It isn't that the Republicans are "unwilling to fight" or "taking the high road". It's that most Republicans are part and parcel of the power structure. They don't want to fight. They're fine with what the Democrats are doing. Others are probably just blackmailed into going along.
Seriously, after 2020, who actually thinks the Republican Party as a whole is fighting for Americans? No one that I know. They see them as being just as corrupt and holding onto power as the Democrats.
Until people wake up to that fact, they'll keep getting disappointed. Once you start seeing things as they are, no more disappointment. Just cold, stark, undiluted truth helping to change things at the State and Local level while doing what they can at the national elections.
The midterms aren't going to change the Federal DC system much. The Federal level battle is over. We lost. Own it and move on. Start getting Constitutionally minded people in at the Local and State level. Work to get MAGA candidates elected at the national level, but understand they may not be able to do much until the States have better people elected to support them. This midterm either keeps us at the precipice, maybe a step back ... or if we lose the midterms, then the control of the Federal that was seized in 2020 will be set in stone and America is truly lost.
Big double dittos. MAGA warriors are fighting both the DNC and the GOP. If the average republican doesn't start seeing this as an existential battle, nothing will change.
The GOP is feckless because they are missionless. The Regressive Left has a mission, a goal, an objective. The GOP are like little Dutch Boys putting their finger in a dike to hold back the leaking ocean and dying in place.
Conservatives and the GOP lack a mission. Playing defense only will never win the game.
.... And yes I have ideas on a mission, but first you'll need to understand what got us here.
Six months before the late, great Nellie Gray died, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_Gray_(activist) I had the unexpected privilege of speaking to her over the phone for nearly two hours. The points you make in this article remind me of a similar point she made that day when I asked, “Why is it, that after all these years—with all the advancements in technology—why hasn’t the prolife movement won the war yet?” She replied, “Because the prolife movement is not as 100% committed to being prolife as the pro-choice is in being pro-death.” She provided some examples upon my request— after all, I was a newbie to the movement at the time, so this division within it was news to me!
“Until we are as 100% united in fighting to save the lives of babies as the left is in their fight to have them killed,” she clarified, “we may win a few battles here & there, but we’ll never win the war.”
Years after she passed, This division she confided to me could not have been more on display when Trump, who was running for President at the time, replied to a question pertaining to consequences for women should abortion be illegal to which he *correctly* replied (without batting an eyelash), “yes, there should be some form of consequence for a woman who gets an abortion, depending on the situation.” He instinctively knew the right answer to that question & was SPOT ON, of course, but TOO MANY high profile within the Prolife movement jumped all over him for that!
And also the day Nick Sandmann (a March-for-Life attendee!) was falsely accused & harassed by activist leftists after the March. The President of the March for Life that year was one of the first to throw that boy under the bus & believe the lying MSM! (These are but a few of many other examples!)
Like the weak Republicans you mention in your article, when will weak prolifers wake up & realize: pandering to the left has never been nor will it ever be a good strategy!
I love your work, JD. Keep fighting the good fight & Thank you for all you do!
McCarthy is a pussy and McConnell is a weasel. Notice how both names begin with "Mc"? McCarthy is tied to the hip with the silicon valley crowd and is nothing more than a disciple of Paul Ryan. You remember him. The guy that every RINO was begging to become Speaker of the House and then he didn't do jack schitte. And what can we say about the Senate's own turtle face, who's old lady is knee deep in with the Chi-coms. Ky. needs to step up and send him packing. The only good deed that he's done is keeping the POS Garland off of SCOTUS.
Probably because the rino's were first to sign up for the UN Agenda 21 plan to make us part of a communist one world gov, elder Bush signed on in 1992!! I first heard this from Glen Beck on Fox news about 14 years ago & didn't believe it so went to UN web site & got the document & also found UN has Office of Disarmament Affairs so I got a document from there. One line says "we must confiscate weapons from civilians so we can finish implementing Agenda 21"! It is now being called Agenda 30, think they wanted it completed by 2021 so now they are expecting it to be complete by year 2030!
As long as existing Republican leadership remains in place, very little will change in Congress. If your representatives will not commit to voting to remove and replace swamp centered leadership, then they then they are the real problem. And as long as the party leadership and its fund raising quotas for representatives exist, true representative government will not exist. We aren't voting our way out of the quagmire we are in when it allows the real problems to remain.
The GOP has been co-opted by the GWBush/Mitt Romney wing of the party. The voters are strongly committed to saving America, but unfortunately, Bush/Romney/the DNC has parasites working within our political structure. Then when Americans protest, they either get assaulted or sent to prison.
Look at what caused the Fall of Rome— IMMORALITY. The Republicans are about as interested in fighting to protect & uphold moral, traditional, Christian family values that built this great nation,
as the left is interested in fighting to end child-killing (aka: Abortion) & illegal immigration.
As the old saying goes: “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.” If the Republicans continue forging ahead being a weak, cowardly, spineless, sissified pathetic bunch in the face of Democrat’s forcefully aggressive, brutally destructive attempts to eradicate Christianity, dismantle the family & destroy our freedoms, I predict America will fall much faster & harder than Rome.
I noticed 2 decades ago that conservatives like to conserve their job, their pension, their creature comforts and that was all more important than fighting for their liberty. They will complain and carp as long as they won't get criticized for it. Now, they are going to lose it all, and they still deny reality thinking they can somehow hang on to their precious comfortable lifestyle even as it disappears all around them.
I have been saying this since the *election.* I don’t see a way out of this and with some of Trump’s endorsements, I am not sure that he hasn’t become part of the swamp.
The GOP doesn't fight the DemonRats because they are closet moderates/liberals, at best. They maintain a nominal opposition to liberal policies to get reelected.

The Turtle Mitch Chaoman and Kevin McCarthy"ism" are both hardcore Communists.
Chaoman = Foremost Maritime
McCarthy"ism" = BYD Motors
Wonder what they have in common?

Mitch McConnell concedes. Kevin McCarthy prevaricates. And Mitt Romney grovels. That sums up the leadership of the Republican Party.
Most are driven by ego, greed, and a thirst for power. If they can enter worth thousands and leave worth millions, it was a good deal for them.

#1. Trump is not perfect.
#2. The swamp protects their own.
Rest assured, if Trump had become part of the swamp, the swamp wouldn’t be going after him the way they are.
