Wow, does this message from Rush Limbaugh ring true today. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
God Bless Him – We all miss Rush Limbaugh.
Before Donald Trump entered politics there was no home for people voting on the issues of a national economic agenda. Both Democrat and Republican candidates had essentially the same worldview on national economic policy because they are all getting money from the same multinational corporate trough. However, President Trump changed that dynamic by presenting an alternative national economic policy called America-First.
For decades middle America was begging the McConnell’s, Ryans, Boehners, Romney’s, McCain’s, Bushes, et al, to make America-Fist economic policies their priority. All of our shouts for help fell upon deaf political ears plugged by corporate donations and influence. Our communities were literally collapsing around us (see rust belt), and yet no national politician would do anything of consequence.
By the time Donald Trump arrived decades of frustration exploded in an eruption of massive applause because he was articulating the central economic issue that was being ignored by the professional political class. The America-First agenda is the restoration agenda. From Trump’s national economic policy, the middle-class erosion stopped. Economic security, specifically U.S. employment stability and wage rates, goes hand in glove with border security and immigration controls.
MAGAnomics is the core of the great MAGA republican coalition, a working-class coalition that cuts through all other distinctions and divisions. It is not republican because of political affiliation, it is “MAGA republican” only because the republican party was the political vehicle selected by Donald Trump to install the policy.
This reality creates a problem for the DC professional political class and the corporate media. Because MAGAnomics is the fundamentally binding principle there is no way to fracture the Trump supporter coalition.
I am a “MAGA republican” by default of my wanting a national economic agenda that looks out for the economic interests of American’s first.
Donald Trump is the irreplaceable Great MAGA King because Donald Trump is the only one who holds that same outlook.
It ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages and recognize the scale of our assembly.
And here we are… divided by a network of seemingly intoxicating systems; many purposefully driven by the modern dynamic of social media, steering a tribal outcome we are only now just beginning to fathom.
Ultimately the collective weight of progressive leftism is putting us is isolation. There are many historic references to this disconcerting sentiment to review with hindsight. However, ultimately the feeling of isolation first begins with a rejection of God. Defeat it by embracing Him.
Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again.
Once restored, fight these bastards! .
You can be damn sure Xi has a “CHINA FIRST” economic policy.............
I find it interesting how a mantel has been put over Rush’s lamp. He had so many quotes that are appropriate to our time and yet they have some how been canceled out.
You know, with AI, anything is possible.
I miss Rush. He was such a bright light in the world when he was with us.
Great column.
Rush had incredible radio impersonators of Bill, Hillary and Bammy.
Unfortunately, we can only imagine Rush’s pointed parodies of FJB.
I was upset with Trump’s indictment yesterday. Today, I realized more will step up to take his place. More, who won’t have Trump’s flaws. More, who’ve learned from Trump’s mistakes.
This thread reminds me I was upset when Rush died. Then, I realized others would take his place. Others, who haven’t been demonized for years. Others, on multiple radio stations. Others, who would attract new listeners.
I don’t know who was on when Rush was on. I do know there are three stations with conservative hosts on at midday. And there’s only one liberal on.
What you say???
TRUMP is the guy.
No “replacements”. Trump! Trump! Trump!
No one will replace Trump.
I miss him too. :(
Here’s an idea. How about we take a note from the oppositions play book and start naming streets Rush Limbaugh Blvd ?
The left trashed Rush for a couple of days after he passed and haven’t mentioned him since. They want his memory to vanish.
Trump can’t do it alone. Even with 75 million of us behind him, Trump can’t captain the ship alone. He can steer, but we need more crew working on the bridge while we labor below decks.
And there is another, darker reason why Trump cannot, indeed must not, be the singular irreplaceable man for our times and our movement. America First needs a whole phalanx of voices, not just one. We don’t want to think it, but you all know what I’m most worried about.
