Another election, another round of recriminations.
At the January meeting, Ms. McDaniel said, “We heard you, grassroots. We know. ... With us united and all of us joining together, the Democrats are going to hear us in 2024.”
And as for “hearing the grassroots,” on April 15, Scott Presler—who has become the Johnny Appleseed of Republican voter registration in state after state—asked Ms. McDaniel the following on X (formerly Twitter):
“I know that President Biden has an ‘army of influencers,’ who are dedicated to reaching the youth. Is there any plan to have an alternative team for the GOP? I’d also like to make the humble suggestion that you do a Twitter space. Thank you for listening.”
Every day since (207 days in a row at this writing), Mr. Presler has politely reposted his request for a response.
Crickets.
So many of our country’s problems are directly attributable to the “sexual revolution”: the breakdown of the family, single motherhood, child poverty and academic underachievement, crime, and the explosion of sexually transmitted diseases in American teenagers (not to mention a host of other related emotional and psychological disorders).
It would be better for women, men, children, and society at large if we valued human beings and respected sexuality as the precious and powerful gift it is within the context of a committed marriage, and not as mere entertainment, the natural consequences of which (children) are either treated as unwanted and expendable, or for which the biological parents are hopelessly unprepared.
But we are unwilling to engage on that issue. And in a culture in which sex is treated as recreation, abortion becomes the inevitable escape valve.
Simple as that.
On Nov. 7, every single voting machine in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, had to be shut down when voters noticed that the machines were “flipping votes.” This, the public was told, was a “coding” error.
In addition to the ease with which electronic voting can be manipulated, we have the very real prospect of noncitizens’ voting. Eight million people are believed to have entered the U.S. illegally since President Biden took office. Fifteen states and the District of Columbia require no photo identification to vote. Add to that the recent proliferation of mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, and you have the very real prospect that people who have no right to vote are casting ballots in U.S. elections.
What we need is mandatory voter identification, a return to paper ballots, in-person voting, and to make Election Day an annual national holiday.
The fractures are there, all right, but President Trump didn’t create them. After years—nay, decades—of mouthing conservative platitudes only to capitulate to the left when elected, the “grassroots” no longer believes anyone from the Republican “establishment,” and words such as “bipartisanship” are signals for “we’ll back down at the first sign of pressure.”
If you really want President Trump out and someone else in, find a candidate who is unafraid to oppose the hardcore left, infuriate Democrats, thumb his (or her) nose at the media, and stand up for ordinary Americans against the weaponized apparatus of the Deep State.
Easy-peasy, right?
As weak as President Joe Biden is, if Republicans are divided, he (or his heir apparent) gets a cakewalk back into the White House. And that’s a consequence no one on the right wants.
