The Deserved Republican Hardships (2016)

Conservatives and Republicans are worried that Trump is going to cost them elections.  Should I feel bad?  Nah, and here is why.

There is lots of talk this 2016 election cycle regarding how the Conservative movement is taking a hit because of Donald Trump.  The Republican and Conservative movement needs to own their failures and stop blaming Trump for their problems.  To show the problem, we need a look at the political landscape for the last several election cycles.  Really, the problems go further back.  The Democrats, contrary to how people portray them, are not stupid and use useful Republicans to promote their agenda when possible.  It's an easy way to exercise the Hegalian dialectic.  If you own both sides, you can progress the narrative any way you wish.  So what has happened?

Over the last 30 years (probably longer) the Democrats have managed to monopolize all forms of broadcast media.  They have also monopolized print media, including adult content, and Hollywood.  Those same stations own most Internet based media for News, so it's a tightly controlled echo chamber.

There are a few exceptions allowed so that the Democrats can claim "no look, they own that one so it's fair" but "that one" is always a small Radio station which can't seem to hold on to National Syndication.  Perhaps a small one off  Website labelled "Crack Pot" by the Democrat controlled media.  But they are all small and have difficulty getting and holding sponsors and national syndication.  Especially if they are a big success at deconstructing the Progressive narrative.


To put it plainly, the battleground is very lopsided.  Oh both sides have their fighters but the Democrats have propagandists demoralizing the enemy,  Sappers, and Money being churned out by the Bankers to keep everyone well funded and supplied.  Their fighters are also not afraid to kick you in the groin in combat.

Meanwhile, the Republicans lack the sappers and funding.  Their version of propaganda is the rare occasion when the Democrats let them be seen on TV edited by the Democrats to make them look like clowns.  Perhaps even worse, the Republicans refuse to allow their fighters to fight dirty.  "No groin kicking by our guys, we are the good guys".


Every few years the Republicans send out their virtuous warriors to battle expecting the enemy to behave virtuously.  Every few years, the Republicans have to go clean up the mess left on the field after the Democrats beat them to a bloody mess.  Romney was painted as a demon who ripped money out of poor starving children's hands.  Sarah Palin was painted as a slutty dumb cheerleader with slutty kids.  John McCain was painted as a doddering old buffoon on his death bed.  And the list could go on and on.

Do you see a problem with the tactic?  I DO!

Along comes Trump who hates that Democrat Army.  The Republicans all scoff and bang their chests claiming "he can't beat our guys".  They line up their best to prove that the outsider Trump is going to lose.  One by one, Trump kicks their asses rather soundly by using the same dirty fighting the enemies use.  Instead of admiring the ease with which he beat them, at each defeat the Republicans turn their backs folding their arms and complain about how he fought dirty.  "He's not a real Republican." and "He's not a real Conservative".  "No fair, he cheated!"

So now Trump stands against the Democrats with very few Republicans at his side.  Still we find people willing to use any possible excuse to fold their arms and turn their backs.  "He's not one of us, he cheats".

Good grief, you bunch of bickering adolescents!  You had a chance to whoop the Democrats soundly this time around.  You could have used the media hype to promote even more Conservatives into office.  The corruption of the other side is easily seen when your guy is free to use the enemies tactics against them.

We got to find a whole lot of enemy sappers sitting inside the GOP and have a chance to clean house.

But nah, it's too easy to claim you are on the high road.  So what if more ground gets lost to the Democrats, you got to play your virtue card.

If you lose, it's your own damn fault.  Own every little bit of that failure, because you deserve it.
