“I’ve been in the habit for many election cycles of telling people when they asked me how important the election was, I would always say it’s the most important election since the last one and will be the most important one until the next one. I think this may be a little different here … this election is different. This is big, no doubt.” - Brit Hume
If you’re a Trump supporter, this election cycle so far has been sort of like sitting down to watch your favorite college football team play a much-anticipated game against a hated rival. You’ve got friends over, popcorn popped, nachos, drinks, the works. Big screen blaring in the man-cave, excitement in the air. The kick-off happens and you settle in for a few hours of football bliss with your friends. Then, your all-thumbs kickoff-return man fumbles the ball, which the other team recovers for a touchdown. “OK, we can come back from this,” you think. But down 7-0, your QB wants it all back on the next possession, nay the first throw of the next possession, which then gets picked off and promptly returned for a pick-six. (I’m a Tennessee fan, y’all. I’m used to scenarios like this.)
Two more sloppy possessions and a porous defense and you’re down 28-0 and it’s not even halftime. Suddenly, the pizza is cold. The beer is warm. The nachos don’t taste so good. Your friends want to leave, and the party you’d looked forward to for so long looks more like a funeral parlor scene than an epic evening with friends. You turn the channel or go outside to do some yard work - anything to get your mind off what’s happening to the team you love. Maybe you check the score in an hour, but your evening’s been ruined. Your disappointment might even turn to anger at your team or at least the players or coaches who screwed up or didn’t seem to try hard enough. “You can take a loss, but at least fight,” you tell them in your mind. “At least make a game of it. At least make the time I spent rooting for you worthwhile.”
Before you dismiss me as a Chicken Little (and if you do, believe me I hope you’re right and I’m wrong), consider a sobering discussion Fox News host Tucker Carlson had with Brit Hume last week. After analyzing the part of Joe Biden’s unveiled Marxism-lite plan that includes the legalization of at least 22 million illegal immigrants currently living in the U.S., Carlson asked Hume if it was “fair to say no Republican could ever win a national election at least in the foreseeable future?”
“I think that’s a reasonable assumption in the foreseeable future, and it wouldn’t take 22 million,” Hume told Tucker. “Let’s say the number were half that. 11 million new voters, the overwhelming majority of whom would vote for the Democrat, would keep the Democrats in power in the White House for sure for several election cycles at least.”
Beyond the electorate change, which would be bad enough, Hume and Carlson covered two other things Democrats could do quite easily with simple majorities in both Houses - abolish the filibuster (something the normally solid Mitch McConnell didn’t have the guts to do) and make the District of Columbia a state. If Democrats win in November and accomplish this trifecta in the next two years, in the words of Tucker Carlson, “we are headed at very high speed toward effectively a one-party state at least for the foreseeable future.”
In other words, the presidential and Senatorial elections about to take place in November 2020 are by far the most important elections of our lifetimes, and it’s truly not even close. Trump’s 2016 victory and judicial nominations bought us some time and maybe even the ability to fight back on some fronts going forward, but a November loss could be a permanent game over for national conservative governance of any kind.
As to Trump’s much-needed upping of his game, Hume wondered if the president “can stop talking about himself long enough to talk about something else and talk about their agenda and his message.” I sure hope so, because what’s at stake is far more important than the president’s ego. Is he up to the task? We’ll see. Like the football game that seems hopelessly out of control in the first quarter, it doesn’t look good so far. But the good news is the Trump campaign is like a few football teams we’ve known over the years. Streaky. Error-prone. Porous D. But damn, that offense can be pretty dynamic at times. Like 2016, it would be a mistake to ever count him out. But no matter what the scoreboard says, conservatives and liberty lovers of all stripes had best do more than his or her part until the clock says zero, or all could be lost forever.
Why not? These are not rational thinkers, these are genocidal zealots. They will never allow a stronghold of “white supremacy” to exist, even if it means destroying them selves in the process.
In California, the top two vote “getters” are almost always two Rats.
This is what is headed our way nationally. The GOP candidate will always end up third.
Puerto Rico statehood was a plank in GHWB’s Presidential electioneering.
Sic semper terroristus. We have to win every time - they only have to win once. See: Virginia. The consequence of playing defense and playing by the rules, when the other side has to qualms.
Without separating, we have one, big, disunited, 50-state mess, half of the population of whom would help the Chinese exploit those beachheads. And I think you know as well as I those treasonous marxists will never face justice.
Amerika is mostly one party now: media, Hollywood, academia, “woke” corporations, schools, government, not much left.
Unemployed if they’re lucky. Taken to camps is a real possibility. Bill Ayers has plans. They’ve done everything but say out loud that they intend to make whites second class citizens de jeur rather than de facto. And even if they said it out loud in as many words, would there be any outrage?
Exactly. Major foreign powers see their ability to manipulate and buy American politicians as one of the cheapest and most effective policy options.
Epstein and The Awan brothers are likely just the ones we have publicly noticed.
Why spend trillions on military force, when a few billion can buy U.S. politicians?
Yes. A Chinese style political system.
The moment the Dems have total electoral control at the national level, they will split. Leftists can’t help but fracture, it’s in their DNA. Within a few years we will see a Democrat party consisting of the usual “moderate” neoliberals and grifters joined by a rump GOP to counterbalance their main competition, the Partido Socialista de los Estados Unidos.
Yep. Heard this morning on Fox that Linda is going to call Robert Mueller to talk in Congress about Roger Stone and his investigation, etc.
WHY? Linda won’t even call the people who committed crimes against the President and lied to Congress but he wants Mueller to come and do a rehash of Roger Stone and how RIGHT AND JUSTIFIED MUELLER WAS?
Could not have said it better. Nailed it.
Agreed. I do however think once Trump is gone the GOP will implode like the Sands Hotel Novemeber 1996. Once Trump is out, I am out of the GOP which is hard because independents have no primary say in my red state.
If they get to rule their own states, how long before they turn into Venezuela? The locust-people would be back in no time flat.
Our society cannot afford to be pluralist anymore. We are faced with people who say “let us burn down the country, or we will burn down the country”. I can’t even imagine the propaganda and terrorism war if we separated. We would have invade them to stop it, and we would be right back to a 50 state mess again.
The problem is your solution or mine will never happen until the economy is destroyed and blood runs in the streets.
btw, when are you guys going to join West Virginia?
I'm all for it; I'd like to see every county except for Richmond and NOVA join WVA, but I'm not in charge.
Well said.
We used to have the one or two RAT signs but not since obamy. Everywhere you look is a Trump sign or flag. Lots of Trump flags.
“Post Trump I will actively try to destroy the GOP.”
Post Trump there will be only be a token opposition party. The article is correct that after the RATS steal this election they will rig the system such that they will never lose again. Combine that with packing the supreme court with leftist judges, demographic changes, college indoctrination, the inevitable banning of guns, and an inescapable surveillance state provided by Google, things are not looking good. The best we can hope for is 4 more years of Trump to hold this off.
What the glovalists really eant is for us to be a “one party” planet.
What the globalists really want is for us to be a “one party” planet.
