What’s Wrong with Trump Supporters?

Every time there is a critical vote in Congress that infringes on our Constitutional rights, Trump supporters start posting about “burning up the phone lines”. When was the last time that made any difference? Politicians know that as soon as the next crisis comes along, we will forget about the prior one. Then the next election comes along and we hold our nose and vote for the candidate with R next to their name. Then we complain when the R acts like R’s always do.

Maybe someone organizes a rally and hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people show up. Has that made any difference long term? Then why do we keep doing it and pretending we are doing something? We elected many Tea Party supporting candidates to the House and Senate. How has that worked out for us? Our so-called leaders are telling us to do it again. That it will be different this time.

We seem to have the emotional part down, but where is the thinking part? Where is the planing part? Why is everyone waiting for someone else to lead? Why are we waiting for President Trump to tell us what to do?

Imagine how powerful we would be if we could just win 1 Senate seat with our candidate and our party. Right now, we might be the controlling vote in the Senate with just 1 Senator. What if we had 20 House members, some of whom had defeated Republicans and some Democrats. That might be enough to choose the Speaker and we would be the swing vote on many important bills.

Last night House Republicans votes overwhelmingly (145 to 61) to keep Liz Cheney as Republican House Conference Chair, the 3^rd highest position in Republican House leadership. Republican House leadership is Kevin McCarthy as Minority Leader, Steve Scalise as Republican Whip, and Liz Cheney as Republican House Conference Chair. Are any of these people on our side? Are their objectives in any way the same as ours?

I listened to Bannon’s War Room every day for a few weeks after the election, where day after day he assured us “We have the Receipts”, that GA was going to be overturned, that Republicans in AZ were going to take action, the same in PA, MI, and WI. He brought on Republican attorneys who said court cases were going to be won. And most importantly, that on January 20, 2021, President Trump would be sworn in as President.

I haven’t listened to the War Room for a couple of weeks, but I listened yesterday. And I heard Matt Gaetz say they had the votes to remove Liz Chaney. Sure they did.

In Georgia, Loeffler and Perdue refused to say they would fight for Trump and it cost the Republicans 2 Senate seats and control of the Senate. And who was telling these 2 candidates how to campaign? From all indications, it was Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell. The GOP priority was to distance themselves from Trump, not keep control of the Senate. The day before the election Loeffler finally said she would fight for Trump and Perdue waited until the actual morning of the election. Thousands of Trump supporters stayed home and I don’t blame them.

We hear people like Dan Bongino lecture us on why we have to remain in the Republican Party. No offense Dan, but if you are that great a strategist, why are you 0 for 2? Why haven’t Hannity, Limbaugh, Levin, Beck, etc. sent out investigators to find out what really happened in the contested states. Why haven’t they sent investigators out to find out what really happened on Jan 6 and why?

Why is Conservative news media not doing any investigative stories? We have access to arrest records. Why are no Conservative journalists going out and interviewing the people that stormed the Capitol people and finding out what their motivation was? Who organized it or was it really spontaneous? Or are we going to just let the left-wing media do the interviews and write their slanted stories?

We have a critical election in 2022. 435 members of Congress and 34 Senate seats are up for election. On the Senate side, 20 are Republicans and 14 are Democrats.

That means there is less than a year to find and select candidates and raise millions of dollars. Are we doing that? No. We make comments and chant slogans at rallies.

We are going to get exactly what we deserve – another 2 years of the Democrats controlling the House, the Senate, and the Executive branch, and Republicans going along with them and disappointing us over and over again.

It’s time for the average Joe and Mary to step up. Don’t wait for someone to tell you what to do. Look around and find something you are uniquely qualified to do and do it. There are hundreds of thousands of small business owners who need help, who have been abused by both Republicans and Democrats. Bring them into our movement. Same with all the mothers and fathers who have been let down by our public schools. Bring them into our movement. The way Democrat governors and even some Republican governors have handled the Covid-19 crisis has angered millions of Americans. Invite them to join us. I bet we could win some Congressional seats in blue states with the right candidates.

We don’t want haters. We don’t want bigots. We don’t want racists. Let the Republican and Democrat parties have them. We want Americans who are willing to reach out in friendship and to offer a helping hand up when needed. We need to include everyone who shares our values, even if it’s not 100%..

If we only get 60% of what we want, that is 60% better than what we are getting right now. With 60% we can start building toward 70% and 80%. That was Reagan’s strategy.

No one wants to hear this, but if we want to create a party that is a big tent and can win for decades to come, it must be a center-right party, not a right wing party. That doesn’t mean giving up our principles, but it does mean we get a lot better at communicating so that we can attract a much wider audience. Then we win the same way all great teams win:

Teamwork
Great Players (Candidates)
Great Coaches (Campaign Managers and Staff)
Preparation
Hard Work

Republican Leaders Cower

The New Republican Mascot

In times of crisis, you find out who the real leaders are. Our Republican leadership are cowards who care nothing about truth and justice. As long as they are not the ones being threatened, they just go along to get along.

At this point in time, whether the election was stolen or not is almost a moot point. What is important is that the majority of Republican voters believe it was and our political leaders caved to political and media pressure. Many actually sided with the Democrats.

Some Republican voters still believe it is possible to reform the Republican Party.

IT IS NOT

Here’s why. Politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, get most of the money, including dark money, for their campaigns from big donors. Politicians don’t represent us, they represent special interests. It doesn’t take newly elected officials long to figure this out. If they don’t fall in line, they don’t get the better committee assignments and leadership gets tight with election funds, they don’t get their share of pork to brag about to their constituents. Most fall in line quickly after leadership explains life in Washington to them.

Here’s what happened in GA and you can guess why Loeffler and Perdue were reluctant to “Fight for Trump”. They were being bought and paid for by special interests who wanted Trump out.

The Georgia Battleground Fund — the joint fundraising committee fueling the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the campaigns of Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler — has already deposited $31 million after three weeks of activity, according to a memo this week from Karl Rove, the veteran GOP operative leading the effort. The effort is sending Loeffler and Perdue as much money in weeks as some GOP senators raise in months — a necessary boost for their campaigns as Democrats outspend them in Georgia.
Rove wrote in the memo that his committee had increased its initial fundraising goal by about 20 percent, to nearly $43 million in total. That would require the committee to raise roughly $2.4 million per week in the run-up to the Jan. 5 races. politico

All of these calls we have been making really don’t make that much difference. The next election is almost 2 years away and there will be some new crisis to get us all fired up to vote for Republicans by then. They are masters at doing whatever they want, lying about it, and then being on the straight and narrow for 3 or 4 months leading up to the election.

Republican politicians could win this fight. Free speech, a free press, freedom to associate, religious freedom, gun rights, etc. The Democrats are restricting our 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights and the case should be made that this is a threat to all Americans. Well over 50% of the American people would agree with Republicans if they just had the integrity and courage to stand on the Capital steps and say it.

Is there a single Republican Senator with a backbone? Are they going to let the Democrats continue to persecute Trump supporters? I think we know the answer.
