Some conservatives, rejoicing that impeachment turned into yet another of #TheResistance’s political train wrecks and that President Trump is likely to be reelected by a bigger margin than in 2016, expect that a chastened ruling class will return to respecting the rest of us. They are mistaken.
Trump’s reelection, by itself, cannot protect us. The ruling class’s intolerance of the 2016 election’s results was intolerance of us.
(Snip) Trump notwithstanding, this class will rule henceforth as it has in the past three years. So long as its hold on American institutions continues to grow, and they retain millions of clients, elections won’t really matter.

The last sentence says it all. It is pure Donald John Trump. We must stand up against this assault with the same fierceness as the President has.

The November election means everything. Not only will the democrats lose the presidency but both the House and Senate will be lost to them and many democrat leaders of failing states and cities are going to fall. The American people have seen what success looks like and they want to keep it. We can help by stamping out leftists at all levels with a little effort because they are now weakened beyond recovery and their brand is broken.

Respect? Nobody gets respect anymore, not just poor Rodney. Why? Because too many are very comfortable letting others concern themselves with "politics", always going along to get along, mindlessly absorbing all the propaganda that are morning and afternoon television and advertisers around the clock, besides the usual "news" outlets pump into the public square, and voicing drivel.
We've all been taken as rubes for years, at least since Bill and Hil first began their overdrive assault grabbing the big money with zero remorse, the scams spreading throughout government and celebrity world.
We've been taken to what is nearly two decades of war without end. We have become the mercenary force of choice, the defenders of the effete.
And we have allowed all politicians to abuse the full faith and credit of the United State to enrich themselves, their families and enablers.
We are proud when tax revenues go up...and don't yelp much when spending and the deficit rises even faster.
And then there is the hue and cry for "free stuff" from all corners.
Want respect? The American public must do something to earn it. Think about that come November. It's not just my crook involved in this...it's your crook, too.

Indeed it is high time. And while we are at it, we need to admit the full truth not just the obvious unavoidable recent manifestations. We aligned ourselves with communists on 16 November 1933 when we recognized the brutal regime right after they systematically starved somewhere between 3 and 10 million of their people. We sided with one side in a war between two dictatorial despots for the domination of Europe and major parts of the rest of the world in WWII. We allowed Soviet communists to occupy the right hand of our own government, participating in planning the war and negotiating how the new world order would sort out and be divided, Harry Hopkins, Harry Dexter White, and Alger Hiss. We provided Stalin the plans, uranium and aluminum to become a nuclear power.
This is no accidental or natural slide toward bigger government which our founders foresaw and warned us of. A degree of that was to be expected, as was the occasional conflict in reining government back in.
What we are seeing today is the culmination of the systematic intervention of a foreign power, a communist power. This is no internal revolution it is a foreign war with a 5th column seated in our government.
“We can’t expect the American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.” Nikita Khrushchev

The revolution is real. The left will see to it. It is beyond a "hate Trump" thing at this stage. Recall that Obie, W, BJ, and HW all made it clear that a new world order is America's future. Don't believe for a minute that the left will stop and pause until Trump leaves office. We on the right must stand up and fight this insurgency...until it is gone.

I'm sorry but I feel the need to post this. I think what we are seeing is the fight between good and evil. Every leftist, progressive, liberal I've met is an atheist. Every conservative a Christian. Am I simplifying world events? Maybe so. When I've tried to explain why Donald Trump is good for our country, and the world, I get pure hatred in return. This fight is going to get ugly because they are mad as hell.

For the last 60 years or more the Left has been comprehensively occupying the "commanding heights" of our socio-political institutions. Today, the Left is in essentially complete control of government schools, academia, law schools, Hollywood, and large city government. A young person will spend their entire life under this control, from what they learn in school, what they're taught in college, how their votes are tallied (or not), and what statutory law is subverted by Left-wing activist judges.
The Right has to act and the time is now, while we have a remarkable fighter in the White House.

Conservatives have ceded the entire educational system to the Left. Parents began allowing the schools to educa…. to indoctrinate their children, to imbue the children with their moral and ethical principles, derived from the atheistic, nihilistic Left.
If we want change, real change which starts at the roots, Conservatives must get involved with fundamental education. The Left has been very smart about this. They take the long view. Repubs see one day at a time. The Left has steadily, indefatigably taken control over education, religious institutions including seminaries (where in some cases you can't even profess your faith in Christ as Savior, which a friend who was a graduate student at Harvard Theological Seminary discovered... and quit), the arts, television, and all the news media.
The REPUBLICAN Party is naïve, such that they resisted Conservative calls for becoming aware of real dangers and limited time to fight back. FIGHT, a word squeamish Repubs don't like. Meanwhile, their organization has been crumbling, and would have utterly collapsed had Donald Trump not risen to the challenge of saving the country from socialism. He's the unlikely one. He's not a "purist", but he's clear-eyed about the total destructiveness of socialism. Why else would the Dems so completely loathe him?
Every campaign stop must be seen as an opportunity to educate on some feature essential to liberty. Have a reading list. And then, stress the absolute essential that they go out and vote Republican. Because you and I know that when --if-- the Dem/Left regains majorities, THEY are the ones who will wield power tyrannically. You hear it from every Dem presidential candidate.

This includes an analysis of Justice Roberts refusing to read Sen. Rand Paul's question as evidence of the reach of the ruling class's rules. He concludes that we're facing a revolution and we'll lose unless we fight as hard as they're fighting, even though we may have to adopt some of their repulsive tactics.
