insurgens ad opus (@insurgentem)

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/07/the_gop_death_wish.html Trump’s initiatives were mostly met with resistance, led by House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell. Trump’s promised border wall was not funded by Congress, the GOP choosing to sell out American sovereignty to appease the big business donor class, telling their voters to pound sand. Obamacare was not repealed, with a maverick GOP senator siding with Democrats and Big Pharma over Republican voters who wanted it repealed. The 2020 election was rigged, much like past elections, with the federal government acting as candidate Biden’s campaign arm, colluding with big tech and social media to promote anti-Trump propaganda and suppress anything potentially detrimental to the Biden campaign. One in six Biden voters would have changed their 2020 vote if they had known the full Hunter laptop story. But 51 former intel officials, lied through their teeth, burying the story, and interfering in the election. Talk about sedition. The corporate media barked and clapped along like trained seals, abandoning any pretense of journalism in favor of serving as state-run propaganda outlets. When rigging alone didn’t work, Democrats stole the election by shutting down election night vote counting, without precedent or scrutiny, only to “find” enough ballots overnight to flip a few counties in a few swing states, enough to turn the election from Trump to Biden. Where were Republicans? Such vote shenanigans likely cost Republicans the Senate and almost the House. Yet any discussion of dodgy elections is labeled as hate speech or insurrection, with elected Republicans staying silent. A majority of likely U.S. voters believe our elections are fraudulent, according to Rasmussen Reports, including most Republicans and a quarter of Democrats. What have Republicans done to correct either this real problem or the perception of one? Nothing. ... How’s that for the GOP reflecting the will of the voters? Even so-called conservative pundits like Laura Ingraham want us all to “stop talking about 2020.” Why? So it can all happen again in 2024? No wonder Fox News ratings are in the toilet. ... Classified documents held by a former president with declassification authority, under Secret Service protection, is far different than two former vice presidents of both parties, without declassification authority, holding such documents under no security, and receiving a pass. Where are Republicans? A few are making noise, but most are silent or complicit. Colorado Republican Rep. Ken Buck, supposedly a tea-party conservative defends the political hatchet man FBI director Christopher Wray as “just doing his very best.” How would Rep. Buck feel if he was indicted by his political opponents for nonsensical crimes? Remember how Special Counsel Ken Starr was vilified constantly by Democrats while he investigated then President Bill Clinton? That type of pushback is alien to Republicans. Instead, they heap praise on their political opponents. Meanwhile the Biden family has been credibly accused by government whistleblowers of accepting foreign bribes in exchange for favorable treatment, treasonous and impeachable offenses, and other than some noisy Congressional hearings, Republicans are doing nothing. Impeachment and defunding are two powers granted to the Republican majority House yet they only huff and puff. Where is the spirited opposition and defense of the Constitution, equal protection under the law, and common decency? Rep. Jim Jordan just can’t seem to commit to impeachment of Biden or Garland. Instead, he will roll up his shirtsleeves and have more hearings. Do not Republicans, including the numerous GOP presidential candidates, realize that they are next, depending on how much they advance toward the White House and how serious they are about challenging the deep state, versus going along to get along, managing the decline, sharing in the ruling class perks and power if they follow the playbook? We had two Bushes who played this role brilliantly, as would the non-Trump-like John McCain and Mitt Romney if they were elected. The American economy is in freefall. Our borders are wide open to taxpayer-funded freeloaders and criminals, cities are ridden with crime, filth, drugs, and homelessness. America is needlessly pushing a hot war with the largest nuclear power in the world. Our children are being trafficked or indoctrinated with woke sexual and gender deviancy. Republicans are either silent or playing along. There is little difference between the DNC and GOP on so many core issues, making the GOP increasingly irrelevant as a political party. Instead, we are ruled by a uniparty, unified in its goal of self-enrichment and power, with little regard to the well-being of America or the wishes of American voters.
