“But Trump!” isn’t a policy.
The Democrat’s use of “But Trump!” will be an effective policy – if it is allowed to be.
The reason so many continue to support President Trump is that while many don’t care for him personally, we do identify with the persecution he has suffered since the day he rode down the Trump Tower escalator in 2015.
Perhaps more than any individual in modern history, Trump has been the target of a political party, every left-wing movement, and the Deep State. The efforts of these entities have come full circle, first trying to keep him out of office, then trying to take him out of office and now we are back to them trying to keep him out of office – and in any way possible.
People with a healthy skepticism of government get that.
The issue for the right is that when we focus on what the government is doing to one person, we lose sight of what they are doing to everyone else.
And that is exactly what the Democrats hope will happen because it allows them to roll their entire pitch into a referendum on one man. You either like Trump or you don’t. Fake votes aside, that’s why we have a walking corpse for a President today.
Polls show that 63% of the American people are focused on crime, inflation, high gas prices, the general economy, and the cost of basics at the grocery store. 75% think the country is going in the wrong direction and 69% believe the economy is going to get worse.
School performance is the worst in history, classrooms have become jail cells of sexualization, justice is arbitrary and capricious, and the federal government is trying to bankrupt the nation. Homelessness and illegal immigration are both a historic levels. Every Democrat state and local leader is being exposed as hypocrites and liars.
Democrats just passed a bill, and their President signed it into law, that they admitted immediately after it was signed that it will never do what they claimed it would do.
In a sane time, those numbers and realities would signal a massacre for the political party in control.
That’s why the Democrats are making this about Trump.
And for now, it appears to be working.
Blake Masters trails the totally ineffective Mark Kelly in Arizona. Herschel Walker is polling double digits behind the reprehensible Raphael Warnock in Georgia and in a stunner to me, GOP incumbent Ron Johnson is down to his challenger, Mandela Barnes.
Minority Leader Yertle the Turtle just poured cold water on the GOP retaking the Senate.
And the House races that just months ago looked like a wipeout for Democrats are tightening.
The situations President Trump is facing are truly historic but are a desperate attempt for a failed political party and Presidency to focus the American mind away from the dumpster fire outside our doors.
That’s why they still, nearly two years after the President left office, try to make everything a referendum about Trump.
I support President Trump and want him curb stomp these Deep State and NeverTrump sons-of-bitches, but we must mind the store and stock it with people who support his positive, prosperous America First agenda (one very similar with the platform Reagan ran and won on).
Just don’t forget with the left’s Satanic angel, Saul Alinsky wrote:
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)”
That is how they distract from their inarguably horrid record for America.
No doubt we need better candidates, but that is true every election cycle. The fact is in this environment a ham sandwich that represents America First policies should be able to be elected.
The next two election cycles are ours to lose.
Let’s not do that.
"Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)"
The left are masters at this, and not only in demonizing Trump. Just think of the aspersions we've all faced for holding traditional, Biblical values: homophobe, Islamophobe, transphobe, racist (one of their biggest cries). They've worked hard at, and in many ways succeeded in, making people feel wrong for being right. It's the only way they can make inroads for implementing their agenda, because if they had never cast such aspersions, the majority of people could never be brainwashed enough to support the lunacy we now see playing out across the country.
As I see it, Trump more than earned the right to the GOP nomination. He’s the first politician I’ve seen who kept his promises— and he did it under extreme Democrat duress! I’m tired of Republicans who want to play nice. The Dems never do.
