Beaten at Their Own Game
The gerrymandering game is not going well for the left. They tried to gerrymander Virginia, which is about a 49% Republican state. There would have been ten Democrat districts and only one Republican district, but their courts struck it down. Ironically, one of the Supreme Court Justices who voted against the measure, D. Arthur Kelsey, was appointed in 2002 by then Governor Mark Warner. Now a Senator, he is criticizing the decision. Republicans, who are finally showing some nerve around the country and are fighting fire with fire, seem to be on the path to successfully gerrymander districts in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina.
The fact of the matter is despite what Store Brand Obama, otherwise known as Hakeem Jeffries says, the Democrats have been playing this game for years, and the tide just turned against them.
Traitors to the Republic
Not only does the Democrat Party have no loyalty to this country, but several of them have more loyalty to other countries. Hatred of the United States, freedom, and our founding fathers is nothing new to the left, but the actions of several on of them take it to another level.
Pramila Jayapal is actively aiding communist Cuba by trying to funnel oil to them, which goes against U.S. sanctions, and undermines us in favor of another country. This is a blatant violation of the Logan Act which prohibits unauthorized American citizens from negotiating disputes or corresponding with foreign governments. John Kerry, Mark Milley, and others on the left were also guilty of this when they formed their “shadow government” during President Trump’s first term, and if you think they aren’t doing the same thing now, you may need to check that your head and neck are firmly attached to your shoulders. Jayapal openly claimed she was “in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places.” This is treason. She needs to be locked up for her actions. She is acting as a spy. It’s no different than espionage. She is aiding the enemy from within.

Conservatism: Fighting the Left AND the Establishment
The establishment is full of fakery. Phony people acting like they are on the side of righteousness and truth when they are not. This is something that has become much more apparent to me since I moved. Since South Carolina is such a red state, there are many areas where Democrats cannot get elected. The solution? Do what state senator Luke Rankin did. Switch your party and run as a Republican while not changing the way you vote or represent the people. South Carolina is often referred to as the “bluest red state” in the nation, and with good reason. It turns out very little conservative legislation, and the reason is because the politicians are pulling the wool of the eyes of their constituents. It’s the reason we get people like Lindsey Graham, with his lifetime 43% conservative voting record. These people would run as Democrats if this was a blue state. They would have to. These people go wherever the winds are blowing, which takes no courage whatsoever. We conservatives fight uphill battles consistently, while they support the candidates with the most money. The ones with the biggest PACs. The ones who are the most easily controllable. They sacrifice their morals and their souls to back people with political power. The citizens are merely an afterthought.
Fighting the Power Hungry Establishment in South Carolina
The career politician-loving class does not just exist on the national level, it exists on the local level, and I have been battling them for four years, since I got involved in local politics. These people are the reason that despite the fact South Carolina is about 70% red, our Republican representation (apart from the patriotic Freedom Caucus) votes conservatively around 30-35% of the time collectively. That means they are more frequently on the side of Democrats. Since this is a red state, they need to put the R after their names to get elected. If this were New York or California, they’d have Ds, because they go with the flow to get elected, with the help of big corrupt money from PACs and the chamber of commerce. My own representative has an R after her name and votes conservatively 24% of the time. We deserve better than this.

One of the biggest lies the fake Republicans will tell you is that the state is getting bluer due to the influx of people moving down here from the northeast, a claim which is easily proven false. Let’s take New York, for instance. They just elected a mayor of New York City who is a straight up communist. The furthest left they’ve ever been. So, New York is getting bluer. How is it possible that a state people are moving from and a state people are moving to are both getting bluer? It isn’t possible. The real threat to these people is that the people moving down here are actual conservatives, like me, and are not controllable. Their good ‘ol boy establishment circle is threatened by us. That’s what they aren’t telling you. There’s a reason Lindsey Graham is now viewed negatively by 57% of the state. The only chance he has to win is if more of the establishment and Democrats get out to vote than conservatives do – that’s what he is counting on.
