Lots of organizations, groups, politicians, etc, are trying to take credit for knocking out the RINO in this race, but the real credit goes to the millions of grassroots conservatives all across this great land who have loudly declared they are fed up and are not going to take it anymore!!
The grassroots conservative Tea Party Rebellion wins a big one!!
Congratulations to everyone in the movement!!
Keep making those calls, writing those letters, attending those Tea Parties and loudly voicing your desire for constitutionally limited government and FREEDOM!!
We CAN change it back!!
When the people fear the government, we have tyranny. When the government fears the people, we have LIBERTY!!
DONT TREAD ON ME!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Keep your powder dry.
The irony of NY23 is that the GOP ran the insider “pragmatic” RINO choice, in keeping with the apparent philosophy of Mr. “I’ve Run National Campaigns” and othe CINOs up thread. That’s why the donk won (or maybe not - still may be contested). If the GOP would have run the “small tent” “too conservative” Hoffman (who sadly does have the personal charisma of a door knob, sorry, but it’s true) as we are advocating, the GOP would have won. Easily.
The CINO “big tent” types just don’t see that. This same scenario has been played out again and again and again, but they are blind to it. It’s cognitive dissonance of the type so prevalent on the left. That makes sense since GOP CINOs are just weak statists vs donk strong ones, and a statist mindset requires a healthy does of cognitive dissonance (or complete power-mad narcissism with the expectation of absolute power through the state).
