Yet again, I say: TINVOWOOT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are approaching eight years since Trump descended the golden escalator of Trump Tower; in many ways the decline has accelerated. The Republican establishment, however, does not seem to have learned much in the intervening years, and still has very little to offer. This was most clearly on display during the midterm elections when, despite the smug predictions of an inevitable \u201cred wave,\u201d some were keen on the idea that some hollow \u201cCommitment to America\u201d would motivate voters to overwhelm the polls.<\/p>\n

To the surprise of no one who has not been in the establishment or a coma, it failed. Perhaps for good reason, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blithely informed us following the GOP\u2019s embarrassing midterm performance that providing military aid for the Ukraine should be our top<\/em> priority, and a dozen more of our Grand Old Party elected officials voted in favor of codifying the redefinition of marriage.<\/p>\n

Our elites ruthlessly trample upon the very foundations of America; they seek to destroy the good, deny beauty, and ultimately lead souls on the path to destruction. This unsustainable ideology has produced nothing but depression, confusion, and harm.<\/p>\n

Yet, in a civilization at its breaking point, where one is reprimanded for espousing basic truths, this major party has nothing positive to offer. Have they been so deflated by the lies from our enemies\u2019 tongues, that the absolute best we can look forward to is forbidding scandalizing sexual education policies until third grade? Once the child hits the age of 9, all bets are off?<\/p>\n

A soft-spoken, low-energy politician with a \u201cserious strategy,\u201d simply clinging onto the toothless abstractions of freedom and individualism is insufficient. The summation of the Right\u2019s worldview\u2014should it provide a muscular alternative to the current course of decline\u2014cannot simply be: but we\u2019re not them!<\/em><\/p>\n

As Peter Thiel reminded us at the 2022 National Conservatism conference, even Florida in 2022 fails to provide the foundation for a long-term alternative model to the one offered by California.<\/p>\n

America needs a proven leader, and a visionary to capture the intangible\u2014someone who will not merely motivate the masses to get to the polls but who can craft a meaningful vision in which Americans can place their hope. It needs a vision for American excellence: a sovereign nation under God that embraces Truth, not rejects it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Any such person is doomed from the git-go by those very qualities, and has no more chance of becoming President in our entirely rigged system than I do. \u201cBut we\u2019re not them\u201d? Au contraire, mon frere<\/em>: you absolutely, positively ARE them, which is the root of the whole problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
