Jumping Ship

I’ve seen headlines recently in the Liberal media claiming that this thing or that thing is going to “rip MAGA apart.”  The latest thing is the Epstein list.  The thing before that was the spat between Trump and Elon.

But MAGA isn’t even close to being ripped apart.  In fact, one or two bumps in the road toward Making America Great isn’t going to make even a small ripple.

Here’s the thing, those of us who support President Trump all know that we’re not going to agree with him on everything.  And we know he’s not going to be able to deliver on every promise he made during his campaign.

Excellent Batting Average

Don’t get me wrong, he’s delivered on a shitload of his promises in just the first six months.  I’ve sort of gotten used to hearing about another big win every day.  I’ll even admit I’m a little disappointed when a day goes by and Trump and his team haven’t accomplished something world-changing.  He’s set my expectations that high.

But I know there will undoubtedly be some things that he’s just not going to be able to do.  When that happens, it will likely be because of something the Democrats did to stop him. 

The Democrats have tried to block every single thing that Trump has proposed.  A lesser man would have folded under the pressure.  Hell, Trump 1.0 would have folded under the pressure.  But this is Trump 2.0.  And he’s simply run out of fucks to give.

Pretty much everything that President Trump has set his mind to doing he’s accomplished.  Eventually though, the Democrats will throw up a roadblock so big even he can’t get around it.

And when that happens, it’s not going to “rip MAGA apart.”  Sure, some people are going to complain a bit, but they’re not going to stop supporting Trump.

I mean, what’s the alternative? 

No Place Else to Go

Let’s say some random MAGA supporter is upset with Trump for not immediately caving into demands to immediately release whatever Epstein evidence there is.  The Democrats seem to believe that the person will dump Trump and leave MAGA. 

But where would he go?  It’s not likely that a MAGA supporter will be so upset about not seeing the Epstein evidence that he’s going to suddenly start supporting the people responsible for the immigration crisis, runaway inflation and men playing in women’s sports.

And yet, that’s exactly what the Democrats seem to believe.

It’s almost as if the Democrats have no idea what the MAGA movement is all about.  Yes, I’m being sarcastic.  Because it’s obvious that the Democrats really don’t have any idea what MAGA is all about.

The problem the Democrats have is that they’re projecting their own reactions on to everyone else.  But just because they’d react a certain way doesn’t mean everyone will react that same way.

Conservatives don’t need to agree on every issue.  We have the ability to think independently.  Unlike Liberals where if you don’t believe everything you’re told to believe they’ll kick you out of their club. 

So, Democrats believe that if a Conservative disagrees with even just one thing Trump is doing, MAGA will kick them to the curb.

That just isn’t so.

A Huge Dumpster Fire

And they don’t seem to understand is that for every one thing Trump doesn’t deliver, there are literally hundreds of things he does deliver.  Nobody in their right mind would walk away from Trump for a single failure.

I saw a poll the other day, yes, I know, I shouldn’t believe anything the polls say, but this particular poll said that the Democrats’ approval rating is at a 35-year low.  I tend to believe it because the Democrats admit it’s accurate.

Every poll indicates that people are leaving the left in droves.  And the Democrats just don’t get why this is happening.  Oh, they claim to understand, and they’ll talk for hours about what they think the reasons are. 

The Democrats believe that their problem is messaging and branding.  They believe that if they just use slightly different words to explain why men should be allowed in women’s restrooms that people will all of a sudden start to think it makes sense.

But they’re not even close.  Sure, they have an image problem.  But that’s caused by the single fact that nothing they do makes any sense.  They are on the wrong side of literally everything.

It’s Really No Secret

There’s no excuse for them not knowing how to fix their issues.  Every conservative with a platform, no matter how large, tells the Democrats what they’re doing wrong.  It’s not like we’re trying to keep it a secret hoping that they won’t catch on. 

The answer is right in front of them.  We’re telling them EXACTLY what they need to change to bring their approval rating out of the dumpster.

It’s really pretty simple.  If the Democrats want even the slightest chance of winning someone over to their side, they need to stop doing stupid shit. 

Here’s the Fix

They need to start supporting President Trump and stop fighting against every move he makes.  It’s hard to take anyone seriously when they can’t find even a single thing with which they can agree.  Besides, most of the country agrees with what he’s doing.

Democrats have to start using common sense.  Nearly every argument they have against Trump’s agenda is ridiculous.  I suggest they take the George Costanza approach.  Whenever they’re about to do something, they should stop and do the exact opposite thing.

They must start owning their mistakes.  Until they can admit that their side is responsible for practically everything that’s wrong with this country, nobody is going to believe that they could possibly have a plan to fix it.

Democrats must start telling the truth.  The Democratic party has done nothing but lie for at least 10 years, probably longer than that.  It’s going to take a while to rebuild their reputation and earn our trust.  But it must be done if they want to be relevant again.

If they can do these things, then they’ll at least have a chance of winning over a disgruntled MAGA supporter.  Until then, not so much.

America First Means America First

So, no, MAGA isn’t going to “rip apart” just because Trump hasn’t yet delivered on one or two of his campaign promises.  I say “yet” because he’s only been in office for six months, and he’s been a bit busy delivering on hundreds of other promises.

The Democrats have a long way to go before they’re going to be able to convince a MAGA supporter that they’re not full of shit.  It won’t be easy, but they can do it.  They just need to embrace the main concept of the MAGA movement.  That is: America First.

But that’s going to be difficult for Democrats to do

Because America First doesn’t only mean that America’s interests must come before the interests of any other country.  It also means that the Democrats must start putting America’s interests first instead of their own self-interests.
