After the GOP essentially held a coronation of the former president last year, ending on caucus night in January, it was clear that those of us looking to wrest back this nation from the cultural Marxists who’ve taken over every institution of importance in the country would get exactly zero assistance from the GOP nominee.
We’ve seen some progress against the forces of darkness here in Iowa, but we’re just scratching the surface in this fight for the soul of this state, not to mention this country as a whole. The most successful pushback we’ve seen anywhere in the country has been through the exemplary leadership of Ron DeSantis in Florida. There are very few other victories to lift up since 2016, when the GOP primary electorate hitched its wagon to the void of principles avatar that is Donald Trump.
You see, Donald Trump will glom onto rhetoric that entices low information people on the right, and because these people don’t take the time to actually look at outcomes and the process by which those outcomes are achieved, they see him as some sort of hero because “he fights”. In reality, he flails about like a fish thrown onto the bank after being pulled out of the water. Donald isn’t a man of any core values. He’s a utilitarian ethicist who will try to be everything to everyone, but in reality, all he is is a boat anchor on the effort to combat the cultural rot in this country.
Because of the former president’s penchant for unrestrained rhetoric, backed up by nothing, he’s a perfect foil for the forces of cultural darkness. He’s the essence of what it means to be controlled opposition.
Two things stick out on this front. His endorsements and his new rhetoric on the issue of life. Trump’s most fervent supporters mistakenly believe that he’s against the establishment in DC. In reality, he’s doing the bidding of the DC insiders by endorsing moderate to left leaning Republicans in primaries where there exists a much better challenger or incumbent in the primary. The two best examples of this are the House races in Virginia with Bob Good and in South Carolina with William Timmons. Trump is supporting a primary against Good because Good dared to endorse Ron DeSantis last year. He’s one of the most consistent conservative voices in DC but he didn’t kiss the ring quick enough. He has to go and that helps the establishment. On the converse of that race, Trump is backing the establishment candidate in William Timmons, a moral reprobate of a man, in a race against challenger, Adam Morgan. Morgan is the chairman of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus and one of the best men to run for Congress in a generation. Trump’s endorsements are a drag on the effort to restore fiscal and moral integrity to Congress.
On the issue of life, instead of lifting up a culture of life as being the most important fundamental right, he’s chosen to be a that fish flopping around on the bank. Last year, he called abortion restrictions like those signed by Ron DeSantis “terrible”. He’s given up on a message of life being the preeminent right, in direct contradiction to our Declaration of Independence, and has now chosen to basically take on the position of a 90s Democrat. I guess he’s just reverting to form.
For these reasons and many more, this has now become the least consequential presidential election of my lifetime. I will vote in my state senate, house, and sheriff races here in Iowa. Outside of that, I have no one to cast a vote for this fall. I urge others to get involved locally. Nothing good will come from this presidential election.
