THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
about our government’s funding of risky gain-of-function research. And Americans are increasingly seeing him and his free-market, smaller-government approach as a viable alternative to the Biden administration’s liberal policy. And again, there’s Donald Trump himself. My sources say he intends to run – and if that’s the case three years from now, all bets on the rest of the GOP field are off. I suspect he would secure the nomination, as many in the party would fear running against him, but it remains to be seen if he is able to successfully counter the massive resistance by the mainstream media – including Big Tech. The other elephant in the room is the need to “get out the vote” in a streamlined, efficient, and effective way. Though Trump would insist the election was “rigged” against him, the priority for Republicans at this point needs to be making sure that the sanctity of our elections is protected, while simultaneously understanding that, in some states, it’s simply a new era. It’s possible that absentee ballots will be the wave of the future in blue states. Democrats have proven to be quite skilled at canvassing neighborhoods and ensuring their constituents vote... Why shouldn’t Republicans do the same? In other words, conservatives should be just as committed to legal grassroots efforts as Democrats in order to best ensure voter turnout. Rather than complain, why not triple the efforts and become just as creative, or more creative, at winning strategies?
A UNITED FRONT Most importantly, whoever the nominee, the GOP needs to focus on crafting a united message against high taxes and big government. The reality is America’s standard of living and way of life is very much at stake. If there’s no reasonable counterweight to the socialist-style economic proposals from the Left, then we risk four more years of the Biden/Harris administration. Republicans would be smart, at this moment in time, to focus less on internal bickering and Trump (hint Congresswoman Liz Cheney and Senator Mitt Romney), and instead on the need for having a united message that embraces some of the most important policy aspects of the Trump movement – including lower taxes, actual borders (complete with a more transparent, less bureaucratic immigration program... the “red carpet” for those we want and need, as Trump himself once said), and less regulation. The Biden administration has been quite explicit in its desire to put wealth redistribution ahead of actual economic growth. This is why it’s so critical that Republicans – and independents who care about prosperity – focus on the policy goals needed to secure a brighter economic future for all. To do this, it means being committed to a set of ideals and embracing the best economic policy initiatives of the Trump administration. Whoever the candidate is in 2024, the infighting will need to stop for the health of the party and the country.
