We may fantasize that conservatives constitute a massive invincible army against the left. None of this will help us if nobody is willing to show up for the fight. The midterm elections this fall could easily hand the Democrats a commanding lead in both the Senate and the House. We have no real reason to expect that conservatives will gather in large numbers to monitor the voting process for fraud. The fall surprises full of slander, innuendo, and social media mobbing will follow the pattern we saw in the Roy Moore election, with National Review writers like David French slamming Republican candidates and commentators like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro playing it safe by virtue-signaling if ominous accusations, no matter how unproven or unlikely, gain traction with the general public.

In summary, average citizens should never have to live and breath politics. It’s really not our job and suggests an abnormal society. That’s why we have a constitutional republic and it’s also why state parties exist to take that burden from us and not get caught flat-footed as in PA.
We do have other lives - and if we want to live them in FReedom and under the Constitution, we need to make time to oppose the sleepless other side.
We need Trump to frame November to be a referendum on him. He needs to drive turnout of the deplorables.
Not sure how he would do that, but the deplorable narrative was only good against the politician who uttered it. I don't think it would have the same effect again.
And I don't like an election being about a personality. I want it to be about our Country, what is good for it, what has been done wrong to it, and how we can preserve what is great about it. Also, to define our Country's enemies, particularly those within.
