On the COVID issue, any President would feel prey to it. The real danger to this Republic is the Federal Government and its Agencies. It also keep on growing... and grow some more. Does the IRS rings a bell?

This is actually the first Roots of Liberty in a long time where I feel very, very astray from your ideas.

Why on earth would anyone take the left's conceptual framing of 2020 (Trump lost the Senate, Trump's antics are driving the base, Trump cultists, etc.) and actually run with it? Did "Trump-backed candidates" win, or did the left-backed candidates win? And by what mechanism did they win, by appealing to the zombie-brain-MAGA-cult, or by good old fashioned politicking and money-raising and blatant cheating (Fulton County, GA, etc.) That's not "Electoral Lie" stuff, it's simply acknowledging how the left goes about elections: it tells people Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump, before, during, and after the fact.

I'm really starting to feel crazy seeing this get repeated so much. Why on earth are so many on the right going along with the left's endless Trump-cultism-narrative?

How on earth did Trump lose Georgia instead of the Democrats WINNING Georgia? We need to look at what the left does - and particularly what it does in the name of Trump/ Trumpism - and stop looking at things through the lenses they give us.

I don't consider you someone easily swayed by the sorcerers of narrative in lefty or righty media and hope this doesn't come across that way. I'm just starting to get that Poseidon Adventure feeling whenever people keep framing every discussion like this. No other person in American history gets "blank-backed" candidate the way Trump does, and it's authored by the same folks who brought you every Big Lie over the past 5-10 years. Why are we doing this?

Peter, do you think if Trump wins the nomination Cheney may run as 3rd candidate out of spite? She has stated she will do anything within her power to prevent him from becoming president again. This thought occurred to me recently, hell hath no fury...
