Forgive the length, but I have a valid point to make.
This is a condensed version of how we got here and why we're winning.

gop'E = GOP Establishment, of course the Establishment swallowed the gop, which is why it's small.

I might point out, that everyone talks about the President historically doesn't get a Congress to match his party, this has been true much of the time.
People get pissed, and demand change, Carter brought Reagan, people were happy, they elected his Vice, Bush, he brought Clinton, Clinton brought, his son, Bush, who essentially screwed the economy, so this brought Hussein, a Marxist, which was the final pitch of leftist momentum on the pendulum, it hit its peak because of him and their stranglehold in Congress.
However, what most never noticed is, the pendulum has been swinging to the left for decades and the left pushed a full blown Marxist on the Nation, this move was essentially 30 years of compressed movement and the country recognized what they were doing and didn't want anymore of their shit.
Had the left remained patient, we'd have been socialized in 30 to 40 years, they fucked up.

This brought us Trump, a man who couldn't have gotten elected a decade earlier, simply because the country needed to feel the pain only leftists could inflict.
The gop'E has slowly been giving away the country via crony corporatism, this has been their makeup since their inception, protecting business interests, the constituency was secondary.
But something changed over the last few decades, corporate entities were no longer rooted in American interests (thanks NAFTA), the left found they could shape culture by taking over the boards of these faceless entities, be it news, Hollyweird, or Procter & Gamble etc, they would tell the workforce that gays would get all the benefits that everyone else got.
Well big Duh, as if anyone cared, but they were sending a message to the world, as we see Hollyweird doing in all the shit they produce, where every show has a few token homos, as if that's anywhere near reality, but it creates an illusion.
If one were to believe TV, 80% of the nation is homo, victims of white oppression and only govt can save them.
Granted, these are only two examples of cultural purging, but you get the idea.

This brings me to my point, that what the country is, and how the left wants it to be, are completely opposite of reality. The GOP sold us out for decades for their own interests, the harder the left pushed, the more they ceded territory, all the while infiltrating the very corporate interests they had worked to cultivate, right under their noses.
So what does the GOP do? They move left in hopes of retaining some semblance of power while throwing platitudes to their base, like supporting a border fence, and pretending to fund it.
That's Right, they lied, and lied some more, and in 2010, they finally pissed on the base one too many times and TEA was formed, and every election since has seen GOP leftists disappear as well as Dim leftists, to the point the Dim party is but a picture/image representation of what it once was.

What we're witnessing is nothing short of a historical miracle, the perfect storm of politics, a silent yet noisy coup to retake the country. The left literally collapsed and never saw it coming, the Right kept up a steady resolve of TEA and has only continued to strengthen its resolve with every election, literally like the Richter Scale, with each consecutive election, we double, triple, quadruple etc, our resolve and there's no end in sight.
The only reason the Dim party still exists is two fold, their media, and the GOP needs an enemy to scare the base into supporting "Their" candidates, but this too has been failing since 2010 and it has the Establishment scared shitless.

But to be fair to the GOP, they did have Americas best interests at heart, but they are no longer a group of Patriots, they have been taken over by leftists, just as the 1963 Communist papers warned us: "Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States."
They succeeded, nearly to the detriment of our very existence as a Republic.

In closing, the left is dead, vote your conscience, vote for the Conservative, the GOP no longer has the death grip it once had around the throats of the American electorate, we decide who enters the party, not the Establishment.

I, of course, an waiting to see what happens.  I do agree that the left has pushed too hard and too fast and I am hoping that the next generation is finally seeing this.

The next gen is always a crap shoot, and the Dims thought they had Gen X locked up, instead, they found out they wound up supporting Trump.
I believe the Dim party has run its course and is now in its death throes which explains why they've resorted to violence as their only recourse, because their message of hate, no longer resonates with any generation.
But instead of worrying about the distant future, we need to continue focusing on the next few elections and keep winning and assuring the next generations see that Conservatism works.

We have an entire generation out there that only knew life under a Marxist POTUS, they were told that the life they know, one of high unemployment,etc, would be the new normal, that those who came before them were to blame for the "New Normal", and Trump proved that to be a huge Marxist lie, where the left had huge hopes of people giving up and surrendering to leftism.
They didn't, they rejected the left. They either #Walkeaway, or supported Trump, but they no longer trust the left.

