The tectonic plate shift that you are expected to buy:

The notion that The Republican Party won in 2024’s US Presidential Election is bunk. Democrats won hands down. They just ran under two different brands – The Blue Team and The Red Team

The Blue Team – The Deep State Democrats. Your Mentally-Ill Trannie Son’s Democratic Party

Run by The Entryists, a coalition of permanent war-loving MIC loyalists, personified by State Dept hacks Victoria Nuland & Anthony Blinken and, from the Bush/Cheney Frankenstein Dept of Homeland Insecurity, Alejandro Mayorkas. The Clintons are regarded by the blue-blood Blue Teamers as trailer trash cousins – on the team but an embarrassment. Comfortably at home here are the nominally “Republican” Democrats, such as Liz & Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, The Bush Family, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins and from the grave, John McCain. Pretty much 80% of GOP members in Congress are on The Blue Team, some under deep cover, some barely dressed in red. Supported & sponsored by the media, Bill Gates, The UN, the WHO, the EU, plus The FBI, CIA, CISA, NSA and paid for by the CCP. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are honorary members.

The Red Team – The Exiled Democrats. Your Grand Daddy’s Democratic Party

Led by Donald Trump. Until 2015, Donald Trump was a Democrat. Until 2018, Elon Musk was a Democrat. Robert Kennedy Jr is still a Democrat. Vivek Ramaswamy? Democrat. If they were not utterly compromised and controlled by the FBI, CIA and CCP, the Bidens would love to be back on the Red Team. This is your Grand Daddy’s Democratic Party. Marco Rubio, the Florida Democrat sponsored by sugar barons, rode the Tea Party coat-tails to power as a Republican and has somehow ended up as your Grand Daddy’s Party’s Secretary of State. Go figure. Having no place else to go, the other 20% of GOP members in Congress are shacked up in Trump’s Red Team.

That leaves Rand Paul to plough his lonely Republican furrow,

What happened to the Republican Party?

The Overton Window Happened. They enabled it to happen. Because “conservatives” (who have conserved nothing these last 200 years) keep wanting to be liked, whereas socialists want to be in power.

The socialists and their media kept moving “the center” leftwards. As The Blessed Maggie said – you don’t move to the center, you moved the center to you. But the GOP is, first and foremost, in business to raise money for its leadership. The Republican Party exists to fund lifestyles. Being in power makes it hard to raise money, whereas having the bad guy Dems in power motivates the rubes to donate big bucks to get them out – “Jam Tomorrow”. Meanwhile, they want to be liked and fawned on by the media (which hates them). They move incrementally left. Eventually, the Republicans had moved so far left that they were to the left of the 1960s Democrats of JFK.

Interlude: Pol Pot, Trotsky and Being Left of Right of Left

Pol Pot kicked off his Year Zero monstrosity in 1975 with a politburo of 31 dedicated leftist ideologues. He and two of them survived – the rest being eliminated in various ways by the time it was over, in 1979. There is always someone “more left” than you, no matter how far left you go. Therefore, if you stay where you are, remaining just a normal lefty, you soon become “far” to the right of the rightmost leftist who is to your left. Got that? It is a dangerous place to be. Even if you are lefter than they say, just being labeled a “rightist“, or a “far right revanchist running dog of capitalism” can get you an ice pick in the head. Or worse.

In the madness of a Maoist “cultural revolution” where you are a school teacher, or in a Kampuchean Year Zero, where wearing spectacles is a sign of dangerous intellectualism, your public demise is part of the show. But as the leader or as a member of the Politburo, or any holder of power, the people close to you are a threat to your power, as Kings learn of uncles, regents and cousins and brothers and sisters.

By moving left, the GOP is, ironically, ever more “far-right” according to The Blue Team and their Media and the rest of the power hungry. Had the Republicans stayed even nominally right (ie had Reagan not given way on Amnesty for Illegals but instead had the GOP run mass deportations of illegals as did the Dems in the 30s) then California would still be reliably Red and the Clintons may be in jail. But then, the CIA had their man HW Bush as Reagan’s minder Veep. Come to think of it, Reagan survived an assassination attempt, unlike JFK. HW was in Dallas when the CIA team allegedly assassinated JFK. But I digress…

End of Interlude

The GOP is a dead man walking. The political movement occupying and animating its husk – The Trump Train – is not a “right wing” political party. It is more akin to the Kennedy Democratic Party of Camelot in 1961 – your Grand Daddy’s Democrats – and is nothing at all like the Nazi Party moniker tacked onto it by the Pol Pots, Bolsheviks and Maoists and [****] running the establishment Democratic political party.

An early indicator of the Red Team Democrat movement was the escape from the Blue Team plantation of lifetime liberal Glenn Greeenwald, followed under the wire shortly after by Matt Taibbi. Joe Rogan is another “not-Conservative” who has discovered small-c conservatism, providing a megaphone for others who have jumped over or crawled under the plantation fence. Marc Andreesen is a recent convert from Blue to Red, out of pragmatic convenience.

Looking at Substack, we see a bunch of JFK Jr camp-followers who have followed liberal Steve Kirsch into The Red Team, such as author John Leake and the rest of the Courageous Discourse crowd. Reading the nose-holding comments of most of these people regarding The Donald, I’m reminded of a comment by a Texan I met long ago, discussing HW Bush – “Bush is the kind of guy who steps out of the shower to take a piss.” These are allies of convenience – purple at best, and longing to be welcomed back into the folds of Team Blue.

The challenge is to move the Overton Window incrementally to the Right, where most of America resides, and to take the The Red Team with it – thus forcing The Blue Team to shift right. That will be the task for 2028’s election: preventing back-sliding and keep on moving Right.

If we can move The Blue Team back to 1960, we will return the center to the right side of personal initiative, freedom to choose and freedom from imposition, improved health, low taxes, high productivity and less war.
