While that is definitely good news, let’s refresh our memories
about 2017.
Donald Trump had won the Presidency while the GOP controlled
both the House and the Senate. The GOP should have been in charge and the
Democrats mere spectators.
But instead, the Washington Democrat Establishment seized the
narrative by concocting the Trump-Russia collusion hoax even before Trump was inaugurated.
The hoax was amplified and mainstreamed by the news media. It caused the
appointment of Special Counsel Robert Muller.
The partisan Mueller probe loomed like a sword over the Trump
Presidency for two years. Trump’s Attorney General had recused himself from the
investigation. This probe that began in 2017 meandered through the 2019
mid-terms while the media carried fake news ironclad evidence of 'collusion'
that would force Trump out of office. The charade cost $32 million and two
years of instability.
Back then, most Republicans displayed an attitude that ranged
from hostility to indifference towards President Trump. Only a scant number of
Republicans such as Devin Nunes stood by Trump and confronted the various
establishment falsehoods.
The cloud of doubt created by the Mueller probe probably
caused a significant section of voters to be sickened of the chaos and believe
that electing Democrats was the only way to stop ‘Russian Mole’ Trump.
Hence the Democrats managed to win back the House on the basis
of a malicious sustained disinformation campaign.
One wonders what would have happened had the GOP had shown
some spine.
What if the then GOP leaders Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell of
the House and Senate along with various other Republicans had dismissed
and ridiculed the premise of collusion from the day it surfaced in a
coordinated manner. Perhaps Muller’s appointment would never have occurred.
The first two years of the Trump Presidency would have been
stable and the MAGA agenda could have been implemented much faster. There would
fewer angry Tweets from Trump. The GOP probably would have retained control of
the House during the mid-terms in 2019. President Trump would not have been impeached
twice on flimsy grounds. The federal government would have managed Covid-19
more adeptly. In 2020, Trump would have won by such an emphatic margin
that the electoral malpractices would have had little impact.
The media would have been relegated to barking dogs would who
couldn’t bite.
There would be no Biden, Harris, or Pelosi in positions of
power. There would be no ‘insurrection’, the economy would still be strong,
there would be no energy crisis, illegal immigration would be under control and
there would be peace all over.
But that was not to be, because elections have consequences.
The modern Democrat party is a left-wing extremist party that
views political opponents as enemies.
The Democrats weaponized the government machinery and
investigative agencies to intimidate and punish Republicans. They already have
branded parents, who oppose the teaching of critical race theory in
school as Domestic
terrorists. They used Covid-19 to impose mandates and restrict freedoms.
The modern-day Democrats do not believe in electoral results
unless they win. They want a monopoly on power like they have in New York and
California. Consequently, they see the GOP not as a rival but as impediments
that must be overcome. They have already called the GOP a front
for terrorists. This is war.
However, most of the GOP still seems ignorant of these facts
and frequently displays subservience to the Democrat Establishment
The January 6th partisan
probe is merely a sequel to the Mueller probe. The goal is to create
the perception of guilt to prevent Trump from running again in 2024 and to persecute
MAGA supporters.
The occurrences of January 6th was nothing
more than protest that went overboard. There is reason
to believe that break-in was incited by mysterious proxies of government
agencies.
The Republicans are aware of these facts yet many endorse the
Democrat groupthink.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called it “a
violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful
transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration
to the next,”
Senator Ted Cruz during a Senate hearing described the Jan. 6
protest as a "violent
terrorist attack”. He did walk back those comments on TV, but official
records will reflect his utterances in Senate.
Mike Pence grandstanded
with the claim that "The presidency belongs to the American people and
the American people alone." Hence implying there was no fraud.
Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who are leading the
assault were rightly censured by the Republican National Committee are beyond
hope.
Republican Senators Burr of North Carolina, Cassidy of
Louisiana, Collins of Maine, Murkowski of Alaska, Romney of Utah, Sasse of
Nebraska, and Toomey of Pennsylvania broke party lines and voted to convict President
Trump for the occurrences of January 6th.
Beyond January 6th, many within the GOP are
unreliable.
Senator Lindsey Graham sways according to the direction
of the wind
Rep. Dan Crenshaw branded members of the House Freedom Caucus
as “grifters”. These pejorative epithets are used by Democrats to denigrate the
GOP.
There have been myriad instances of Republicans siding voting
against the interests of their voters.
In recent times 80 House Republicans voted
to fund the creation of a federal vaccination database that could be used
against the citizen in the future while 19
Republican senators voted to resettle unvetted Afghan refugees in the
U.S.
Overall, some Republicans may say the right things on Fox News and during the hearings, but their actions don’t always reflect their utterances. There are many who continue to be mute spectators to the Democrat assault on the founding values of the nation.
It proves that the Establishment runs deep and gets to
everybody in various ways.
The Freedom Caucus and the like of Senator Rand Paul has been a sole source of hope.
What lessons do we learn from this?
This meticulous vetting of each and every candidate is most
essential. It is essential to dig deep through records and judge them by both
their character and record.
Every major endorser especially President Trump has to be
thoughtful while handing out endorsements. It has to be remembered that Romney
was elected to the Senate following an
endorsement from President Trump.
History has shown us every single seat in both Congress and
the Senate matters. Even a couple of dissenting senators can block a crazy
spending bill or prevent a conviction during an impeachment.
Getting an establishment Republican elected will be better
than electing a left-wing Democrat, but the difference won't be significant.
The establishment candidate will capitulate when you need them the most.
This is not just another election, the results will decide the
future of the country.
The Democrats have to be stopped, for that GOP leader must
display courage. A nasty article in the NYT or the Post or attacks on MSNBC or
rebuke from the establishment should not deter them.
They have to be brave, confident, uncompromising, articulate,
and ideologically committed warriors who faithfully and fearlessly represent
their voters.
