The day may be sunny as you read this column, but trust me, there are dark clouds looming on the horizon in every direction in the United States of America. Perhaps you haven’t noticed them yet because you and everyone else around you are distracted by the fact that we’re sliding down all of the slippery slopes that we conservatives were warning people about a decade or more ago.
To say that this next presidential election is an important one would be redefining “understatement.” I’m not one given to existential crisis panics, but it’s safe to say that I am now at least “existential crisis adjacent.” Joe Biden has been in office for only two-and-a-half years, but it feels like the Left has done a century’s worth of damage to the Republic in that time. We don’t want to live in the horror show that would be a second Biden/Harris term.
We’ve all been witnessing what a rogue federal law enforcement agency is willing to do in order to eliminate political opposition. The main focus thus far has been former President Donald Trump, of course. The private citizens who have been victims of Biden’s Stasi DOJ have been singled out solely because they’re Trump supporters. They’ve kept the focus somewhat narrow thus far. People who attended the J6 faux insurrection and pro-life activists have been getting a lot of attention. The FBI has, however, begun to branch out a little. Imagine my surprise when I found out that I might be a domestic terrorist because I’m a Roman Catholic who occasionally attends the Traditional Latin Mass. I don’t even know where to shop for legit terrorist-y stuff.
What we have witnessed so far is the Left focusing on the tip of the iceberg that it wants to destroy. As Trump is fond of saying, “They’re coming after you, and I’m just standing in their way.” At this point, even people who aren’t huge Trump fans are beginning to see that that’s true.
Now that the 2024 presidential election cycle is in full swing, the harassment is bound to get worse. As I wrote in Wednesday’s Morning Briefing, even the most ardent Trump haters aren’t buying the “walls are closing in” shtick anymore. No matter how the Trump persecution prosecution plays out, it doesn’t bode well for any potential supporters of his.
Should it become apparent that they can’t keep him off the ballot, their panic will definitely ramp up the targeting of voters on the Right.
If they do keep Trump off of the ballot, they will be emboldened and feel that they have a green light to wipe out all of the competition.
Fortunately, all is not lost. Much to the chagrin of the American Left, conservative media has grown considerably in the last decade — especially in the last five years. They’ve tried everything that they can to get rid of us, most notably choking off every revenue stream that they have access to. All of the sites here in the Townhall Media Mothership (Townhall, PJ Media, HotAir, RedState, Twitchy, and Bearing Arms) have been able to weather the storm thanks to the continuing support of our VIP Members. They are our partners in this ongoing fight for the fate of the Republic. We will need them more than ever leading up to the next election. We would love to have you join us. You can subscribe here and use the promo code WITCHHUNT (make sure you get both “h”s in there) to receive a whopping 50% discount. That’s less than four bucks a month to become an integral part of helping us continue to get the truth out there.
I would like to add that, although the stakes are high and the fight is serious, we have a lot of fun on the VIP side. Happy warriors, and all that. I promise that you’ll have fun if you join the party.
