Is the Republican Party Worth Salvation?
Renee Parsons
After months of observing House majority Republicans struggling to find their groove, one clear reflection is that its public rupture has all the markings of a permanent ideological crisis within its ranks – a crisis of political differences not conducive to an easily repaired partisan split.
An objective review of its 2024 legislative history reveals that the Republican party as we know it today is not likely salvageable – and that may be a good thing.
Even prior to the 18th Session, it was no secret that the donor-controlled Uniparty had been captured and gobbled up by corporatists and “defense’ industry donors who seek no patriotic reward except extraordinary profits for producing their invaluable instruments of war.
More than any other issue, with the $34 Trillion debt a close second, the Ukraine war raises the belated question of whether the Republican party is worth restoration as currently constituted. The war and its extravagant Pentagon budget is where a once-isolationist Republican party continues to provide no moral leadership or concern about the consequences of the grinding, crushing loss of humanity that they themselves voted for.
For any American who has been living under a rock, the Congressional agenda to create more war is a direct payback to its military industrial customers.
Whether there is enough redemption for the Republican party in 2024 remains to be seen: Replacing a generation of shallow, feeble minded elites in favor of soliciting a new cohort of candidates with conservative American values and tradition may be too high a burden although the American Revolution taught us that it takes a handful of fearless true believers to save the country.
As the American spirit has opened with a new willingness to speak up, it takes little political insight for engaged citizens to recognize that elements of the Federal government are at war with its own citizens. How does any country survive a dysfunctional political system, broken down with political parties trapped within a corruption of their own creation?
Will America First rebels resist the temptation to officially designate a political realignment: to technically stay within the framework of the existing GOP establishment or to create its own separate partisan identity simultaneously, as it challenges the existing partisan structure in pursuit of its own legislative agenda.
Prior to the advent of the Trump 2016 election, Republicans were already tainted with being one-side-of-the-same-coin, identified as clones of a deep state corporate military alliance. It took the America First crowd aligned with Trump to courageously stand up for those issues rooted in liberty and freedom, consistent with the country’s founding and deeply ingrained within the American character.
At the same time, the House unequivocally speaks as one voice in support of the Zionist – Israeli agenda which begs the question: How can any America First patriot sell their soul to the Zionists or any other foreign entity?
A noticeable split, however, has been detected within the country’s rank and file voters as American citizens who will not forget who sided with war criminals. It is those Americans who pay the full cost of the Zionist agenda; its annual foreign aid, its share of the national debt or send their sons/daughters to the battle field.
Currently, that split is focused on opposition to the International Criminal Court legal determination of war crimes in the deaths of 35,000 Palestinians. The Republican Congressional caucus, a majority of which receives significant funding from AIPAC, has threatened ‘severe sanctions’ on the Court for conducting its own rigorous investigation and its issuance of international arrest warrants for the despicable Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Over recent months, it has become apparent that any long term rapprochement is inimical to any agreement on important policy or cultural matters which require genuine inquiry or intense deliberation like the Ukraine war and ‘reform’ of FISA Section 702.
During the 18th Session, the Republican caucus appeared reluctant to recognize the critical nature of a $34 trillion debt as more than just a transitory blip on the country’s balance sheet, an imminent obstacle to the country’s entire financial structure.
With few exceptions, mostly within the America First movement, the Republican Congress, especially in the House, has consistently exhibited the absence of a backbone, a key ingredient for any political agent expected to fully engage as a Constitutionally-functioning Member of Congress. The Democrats are no further advanced as they also have abandoned their own version of a Constitutional Republic devoted to its historic principles as they more closely align today with the Russian Bolsheviks of 1917.
While Trump was a transformative candidate in 2016, an outsider barging into the Republican party, he is no longer that same interloper. The question is whether Trump is willing to endorse or participate in a political shift even as the left-over Republican establishment refuses to concede its remaining evidence of power. The current rumor is that Biden is OUT for the Dems for all the obvious reasons they should have identified four years ago. More disturbing is that the Deep State may be shifting its alliance in supporting Trump in exchange for a series of policy changes – a very scary potential to contemplate.
Trump’s pursuit of the Libertarian endorsement, perhaps necessary to get past RFK, Jr, aroused inconsistent reactions from the audience as he promised to be a First Libertarian President. Despite Trump’s pledge to support historic Libertarian policies, most of which the audience was aware, would be in direct contradiction to whatever the Zionists are anticipating. Trump was ultimately denied the Libertarian designation.
