I describe myself as a reluctant Republican. I am a conservative who used to be a Democrat until that party went totally off the deep end. I don’t want to see the Democrats take the midterms–I don’t want to go back to the Biden economy and endless impeachment trials. There is a real danger of that happening if Republicans stay home in the midterms. Why would they do that? An article posted at Substack paints an interesting scenario.

The article is written by Sam Faddis (former intelligence) and is titled,”If The Republican Party Wants The MAGA Base To Show Up In 2026 They Better Show Up For The Base Right Now.” The establishment Republicans have expected the MAGA base to get them elected and then ignored the wishes of that base. I suspect many in the base are no longer willing to play.

The article states:

For years, the MAGA base of the Republican Party fought to push the America First Agenda and to return Donald Trump to the White House. Against all odds and in the face of weaponization of the justice system, manipulation of the electoral process, and the intense opposition of the so-called mainstream press, it succeeded. Americans voted for an end to the status quo, an end to the oligarchs, and a return of power to the people.

And, now, with President Trump back in the Oval Office, we find that the MAGA agenda seems increasingly blocked. The GOP establishment seems determined to prevent meaningful change and continue business as usual in the Swamp.

The article concludes:

We were promised an end to the replacement of American workers by foreigners brought here to take our jobs. H-1 B visas remain plentiful, and Americans continue to lose their livelihoods and pensions to workers imported from abroad.

The Democrats have not gone away. Their party is increasingly dominated by Marxists like Zohran Mamdani, who wish to destroy the republic. What just happened in Virginia with the inauguration of Abigail Spanberger as Governor ought to send chills up and down the spines of every right-thinking American. She was elected because vast numbers of voters who showed up for Donald Trump in 2024 elected to stay home and withhold their support from a Republican candidate who did not appear to support the MAGA agenda. From the moment she took office, Spanberger has moved with astonishing speed to pursue her radical agenda. The same will happen nationwide if there is no immediate action.

If the Republican Party wants the MAGA base to show up in 2026, they better show up for the base right now. We voted for action. We have not seen it.

That’s a stern warning. I hope Congress is listening.
