As we approach the end of 2020—a year with a deadly pandemic, a crushing economic shutdown, brutal riots, and a contested presidential election—it often feels as though things can’t get any worse.
Yet the political left sees these very moments when the American people are overwhelmed and exhausted as opportunities to push its destructive agenda. It won’t stop promoting socialist climate policies, government-run health care, identity politics, racial division, bending a knee to our worst enemies, and penalties for offending the sensibilities of the woke.
As the threats continue to grow, Americans are feeling anxious. They’re worried about whether America will still look like America two years from now.
That’s why in 2021, conservatives of all stripes must unite and work together in common cause to fight back.
We must put any differences aside to enter the battle immediately in front of us: preventing the takeover of America by the left.
This is not a call for some “Kumbaya” moment. It’s a call to band together to fight against those who are actively working to destroy America as we know it. Conservatives need to remember that, like a sports team, we don’t all have to play the same position, but we all have to play on the same team.
If we don’t stand united, if we become parochial in our thinking, if we let ourselves get distracted while our nation is under attack, we risk letting this great and precious gift we’ve been given slip from our grasp.
It’s OK to disagree among ourselves. Debate is good, because it can often lead to better answers. But to work together means civil discussion and being open to hearing new ideas. It means rejecting the tactics of the left—personal attacks and cancel culture have no place among conservatives. And it means keeping our eyes on the prize: a strong, free, and prosperous America for all Americans.
Those who believe that this country’s founding principles are what gave us the greatest nation on Earth must work together to keep her great. Our future is too important to leave anyone out of the fight.
And we have reason to be optimistic. During the recent elections, the conservative movement made substantial gains, even with Americans who hadn’t traditionally thought of themselves as conservatives before.
Voters rejected the far-left’s agenda in November. Rather than adding to the liberals’ numbers in the House of Representatives, governor’s offices, and even state legislatures, the people sent even more conservatives to office. And in the Senate, conservatives who were supposed to lose by double digits easily fended off left-wing challengers.
In addition, President Donald Trump saw historic gains with a broad coalition of Americans. He increased his percentage of Black, Latino, and Asian-American voters over 2016 despite the media’s attempts to tarnish his image at every turn.
Many of these voters are seeing that the left has gone off the deep end and that conservative policies just work better for everyone. They’ve already seen how cutting taxes and regulations gave rise to the greatest economic expansion in American history, to more and higher paying jobs, and to the lowest unemployment rate in five decades. They saw how conservative policies made America energy independent, proving that energy costs and gas prices don’t always have to go up.
They saw how conservatives prioritized veterans’ care and worked to rebuild our national defenses against increasing threats around the world to protect our families and our freedoms. And they found that their children performed better and were happier when they were free to choose schools that best met their children’s needs.
While these and other gains are undeniable, a long list of left-wing politicians, activists, and public officials are ready to roll most of them back without a moment’s hesitation.
That’s why, just as the conservative movement is building, 2021 is no time to take a break, to retreat, or to go off in our own separate corners. We must not fail in our duty to combine our efforts into a whole that’s greater and more powerful than the sum of its parts.
We must unite in common purpose against those who mean this nation harm. We must fight for those principles that gave us the freest, most prosperous nation on Earth. And we must fight to fulfill the promises of our forefathers and to pass on to our children and our children’s children a nation that’s at least as free as the one we inherited.
History and the infinite sacrifices of those who came before us have left that sacred obligation in our hands. America and her generations yet to come deserve no less than our fullest commitment to seeing it through.
JANUARY SIXTH, SEE YOU IN DC!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2020
Twitter is shadow banning like never before. A disgrace that our weak and ineffective political leadership refuses to do anything about Big Tech. They’re either afraid or stupid, nobody really knows!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2020
Uh, be cooperative and decent? No, that’s not it. Hmmmmm.
“They’re either afraid or stupid, nobody really knows!—”
I’ll go with afraid and stupid, Alex for $1000.
Either the “conservative movement” successfully resists the globalist agenda of the vile American traitors who have fraudulently seized power or there will soon not be a “conservative movement” or an American nation.
“We must put any differences aside to enter the battle immediately in front of us: preventing the takeover of America by the left.”
Wee bit late here.
Maybe if the cucks and RINOs had not been so committed to the Swamp an opposed to President Trump?
As it stands, he’s their last hope and they’re still fighting him.
DEALING WITH INVASION 19
A BIDEN WIN WOULD BE AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR USING COVID 19
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.
Americans better WISE UP/
Key swamp demons were making fortunes when they allowed US companies in a number of industries including pharma, computer; and electrical as well metal fabrication components even bicycles relocate their factories in China . To the point where China was our sole supplier. The money the CCP has now comes from US .If we play our Chinese checkers right we can really turn things around for the better not only here but in China as well.Check out this recent posting in Free Republic.com which the MSM and social venues will spike; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3890312/posts. Which will disappear when Biden take over but make Walmart very happy.
No, cooperative and decent, wow toss in civil as well...
Nope, I agree
No dang way are the above listed pacifying words in anyone’s mind.
😱😂🆒
How are conservatives supposed to be united when they don't agree on major issues?
GOPe, Conservatism Inc., AEI, Heritage Foundation, Chamber of Communism, Neocons, and libertarians want open borders and unrestricted trade with China. How has that worked for us?
Populist and paleoconservatives want a complete halt to illegal immigration and either a temporary halt or severe limitations to legal immigration and H-1b type programs. We are also OK with tariffs and trade restrictions to countries that are avowed enemies.
How do we conservatives square that circle?
Who is supposed to agree with whom?
TPUSA go away!
America First! Groyp, groyp, groyp!
The fake conservatives need to get on board with Michelle Malkin, Nick Fuentes, and the like and then we can talk about a united front.
I can sum it up succinctly.
Put the fear of god into the RINOs.
Make them too fearful of what will happen I the next two primaries should they roll over, surrender and try to make deals with the Democrats or confirm Biden appointments in the next two years.
Given Republican victories in a lot of state races, we’ll gain a big advantage when it comes to redistricting. That, and the usual backlash against the party in the White House all but ensures we’ll flip the House in 2022. We’ve got a good shot to pick up seats in the Senate too (eg Mark Kelly in Arizona). We need to primary several RINOs then. Murkowski, Liz Cheney, Rubio, Thune and Mumbai Mike Lee all come to mind.
