The 2022 Red Wave fizzled into nothing because Trump’s GOP leadership did nothing after the 2020 election where mail-in ballots were legally harvested.
We are 7 months from the 2024 election and still Trump’s team has done nothing to offset the millions of votes that will be harvested again.
Except our side will be ballot harvesting as well this go round. When we win you can expect the Dems to cry and caterwaul about the evils of ballot harvesting.
After the 2020 election, the RNC was stuck with Rona McDaniel as chairman. She proved to be an extraordinary failure at the job. The new RNC chairman is supported by Trump and is now cleaning out the deadwood and pushing election integrity and GOTV.
In 2022, Republicans won back the U.S. House of Representatives. It was close, but we won. Better than 2018, when we lost the House, and better than 2020 when we also lost the Senate and the White House.
Winning.
Don’t get tired of it.
This fall, let’s see winning, winning, winning. The White House + the House of Representative + the Senate. Plus Governors. Plus State Legislators. Plus School Boards. Plus whatever.
As for Elon Musk having turned from a Democrat into a Republican. That’s what Donald Trump did. Welcome on board, Elon.
People generally are born liberal (U.S. meaning) and mature into conservatives. Winston Churchill once said if at twenty you’re not a liberal, you don’t have a heart. If at forty you’re not a conservative, you don’t have a brain.
Another old saying, I don’t know who coined it, is that a conservative is a liberal mugged by reality.
Yet another is that my cat had kittens and the kittens were all liberals. Then, after 10 days or so, the kittens opened their eyes and became conservatives.
Obviously Trump was out of GOP leadership after 2020.
