Victor Davis Hanson examines the resurgence of Trump's influence and what it is a "counter-revolution" against:
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: They call it the "MAGA Revolution." It is not a revolution, it is a counter-revolution. There's a big difference.
This is a restoration, let's use the word restoration.
We don't know or appreciate what we've been through with eight years of the Obama administration and then the third more radical term of Obama using or employing the waxen effigy of Joe Biden.
The revolution that we've experienced was cultural, economic, political, and social. It was very similar to the French Revolution under Robespierre. Remember what they tried to do, they changed the days of the week, they renamed things, they tore down statues, they went after the church. Does this sound familiar?
In this revolution we've experienced, everything was up for sale and everything was negotiable.
We invented a third gender and rammed it down people's throats. We tore down statues. We said 1776 was no longer the foundational date, it was 1619. We changed the very mechanism by which we vote -- we went from 70% of the electorate voting on election day to 70% of the electorate, not doing that either through mail-in or early voting. That was a radical change that had no discussion. It was done by fiat. It was incredible.
We looked at girls' sports and destroyed it. We said that transgender biological males who were now transgender females could compete. They won over 600 medals they took away from hardworking female athletes. We had drag shows among young children.
It was an effort to change the entire constitution, we forget that. They were trying to bring in Puerto Rico as a state and Washington DC to get 4 instant senators.

The Reps must unite to become a voting force. They can start by primarying Murki Murkowsky and Twitchy Collins. They seem to be Dems running as Republicans. The Dems won’t give them campaign funds but Reps do for some reason.
It's a return to common sense. It only looks revolutionary to revolutionaries. But to the rest of the people, it is a counterrevolution to restore normality and bring the country from the far-left fringes back home again.

Bathhouse Berry made stupid white girls go crazy.
I somehow missed that argument. But everything else he brings up had me madder than a wet hen.

Eastwood was right - one day we will realize that the obama regime was the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the country.....
