The Challenge for Conservatives in a Post-Trump World
Daily Signal ^ | 1/18/2021 | Lee Edwards

Posted on 01/19/2021 6:29:50 AM PST by Onthebrink

We often hear calls for national unity when presidents are inaugurated. And we’re sure to hear them again, despite the fact that we are still divided, red and blue, liberal and conservative, coastal city and heartland town.

But we should not despair. We’ve been divided since the birth of the republic, when the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, the Hamiltonians and the Jeffersonians, fiercely debated our form of government. In the end, guided by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, we came together.

It’s hard to “unify” with communists who engage in constant identity politics and censorship.

Please watch this short video.

This Leftist idiot Don Winslow is proposing an army of left-wing Stasi snitches to track down and report “domestic terrorists” aka Trump supporters.

This idiot is literally spraying gasoline over smoldering embers.

If you want to ignite CW2, aka Weimar vs Yugoslavia X Rwanda, this is how you do it.

Except for one small problem: The people now coming into power to not give one iota about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or anything other than their own ideologies, likely gotten from Marx, Lenin, and/or Satan.

If they could, they’d burn all those documents on national television.

Coming together? My ass.

Once upon a time, Americans shared a common love for their country and desired to protect and advance its interests. We simply disagreed about the means of doing so.
But the current crop of Leftists despise the very idea of America and see to destroy it.
So ‘unity’ can go eff itself.

The difference, of course, is that we have never before had a usurper government following a coup.

Usurper Joe will never have my support.

See Tagline. Democrats would throw the Constitution in the trash in a heartbeat as a quaint and useless document.

You are correct. The author is in denial.

Even the use of the word Conservative makes me cringe.
What has been conserved?

A Conservative is apparently somebody who complains uselessly on the internet while the country is raped and given away to the highest bidder by people who should have been dead by now.

That is all I see.

We need a new party now!

Yep. It’s sad to see that denial throughout the so-called conservative media.

Usurper 1 is on the throne and he’s naked.
