The Establishment Is Trying to Divide and Conquer MAGA
American Thinker ^ | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 11/09/2022 7:43:40 PM PST by TigerClaws

There are videos making the rounds showing President Trump standing on stage in Miami's pouring rain while imploring Americans to get out and vote. The metaphor is striking. ***

MAGA, in other words, is a direct threat to the international coalition that insists on extinguishing American independence and freedom. For at least six years, the Establishment Class has worked to demolish not so much Donald Trump, but rather the assembly of MAGA Americans that have found each other and are now working together. The Uniparty has used all its tricks and sticks. It has tried shaming Christians. It has called Trump's supporters "Russian sympathizers." It has used the criminal (in)justice system to bully, harass, and imprison Trump allies. It has slandered MAGA voters as "terrorists," "insurrectionists," "fascists," and "racists." It has done everything it can to wear the MAGA coalition down, to abuse Trump-supporters so completely that they renounce him, and to intimidate the MAGA faithful so mercilessly that they relinquish their political sway. The Establishment Class has done this because MAGA represents an existential threat to its paradigm of global wealth and power. *** There's an awful lot I like about Ron DeSantis, but when he is backed by Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, the Lincoln Project, and big-money anti-MAGA donors like Ken Griffin, I see only two possibilities: (1) either they think that Governor DeSantis will eventually play ball with the Über-Globalists or (2) they are committed to dividing the MAGA coalition between DeSantis and Trump, conquering MAGA once and for all, and forcing voters back to the Establishment-approved, corporate Republicanism embraced by the likes of Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Asa Hutchinson, Larry Hogan, Tim Scott, and Nikki Haley.

The Lincoln Project has been attacking DeSantis, so they're not backing him.

Yet.

Thanks for asking that question.

It made me look it up and settle it in my mind.

If they don’t fix the voting system I for one will not go out of my way to vote. Our kids will have a better chance at a decent life if the country just divorces. I truly don’t want to coexist with evil.

Republicans can’t win without MAGA voters. Their back stabbing treatment of Trump will generate a low MAGA turnout.

Mitch McConnell and Karl Rove actively worked against MAGA - with money.

We are going to need to draw on his economic savvy by the
time January 2025 comes around.

I like Ron. He doesn’t have that. Give Trump four years
to get the economy under control, and then let Ron run
with it.

I’m trying to tell folks, Florida is a very important
state. I am advocating De Santis to serve out his full
term there, to protect it from the Left, the media, the
unions, the education class...

He can come over in 2028 and do just fine. After four
more years in Florida, he’ll be even more popular.

After him, perhaps Keri Lake can take over if she holds
true to her current ways.

I have hope for the future. Trump gave us that hope
yesterday. If we swap out RINOs for the next two or three
cycles, we’re going to have a very well grounded
Congress.

“ONE NATION UNDER GOD”, I know the globalists hate that idea, THATS WHY I WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP IN 2024!

He may not be a good Christian type but HE’S NOT A DAMN COMMIE!

YUP, some people are just plain stupid and ruled by their EMOTIONS.

I don’t give a damn what a man says, I ONLY CARE ABOUT HIS ACTIONS!

“he says mean things to people”, OH MY GOD let me clutch my pearls and find the fainting couch!

I don’t particularly give a damn what any body SAYS, I just want to know if they can the KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES.

Last time I checked politics, much like football is a full contact sport.

If you can’t take a little name calling get the hell out of the game.

As a Conservative I have been called everything from asshole to NAZI, don’t care but get ready for me to PUNCH BACK!

The only two people who can fix this are Trump and DeSantis themselves. If those two men can put aside their egos and present a united front, there is nothing the Left can do about it... but, much as I admire them both, they do both have egos, and if they can’t see that failing to align endangers us all, then... I don’t know. Whoever extends the olive branch first will be the better man.

Has anyone ever heard Desantis say “MAGA” in public, has he ever worn a red hat in public? Pictures?

Trump will either get the nomination or he will divide the party. Either way, Republicans lose in 2024.

If a guy has too many anti MAGA corporate donors he will not be able to be MAGA.

People are assuming things that are not in evidence.

I also doubt DeSantis would want a VP role.
