MAGA can win by dropping the term “ Conservative” and replacing it with “Pragmatic, Free Thinker”, “ We The People” ,” Independent ( We’re all unique individuals/We all have something to add/We all deserve a voice/ Were better together)… Stop saying they’re “ liberal” as a derogatory term. They’re NOT liberal. The No Longer Recognizable Dems are antithetical to liberalism. They’re totalitarian CommunoFascist Technocrats. They are ushering in the Post 1984 Brave New World that Huxley so presciently warned of. Expose it! Hammer it. Explain it. Nobody dares mention it! Why, goddammit?

Create some new catchphrases. Something culturally hip that serves as a wake up call. “ Huxley Was Right!”. “ I’m John Galt”, “ “ Justice For Howard Beale”… Enough with the Lee Greenwood country music!!

Nailed it Gail; they are not “liberal” in that they do not agree with “live & let live”. It’s “woke uber alles” & you will salute/march in lock-step or you will be canceled/fired/shunned from “polite” society. Used to drive me nuts when I’d hear El Rushbo refer to them as “liberals” especially during Trump. They are an illegal group who have morphed into just that which they claim to hate: fascists.

Fascism was defined by its creator Benito Mussolini as the “melding of corpora& political power.”

I think of our side as the “nonWoke” side rather than the conservative or right side. We really do have a huge range of people on our side with a common set of basics like free speech, secure borders, safe city streets and a commitment to meritocracy rather than Equity aka race based Equal Outcomes.

The Conservative Fundamentalists and Establishment GOP hate the aforementioned. Which means we need more of them out there. Trump MUST use great surrogates.

We’re losing 95% of the Republican held seats in Florida due to DeSantis’ draconian crusade( no pun intended). If we don’t save America, they can forget saving “ the unborn”. Most of us are freaking out about the future of our children who are ex-utero.

It's true that most thinking people can no longer ignore the fact that the economy and crime are closing in on all walks of life, even putting a stranglehold on Democrat run cities etc. , but until the braindead and brainwashed every -day Democrat is personally robbed, raped, or murdered they will "vote blue no matter who."

“even putting a stranglehold on Democrat run cities etc.”

I live in Chicago and that sure is the truth here. It’s actually the blacks here though who are by far the most disillusioned with the democrats. Listen to at least the first couple of minutes from this Black Conservative Perspective video of an elderly (80) black woman telling the mayor, Brandon Johnson, he is a disgrace and he has ruined her black community on the south side by flooding it with illegals. Just imagine how white democrats would be screaming about racism if the people in these videos condemning the migrants were white instead of black. They’d be hysterical. Even Biden, Kamala and their media would be condemning it, big time.

The only way to beat the progressive/socialists is to utterly defeat them. It is within reach, but all those non voters need to be encouraged to show up.

Many of the non voters are too stupid to show up. Last year in Chicago the major issue by far was the out of control crime. The two run off candidates were a white moderate named Paul Vallas and a very far left Woke fanatic named Brandon Johnson who hates cops and loves illegals. Only a third of eligible voters showed up to vote and Brandon won by something like 51 to 49%. Now even most of those who voted for him hate him but we’re stuck with him for another two years. What good is democracy if it produces results like this?

It funny you mention Jim Jones. It was Pelosi, Willie Brown, Roslyn and Dhimmi Carter and Kamala’s father who secured the property in Guyana for Jones. His Socialist Multiracial Agrarian Utopia. Pol Pot coined the term first, minus the multiracial platitude.

Not to worry. I’m not an acolyte. Disgusted better describes my level of piety. Trump had great ideas in 2016. He was more Perot than Reagan. Disclaimer: I know Trump personally. Worked alongside him for two years while designing Derek Jeter’s penthouse crib in the then new Trump World Tower. This is not the same Trump I so enjoyed chatting with nearly 4 days per week. Currently, l loathe him much of the time. I so hoped he opt for Tulsi as veep. Had he done so before the first assassination attempt- God forgive me, but had it not been a miss, I’d be doing pirouettes on a high wire celebrating… When Vance was announced, I sobbed. I rarely cry, but the tears folded my face. And I hated Trump at that moment with the passion of a thousand fiery suns.

There are myriad episodes of Trump’s awful, unwarranted and often preemptive ad hominem attacks, stupid, impulsive/compulsive tweets, puerile nicknames, crude, over the top boorish behavior sicken me. I so wish an exciting, charismatic contender who would employ most of his policies and new ideas as well was given the opportunity. It was very selfish of him to burst back in and take over.

We are living in a crucial moment of history that may be an epoch. Like the Hindu Kali Yuga, biblical apocalypse or any such philosophy. The Great Reset/ Agenda 2030 appears to be a concomitant Brave New World, 1984-Animal Farm-Island of Dr Moreau, Das Kapital, Mein Kampf, I, Robot, Clockwork Orange,The Prince, Fahrenheit,Stepford Wives, Logan’s Run,Minority Report, Soylent Green, Twilight Zone anthology… used as a playbook.

