It’s (not) Abortion vs America First
With less than three weeks before the 2022 Midterm Elections, the Radical Left is on the ropes after all of their false narratives against MAGA implode - Opinion

The 2022 Midterm Elections were never going to be about the landmark Supreme Court decision (6-3) to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a different election cycle, maybe, if the entire world was simultaneously burning due to the decisions enacted by current Regime occupying the Oval Office whose party controls all three branches of government. With inflation high, the stock market low, crime rampant the border busted wide open and pronouns and drag queens overtaking reading, writing and math for your children’s curriculum, there are many reasons why we expect voter turnout for the upcoming November 8th election to be one for the ages.
But it was never going to be about abortion rights.
You see, when the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe, it didn’t abolish “constitutionally protected rights” to have an abortion, because that never really was a thing. It simply reversed the decision to have this case weighed at the federal level and sent the issue back to the states where all fifty of them can vote for or against abortions, the instances where and when a woman can have one, and what the deadline is to schedule the procedure before a mother must keep her unborn child.
If those who support abortion reside in a state where it votes to restrict or abolish the procedure (unless in the case of rape, incest and or threat to the mother’s survival) then at this point, you can relocate to roughly half of the other states in the country (like California) and have abortions done on-demand and maybe even have the elected officials there pay for it.
Those are just the facts.
And regardless of how often and to what extent fake news CNN, MSNBC, CBS, the NYT, WAPO and other progressive outlets display graphics show that abortion, the sham January 6th Unselect Committee and gun control are the top three ticket items in this year’s midterm elections, it seems that the overwhelming majority of Americans not only know better, but are looking to hold Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and friends accountable at the ballot box in a way that may make the 1994 Gingrich-led win look minuscule and maybe in some historical context (because he was a helluva Speaker of the House), insignificant. The progressive outlet pundits can no longer deny it with less than three weeks to go before Election Day - the pollsters, are frantically trying to tie tightening poll numbers in all races across the country to Putin’s War, the Saudi’s or Donald Trump.
I was skeptical before I was hopeful, and now am almost certain that on this November 8th, we will have a Red Tsunami. When you see democrat strategists taking about margin of error and competitive races in states like: New Hampshire, Connecticut, Oregon, Washing State and even New York of all places then you know that Republicans have the opportunity to secure so many wins that we may just be able to right the ship just yet.
The most ironic components to this midterm election cycle are how the democrats have essentially placed the entirety of their political party on life support simply because an overwhelming majority of the federal government (and elected officials) hated Donald Trump and worked immediately to reverse everything that he accomplished once he left office. It’s the narrative that democrats spoon fed the American public throughout the 2020 election season, and via executive orders and at the request of his handlers, what Joe Biden began to do on day one of his administration. From surrendering Afghanistan, to abandoning energy independence and to inviting transgender degenerated into the West Wing and into your children’s school - the battle to erase the Trump legacy has unprecedentedly backfired on the democrats and the American people have woke up (not that kind of woke) just in time to serve up a referendum on this administration at the ballot box in less than three weeks.
Factor in some of the worst hires and appointments in the history of the Beltway (I’m looking at you Janet Yellen, and your soon to be FIVE federal retirement checks), sprinkle on some partisan legislation like the American anti-Rescue Plan and the Inflation non-Reduction Act and top it off with failed foreign policy and standing in the world against the current global markets post (manufactured) pandemic, and we end up with a nation that is in serious and almost uncontrollable decline.
But that’s not all because of the Roe v. Wade decision, now, is it?
When Joe Biden gave his Independence Hall address to the nation in September, he said the quiet part out loud and confirmed that the Democrat Party of old was dead, and that the progressive radicals had officially assumed control of the wheel. With portions of the speech that read:
They “do not respect the Constitution,” he said. “They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election.” He added these “MAGA Republicans” see the people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 as patriots, and see that failed effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election as a dry run for the 2022 and 2024 elections. “They’re working right now as I speak in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself,”
It was made clear those moments that the new Democrat platform and messaging moving forward was going to be “If you can’t beat ‘em, destroy em,” indicating that they intended this message in the literal sense. They turned the joke phrase, “Ultra MAGA Republicans” into something now that is used by progressives to promote the literal end of our republic. As we watched the debates, we saw the dems resort back to their old tactics, sighting racism, being misogynist, or a xenophobe that republicans are coming for seniors Medicare and Social Security and of course that republicans are going to nationally ban and criminalize abortion.
