For nearly a year the Biden “presidency” -- whoever they are -- has subjected the United States to a destructive revolutionary agenda of unprecedented scope and virulence, all of it arising out of an irrational civilizational death wish for which there is no historical parallel.
No more than a small minority of Americans knowingly voted for this.
Given safety from reprisal, large majorities of the electorate would reject both the underlying unhinged beliefs and the ruinous policies and goals that have been promoted since Biden and his opaque gang took office.
Here’s an incomplete list of the reality-averse ideas and suicidal policies that America’s ruling revolutionaries have promulgated and pursued since January 20, 2021:
***
These lunatic beliefs and goals -- only a partial list – amount to the most astonishing embrace of guaranteed civilizational extinction in the history of government. And their promulgation by the highest powers in the United States has been in high gear for almost a year.
It can’t be said strongly or often enough, that the destructive madness now passing as federal ideology and policy amounts to an unprecedented revolution more profoundly radical than any other in human history. ***
*** Whatever the long, medium, and short term causes, the coup has happened and the revolution is in progress. We are now in the midst of it, and the only question worth asking is how, if at all, a counterrevolution of sanity can be mounted and succeed.
Surprisingly, there is real hope. That hope lies in two stubborn centers of resistance that remain: nearly 50% of the American electorate, judging by the 2016 and 2020 elections; and the Republican Party.

During primary season, that is, now, vote to get rid of the RINO's. Contribute to individual candidates and not the Party. But when the primaries are over, always vote Republican, no matter how bad the candidate is. Because the Democrat is always worse.
I think the party, if it is to survive, needs a real statement of principles. Defense of Borders, America First, Smaller Government — not larger government. Individual candidates should promise to defend these principles and should agree that they will NOT compromise these principles to “make deals” with the Communists.
“Well, I just couldn't let them shut down the government, that would be so awful. That's why I agreed to spend $10T on transgender studies, tear down the Wall in Texas, and send most of our oil to China at a cut-rate price. I didn't like the deal, but I felt I had no choice.”
Let's stop doing stuff like that. Let's have principles and let's stick to them.
If we don't then we really are Assistant Democrats.
For the past 30 years the RINO's keep on saying don't leave the party, stay and work to improve it. Well when does it start to get better? I supported the 'R' party for the better part of 50 years now and it has only grown worse. Not since Goldwater have I seen a party worth fighting for any longer.

This started with Republican leadership under fauci. Lockdowns, the stripping of individual freedoms. Republicans led us into this.
Bur hey, no bumpstocks.
Lately I’ve been racking my brain for legislative approaches to countering communism. When the Democrats are voted out, what can we do to cripple the leftist’s power base? The universities are an obvious target. The funding of all these communist organizations is another... need to reign in all the massive endowments like Tide, Ford Foundation, etc that have been taken over by the commies. The third leg of the stool is the free speech side. The libertarian hands off approach towards the internet media monopolies has been a huge failure. Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc must be forced to stop censoring us. These are all good, but I feel like there is something more fundamental to be done.
One of many groups recognizing that we’re in a civil war of sorts and ready to fight. https://americanfirebrand.com/ Started by the Chairman of the Board of the Claremont Institute.
There are many groups and projects and hopefully they’ll start networking like the myriad of leftist non-profits. We need our own Soros type to fund us.
Many MAGA type people are infiltrating the GOP via becoming a GOP committeeman/woman and they’re already gotten a hold of a few State GOP parties. It needs to happen even in blue states because the state committee leaders vote for the national leaders like Ronna ROMNEY McDaniels. https://precinctstrategy.com/
There are quite a few new MAGA type candidates, some endorsed by Trump already and some doing well without the endorsement.
Gen Mike Flynn is touring the country with his ReAwaken America project to get Christians involved in local politics and get political conversation back into the church.
We have a large group of physicians and scientists fighting the covid war. Parents are fighting the woke culture war at school boards which blossomed into ousting a bunch of dems in Virginia.
We gotta replace dems and RINOs at all levels. We especially need to get rid of top level RINOs like McConnell and Graham.
Americans don’t want limited government. They elect Democrats to give them unlimited government, then elect Republicans to make sure they don’t have to pay for it.
Of course, none of this makes any sense. That’s why $30 trillion in national debt is pretty much an inevitable consequence of our dysfunctional governing system.
There was a time when reaching across the aisle was an option. Everyone (well, we’ve always had crooks just in for the money) for the most part wanted what was best for the country. The way to accomplish this was the bone of contention. That era no longer exists. We need Republicans who realize this.
Now the other side sees the Right as violent, racists, terrorists, bigots, etc. You cannot reach across the aisle and work with people who wish you either reeducated, in prison or dead. You cannot work with people who believe everything about America is wrong and needs to be burned to the ground. Yes that’s for you, Mitch.
The only thing wrong with this article is who is counter-revolutionary. The Revolution was in 1776, based upon the Christian religion and the Enlightenment (as well as principles of the Athenian Republic). So really the left are the counter-revolutionaries who want to take us back to the feudal system.
Many MAGA type people are infiltrating the GOP
Yes, this is true, and I think it will continue.
Greatly tighten eligibility to be considered a 501(c) corp.
And even for 501 corps, have ALL investment income from their endowments be taxed at full corporate rate.
Cut way back on government Grant's, especially "social science" research grants.
Use existing anti trust laws to break up huge Big Tech corps.
Cripple their power to “demonetize” content by demanding that competing ad companies be able to put ads on youtube etc on an equal footing with google ad placement.
"Given safety from reprisal, large majorities of the electorate would reject both the underlying unhinged beliefs and the ruinous policies and goals that have been promoted since Biden and his opaque gang took office."
As I read on there were so many jewels but this one also jumped off the page for me:
"Mention of the Republican Party may have caused a few groans from the readership, and I sympathize. The Republican Party may not be much, but, institutionally, it’s all we’ve got. Every other major American institution has either signed on for the revolution or completely acquiesced to it. "
The GOP, each and every one of them, must accept The Republic is in a fight to the death and that they must become extremely prejudiced in the carrying out the counter revolution.
I still have some hope, but that light is flickering.
And another old timer, like myself, expresses my views better than I can.
Time is running out.
Any politician that says “we can’t shut down government “ is a Marxist pig ahole. Right Mitch?
In your opinion, is Donald Trump the ideal “leader”
for us MAGA types?
Again, this is not a trick question and am not trying to lure you into some type of flame war.
I am honestly interested in your opinion. You might surmise my support for the man is waning.
He would have to be surrounded by good advisers.
He seems to be too trusting based on merely talking to a person for a half an hour. He doesn’t realize that political types are all actors and actresses saying whatever they think they need to say. He seems to try and think the best of people who are actually snakes.
I don’t know. If he runs, I’ll vote for him. If both he and DeSantis run, I’d probably go with DeSantis because I think he has more political savvy. I can’t think of anyone else.
Well put.
I left the Republican Party over 25 years ago and have yet voted against Democrats in each election as a non-aligned voter. Although I did skip voting in the election when McRomney was the GOP nominee.
Of course I will vote for whomever the GOP picks, if I am still kicking then.
I fear the Republic may be beyond fixing by mere voting.
Thanks for sharing your opinion sir.
I'm sure you would know the name in an instant. Trump was the necessary catalyst that we needed when we needed it but now we need someone to get us over the goal line now. The 'R' Party has simply outlived its usefulness IMHO. Just thought I'd add in my two cents worth 'old partner'. We go way back here.
