American Thinker ^

Posted on 12/05/2024 7:08:46 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

Are conservatives willing to make this victory a part of their DNA moving forward? This remains to be seen.

They haven’t had the heart for it in the past, which means the resurgence of America under Trump's leadership will be for naught if conservatives ignore the election’s Achilles Heel and abandon the grassroots movement that secured the victory that delivered us from evil.

Historically, there would be far more than 11 tossup seats at stake in any given House election cycle. It wasn’t unusual to see 25 or 30 of them.

This all changed in 2018, and it was the direct result of the 2017 GOP tax reform bill that capped state and local tax deductions. This mainly screwed wealthy suburban districts surrounding deep “blue” cities. I lived in one such district at the time, and in 2018 the voters of that district elected a Democrat to Congress for the first time since the Civil War. I don’t live there anymore — partly because I expect it will be a “blue” district for the next 50 years.

The “secret” is for the House of Representatives to force votes on issues which force the Democrats to go on record as being insane.

These days it is the transgender issue.

Force lots of votes on transgender issues.

Ignore the “experts” that say it is not important.

Do it anyway.

Then cram the transgender votes down the throats of Democrat incumbents in close congressional districts.

It will doom the Democrats.

Tactics matter.
