This Is Exactly What I Said We Should Be Afraid Of
It’s Wednesday morning, May 24, 2023 and DeSantis is expected to announce his candidacy this evening. The mudpies are being crafted, the consultants and strategists, pundits and minions are all girding for battle. And we on the Right will be witness to a completely unnecessary duel that will make us look like fools, take the heat off the REAL fools in the Administration, drain economic and political capital resources, further polarize the Right and potentially result in some woke Leftist walking into the Oval Office in January 2025 without having to utter a word.
When, if ever, will anti-woke, patriotic Traditionalists, whether conservative, MAGA, moderate, reactionary, Old Guard or Populist America First realize that we’re in a wrestling match with pigs. None of the previous rules matter. Civility, truth, statesmanlike persuasion, FACTS, REALITY…all are out the window!
If this country is to be saved, we have to adopt the Jack Bauer persona FIGHTING LIKE HELL for what’s right NO MATTER WHAT!
Aren’t you as shocked as I that the country could go so far downhill SO FAST into the unrecognizable chaos and bizarro-world we now see? Yeah, well it has and I’m reminded of the old saying, “Some people make things happen. Some people watch things happen. Some people wonder, “What happened”?
The wake up calls, the handwriting on the walls IN NEON LIGHTS have been here since Clinton came out of nowhere and started peddling recycled hippie tropes from the 60’s to the delight of the lazy, uneducated, brain-addled Millennials and Gen Xr’s. Like cancer, liberal became virulent WOKE and has now metastasized to every corner of our society such that now we actually need a counter-revolution to save the country.
Who best to lead this fight? I will vote for ANYONE who runs against the Democrat candidate.
But as one of my favorite authors, Kurt Schlichter put it:
“The GOP’s decision in 2024 is solely over the identity of the general who will take command. Will it be the cold, calculating, ruthlessly effective DeSantis, or the unstoppable juggernaut that is Donald Trump? Both will rain down destruction upon our enemies – Ron the precision Hellfire and Don the massive MOAB.
The real difference between the two is electability – that is, who is most likely to win in the general election? The polls are all over the place and useless 18 months out, but we do have some indicators. The 2020 election, and subsequent ones, show Trump has a sub-majority ceiling. That’s a problem and it’s not likely to change – he threaded the needle once and maybe he can do it again, but hoping to get lucky twice is not a plan. The fact is that some people, including Republicans who should know better, irrationally hate him and will never vote for him. Of course, some Republicans will never vote for anyone else. We know both guys hate wokeness, communism, crime and all the other aspects of the Democrat agenda. What we need to know is how they each propose to win in PA, GA, AZ, MI, and WI.
This race is about winning and only about winning.”
IMHO, while I viscerally dislike Trump’s style, his playground bully persona, his inability to string two English sentences together without repeating himself five times… in these perilous, no-holds-barred times, we need a STREET FIGHTER to lead the Counter Revolution. Trump has proven himself to be just that. DeSantis, so good in so many ways, doesn’t have the brawling prowess that Trump has. DeSantis has the potential to become the statesmanlike heir to the American Renaissance that is needed post the War that will have to be fought by a Republican in the White House in the next Administration. Either could defeat the Democrats in 2024 given a fair election (a critical caveat…see my earlier posts on the subject of Election Integrity), but not only do we need to defeat the Left, the SWAMP has to be dismantled, and a bully will be needed to accomplish that.
The moving parts, wild cards and potential Black Swans out there for the next 18 months are simply too numerous to allow a serious prognostication as to what WILL happen. What I hope DOES happen is that somehow the coming internecine battle sorts itself out without too much irrevocable damage such that we can unite, clean up the system and restore America to what it should be. My hope and prayer is that the coming battle between the Trump and DeSantis factions doesn’t destroy the Traditionalist army needed to defeat and cast on the ash-heap of history the evil, Leftist ideology threatening to take over our world.
Keep your seat belts fastened, and
“Illegitimi non carborundum”.
