis for backing that Republican?

What, because I have not sworn undying fealty to your Lord Master Trump?

I swear undying fealty to NO man.

I want conservatism to WIN, not to march over the cliff with Trump, flags flying.

Just disappointed. Thought you would, of all, Hold the line, never kill the Lion.

Trump is Now. He will bring De Santis with him, for sealing the future. Fake feud. They are positively identical. Think about it.😚

Sorry, I'm after results, not marching in blind lockstep behind someone whose time has past, and who is only running now because of his galaxy-size ego.

You’re dazed.

“Less destructive” is one Low Bar for a patriot.

Today, the day after Election Day 2022, it's a bar we are struggling to get over. A US Senate with this RINO O'Dea would still be better than a US Senate with his Democrat opponent. I get that - I'm not clear on why Trump doesn't get it.

Oh, brother. Over the top much? Nobody is saying that. Your words make me think your past posts were insincere. I would think you of all people epuld know that DiDantis is the estsblishmentbpick. That’s why Newsom, who is likely running, is in ad war w/RDS. They WANT him to run. Why does Newsom abd the Democrats AND Ryan, McCarthy, etc. AND the MSM want him as the opponent as well? Could it be because he is one if them? Could be because they have dirt on him (I think this was what Trump was referring to when he said he knows things about RDS—if he knows them so does the others), is it that they know they can beat him??? Maybe focus on now and tge Governorships. Congressional seats and Senate seats that haven’t been decided yet before we throw in the towel.

I thought originally when DeSantis ran for re-election, the Rats would throw everything they could at him, and therefore, if DeSantis won, he’d be bulletproof.

But I definitely think they held back and pretty much conceded it to DeSantis without much of a fight.

See my other posts about how RDS is hated by Dems and Independents because of Covid. He won’t bring anyone to this side. I like him thus far, but that aspect and his closeness with the establishment worries me.

I worry that he has been anointed the Deep State pick. Time will tell, but I’m keeping my antenna up.

Zinc was available to everyone.

Start a class action suit against MSM for malpractice. You have to have lost a business or have a death in the family due to purposeful disinformation disseminated by MSM for standing in court. Heck, MSM wouldn't even allow Trump or anyone to say Wuhan Virus.

You’re deluding yourself. If Democrats had beaten Trump fairly, I’d agree with you. But we cannot allow their fraud to determine who we pick as our candidate.

The Democrat fraud machine is not going to stop if Desantis is the nominee. The RINOs are not going to suddenly start being conservative.

It will just go back to Republicans being polite losers. The RINOs will support Desantis only long enough to damage Trump. They’d prefer to divide conservatives just as much as Democrats would. Then they can put forward their “uniter” which will be some establishment pick.

Let Desantis continue doing a great job in Florida. Plenty of time for him to run for president in the future.

This article hits the nail on the head.

Things are never what they seem. Trump was a threat, and the threat wasn’t to who gets to abort a baby or won’t get their SSN.

The threat was much more. First there was energy. Then there was policy. Why did some ex military, the Dems, and the news media go nuts when he pulled out of Syria? Enough to take a fire in Ky, fake it was in Syria. No conflicts for four years. Imagine that. The well was drying up wasn’t it? When did a Dem or the MSM ever care about more boots on the ground in Syria?

And what was next on his list? Pharmaceuticals.

I do t disagree with you, but I will say this:

Of all the states Trump lost in 2016, the one DeSantis has the best chance of winning is probably New Hampshire.

However, he is going to face the reality that PA, MI and WI are not likely to vote for him. Does the electoral math work for him?

Well, it worked—Like the Tea Party, the MAGA Movement is done—gone, dead. It was a noble idea and a cool slogan—but just that. Its just a hat folks. America is lost and will never find her way home. Soon there will be world war and mass death. The foes of freedom won last night. The Rinos, Anti-Trumpers and Democrat/Greens will sway the Nation into a horror of war and poverty. In 1940, The English called Paris—the answer was “All is lost, we are defeated.” My advise for Americans to survive the next five years.
1. Learn to speak Chinese.
2. Become a Democrat and spout the Party Line.
3. Go to College and memorize the leftist mantra.
4. Get a valuable degree in Wokism.
5. Change your sex.
6. Burn your US Flag and buy a Chinese flag to fly when the People’s Army comes in to clean out MAGA Nazis.
Can you tell, I am a bit depressed. I believe Nothing can save America now. Rush Limbaugh is dead, Trump a bad joke, and the future is with the Heroic Democrat corruption machine for the rest of Americas future.
