 [American Thinker] With the Russia hoax revelations pouring out from Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel—and with more to come as more documents are found and declassified and whistleblowers step forward—conservatives are feeling validated. We had enough available information to know that the whole thing was a lie, but we’re now getting the data that makes it possible to believe the villains behind it will be brought to justice.
However, even as what amounts to criminal fraud and, possibly, sedition, are revealed, I’m incredibly grateful to Hillary and Obama for the Russia hoax, as I am to the Democrats for their absolutely vicious and unrelenting attacks to destroy Trump. That’s because what they did in the last decade was a necessary predicate to Trump’s actions today, cleaning out the rot of fifty, or even ninety, years of leftist governance.
When Trump first appeared on the scene in 2015, his commitment to conservatism was dubious, at best. Over the years, he’d been a Republican, a Reform Party member, a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent, and then a Republican again. He was a wealthy individual who led a party, Hollywood-style lifestyle seemingly inconsistent with conservative values.
Trump’s Make America Great Again platform, which ChatGPT sums up neatly, was actually standard 1980s fare. He wasn’t that interested in cultural issues such as abortion, transgenderism, homosexuality, gay marriage, DEI, critical race theory, etc. He didn’t care about the Middle East much, either; he just wanted no more wars. It was all pragmatic, 1980s functionality.
Trump tied the whole 1980s package up with a nice ribbon: Make America Great Again. I suspect it was that slogan, as much as anything else, that made the left insane.
