Trump Republicans Ready to Rebuild

Posted: Mar 07, 2021 12:01 AMFollowing an election defeat, the losing side often performs a political autopsy to determine what went wrong and allow future candidates an opportunity to correct course moving forward. The process usually leads to a combination of finger-pointing and apologies. For Republicans, though, this year is different. The Party is in disarray. It is in no position to review or make judgments about problems nor suggest paths forward as its issues and divisions are internal.
The lack of unity within the Republican Party is a direct result of officials who are so scared and desperate to cling to power, they refuse to fight for conservative principles. Worse, the ability for conservatives to get a message out is further restricted by the filters of traditional media and censorship of social media companies.
The unwillingness or inability for the Republican leadership to stand up and fight back against cancel culture and limiting political speech will continue to damage conservative candidates’ chances of success at the ballot box.
With a few notable exceptions, Republicans stood idly by as the tech giants choose censorship, blatant partisanship, and activism to silence voices with which its leaders and the Washington establishment (including many supposed Republicans) disagreed. Despite censoring content, suspending accounts, and even banning the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, these media and technology companies are getting a free pass from the very leadership conservatives hoped would fight for them.
