I’ve been saying for decades, if you want to unite conservatives, start messing with our God-given liberty and Constitutional protections
When you ask liberal political commentators about the state of the Republican Party and conservative movement, you hear horror stories about a fractured base and infighting.
As so often is the case with Beltway pundits, their interpretation of things happening at the grassroots level is completely ungrounded from reality. For those of us who attended the recent CPAC confab, what you saw was not a party trying to find its identity post-Trump presidency, but a movement united in its determination to stop Joe Biden and his radical agenda.
The story of a “GOP Civil War” is certainly an interesting media narrative – almost as interesting as the Russia collusion hoax. Both works of fiction were undoubtedly concocted in the same Manhattan skyscrapers and Washington backrooms. The fake news mills are still hard at work.
All you have to do is look at recent history to see what unites conservatives and Republicans. In 1994, it was Bill Clinton’s failed attempt at government run health care, which has become infamously known as the “Hillarycare” fiasco. Clinton’s overreach caused Republicans to take control of the U.S. House for the first time in 40 years on their way to picking up 54 House seats. In 2010, once again, it was government run health care that rallied conservative voters, this time in the form of Obamacare. Republicans picked up an astounding 63 House seats and removed Nancy Pelosi from power for the first time. In addition to Obamacare, government bailouts and the feeling of an “America Last” attitude permeating from Washington caused a Republican tidal wave on Election Day.
Which brings us to 2021 and the circumstances are eerily similar. The radicals on the left just can’t help themselves. Biden’s opening salvo has included the same old playbook: over spending, assaults on the Bill of Rights, bailouts, open borders, and a fundamental indifference about what the forgotten men and women in America care about.
I’ve been saying for decades, if you want to unite conservatives, start messing with our God-given liberty and Constitutional protections. But sending billion dollar taxpayer-funded bailouts to Andrew Cuomo in New York and Gavin Newsom in California to prop up their bankrupt states will fire up conservatives double quick as well.
The recent stories of division are closer to the truth when the party affiliation is flipped. Replace “GOP” with “Democrats” and you get a better idea of why there is such fervor in the biased mainstream media to push this narrative.
Despite having control of the House, Senate, and the White House, the progressive flank of the Democrat Party is already starting to sour on the actions of their establishment colleagues. They lost the big fight to include a federal $15 minimum wage in their $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill and more than half of President Biden’s cabinet picks are D.C. swamp insiders. This did not sit well with radical Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The tension mounting between Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s wing of the party and the Bernie Sanders-AOC wing is palpable. That’s why the liberal media is hoping to shift focus towards a phony “GOP Civil War.” They desperately need this tall tale to be seen as true; just like Russian collusion.
With a 50-50 Senate split, the reality is that the radicals won’t get much of what they want. So it won’t be long before “The Squad” erupts. Heavily watered down amnesty or gun control bills would certainly do the trick, as would the Senate’s failure to move H.R. 1 – the liberal cancel culture bill.
Not a single House Republican voted for the $1.9 trillion Biden boondoggle and it’s unlikely that a Republican Senator would vote in favor of so much wasteful non-COVID garbage. In fact, two House Democrats even voted against this travesty of a “relief” bill.
NBC’s Chuck Todd of course is out pushing the faulty “Republican division” narrative, stating during CPAC that “the only thing that is unifying this wing of the party is [Donald Trump].” Humorously, this notion was immediately undercut by host Willie Geist’s next point that the $1.9 trillion relief bill passed the House with no Republican support. In other words, it was opposed by a unified Republican caucus.
The media is so intent to push this idea that the Republican Party is torn between pro-Trump and anti-Trump factions that you can almost see the mental gymnastics happening in real time as they are confronted with facts that Republican unity is growing around a common adversary: the dangerous Biden agenda.
And there’s no way the biased mainstream media want the American people to know that.
