I am not worried about 2022, The GOP will take the house and senate. What I worry about is what they do with it.
As we should. I’m convinced from personal experience, that we MUST require endorsed candidates at the local level especially, have a “kitchen cabinet” or some other advisory group of supporters to help them stay grounded.
From the moment a conservative gets elected until the entrenched shadow government commies turn them, the conservative is under constant pressure. The newbie gets sent to conferences supposedly to learn the rules of the position and the like. Instead the conferences are Delphi Process manipulation groups designed to convert you or ostracize you.
Then there’s the little perks that the rest of us serfs will never get…parking here, keys to back doors there and “special” little things that help separate the elected from the constituency. The newbie also gets placed on certain boards and committees because of the position. Not to mention financial “advice” they get for being an elite.
It takes a rock solid individual to withstand that kind of pressure. If conservatives used an advisory committee or kitchen cabinet of trusted advisors for politicians and can get the pol to agree with threat of losing support or campaign financing help, I believe we would have better representation.
