THE OLD GUARD FALLS: HOW TRUMP TOPPLED AMERICA’S POLITICAL ARISTOCRACY
Rsbnetwork.com ^ | 8/22/22 | Summer Lane

President Donald Trump has reshaped America’s political landscape. In doing so, he has swiftly toppled decades of political aristocracy in the United States and handed power back to the people.

In August, Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk stated on Twitter that, “After 55 years, January 20th, 2023 will mark the first time since 1967 that no members of the Cheney, Clinton, McCain, or Bush family will hold elected or appointed office in the federal government of the United States of America.”

Draining the Swamp

Since President Trump left office in January 2021, he has thrown the full brunt of his political power behind a diverse slate of America First candidates who are poised to take aim at a radical leftist agenda in November 2022 if the GOP takes back a congressional majority.

A dynasty of political elites, like Hillary Clinton and Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., have been ousted as this new wave of conservatism sweeps across the U.S., exposing “RINO” Republicans and showing the door to Democrat politicians whose approval ratings have tanked catastrophically in the last two years.

According to a report from the Washington Post, 94 percent of Trump’s endorsed candidates have won their primaries so far in 2022. Furthermore, out of 39 endorsed candidates for open seats, only three of his picks have failed to claim victory.

It's not over yet. Battles to come in some remaining primaries and then in November.

But we're well on our way to remaking legislative bodies both large and small across the nation.

And we will capture several executive offices as well.

Political dynasties were never a part of our founding fathers vision. Good people giving up their time to go to Washington and then, a few years later, returning to their regular lives was the intention.

>>we’re well on our way to remaking legislative bodies both large and small across the nation.<<

I believe you’re right. The leftist media, pollsters, social media, politicians will beat the same drum about doubt will take the house and senate in November.

This is designed to tamp down enthusiasm, donations for republican candidates. It’s called the “silly season” in political circles. Lots of false reports will circulate regarding races.

Trump was the best president in history. But given the reality of communist control aren’t we supporting rose colored glasses?

article: "We drove a stake through the heart of the McCain machine."

Meghan McCain has been hiding out in mourning.

The Democrats haven’t given up on political dynasties. Name recognition is a major draw for their voters. The fall of Republican dynasties may have more to do with those old families going over to the Democrats.

“Political dynasties were never a part of our founding fathers vision.”

You’re correct but they WERE expected, especially by say, John Adams.

In Massachusetts there were the Cabots and the Lodges (and then the Cabot Lodges), the Quincys, the Saltonstalls, the Kennedys and the Adamses.

Virginia had the Lees. New York had the Livingstons, the Clintons (George and DeWitt, not Bill and Hillary), and the Cuomos. Ohio had the Tafts. And there were smaller local families.

Aristocracy was anticipated and provided for. But democracies don’t last long in America, a few generations tops. We don’t have lords and baronies. The people tire of the same names running for office.

“But democracies don’t last long in America”

Meant to type “but aristocracies don’t last long in Anerica”

Without logging in to YouTube I scroll through something called "shorts". Each one only last a few seconds and there's no particular category.

The amount of positive Trump VS negative Biden, especially young people, is staggering and encouraging.

“94 percent of Trump’s endorsed candidates have won their primaries so far in 2022”

Evidence there is still some sanity afoot.

And #5, how did you get a photo of my sister? She promised she would remain incognito.

Good. The last thing we need is the return to hereditary dynasties of ruling elites.
