Cuban Americans don’t like far-left policies that remind them of socialist policies they fled. Black Americans care about school choice, economic opportunities, and minority communities are deeply religious. They care about safety and stability, and watching Democrats like Joe Biden cozy up to “defund the police” movements by being open to “reallocating funds,” was an error. Yes, Covid-19 factored into the election, but Americans are also over lockdowns. Trump said we should open the country. Biden said we’re in for a dark winter and wants to enforce unconstitutional federal mask mandates.
Whatever happens, moving forward, Republicans have to analyze the good about the Trump campaign. Establishment Republicans are eager to blot him out of existence, but his willingness to fight boldly against a broken and corrupt system is what drew in record crowds and historic turnout to the polls. Americans were sick of politicians who don’t keep their promises, endless wars, seeing their jobs go overseas, rising energy prices, and losing the fight in the culture war.
If folks like Cindy McCain and Michael Steele believe they’re the future of the Republican Party, they’re sadly mistaken. Mitt Romney couldn’t dream of building this type of coalition. Jeff Flake would rather concede to the Democrats and see policies he supports—like school choice—be obliterated, just to go back to the days of grinning and bearing losses.
The only reason Donald Trump became president is that he filled a void. Every supporter of the president understands his faults and flaws, even more than his critics. But they stand with Trump because he stands for them. If Republicans don’t find other candidates like Trump who will boldly stand against the establishment for the sake of the American people, they won’t be able to build on his lead.
The reason why so many people take offense to my slavery analogies is that hindsight grants them moral superiority on the issue of slavery, and they’re offended that I would dare to sully their support of child sacrifice in such a way. The reality is that many of these uppity abortion advocates would have likely supported slavery back in the day. They would have been products of the culture, just like they’re the products of today.
