I have always said at least Democrats are forthright about their radical beliefs. It's the RINO's that are the real snake in the grass...Cringeshaw being a prime example. Watching them being exposed is a glorious sight for sore eyes. And can we just create our own party called the 'Constitutional Party'? Pretty much sums it up, don't you think ;) Thank you BB for another great read!
Thank you again for another great essay. This is a sticking point for many conservatives still - often still grasping the belief that Republicans are "better" than Democrats, that somehow Jesus loves Republicans more or something. The Powers That Would Be have been very, very skilled at exploiting our human tendency towards clannish tribalism, "Team Red/Team Blue", etc. They have ingrained us all, and perhaps even especially Republicans, who generally identify as a block of "real Americans" more than Dems do. (Yes, Dems are insane, too.) I still see a LOT of angry vitriol and damning judgment from people, of others who believe differently from themselves - and fully half of that is coming from "the right" - even MAGA people. The behavior I witnessed after Roe v Wade was overturned was nauseating. MAGA people screaming at ordinary women, calling them whores and demons because those women believed different lies than they believed. It was an ugly reminder of just how many of us need to look in the mirror. People are very, very quick to forget that last letter in WWG1WGA.
I remember a friend of mine during the run up to 2016 was having a cow about Bernie Sanders overtaking the Dem ticket. Exasperated, she said at one point 'he's not even a Democrat!'. I replied 'that's because the Democrat is running on the Republican ticket this year.' I said it tongue in cheek - more so, because when Trump was younger, he was a registered D, but your point about him wearing Republican as a skin suit I think emphasizes this in a way I did not realize when I first made that statement. This is not about R vs. D, no matter how hard they try to make it sound like it is. It hasn't been for a long time...
I don’t believe we should create or become a political party. We have learned have we not? Two sides mean nothing when either side may sell their soul to the devil. Why don’t we call ourselves Americans? Why don’t we promote constitutional and moral values? We don’t need to belong, we don’t need opposition to show our strength or describe our ticket. We have the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Bible. We need to focus less on worldly power and focus more on properly utilizing the earth and all it provides, take care of each other and praise God. This is all we need. We have everything we need, and we have each other.
Wait, you mean, Patel Patriot is not Kash Patel? Oh no, we have been hornswaggled. Taken for a ride. Please get to the bottom of this conspiracy and write a Substack about it. Thanks! ( lol )
With their utter disregard for their constituients, these arrogant lifer politicians on both sides of the aisle have exposed to us the evil that they are; much to their detriment and downfall.
Kyle at Just Human has a good take on this; essentially, Trump may be using a divide and conquer approach. When there are no America First candidates, he’s using GOP candidates who have both the funding and name recognition to win AND whom he can control.
Thank you for another article. I tried to use the link "read the whole thread", but got a page that said "not found, the resource could not be found". By the way, I also voted for Obama the first time, being from Illinois, and not aware of his background. In 2016 I could see why Trump ran as a Republican. He had to use the "two-party system" to get a foothold for reform.
Well, that is why then. I cannot get on Truth Social because I do not have a "smart phone", and cannot receive texts. To activate an account they want to text a code number, and I can't get it. I asked their support months ago to send the code number to my email, like many other sites do, but I have never heard back. I try to keep from getting discouraged. At this point I only have Twitter, and I do share your substack there. Thanks.

I agree
Thank you for reading :)
Republicans vs Democrats equals division. They have been committing crimes for so long which explains why they have been dividing us for so long.
100%

Completely agree.
I often say that many Republicans were on the "right" side in 2016 purely by accident.
If Trump had run as a Dem, most would have voted against him.
I remember a friend of mine during the run up to 2016 was having a cow about Bernie Sanders overtaking the Dem ticket. Exasperated, she said at one point 'he's not even a Democrat!'.

100%.
Trump was never a D, nor is he an R.
Notice he barely ever references himself as a Republican. He references himself as America First, which isn't a party ... it's a movement.
Interesting thought! I think you are right.
Thank You again BB🙏
JC, I am moved by your generosity. Thank you very very much my friend.
Your very welcome Brother, God bless You and Your's 🙏
Great article! There are 2 levels going on when I read your substacks. One is content and perspective which I resonate with and very much appreciate.
The other is your literary writing skills which I admire.
I look forward to your posts on both accounts. Thank You
Very much appreciate this. Someday I'd like to share some of the writing I've done that isn't political in nature. Should be fun.
That is intriguing…care to give a hint? Are we talking spiritual, higher consciousness…I only ask because I often see such context in your writing
For life reasons, I keep as much personal information about myself private.
Hope you understand and I hope that changes in the future.
Total respect. Indeed, I do understand…
Grateful for all you do share!

This is a fight for Americans to take back our government. It’s about the lies of our government and and both parties are complicit.
Kari won- baked the winning combo, show up on Election Day in overwhelming numbers....
[no-name II] lost
Palin lost
lots of narratives
same machines, software, mules, modems are still in play

And thank you Burning Bright. I look forward to taking in everything you share!
What another Fantastic article and absolutely on Point! Thank you!
Thanks Mark!

Could you possibly give your take on Trump's Dr Oz pick in PA. It is an odd pick.
Kyle at Just Human has a good take on this; essentially, Trump may be using a divide and conquer approach. When there are no America First candidates, he’s using GOP candidates who have both the funding and name recognition to win AND whom he can control.
I believe both are in effect with Oz.
thank you for responding - I hope that is the case.
Love my readers and will always make an attempt to respond :)

It seems to be working for me, but you need an active and logged in Truth Social account to view it.
