Pence ran against his old boss for the 2024 GOP nomination. The former vice president frequently warned the party against following what he called the “siren song” of populism and questioned whether Trump was committed to conservative policy goals.

Well one thing is for sure, Pence is not committed to any conservative goals.

>> effort to directly counter what Pence had previously described as populism “unmoored to conservative principles.”

More correctly “populism freed from the betrayal of the elite deep-state satan-worshiping globalists”.

And BOY does that get under Mikey’s skin that we have cast them off! Too bad.

The “conservatism” Pence claims to uphold is not conservative at all.

“..populism “unmoored to conservative principles.”

“unmoored to Deep State principles”.

Fixed it.

Yes Mike! For Gods sake we cannot have the people get what they want within the framework of a Republic. We should listen to a bunch of globalist stuffed shirts who care about everything on earth except for normal traditional American people...

>> the “siren song” of populism

But wait... remind me of the first words of the blessed Constitution of the United States of America? Are they not WE THE PEOPLE?

Pence is projecting — the real problem we face is the “siren song of elitism”, that lures We The People away from our sacred RESPONSIBILITY to manage, minimize and restrain our government. Elitism instead encourages us to place our trust in an untrustworthy elite to “run the nation”, because “trusting the experts” gives us more time to watch teevee. !!!

Perhaps this new outfit can explain to the newly out of work pipefitter why globalization or illegal immigration stole his job. Perhaps they can let him know that instead of giving him the hand he and his family need, that the govt gave the hand out to ukraine pensioners instead. You see pipefitter sir, the MIC needs your increased taxes because freedom. Spit. This dumbass should join a ticket with liz cheney. Absolute trash

“Populism” is a smear word coined by those who hate government of, by and for the people.

How about allowing voters to decide what they want, instead of giving them false choices?

Well, the elitists can't have the unwashed deciding for themselves what is best for themselves, now can they?

After all all those RINO's who are partnering with the DS and WEF, know what we want and what's best for them er, ah.... us, even if we don't.

The first will be to shape political majorities by creating a policy platform for candidates to embrace “and reverse the Right’s drift toward populism and the Left’s embrace of socialism.”

The second piece is focused on championing conservative legislation and advancing Pence’s policy priorities, which include promoting free trade, limiting government spending, restoring U.S. leadership on the world stage, and confronting China.

The third and final part of the project is aimed at protecting conservative principles, such as limited government.

*******************

Pence and his conservative goals are ideological constructs with contradictory missions.

1) He wants to stop the drift towards populism & socialism, but doesn’t produce any reasoning why populists & socialists are increasing in numbers.

2) Here are 3 issues that Pence is promoting in the article.

Free Trade is an ideology that says import/export corporations should face low taxation on the foreign imports they purchase. I don’t really care about free trade, protectionism, and tariffs because historically in this country those issues have been used to distract people from economic policies not in their favor.

Limiting government spending means cutting the whole federal budget. It needs to be done, but the political will to get receipts & outlays in balance isn’t there, yet.

Restoring global leadership and confronting China means huge military and foreign aid spending. Which means the government won’t be limited but will continue to be a bloated mess.

All Pence and his group offer, are more wars & more debt.

So. THIS must be Pence’s retirement program/income. Nice gig. His own little PAC - I wonder what his ‘salary’ is?

Be nice if they instead spent this on highlighting the disasters of the Left and our society’s “drift toward” moral depravity such as toddlers being taken to strip clubs and having them put money down the thongs of the strippers while adults laugh and watch, a thriving forced prostitution / sex slavery industry due to our open borders, families and communities being destroyed by drugs flowing across the border, pornography being put in our schools and libraries, etc.
