The Establishment GOP Still Does Not Understand the Patriot Movement...and Never Will
American Thinker ^ | 26 Feb, 2021 | Laureen Lipsky

Anything less than maintaining a patriot mandate will not bode well politically for the current Republican leadership.

Recently on FOX News's Hannity show, Ari Fleisher, a self-described member of the establishment GOP, weakly attempted to placate both sides of the fractured Republican Party. He emphatically pleaded the argument that the establishment needs to respect the patriot wing, and the patriot side needs the establishment to know how to pass laws. I am sure I was joined in a collective double-take upon hearing Mr. Fleischer's disconnected reasoning.

Since 2008, the Republican Party has been in a political downfall. Each political cycle, the self-lauded establishment GOP overwhelmingly endorsed weak candidates across the board — Presidential, congressional, and state-level. It is as if the party of Lincoln wants to aid the Democrat party in weakening America, both domestically and internationally. Everyone knows that in 2016, an outsider defeated 16 establishment types, and thus, the patriot era emerged with an enthusiasm not seen before in politics. A reformed and inclusive party of the people emerged under the GOP umbrella.

For four years, President Trump and the Republican members of Congress worked steadily to pass America First policies. Yet it was President Trump, buoyed by his mandate from patriots, who pushed the establishment GOP to succeed, to stand politically taller, and to finally have a backbone. The media falsely labeled the new GOP the "party of Trump," and thus, it was erroneous to conclude that once President Trump "lost" due to a fraudulent election, the Republican Party would retain the same level of support it enjoyed for four years yet be able to backtrack to its pre-2016 ways.

The GOP has not been in a downslide since 2008. It has always been inhabited by many two faced politicians who deserve to be tarred and feathered by their constituents.

Ari buddy....the ENTIRE problem with the GOP is that they SEE a “Patriot wing” and their response to that has been, for decades now, to try to pretend its a minority illusion or a bad dream.

Its a very bad dream for the Deep State and the Deep State “wing” of the GOP

I recall reading a story here some years back in which Karl Rove claimed that he had always been for Reagan in 1980, but it was then discovered he instead was working to win the 1980 nomination for GHWB.

Ari. When the patriots are being repeatedly back stabbed by the ‘establishment republicans’ then it behoves the patriots to long longer kick at the football from the Lucy republicans. Their true colors have been shown and patriots are no longer fools.

For a very long time, the GOP Establishment have been traitors who have the job of only pretending to resist the Democrat/globalist agenda.

“He emphatically pleaded the argument that the establishment needs to respect the patriot wing, and the patriot side needs the establishment to know how to pass laws. I am sure I was joined in a collective double-take upon hearing Mr. Fleischer’s disconnected reasoning.”

For those who may not know - in DC as well as pretty much all levels of governments, there is an army of lawyers whose job it is to translate what the elected representative wants, into a bill which can sustain court challenges (at least to the extent possible). That’s why, in 1994, when Newt’s bunch took over the House, they had no trouble getting everything passed in his “Contract with America”.

In other words, there is literally NO NEED for GOPe types in DC to get laws passed, and Ari full-well knows it. We’re being lied to, yet again.

Oh, the GOP-E understand it alright, they just can’t square it with their desire to line their pockets with Chinese and Corporate money.

It is the party that looked after big business after we became the worlds’ unchallenged power. The world has changed. The Establishment GOP hasn’t except to get stupider.

That’s the thing! Democrats literally HATE math, which is why they’re so into the arts and shit. But Republicans tend to be the smarter people when it comes to math.

So, I have yet to hear how Kasich, McConnell, Murkowski, the Gay Mafia (Lincoln Project), or anyone else plans to position the GOP where it will be able to compete against the Democrats without the 90% of its base which supports Trump. With those 90% gone (either to a third party or not voting at all), what’s left of the GOP will be lucky to outvote the Libertarians.

The GOP downfall began in 1988.
Under Clinton, the Democrats learned that all they need to do is control the media.
Thus “Media Matters” was born.
Now every media organization is managed and controlled by radical Democrats.

“If its not reported, it never happened” is now the law of the land.

What is it with articles that start out with the false premise that some group or individual is/are just ignorant of a universally know fact or concept?

In effect it gives the subject of the article an undeserved break and would appear to be an effort to give an excuse for the subject’s bad , and most of the time, evil choices.
