The Republican Party at the federal level is fractured. The contingent of neocon populists who put us in this position will be quick to shirk responsibility and play the blame game should midterms turn out unfavorably. It isn’t enough to shriek “socialism!” or say “yeah, but what about Joe Biden!” when your work product (at the federal level) is woefully insufficient despite having a trifecta. The path forward requires a return to first principles: 🇺🇸 Conservative candidates who prioritize limited government, fiscal restraint, and constitutional fidelity, instead of empty suits who happen to have an "R" beside their name. 🇺🇸 Accountability on spending: putting a stop to reckless budgets, exploding debt, and overseas blank checks while domestic needs are ignored. 🇺🇸 Consistency on core issues: strong Pro-Life stance, no compromise on Second Amendment, protection of individual liberty and privacy rights, and resistance to unconstitutional overreach. 🇺🇸 Citizens who pay attention to voting records and vote out bad actors who acquiesce to special interests, endless wars, and omnibus bills. We must rebuild the party from the state level upward. Unlike the federal level, Republicans in the state legislature have succeeded in accomplishing tangible policy goals that conservatives have been fighting for. We have to win people back by shrinking the size of government, not by perpetuating this lurid spectacle and pretending it bears any resemblance to what our Founders intended.