I do believe the election was stolen. There were too many anomalies , absurdities , whistle blowers, caught on camera episodes. The “ Stop The Steal Rally” was organic and began building steam prior to Trump’s involvement. But never underestimate Pelosi. She was up to her eyeballs in it. Our system is so corrupt and broken we may only turn it around by purging , eliminating taking players to task en masse and either revising, rebranding and rebuilding the parties or, as I d prefer, scrap them and devise systems that work. “ we the People” have been sleepwalking for many decades. This didn’t happen overnight. But they had to get rid of Trump at any and all cost. It’s no longer right/left. It’s globalism/sovereignty under the guise of haves and have nots.

I agree with your assessment of our obvious need to screech the brakes but I think your personal history with Trump is blinding you to the necessity of his prominence for the country. I don’t know that I’m expressing myself correctly, but we need a big bull in the China shop and he is it. If not him, who? You? Current Democrats are the most corrosive and hateful people that I’ve ever seen in politics and we need to wipe them off the face of the map before they destroy us. Don’t hate the messenger(Trump), hate the insidious dangerous enemy devoted to the destruction of our fought-for-with-blood Republic (The Blob, Obama/Clinton/Biden). Harris & Walz are ridiculous place holders. That anyone would vote for these losers is the most disturbing thing of my voting life. VOTE TRUMP TO SAVE AMERICA EVEN IF YOU HATE HIM!!

I have a bit of a different take on the significance of Trump. Without disputing anything you say, I think in the long run, he is important for exposing the rot at the core of the Republican Party. Those 750+ Bushies who endorsed Harris would be the ones who would staff the 2nd and 3rd level of a restored GOPe regime. They must never be let back in. We need to develop our own cadres.

Yeah. That's a bit over the top for me, but who knows? I find comfort in the idea that extreme claims should require evidence. Otherwise I'm not gonna jump on that train.. As far as "scrapping" the old system goes, historically this kind of utopian thinking has lead to war and death.

Not for me. No human should be trusted to "devise systems that work" or do purges. Give people power and without exception they will devise systems that work - for them at your expense.

Better the current system, with all its corruption and a leader switched out every four or eight years. Maybe the election was stolen, as you believe. IF so, this type of presidential theivery resulted in switching out the clans every 4-8 years.

Ridiculous. We have never had open borders. Who told you that? Harris? Historically, immigrants were vetted and had a naturalization process and did not pour over the border, bussed and flown to cities and towns all over the country, given money and housing courtesy of the American taxpayers without their consent, able to just settle in without a care in the world. Remember ICE?? They found illegals & deported them. Until certain politicians decided they could get more votes by demonizing ICE and border patrol. Good Lord. Wake up.

If you were anywhere near as intelligent as you like to think you are you’d be appalled and horrified by what these links say about what’s happening to major cities like NYC and Chicago. And we can’t deport these Venezuelan gangs because Venezuela refuses to accept them. They’re America’s dilemma now thanks to your despicable Democratic Party which has ruined this country.

For the past three days I have been combing the latest polls, news and a commentary across a very broad range of opinion - far left to far right - as I always do. Tonight, before reading Bannon's letter posted here, I came to the same conclusion: Harris has peaked and Trump is starting to regain his footing and support. Today's Bloomberg poll put Harris back on top in the battleground states but Bloomberg polls have been extreme outliers since June. Including this one, they have a 4-point bias toward Harris compared to other polls in the RCP average. Take that one poll away and the trend toward Trump over the last week is hard to miss. Further, MSM pundits have started asking, though not yet demanding, more substance from Harris. They have not been getting it and they are saying so. This week's interview with MSNBC, for example, hurt Harris with her followers and independents. On top of that the war between Israel and Hezbollah (yes, it is a war) is going well for Israel which hurts Harris. And, finally, Trump has found a five word question that hits Harris hard each time she makes a vague promise to improve one aspect of our country or another: "Why haven't you done this?" It is a lethal question which ties Harris back to the incompetence of the Biden administration and a question she has not been able answer.

I appreciate the call to arms, and yes we could win hands-down if it were a fair fight.

But what about the hundreds of thousand of ballots that are being delivered to bogus and ineligible addresses in swing states — churches, gyms, social service agencies, Wal-Marts? These blank ballots are being collected by Leftist non-profit organizations, illegally filled out, and then held until the election to just barely put Kamala over the top when they’re put in drop-boxes and scanned right in front of conservative poll watchers.

All the dishonest polling provides plausibility for a Harris election night miracle, even though every illegal immigrant has been registered to vote so that their ballot can be harvested and illegally voted.

Casting this fight as a fair one where the best Get-Out-The-Vote team wins just sets us up for disaster. Check out StopBogusBallots.com

On his very first day in office in Jan 2021 Biden issued an Executive Order for all government agencies to be committed to “Equity” aka race based Equal Outcomes and we’ve now reached the point where even our medical schools are being dumbed down to achieve this. Why do you hate meritocracy? Because it has a “disparate impact” on blacks which to democrats is irrefutable proof of racism. You people are insane.

“Editor’s Note: America is at war. This is not a traditional war, fought on a battlefield against an external enemy. It is a civilizational conflict against an internal enemy: the group quota regime, a revolutionary threat that seeks to reorganize American society around the principle of outcome equality — what the regime’s partisans call “equity.”

“This cold civil war may go unnoticed by many day-to-day, but its stakes are often as high as life and death. Here, Roger B. Cohen, a celebrated oncologist and professor in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, explains how the group quota regime has taken hold of the American medical education system and asks urgent questions about the consequences for medicine, for the sick, and for the country.”
