For decades, Republican Party elected officials have tried to make nice with their Democratic Party colleagues, the liberal media and deep state bureaucrats. Instead of acting like courageous conservative leaders, they ended up delivering policies that were Democrat-lite.
This capitulation led to the catastrophe the country is now facing under the Biden administration. President Joe Biden entered office after a disputed election, with no voter mandate, but that did not stop him from launching the most left-wing agenda of any administration in American history. His first year in office has been an utter catastrophe, the worst start of any American President.
Despite his disastrous results, in one respect, Republicans need to learn from Biden and his fellow Democrats, who do not compromise with their political adversaries or capitulate. They always push forward with an increasingly bold assault on our freedoms and our constitutional rights, while enhancing the power and authority of the government, raising taxes, issuing mandates, and engaging in more unlawful surveillance of the public.
Republicans tend to compromise and surrender, which usually enrages their loyal base of small donors and grassroots supporters. It is one of the reasons that Donald Trump was elected President of the United States in 2016. Republican voters were eager for an outsider, not a captive of the corrupt political system in Washington, D.C.
In the last year, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has done incredible work advocating a freedom-oriented agenda while battling the media, the Democrats, and the Biden administration. Hopefully, the same type of courage will be displayed by the newly- elected Republican leaders in Virginia. Fortunately, all the recent signs are very encouraging.
Since 2006, Virginia had been moving to the ideological left. Their voters elected Democrats to the United States Senate and awarded their electoral votes to Democratic presidential candidates. With the influx of more government employees into northern Virginia, the state had turned reliably “blue” in recent years.
