Just as I pointed out the Republicans in this country are in clear and present danger of following the Tories in England into watered-down political perdition, France provides the cautionary omen of what will happen if any semblance of a real Right actually emerges here and threatens to systemically gain power.
The Republican coalition is unsustainable. The center cannot hold. Too many people/factions who don’t agree with one another on fundamental things attempting to be on the same team. This is why the party can’t govern nationally when given power to do so.
For example, from the moment the most successful Republican of my lifetime (DeSantis) started running for POTUS he was getting enormous pressure to moderate from the donor class — especially on baby-murder. Trump is likewise moderating now, especially on baby-murder, partly for the same reasons (he needs their donor-class money bad after all the lawfare he’s faced), and partly because it’s closer to who this New Yorker truly is. Which also explains why you’re currently seeing likely VP options Rubio and Vance throw the babies under the bus.
Well, what you saw in France yesterday is what should happen should the uniparty truly fear we (a real Right) would gain control. They will just conspire with the Marxists/Spirit of the Age to give up the ghost and uniparty out in the open. They’re not Marxists themselves, but they’d much rather lose to the Marxists than lose control of the system to us.
This is what Never Trump ended up being about in 2016. I just didn’t see it until I interviewed Evan McMullin. After that show I stopped promoting the Never Trump idea and just let the process take its natural course. See, I joined that group and “free the delegates” back then believing I was trying to save the GOP from an untrustworthy guy with “New York values.” Turns out, this was mainly the uniparty’s attempt to pull a France for fear Trump (and more so his base) represented true disruption (which he never truly has sadly).
It wasn’t just they opposed Trump out of legit concerns, they actually preferred Hillary. Most of that wasn’t about principle, it was about the fear of lost power. Which is why Macron did what he did in France. If a real Right emerged, his ilk are out forever. Marxists, on the other hand, are gonna be so bad within one cycle the French locals will be clamoring for the fake Right to return to capably manage the decline. This stuff is right out of Machiavelli.
France and the UK are signs of the times “there are no political solutions” as The Police sang. We are boxed in, as tends to happens when a generation fails its calling to pass on what it inherited from previous ones. The West is in this hole because it has become largely godless, so only by returning to God will it dig out.
Revival or bust.
