THE ENEMY WITHIN

How Republicans Handed Away the Midterms While Fighting Their Own Party

THE ENEMY WITHIN

Good morning, my friends.

Well, we had tumultuous times Tuesday night. It appears the Republicans were, in fact, blown out. I must admit that this is much more than the normal midterm mayhem. I was shocked by Texas!

I am hearing the results blamed on everything from bad candidates to the war in Iran, the cost of living, and the collapse in support among Millennial, Gen Z, Black and Hispanic voters. I am sure the Republican establishment will blame Trump, the Democrats will call it a mandate for their socialist policies, and Trump will blame who knows what.

But here are my thoughts.

________________________________________

THE REAL REASON IS INSIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

________________________________________

The real blame goes to the lack of effectiveness of Republicans in passing legislation that extends Trump's executive orders into lasting law and their inability to pull the Republican establishment together to pass laws like the SAVE America Act.

Republican voters are just worn out. They are tired of their own party having all three branches of government and not being able to accomplish anything. We see what must be done, but we also see time after time our party fails because of the establishment power struggle inside the GOP.

Is there some truth to voter anger over the Democrats' new self-defined affordability issue, or lack thereof? Sure, but to really accept that redefinition, we must also admit that American citizens are so oblivious that they forget where gas prices and inflation were just two short years ago under Biden.

We would have to believe they miss the Biden socialist mask mandates and school closings, the autopen, the media cover-up of the Biden years. Perhaps they miss open borders.

We would have to believe our nation is a nation of halfwits. Now, I know there are some who fall into this category, and mental illness is an epidemic, but I reject the average American voter is that ignorant. I think what we are seeing is not a backing of Democratic policies or the socialist movement in this nation.

I don't think we are even seeing a huge shift in any political voting groups.

What I believe we saw was the absolute rejection of the Republican establishment and their lack of ability or intention to pass legislation.

THE WAR WITHIN THE GOP

________________________________________

This was all caused by the internal conflict within the Republican Party, with establishment Republicans like John Thune working against passing laws to support real conservative values. He even failed to get The SAVE America Act passed that was supported by 80% of Americans regardless of political affiliation.

What caused Trump to not endorse candidates like John Cornyn was the lack of response in the Senate to pass legislation to support his executive orders that we voted for in 2024.

President Trump knew the Senate was filled with still Bush GOP politocrats hoping for failure so they could regain power, but we all hoped they would choose America over socialism, communism and Islam. We hoped they would choose our freedom and maintaining our constitutional republic over their power, but they did not.

We saw establishment Republicans like Karl Rove, the Bushes and their ilk think that if Trump fails, no matter what it costs this country, they can regain power. That is their only goal. Not to fix this nation, but to have power and control over it.

It is their lust for power that drives them and divides the GOP. They are not concerned about the good of the citizens and the country.

So, their answer was to turn George Bush's Texas blue and support one of the most wacked-out candidates I have ever seen be elected to the U.S. Senate for the next six years, while supporting the Democratic governor candidate running against who effectively saved our nation during Biden's open-border policies.

Of course, we know where Bush stands on borders. We fought it the entire time he was governor of Texas and then president. By the way, I lived in Texas at the time I saw it firsthand.

I believe this midterm debacle was driven by the power struggle that caused the Republican Party to fail to pass real legislation to save this nation.

Let me say this: Establishment, if it means giving you back the reins of power you held for 50 years just so we can get back to where we were, to the same group that created the corrupt deep state and the uniparty, I think you will cause the destruction of the United States of America because we are not going back.

And maybe that is your goal, because you are clearly part of the OWO.

Let me assure you, MAGA is not interested.

REPUBLICAN VOTERS HAVE SOME REFLECTING TO DO

________________________________________

Here is my voter take on the midterms. I believe many Republican voters really made a huge mistake, either by sitting this election out or by voting democrat because they didn't like something about Trump or their candidate.

Some Republican voters seem to suffer from delusions of perfection.

They seem to think that if a Republican candidate isn't perfect, doesn't agree with them 100% of the time, or has flaws of some kind, they are unable to vote for them.

While the Democrats could care less if their candidate has flaws, lies, breaks laws, or not have any morals at all, sometimes it seems like it makes them more popular with Democrat voters now days.

Yet the establishment Republicans don't understand why we lost.

So, their alternative was thinking a better option was not to vote for their flawed candidate and then work to help them get to what you wanted? No. You thought it was a better option to vote for the other side's socialist, flawed candidates, whose results you have already seen and that has caused the majority of what you are now complaining about.

OK, GOTCHA… Rolls eyes.

YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT YOU HELPED CREATE

________________________________________

So, for all the Republicans with delusions of perfection and establishment Bushies who stayed home or voted Democrat, remember this.

You thought your candidate was so flawed that you refused to support them. You felt the economy was so bad that you should vote for the people who, just two years ago, had this country's economy plummeting. People who not only do not agree with you but are in fact working to try to destroy everything you do believe in.

So let me understand this, because gas was too high, you voted for the people who hate fossil fuels, who tried to shut it down, who had even higher gas prices and the highest inflation in my lifetime, without the excuse of a war that will end and fix it. They had it because that was their policy and that is what they wanted.

The Democrat way has no end to high gas prices. In fact, that is their goal: to drive you out of the market.

You watched this president try to bring this nation back, dragging the Democrats and half of the Republican establishment along, kicking and screaming, never getting help from his own party. I blame the Senate mostly.

Establishment voters while you were busy trying to get your way, you just allowed socialists, communists and Muslims into your government. Boy you sure showed us!

I vote because I am not a quitter, and I will not give up on this nation because I expect candidates to be perfect or less flawed than myself.

I can still remember what happened two short years ago because I pay attention and my agenda is the good of a constitutional America not my power.

FOUR PARTIES, ONE COUNTRY

________________________________________

I believe what we are seeing at this moment in history is that, effectively, we have four parties:

• The establishment RINOs.

• The establishment Democrats.

• MAGA

• The Socialist Democrats of America.

Maybe just three parties, because the establishment of both parties is the uniparty. Maybe it’s just time we break out and cut the BS.

You have one side not perfect but at least some are trying, so victorious voters you will soon see once again the other side is crazy. I hope you understand your plan worked perfectly and you deserve what you get.

I would like to tell you that you will reap what you sow, but sadly, even if I am correct, you won't remember by the next election anyway!

Don’t get me wrong I do not mean all or even most republicans, but enough.

I sadly fear the only thing we really learned from the midterm election is that many establishment Republicans really are as ignorant as the Democrats.
