Fortunately, the GOP has opponents who refuse to learn from their mistakes.
The results of the November election have already become apparent in a variety of ways—both within our movement and within the enemy’s movement.
This from frontpagemag.com.
NOTE: The GOP must be shrewd. They must be objective. They must work together. And they must be shrewd.
The enemy has had their asses handed to them in stinging defeat, but they are inevitably going to do what human beings do. They will reject any possible lessons learned and they will retreat to doing what they know. This means they are already talking in hushed voices about getting “ugly.” And ‘ugly’ means ‘angry’ and this will mean ‘mistakes.’ The GOP must take advantage of the Left’s mistakes.
The GOP must think through what they are doing to minimize internal conflict and maximize enemy chaos. The wackiness about the continuing resolution last week was an example of what the GOP faces. They have a very narrow majority. They are also navigating the reality this is Donald Trump’s party and not the same old GOP.
Trump is the loudest voice, but he is not the absolute dictator. There are incentives and rewards both for following him and defying him—as well as risks.
How the GOP manages this new coalition is of paramount importance. They are not all conservatives. Yes, conservatives comprise a big chunk, but it is also populists, anti-war people who reject the old foreign policy consensus, and RFK Make America Healthy Again types. Organized labor has an unprecedented presence too. And America First is certainly not the only faction in this coalition.
The GOP will have growing pains. This new coalition is unstable. At one time, the Republicans were the budget-cutting party. They were the fiscally sane, the deficit hawks. There is still that faction in the coalition. But there is another part that does not care much about debt.
Donald Trump did not come into office as a budget cutter. Though he wants to see DOGE streamline the government and cut regulations, he did not get elected by promising to take a meat cleaver to America’s finances. In fact, he took entitlements like Social Security, Medicare, and all the rest, which are the majority of our spending, completely off the table.
Some in Congress have been absolutely outraged that normal people paid attention to politics this election. Thanks to Elon Musk and X, Americans can easily obtain a great deal of opinions and information.
One example is Sen. Joni Ernst and her posturing against Pete Hegseth. Her words could not be kept hidden, people dug into her record and discovered her vulnerabilities and reminded her of an upcoming primary if she does not conform. Also, Mike Johnson has seemingly lost all trust as a result of the CR proposal. But demanding everyone to be 100% MAGA is a problem too—the coalition is not 100% MAGA. It is not 100% anything.
The Left has refused to learn absolutely anything from November 5th except the lesson that America is much more racist than they thought. Good, may they stick with that. They have no new ideas other than getting “ugly.”
Hell, they stuck ‘congressional pay raise’ in the CR, for God’s sake. They obviously forgot the propaganda media is no longer the sole source of information.
That’s why they hate Elon Musk.
That’s why they are trying to use Alinsky Rule No. 13 (‘Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.’) against him.
