Found this in the commentaries at instapundit this morning. I’m going to take the unusual step of reposting it here because it’s very important that this be understood:
The whole point of the J6 insurrection narrative, the fact-checkers on social media, the deplatforming of and attacks on anyone who dissents from the narrative, and skin-suit gutting of any institution that Americans are interested in, is to keep us from rallying together to put an end to the Deep State corruption.
Time and again, voters stepped off the “reservation” of being mindless drones to the Leftist narratives, electing Richard Nixon as a slap in the face of the war mongering Democrats of the Vietnam era; then electing Ronald Reagan, even after the Left had basically effected a successful coup to depose Nixon and supposedly had tainted the Republican Party. Then voters elected George W. Bush, despite their best efforts to cast him as a combination of Hitler and someone as incompetent and mindless as…well…Joe Biden is today. During Obama’s first term, outrage over the devastation to the economy caused by Obamacare led to the grassroots Tea Party, but the Left was able to quash that by weaponizing the IRS against it, while propping up Democrat grassroots organizations.
By the time Trump came around the Left was pretty much over trying to convince us to vote their way. Their efforts against Trump really *are* efforts against the pendulum swing of politics for voters in America. The Left fully believes that if they push a little bit harder, and insert themselves into a little bit more of our lives, they can prevent us from voting against them and from pushing forth leaders who are more and more willing to challenge their corruption. Ultimately, it could come down to how much farther the Left can push, and how many people are willing to push back.
Long time readers of this site know very well that I’m going to have some problems with the specifics herein.
The fact was in remains that the rank and file GOP is far more conservative then the GOP establishment. I said before Donald Trump even took the nomination 5 years ago, let the rank and file was about ready to go nuclear on the establishment. The nomination and election of Mr Trump certainly qualifies as that.
Back in Reagan’s day we saw the establishment GOP spend the first couple of years after the Reagan presidency trying desperately to separated self from Reagan’s successes and the lessons he taught us. I’ve gone to Great lengths over the years describing why.
I suggest that the same thing is happening now with the GOP establishment and Donald Trump. Plus we have the mitt Romney’s and Liz Chaney’s and the Adam Kinzingers who spent literally months and millions of tax dollars trying to do the Democrats work for them. You see they don’t believe in being conservative, either.
The truth of the matter is that the Democrats are less treacherous than the GOP establishment. At least, they aren’t pretending to be conservative.
The outcome of this next election is eminently predictable. The Establishment is going to get spanked again.
