The Republican Party is on a mission, as in every election cycle, to equate civility with unity. Let’s not say negative things about those other GOP candidates lest we spark a civil war and create division. They want us to talk about our shared vision as if we had one.
Is it paying lip service to the idea that Republicans will defend natural rights? To set forth a platform of ideas so that candidates we elect can make excuses for ignoring or undermining them? Or is it a national party committed to winning and then doing nothing with victory? I know what it is = bashing Donald Trump.
That’s something under which Republicans could unite. And I’m fine with that, but it should apply all the way around with a few thin and flimsy guardrails (no defamation, fraud, or incitement), and let’s see who crosses the finish line.
It’s messy, but everyone is invited to play along—even the John McCains at the party. You remember him. In 2016, helped add credibility to the Steele Dossier, which turned out to be defamation, fraud, and incitement. Entire movements on the Republican side rose up to resist the guy based on Democrat party lies.
That wasn’t the first time or the last. So, bring your tired, poor, huddled opinions, yearning to breathe free. The wretched tweets from your social media shore. Bring your own torch (light) while you’re at it, and shine it brightly on everything and everyone.
Being right or wrong is not nearly as important as the exercise of plumbing the truth, and civility may not make it to the end of the road, but that’s okay because we need to stop training our side to be passive. It’s not working. Democrats are not civil, not to each other or anyone else. Their fanatic street mobs are mentally unstable radicals whose only moral compass is a party that kills babies, cheats women, and mutilates children. And they hate free speech.
Passivity doesn’t advance liberty, and neither do the Republicans who can’t stop talking about keeping your powder dry in primaries. And if you are not sure what that looks like, watch how the establishment treats Trump and then do unto others.
No violence or intimidation; those are left Wing tactics—free Speech on full power, especially when they tell you in their own quaint little way to shut the hell up.
