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.

The Republican establishment and the democRAT establishment do not seem interested in their constituents. Only in their own power. There does not seem to be enough public will to vote them out.
I think free republic posters are trying to divide and conquer MAGA
I agree. There are a lot of leftist subversives on this forum. GOPe Uniparty goons and deluded idiots is what they are.
Some here at FR are doing the same thing.
Trump’s hour has passed, but his galaxy-size ego will not permit him to step aside.
Here is the 2024 win-lose formula in my mind.
1. Every Trump fan will still come out and vote for DeSantis, if DeSantis is the 2024 candidate.
2. Ten million more Rats will come out just to vote AGAINST Trump, if he is the candidate. They won’t be nearly as motivated to come out to vote against DeSantis.
That built-in “hate Trump” Rat vote gives DeSantis the edge.
To the author: "Ya think?"
The establishment and their media tells nothing but lies …..
Hmm, too many people conflating MAGA with one man. Goldwater was the father of the conservative movement. He was sabotaged by the GOPe and lost. The movement? It didn’t die and lived on to have its champions win.
I think you’re delusional. I don’t know a single Democrat who would vote against Trump but would support DeSantis or even stay home if he’s the GOP nominee.
You mean like a former Chicagoan, Ken Griffin of Citadel who just moved to Miami?

Voter ID, finger ink like in India, vote in person only, and paper ballots only. Anything other than that is outright fraud.
It’s working, just read the myriad of elections threads posted on Fr within the past 10-12 hours.......
TDS is an irrational motivator that burns in Rat hearts like a blowtorch.
Every “mean tweet” by Trump relights that burning blowtorch of hate.
It does not exist that way for DeSantis, who is smart enough not to ignite that flame of hate with stupid tweets and statements.
This is a built-in margin for DeSantis compared to Trump in 2024.
Agreed.
They are.
I wonder that people don’t realize that a thread-bare RINO win of Congress was the Democrat’s wet dream.
Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%;
Unemployment low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything
down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine; NATO paid its way;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home the jobs due to tax treatment;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem;
It doesnt help MAGA “unity” when Trump trashes Desantis.
