Will their upheaval succeed?
In the last 20 years, the Left has boasted that it has gained control of most of America institutions of power and influence—the corporate boardroom, media, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, the administrative state, academia, foundations, social media, entertainment, professional sports, and Hollywood.
With such support, between 2009-17, Barack Obama was empowered to transform the Democratic Party from its middle-class roots and class concerns into the party of the bicoastal rich and subsidized poor—obsessions with big money, race, a new intolerant green religion, and dividing the country into a binary of oppressors and oppressed.
The Obamas entered the presidency spouting the usual leftwing boilerplate (“spread the wealth,” “just downright mean country,” “get in their face,” “first time I’ve been proud of my country”) as upper-middle-class, former community activists, hurt that their genius and talents had not yet been sufficiently monetized.
After getting elected through temporarily pivoting to racial ecumenicalism and pseudo-calls for unity, they reverted to form and governed by dividing the country. And then the two left the White House as soon-to-be mansion living, mega-rich elites, cashing in on the fears they had inculcated over the prior eight years.
To push through the accompanying unpopular agendas of an open border, mandatory wind and solar energy, racial essentialism, and the weaponization of the state, Obama had begun demonizing his opponents and the country in general: America was an unexceptional place. Cops were racist. “Clingers” of the Midwest were hopelessly ignorant and prejudiced. Only fundamental socialist transformation could salvage a historically oppressive, immoral, and racist nation.
The people finally rebelled at such preposterousness. Obama lost his party some 1,400 local and state offices during his tenure, along with both houses of Congress. His presidency was characterized by his own polarizing mediocrity. His one legacy was Obamacare...

That’s your opinion and you’re sticking to it.
Go, Trump, Go!
Go, Trump, Go!
Amen, boss!
All your worries about Trump getting convicted or removed from the ballot are legitimate concerns. He could also get hit by a bus. Here’s another very real concern that people don’t like to talk about: Trump could very well get assassinated.
So let me ask you this: do you think if the unthinkable happened, we “faith-in-one-man” supporters would just go home sobbing and never vote again? If you think that you are clueless. Trump supporters care about this Republic as much as anyone - quitting and going home is not in our DNA.
Refusing to discuss the prospect of losing is a normal behavior among winners. It’s a show of confidence. Ask any athlete what he will do if he loses and see what he says. He will refuse to consider it because only losers do that.
But that doesn’t mean the athlete will quit the sport if he loses.
What Trump did better than any Republican since Ronald Reagan was bring out first time voters and it wasn’t because they just turned 18.
People who rarely vote will go home and not vote for any Republican, what’s clueless is not seeing that, given how close elections are, a small percentage staying home could easily elect a democrat.
A majority of the 100% Trump voters here on FR who I’ve asked that question was either lying or will have a big change of heart if Trump is not the nominee because a lot them have told me they won’t be voting in that scenario.
IF you expand your horizons past FR and into other social media outlets specifically Twitter, you will see the inner circle of Trump supporters have a bunker mentality and attack anyone and anything that isn’t 100% loyal to Trump, in the most vile sorts of ways, like saying DeSantis is a FAG, his wife faked cancer and had children as a political prop, in only takes 1-2% of that group to vote Democratic and it could easily throw the election to the Democrats.
Steve Bannon on his War Room show has started to recently speak of Trump’s fate being tied to the fate of the USA for only the 3rd time in US history, the first being George Washington, the second being Abraham Lincoln, and now Trump, does that sound like a Trump or no one mentality, it sure does to me.
Whoever would be qualified to head the formation of a new party would also, and more easily, form a shadow Establishment.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
I’m not able to agree or dispute your point because I’m not sure what a shadow establishment is, how it would operate, and what it would be intended to achieve.
Please post a Biden and Schumer likeness with the Traitor message!
Let me get this straight…
What Trump did better than any Republican since Ronald Reagan was bring out first time voters who otherwise would not vote, or would not vote Republican. (your words).
And these new voters are the ones you have a problem with? These are the ones you are calling 100% Trump supporters? These are the ones you are complaining about? Well duh.
Isn’t the best candidate the one who can get votes the other candidates can’t get?
Taxman Bravo Zulu!
Well played!
ValJar!
By way of Soros!
Cause they’re fix’n to do something we’d shoot them for?
The “mess we are in” predates the USA!
Read “The Five Thousand Year Leap” by W. Cleon Skousen.
Perhaps one of our resident photoshop mavens could whip one up for ya :-)
What does the local party machine do?
Tries to get lots of Republicans registered and to the polls.
Grooms potential new candidates to develop people who can win elections and do a competent job at whatever they get elected to.
Guides candidates through the administrative processes to get on the ballot, gets necessary signatures, etc.
Ensures the best candidates make it through the primary process. With “best” being defined by the party structure as people who will keep donors happy.
Works at getting out the vote and getting people enthusiastic about getting Republicans elected.
Do ad buys, and otherwise promote their candidates and cut down opposition candidates.
To accomplish that, local and state party organizations need to get people, volunteers and paid staff, to get all the above done.
I’m sure I’ve missed some jobs above.
The existing party organization necessarily needs to please the people who supply the money to get it all done. These donors do not necessarily align with MAGA. Many of them may be leftists to want to ensure that RINO candidates get elected in red districts where Democrats have no chance. The need to please the donor class shapes the Republican organization.
Republican organizations are not about winning. They are about getting the funding to pay the bills and salaries.
Normally, that would be the case, Ronald Reagan was able to transfer his popularity to George Bush who otherwise would never have become POTUS and after 4 years blew it.
Even though Reagan and Bush battled each other in 1980 for the Republican nomination, Reagan buried he hatchet and selected Bush as VP, brought the party together and won huge majorities and really affected the country for a years afterward.
Contrast that to what Trump and his supporters have done to the rest of the Republican Party.
During Covid, DeSantis was almost universally praised here on FR, now because he dared to challenge Trump, he’s scum, Trump claims Cuomo was a better Governor, called Desantis, “Lock Down Ron”, given him a derogatory nickname, etc.
Trump has gone scorched earth on other Republicans like Brian Kemp, Kim Reynold, and recently Glenn Youngkin.
Kari Lake recently said Trump was the most important man in her life over even her husband.
Compared to Reagan who brought Unity to the party and kept those new voters loyal, Trump and his inner circle have brought chaos to the party and turned many of those new voters against everyone who isn’t Trump.
Reagan was about the country; Trump is about himself and over time that is a losing strategy.
To accomplish that, local and state party organizations need to get people, volunteers and paid staff, to get all the above done.

I’m on board, where do I report for service? I was active in the local Tea Party for a couple of years, and should have assumed a more active role in recruitment, etc. Unfortunately, instead of increasing, membership hovered around 25 and gradually decreased until the group went belly up!
The Democrats a lawless because Repblicans are ball-less.
Meatball is not ready.

Labor Day: Biden Looks to Add Half a Million Foreigners to Workforce as 44M Americans Remain on Sidelines
Monthly, the economists note, Biden is inflating the labor market with tens of thousands of foreign workers employers can hire, often at lower wages and with fewer benefits.