Which brings me to another point. For decades voter turnout has been decreasing, not so much on the left, but regular Americans fed up with the status quo of supporting candidates that had no intention of following the Constitution.
I guarantee you, that's all changed under Trump, those people who've been sitting out elections like what they see, a man beholding to no one, a man that is telling it like it is, a man that's telling the media to F off, they see a man that sees America the way they do and will not be sitting out another election, especially since they know he hates the Establishment as much as they do.
So not only the people that didn't support Trump in 2016, are now coming out but also those who gave up on the system over the years.

There was a lot of us that didn't vote Trump, rather we supported the only Conservative running, but that was only because Trump was once a registered Dim, so we didn't trust him, but we certainly do now, so expect to see a much bigger turnout in this election for the Right than that of 2014 and 2016, and all previous elections, the disenfranchised voter has returned.

Had anyone thought about that?

America woke up and realized that they kind of enjoy seeing the guy with the biggest podium in America tell the media to FOAD, never give in, and not care about their continued crying and lying about it.

They / We also seem to enjoy seeing him do the same to the dem party, and the various social abortions that run around doing violence and crimes for them.

There must have been some kind of short circuit in the school-propaganda program, with the millenials.  They thought the deliverers were assholes, instead of oracles.

Sometimes people just enjoy watching assholes get their comeuppance.  Looks like that was greatly enjoyed in 2016, and ever since.

Good point. As hard as the left tried, they didn't capture that generation either, not that they became Conservatives, but the majority definitely didn't vote Dim, if anything, they were turned against the left. They heard Obozo tell them," those jobs are not coming back, they're gone forever", then Trump does what they thought was impossible, they're coming back.
I can't wait to see just how many turnout to support Trump, it will be a telling moment for the Dims as they watch their base further dwindle to nothing, and all because they now know they were lied to..

I truly hope that the ship has turned and is not headed to conservative views. I am not so sure because the lure of getting free stuff is very enticing to those who do not realize that there is no such thing as free. Everything has a price and a consequence.  If it has indeed turned we need to being the removal of those who are more interested in BAU which means do what is best for keeping me in power and not what is in the best interest of the country and in keeping with the constitution.  I listened to someone running in CA as a republican talk about ideas that were in keeping with the constitution.  He wants the feds out of things that the constitution says should be determined by the states.  Even wacky states like California.  Tea Party values with good solid candidates. 

Lastly I think term limits have to be put in place.  Politicians need to be there to serve the public and then move on.

That has been our biggest problem, electing people who do more than pay lip service, only to turn around and support leftist ideals.
I do believe the left infiltrated the GOP, I also believe we are purging the party and have made great strides since 2010.

The only losers are the left. We, the Right, have been kicking serious ass since 2010, and that includes purging RINO from the gop'E.
But the last two years not only outpaced the prior years, the pace has more than quadrupled and this Nov will prove it.

Sure, in ass-backwards-ville.  Is this where you live ?

Trump retired the Clintons and Obamas and their 100 favorite sycophants, from politics.

He swapped Gorsuch for Garland, and Kavanaugh for Kennedy.  He will soon enough swap Barrett for Ginsburgh.

He's installed about 100 high level conservative judges.

He's put a big old boot straight up the ass of illegal immigration, and moronic leftist concepts like "everybody in the world has USA constitutional rights".

In.  Two.  Years.

Are you hopelessly retarded ?

Winning more elections is one thing, but unlike the Democrats the Republicans don't seem to want to rock the boat too much when they have power. I give Trump credit for trying, and doing what he can, but 'winning' in my opinion would be when BOTH the people and the States begin to take the reins and control their Representatives in the House and Senate respectively.
And while it may be painful, we both government(s) and people, need to begin living within our means once again.

Republicans rocked the boat by voting for Trump and they continue to rock the boat by supporting his agenda.

You will find most Conservative do live that way.  It's a way of life for us.

So when the Democrats take two or three steps to the Left, when the Republicans are in power we take a step to the right.
Supporting OUR (conservatives) agenda is what we should be doing, and where Trumps agenda is the same we should be demanding our elected reps do exactly the same.
