At CPAC, Trump Doubles Down on Populism
American Thinker.com ^ | March 2, 2021 | Jeffrey Folks

In his CPAC speech on Sunday, former president Trump articulated a populist vision for the future of the Republican Party and for America. At the heart of the president's thinking lies a powerful message of hope for America's working people. Unlike the Democrats' idea of governance by and for the elite, Donald Trump believes in the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution — the principles of equality, opportunity, and unalienable rights.

These principles did not vanish with the 2020 election, nor has President Trump. The conflict between the elitist and populist vision of America is the most crucial social and political issue of our time. I believe that the 2020 election was stolen because the political elite realized they could not defeat President Trump in a fair fight. Trump's populist vision is shared by at least 74 million Americans, and likely by far more. If the fraud can be contained, 2022 and 2024 will be victorious elections for the GOP and for populism in America.

Declaring that his political journey is "far from over" and hinting that he may be the GOP presidential candidate in 2024 (and ruling out a third-party run), President Trump laid out the policy differences between his and President Biden's administrations. For most watching the speech, Trump's policies on immigration, job creation, constitutionalism, and foreign policy are clearly superior to those of Biden and Democrats in Congress. A CPAC straw poll revealed that 95% of those voting wished to see Trump's policies and agenda advanced.

Eh, Trump—and all our supposed favorite MAGA guvs—right now are completely in on the great Gates vaccine push: endless jabs that will be de facto required for Americans to work, shop, step outside, congregate, eat out, retain assets, get healthcare, etc., etc.

It is the CCP/globalist uniparty at this point.

I saw somewhere yesterday that Trump’s CPAC speech had over 31 MILLION views online. I’m sure there will be more over the coming days.

During the campaign and since, I refused to watch any news about the election, inauguration or Biden.

Yesterday-for what reason I don’t know maybe to be fair and see if they came to their senses, I surfed past the local news people without the ‘mute’ on.

The painted floosy who was covering President Trump’s CPAC speech said ... “Trump repeated the lie that he won the election...”

1.) That is very typical of their ‘coverage’
2.) I’ll NEVER extend them the ‘olive branch’ again
3.) I’m SO mad at myself now that I won’t talk to myself all day

Let’s dig down in that number

31 million views........

How many individuals constitute a single streaming view?

At my house one view = two viewers.

Keep pounding on policy issues and stress differences.
Stop name calling.

The purpose is not pounding

The purpose is to present pertinent news for which Free Republic is sorely lacking