Funny thing is though, we saw a much different Republican strategy than we’ve been accustomed to; both through the vast diversity of this incoming class of governors and congressmen and women and based off of the fact that the America First platform actually requires that you fight to achieve it. We watched it unfold in real time, debate after debate, after forum and town hall - Republicans we’re pushing back on the democrat talking points and narrative so much that not just the conservative press, but everyone was taking notice.
In each nuclear reply to a false, misguided or slandering statement made on the debate stage by democrats, republicans fired away with flashes of tactics commonly used and made famous by none other than Donald Trump. From the slow burn that is a Kari Lake receipt to a JD Vance landed “scumbag” on incumbent Tim Ryan or even Herschel Walker stating that the only policy that he agrees with Joe Biden on is that “he eats a lot of ice cream,” it’s more than a relief to see this crop of America First and mostly Trump endorsed actually appear as if they running to go and work for the American people in January 2023.
In any other election cycle where gas prices were low, the economy experienced its ups and downs but was at least steady and didn’t boast losing almost thirteen trillion dollars of American wealth in the last twenty months, where your children’s tests scores weren’t at forty year lows thanks to nearly two years of remote learning due to the 2020-21 Dr. Fauci Shutdown Tour and at the very least the streets of our country were just a little bit safer and not so homelessy or riddled with meth and fentanyl, than some bullshit line like “#Roevemeber” may have been enough to at least keep the Senate in Democrat control and have the battle for control of the House seem a little more mainstream than we’re experiencing right now. But thanks to the unwavering hated that Pelosi, Schumer, the gang running around shadows (Rice, Sullivan, Kerry, Clapper, Brennan, Stzrok, Kline, Podesta, Carlin, Monaco, etc.) behind the scenes have playing scorched earth with anything that Donald Trump hung his hat on as a benefit of the American people we have arrived at this juncture in time where we have the ability to do something about it.
Because the fact of the matter is,
(wait for it)
nobody cares about the abortion issue. It’s a debunked narrative, manufactured by the radical left as the next chip implant that has replaced BLM, January 6th, the Ukraine War and Orange Man Bad. It’s not a top 10 midterm election issue and very well may never be one. Like the LBGT movement and trans rights, these are narratives that represent the smallest fractions of a percent of the population and should be considered social issues. Not NBC Nightly News, Rachel Maddow, and CNN State of the (fake) Union take up 90% of their shows every night narratives. And when they do decide to provide any relevant coverage to the upcoming elections, you see the commentators squirm as if they’re possessed to admit that economy is bad or that John Fetterman was medically cleared to serve a potential six year Senate term (by a doctor who has donated to his campaign and adjacent ones like Warnock in the GA Senate race) or host election denier, Stacy Abrams as she spouts demonic talking points like abortions will help cut inflation and lower gas prices. It’s just like gun control - the radical left will attempt to pass crippling legislation that tramples all over the Constitution and your second amendment rights while the same progressives will let murders and rapists out of jail on no cash bonds to repeat offend again and again. They foam at the mouth with delight when John Durham doesn’t secure a win in the Danchenko Case or at the prospectus of Steve Bannon or Peter Navarro serving jail time while your 401k is down a third of what it was in January of 2021. The days of the democrats paper thin narratives are finally coming to an end and it’s really amazing to see how fast this boomerang has come back around.
I feel strongly enough to finally embrace the fact that everyone’s had it. Being the most woke, gender transitional and inclusive, carbon free country in the galaxy has failed, and we need to clean up our streets, secure our borders, reestablish our footing and presence in the global community and get the cost of everything back to somewhat reasonable levels.
You have to give credit where credit is due. Donald Trump and his massive slate of America First endorsements may not have all seemed to be the right fits for their races at first, but the closing polls across the board do suggest otherwise. The usual suspects when it comes to sabotaging our chances of success, McLeadership as we’ve come to coin them: Ronna McDaniels, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell all who showed little interest or seemed reluctant initially, but now have all come to embrace the fact that November 8th will be a historical day for conservative politics if we just finish strong.
Which I think we will. There will be more Trump Rally’s. The polls and talking points are all shifting in an America First direction. MTG, Newt and Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Glenn Younkin, Nikki Haley and even Tulsi Gabbard are out stumping for this movement because they know:
You’ve only got some many chances to save your county from the point of no return. And only those who actually fought for her will be the ones remembered when she returns to greatness.
