This is the way I describe it...I call it “the Hawaii scenario”

You can ask someone, “Do you want to go on vacation in Hawaii?”

They will almost always say, “YES! That would be awesome.”

Then you ask them...”How much do you have saved up so far? Which airlines are you looking at? What resort are you going to stay in?”

They will stare at you with a blank look because they don’t really want to go to Hawaii for vacation. They just like the idea of it.

It is very easy to say, “I am a conservative. I want to shrink the size of government. I want to enforce the immigration laws. I was to reduce spending. etc....”

It is a very different thing to actually spend political capital to accomplish these things.

Trump is one of the only officials to ever attempt to do any of these things. He has paid an incredible price for doing so.

Jordan is basically saying, “I want to enact conservative policies in the government as long as it easy to do, nobody tries to stop me and the Democrats go along with it.”

He sucks.

Right now policy doesn’t matter. This battle is not over policy; it is over a criminal mafia holding the whole process of policy-making hostage.

We have to get out of the mindset that anything right now is about policy. When you’re in the middle of a hostage situation you don’t have the luxury of talking policy.

True, the globalists are using policy to destroy this country. The border, the debt, you name it. They are doing everything in their power to destroy us.

But they only have power because the lawmakers fear the CIA more than they fear their own constituents. And that will be the case as long as we let the Deep State run DC.

The Deep State wants you to be depressed about policy and say, “Nothing can be done. It’s hopeless.”

It’s NOT hopeless. The Deep State is being exposed at a rate never seen before, and we have the R majority by ONE in the House, which allows the R’s to give subpoenas that will further expose the Deep State. For instance, Garland is willing to risk eventual obstruction of Congress charges in order to keep the tape of Biden’s interview hidden, even though the (claimed) transcript was already disclosed to the House committee. There’s obviously something wrong with the transcript. And because we have a 1-person majority, we can find that out.

We CAN’T give up now. It would be absolutely crazy.

No matter how we think any one person or the party “sucks”, our choice is to either stand with those who will give us the greatest opportunity of destroying the Deep State, or to piss away this country because we don’t feel like fighting.

When we demoralize ourselves and others we are doing the Deep State’s bidding. I, for one, would beg the Lord to strike me dead before I could ever do anything to suit the Deep State.

And BTW, I appreciate the “Hawaii scenario”. There are a lot of things we wish for but don’t really care enough to fight for.

I don’t just wish for a country free from the Deep State’s control. I care enough to fight for it. They killed my husband. I can’t prove it legally, to see them in prison for it. But I can do everything in my power to bring them down. I would gladly give my life toward that end. (Obligatory notice: I am not suicidal and desperately want to live so that I can fight for my husband’s justice and for my family’s future!).

Voting for an R who disgusts me is no small task, in view of everything that needs to be done.

I hope and pray that you reach that point too, where you have hope enough to fight.
