It’s Time for Republicans to Reimagine and Reinvent Themselves
American Thinker.com ^ | December 2, 2020 | Ray Anthony

Posted on 12/02/2020 5:04:09 AM PST by Kaslin

Assuming the two Georgia Republicans get elected to the Senate in January, we’ve dodged a bullet for the time being. However, I believe the Republicans absolutely need to boost their strength, popularity and grow into a greater force over the next two-four years to thwart the destructive efforts of their hostile adversaries over the long term. How can they leverage winning the House and Senate in the next election and set the pace and probability for future victories?

While the Republicans just made some impressive gains in the House (especially with new women elected), I believe it’s vital for the party to reinvigorate and creatively transform itself to better lock in current supporters while getting lots more minorities, younger people, independents and wavering Democrats on their side. It won’t be easy when structural and behavioral change is warranted. Here are my recommendations:

One: Fight like hell. This is no time to be conciliatory, appeasing, timid, naïve, passive, or especially compromising when the radical, “take-no-prisoners” side of Democrats want to take away our freedoms, squash the Constitution and strive toward a one-party dictatorship with a socialist/communist agenda. The GOP needs to unrelentingly counter these efforts and do everything in their power to vigorously fight, disrupt and aggressively resist the onslaught of the far left and their supporters. At this desperate time, we can’t afford the slightest hint of business as usual. Those dangerous, delusional, and defiant revisionists are now true enemies of the state and our cherished traditions and way of life. Republicans must be on a smart, well-executed strategic war footing because of the unprecedented situation we are facing now. This requires a full coordinated series of knockout counterpunches. It’s take the gloves off time, get the wrecking ball rolling, and release the Kraken.

The Repubs are USELESS.

Defended by Pres. Trump, the did and DO NOTHING
to protect him or their voters.

They deserve decimation, at least.

If President Trump remains a Republican, then I might support other R candidates. But at this point I hope he starts the MAGA Party, and down ticket candidates might want to board the train rather than be run over by it.

One thing everyone in the remaining free states needs to be doing is calling their state reps and asking them what they are going to do to protect their state from the crap tsunami that will soon be rolling down from the northeast. If the response is crickets, then the next thing out of your mouth should be “secession” because if Trump doesn’t get this, there will be no 2024.

Get rid of RINOmneys and the like. We don’t need spineless marshmallows. We need fighters who actually believe in what they are doing.

Republicans had a very good elections on all levels including the presidential where President Trump clobbered Biden.
At the state legislature level, we totally crushed the Dems including taking over the lower and upper leglislatures plus the Executive Council in deep blue New Hampshire and increasing our majorities in countless state leglislatures.
Going forward, our number one priority is to destroy the Dem ruled, deep blue, big city crime enclaves of Philadelphia Detroit Milwaukee and Atlanta which have become the ballot fraud capitals of America.
One way or another, we've got to crush these fake ballot manufacturing centers.
We need to start putting brain power into that starting right now.
Number one priority.

Reimagine? Like the massive campaign that Trump ran and wiped out the democRATS? Oh but then there is the rat fraud that is allowed in this country. Ratfraud that about sums it up!

“Assuming the two Georgia Republicans get elected to the Senate in January”

Dubious assumption.

The GOP needs to give up trying to recruit more black voters and go back to its largest base: Working Class Whites.

David Cole explains well here, on Taki:

The president increased his share of all other demographic groups—hell, even Jews—but he lost whites. A lot of whites.

That is funny, isn’t it? Recall how accommodating China Mitch was to Obama. And that was with a GOP House and no four year old too list from the Chamber of Commerce. The swamp is back in business if the steal goes through and no amount of happy talk with change that fact.

If a political party can't protect the vote it is useless. It becomes a toothless, permanent minority party.

There will simply no reason to vote for that party no matter how scary the other party is. Voting becomes a hopeless act of self-delusion.

No.

The party that won all 27 “toss up” elections does not need to reinvent themselves.

The party whose Presidential candidate received 10,000,000 more votes in his 2nd race does not need to reinvent itself.

What we need to do better is fight voter fraud.
