I hope the OP is correct. That Trump 47 will be the restoration of the constitutional republic. But we know damn well that the long knives are being sharpened and the legal briefs prepared to stop Trump on day one.
51% cannot run roughshod over the other 49%. That’s what the electoral college is for. Add the judicial branch-constitution.
The left would be fine with the 51%. 2 new states-4 senators. Don’t forget packing the SCOTUS.
Their intentions are there for all to see. Starve the beast-doable? Can we starve it with our 51%? Start with the border wall & deportations-executive decisions. If entire departments cannot be eliminated or cut we’re just wasting our time. I say start with 100% school choice. A 1% income tax and tariffs to pay for a gutted government. One day sections using paper only. We may not keep the house thereby it becomes a waste of time.
I agree. While I hate using this as a parallel, America has stage 4 pancreatic cancer, it can be treated, but the cure will never come.
While it might label me as faux conservative, I prefer being pragmatic. Trump will not be in the WH again, alive or dead. If by some divine intervention he does make it. The Rino’s, if the Reps hold the majority (which they won’t) will keep him bottled up.
IMHO
It’s been my belief for a while, now, that God allowed the evil that is the Biden administration, in order to drive us into a position of need, that put us on our knees before Him. Though not everyone was driven to prayer and repentance, enough have been to make a difference. Sometimes God allows bad things to happen, when it changes people enough to glorify Him and change the world. (See Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah, Joseph, Moses, and the crucifixion of Jesus).
I’m all for the optimistic point. There will indeed be a reaction to the 2020 steal, and a Trump seasoned by his first term will be more effective. But we shouldn’t forget that the 2020 theft also saddled us with enormous debt and spending problems, robbed us of our savings, set us upon the road to another round of hyperinflation (it’s already hitting producer commodities like steel), brought in 10+ million illegal aliens including many criminals, advanced the transfer of power to unelected bureaucrats, etc. We are in a deep well — it’s going to be a heck of a job climbing out.
I’ve posted this here for a couple of years - it was a GOOD thing PDJT ‘lost’ in 2020. In the panic to keep him out forever, all of those corrupt establishment slimes that he was a threat too thought they would be safe by collectively exposing themselves as swamp creatures because, together, there’s no way PDJT would survive politically, criminally, or physically. They would then remain in office and everything can go back to the plan.
Yet here he his. The panic rhetoric about “WWIII” and “dictator!”, the assassination attempts, etc., is merely a reaction to what they know is coming if/when he wins in 2024.
I don’t think they can fraud their way out of this one. My fear though, these people know all their marbles are on the table and they’re 100% selfish, they’d take the country down with them in the blink of an eye - 2025 could be an absolute disaster. From the port strikes to every swamp leader in every department of State, chaos will be conjured up, every lever the D’s, RINO’s, and ‘never Trumpers’ will be pulled. The beast will not go down quietly, especially as PDJT knows exactly - at least far more clearly - who they are and where the corruption lies, starting with the FBI, DOJ, and DHS.
I say start with
The battle will be fought on many fronts. We cannot just watch Trump.
We all need to do at least a little thing for the cause.
If I shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask what you are fighting for, after you reach for your gun, what do you tell me?
We all need clear vision, Trump does. MAGA. Trump’s “fight, fight, fight” shows us his heart. What is ours?
Can’t be dismissed out of hand, certainly.
We definitely are far better off with Vance in the #2 position, as a potential MAGA heir, than we were with the poltroon Pence.
Why? Why would you ever have thought it was a "crazy idea"? It's been staring you in the face for years, if not decades.
Once upon a time in 2012, I evaluated 4,442 essays submitted by elementary-school students. I can’t divulge the prompt — that’s a trade secret protected by ferocious blood oaths. To loosely paraphrase, though, it was — “Which public figure do you respect most?”
As may be expected, 25-35% of the kids respected Barack or Michelle.
The number of Romney admirers was much easier to count. One (1). NOT 1%. Not even 42 of those kids could muster up any enthusiasm for Mitt.
At that point, I knew that the fight was fixed, the game was rigged, and the previously-selected candidate had already been chosen to win. And Mitt Romney had volunteered to serve as the chump, the patsy, the LOSER.
And if Trump does make it into the WH again, there is the entrenched swamp, bolstered by absolutely corrupt judges in courts which have ready-made convictions for those who won’t comply.
It is a system ripe for tearing down. To the ground.

Neither Michelle or Barack had ever done anything impressive in their lives.
So who manufactured the illusion that they deserve respect?
The media-lie-system is the greatest threat this nation faces. It fabricates illusions for the purpose of putting corrupt people into the government, who then make sure the money gets sent to all the right pockets.
There is a corruption cartel known as the "government/industrial complex", and the Democrat party is public face of this crime syndicate. The media-liars are just a tool for them to gain power, and they gain power just to enrich the cartel.
Burn it down, but can you imagine the POS a modern crafted constitution would be?
I remember how happy I was when Reagan won. I thought it was the beginning of a better America. That the seriously commie faction was in the rear view window.
Sadly no.
I’d so love for Trump to be a harbinger of a better new electorate but I don’t know.
As for Overton windows, I might hope that the extreme bias of the Fake News and the illegitimacy of the medical establishment have been exposed, anyway. So the windows may have moved “to the right” in these areas.
I agree, the 4 years of break, allowed the losers to surface. Pompeo, should be shining horseshoes in Kentucky.
After the Inauguration of 2025, it will be the last election for the Republic. The Dems will control all by the next go around. If I were Trump, I would move to purge all who don’t believe in the Constitution from office. From pipefitter in a Naval Shipyard, to Senator and USSC. I wouldn’t leave office until that is true, even if he has to use the military to do it. Use government power shutter big media. They are not needed. Citizen journalists fill the need better, faster and without being Kings and Queens.
