Over the last five years it\u2019s been necessary to recognize just how dysfunctional American politics had become.\u00a0 Adding together the power and corruption of the Deep State and the cowardly and backstabbing nature of the Republicans with the ubiquitous nature of the Left\u2019s control of almost all of the levers of power in civil society it is almost impossible to overestimate how hopeless the Right\u2019s plight seems to be.\u00a0 I mean, look at what the FBI did to the duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump.\u00a0 And after what the 2020 election tells us about the ability of the Democrats to nullify their opponents\u2019 electoral advantage by simply fabricating votes through fraud, it\u2019s amazing we haven\u2019t all just thrown in the towel and given up on this country.<\/p>\n
But unfortunately, there is hope.\u00a0 And hope is painful and exhausting because it comes with inevitable disappointment.\u00a0 If you take three steps forward there will be two steps back.\u00a0 Out of every hundred \u201cleaders\u201d maybe three or four will be for real.\u00a0 The rest are grifters, nuts and just plain RINO\u2019s.\u00a0 What passes for pro-Trump Republicans is a motley crew that includes politicians who have put on a disguise of being on our side.\u00a0 And that becomes clear when they get a chance to vote with Democrats on obvious partisan issues like the infrastructure bill.\u00a0 Looking at Republicans like Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney should be enough to extinguish any last embers of hope that are still remaining on the Right.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019ve come to the scary conclusion over the last few months that someone like Ron DeSantis might just be able to rally enough people around him to take some ground back from the Biden Administration and his Deep State stormtroopers.\u00a0 It\u2019s definitely not certain or even highly likely but it is possible.\u00a0 And if it is, I\u2019d be a coward if I didn\u2019t at least allow myself to follow the story and even help the effort if it comes to it.\u00a0 I just read the other day that Republican voter registration in Florida exceeded Democrat registration for the first time in history.\u00a0 And then we have the elections in Virginia.\u00a0 And the Federal Courts have put a temporary injunction on the OSHA vaccine mandate for larger companies.\u00a0 And Biden\u2019s poll numbers have plunged. \u00a0\u00a0And, and, and.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it horrible, horrible optimism is creeping into the political scene against my will.<\/p>\n
So, I will not pretend that nothing has improved since that horrendous day last November when the fake Biden win was engineered against us.\u00a0 The blowback from so many bad policies and incompetent leadership is becoming a storm.\u00a0 Whether it turns into a hurricane that blows away Dementia Joe\u2019s regime remains to be seen.\u00a0 But just ignoring all this is a mistake I don\u2019t intend to make.<\/p>\n
And I won\u2019t suddenly become some kind of Pollyanna pundit.\u00a0 I\u2019ll call them as I see them.\u00a0 You won\u2019t hear me seeing allies in every leftist who complains about woke persecution.\u00a0 That\u2019s just friendly fire on their side.\u00a0 I won\u2019t start warning against primarying RINO\u2019s.\u00a0 RINO\u2019s not only deserve to be knocked out of their offices but doing so is therapeutic.\u00a0 Even if it means we lose a seat to the Dems.\u00a0 Punishing traitors is good for the movement and good for morale. \u00a0I will pay attention to the real results positive and negative.<\/p>\n
But doggone it, I\u2019m not going to be allowed to wallow in my delightful misery.\u00a0 I\u2019ve got to start caring about things again.\u00a0 Well, here we go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
