Actual republicanism. You remember - Like Abraham Lincoln...
A charismatic leader like Reagan.
And Trump wasn’t???
Conservatives..................
A military arm?
Courage!
A spine.
The GOP is not an organized party. The states all have state chairs that are involved for varying reasons, but typically not to attract new conservatives to join and not to win elections. The county committee’s are basically patronage mills, the main purpose of joining is for a county job or a future appointment to a job.
Dems are focused and organized. They are very active and put some differences aside to gain power.
Balls
A military arm?

Yep...this side of Heaven no culture can maintain itself without force of arms. The Left will try to insure that nothing like our movement ever makes a dent on the power-structure of this country again.
As bad as we think things are getting, critical mass has not been reached yet. It may not happen in my lifetime (or even within the next generation), but I see it eventually happening some day.
Where is that marriage amendment we were promised if the courts got out of hand? It was deep-sixed in no time, hoping we wouldn’t notice. The time to pass it was when a critical mass of support was on the side of sanity.
All those scandalous tv evangelical rich-off-the-backs-of-the-sold-to-Xian-crowds have to be removed, first.
Second, that other unworthy establishment, who held those child-playing priests, AND NUNS, close to their breasts, needs to be brought down, for its crimes against humanity, and its greed.
Third, that ‘Judeo-Xian heritage’ does not speak of the splinters set by each sect marginalizing the other as ‘not true Xians’, ‘because they don’t do this or that’, or they do this or that. Within pentecostalism, a church may advise using the collegiate NIV , whereas another same church may use the old standard KJV! Which in itself, is a Xian ‘Hatfield- McCoy feud’!
These are some of the things that folks see about y’all that need to be cleaned up nationwide, to get any real “street credibility”.
The American evangelical church is okay with sin and is not repenting.
The conservative movement has many separate parts but no coordination between those parts. When the legal, political, educational, spiritual, logistical, financial, philosophical come together and do their role, we can get somewhere.
Yes, we have turned to idols and forsaken our God, the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We will also end up like Israel with no place to call our own but the promise of heaven.
If we could find the Word of God as did Josiah many years ago and receive it into our lives.
It’s too late to reform the conservative movement. It’s time for a MAGA movement. Conservatism was a brief moment in time, From Goldwater to Reagan, ending with DJT, a somewhat conservative populist. It’s a wholly unappealing movement for young people. Move on, put a stake in the carcass of corporate conservatism.
“And Trump wasn’t???”
No, not really. When I voted for Trump, it was because that was all we had. Hillary wasn’t an option. I thought Trump was a showman without substance.
I was wrong. Trump exceeded all expectations.
However, Trump can be abrasive, he uses hyperbole, and doesn’t always educate the way that Reagan did. In a country as divided and indoctrinated as this one, a charismatic leader who draws in the middle is what is required.
