Some of the current Progressive stands taken by the Left cost them dearly in the pocketbook. That financial hit is the best way to get the attention of a Liberal. Some of the results of elections at home and worldwide are evidence that voters are anxious to get the radical liberals out of office.
It shows we are heading to a more moderate, even Conservative, place in politics.
First, look at two elections where voters might want a second chance. In Chicago, the Homicide Capital of America, Lori Lightfoot was replaced with, hard to believe, a more radical leftist, Brandon Johnson. In addition to the kill rates climbing, he has made other decisions that will further add to the decline of the Windy City. Chicago had a chance and blew it. They will not next time.

In California, Gavin Newsom survived a recall election. You cannot find one parameter that indicates positive growth for the Golden State except for the salaries of the Los Angeles Dodgers. As bad as the gem of the West Coast has become, Gavin Newsome is considered the next Democrat in line for the White House. Newsome has to be the poster child for the Peter Principal. God have mercy on us if Newsom’s next stop is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
But some recent elections have moved their countries sharply right. Europe is not known to be a bastion of Conservatism, but the conservative Popular Party won the elections in Spain. However, it fell short of its hopes of scoring a much more significant victory and forcing the removal of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Instead, the party led by candidate Alberto Núñez Feijóo performed below the expectations of most campaign polls. A split ticket is a win for Conservatives.
Sweden and Norway have also seen Conservatives win in major political positions. Paraguay and Guatemala have also elected Conservative leaders. These countries have been known for their Liberal leanings for some time. That tide has changed and in a big way. We hope these hot spots become the epicenter for a Conservative wave.
The elections of 2023 showed the winning key for Liberals in our country. If any Abortion related question was on a ballot, Democrats came out in droves. Abortion is the hot-button ticket in politics, and Democrat candidates are riding the emotional power that Abortion conjures.
Sheila Jackson Lee was a force in Congress and left the House to run for Mayor of Houston. She thought the election was a slam dunk, but she was on the losing side of a landslide win by a more moderate candidate, state Sen. John Whitmire. Ms. Lee wasted no time announcing she would run to regain her seat in the House. Lee is a member of the aging Democrat party that has been in power far too long. The young Radicals are proving not to be worthy heirs, and people on both sides have tired of their hatred and disrespect for our country. The Squad may be the poster children for the Conservative rebirth. Representative Cortez was seen polishing her shaker!
