Since the stolen election we have seen supporters in government start to turn away from President Trump. The media will tell you that they realize what a horrible person he is and don’t want to be associated with him. If you go back to 2016 they were all hopped up licking their chops to get back at the Obama administration.
It has nothing to do with who President Trump is as a person, the swamp wants to stay in the swamp. They want to keep their spot, they are perfectly happy to sit back and blame the other side for what is going on. Hell they still get paid and don’t have to lift a finger for 30 hours a week. This is what Washington D.C. is all about status quo! Nothing to see here while we rob the taxpayers blind and cater to the special interests.
So on January 6th those of us that voted for President Trump would have expected his supporters in government to stand up and be heard, even with the protest going on outside the capital. I personally sent everyone who represents me here in Ohio a short message on the 6th. “Don’t hide behind the Constitution, stand in front and protect it.” How convenient that the break in happened just after Arizona contested it’s electoral votes. Congress showed the cowards they are, Democrats were easy to jump on board with s**t burning down elsewhere during the summer. Republicans were calling Democrats calling for protests as violent rhetoric. It got very real for them on January 6th, the fight came right to their front door and they all caved. Instead of hearing all of the states election objections they just went right to the vote at 4 am in the morning, certifying the election.
January 7th most of the 75 million Trump supporters shunned the Republican party for not having a backbone and standing up one, for the Constitution and President Trump. Lindsey Graham was harassed in an airport. Mitt Romney was also harassed in an airport. Here at home Senator Portman and Representative Wenstrup both put on facebook their condemnation of the capital breach. I was reading the comments and both were unceremoniously ripped to shreds by the public at large. Calls for resignation and you will not be re-elected were echoed throughout the comments.
Here is my take. Last year I wrote an article on Presidential Candidates on July 14,2020. In it I talk about the federal election committee. I agree the Republican party is dead to me and we need a new voice, however, starting a new party is not the answer. Democrats and Republicans over the years have made it so hard for a new party to get it’s footing and take hold, that is why there are only two. Why do you think Libertarians don’t have a bigger stake in Presidential elections? At this point we need the “name” Republican to keep our voice heard. We also need the federal election committee money to further that cause. Don’t forget that the Obama administration weaponized the IRS to harass the the burgeoning Tea Party to death until it no longer existed! We just need to vet our candidates ahead of time, they need to walk the walk and talk the talk!
