A Contract to Defeat Big Government Socialism
It is policy — not personality — that is crippling America.

The goal of every American should be to defeat Big Government Socialism. Republicans specifically must develop a contract for 2024 built around restoring the America that works by defeating and replacing Big Government Socialism.
It is not enough to just defeat individual personalities. President Joe Biden might lose or retire because he is at times incoherent and cognitively challenged. Vice President Kamala Harris might lose because of her laugh and her failures at the border (and at every other assignment she has been given).
But failed Democrat personalities will simply lead to new Democrat personalities’ being lifted by party kingmakers. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, or some other favored Democrat will run, arguing that predecessors’ failures were due to personality and not to philosophy.
And modest reforms that simply slow the growth of Big Government Socialism are not enough. We must defeat the bureaucracies, interest groups, institutions, and ideas that are the pillars of the Big Government Socialist machine. Shallow reforms simply won’t have serious impact and are ultimately doomed to fail. We have occasionally slowed the growth of the Deep State by increasingly centralizing power with novel efforts — but we have never reversed it.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher led a remarkable campaign to destroy socialism as a legitimate governing alternative in the United Kingdom.
