less than a year ago we proved in Virginia

grassroots conservatives don’t need Trump at all

we exceeded his performance by 12.5% y/y, did election integrity effectively where he failed to execute, won a key culture war fight (CRT) he couldn’t

our Trump-free excellence was so extreme, I still hear of cases of the hundreds of school board seats nationwide that we flipped to anti-woke conservatives

total lifetime Trump contributions to all candidates in that race amount to a $25,000 check to Terry McAuliffe

not only is he not all that, in the real world he’s a dubious and unreliable ally at best

MAGA took a back seat to Fauci on a dime... as worthy a cause as MAGA is, Trump just doesn’t have what it takes to get the job done

guy is drenched in money but a bunch of grassroots conservatives organizing locally ad hoc the best they could blasted his performance out of the water

Rtump falls and the resistance to woke communism evaporates. The so called conservative movement has virtually vanished as it demonstrated its complete worthlessness by hiding from the woke and denouncing Trump. There is simply no force behind any national anti-woke movement. Monument Avenue was desecrated, did I see thousands of angry Virginians take the streets about that?

Are you serious? The names you mention are either pygmies or like Beck, people who sound like crackpots and cannot be trusted. Limbaugh was unique because he changed from the usual so called conservative talk show chamber of commerce baloney to becoming truly enraged at the woke communists and offering real intellectual commentary (this is generally taboo to the sports broadcast banality of most conservatives). The left was really afraid of Limbaugh and his connection to a huge audience. Limbaugh may not have been as smart as he thought he was but he was unique and powerful. What is out there now are a lot of empty suits.
