A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND
From J C
The day after Governor DeSantis’ incredible scientific roundtable Tuesday, and his multiple revolutionary announcements, President Trump released a teaser ad yesterday about a “major announcement” he plans to make today (Thursday). The new Trump campaign appears to be named “America Needs a Superhero,” and features Trump tearing open his white dress shirt to reveal a tight red super-hero suit.
The new campaign tagline is unfortunate, inasmuch as I’ve often cautioned against the “Superhero fallacy,” which is the notion that we can rely on one magical person to save us. That ain’t happening. We’re going to have to save ourselves.
It is undeniable that the vaccine issue is a weapon DeSantis could use against Trump, if DeSantis runs for president. Some Trump fans are already understandably suspicious about DeSantis’ intentions for the Grand Jury and the new Health Committee. But, respectfully, I think that misses the point and is a dangerous distraction.
There’s plenty of evidence that DeSantis’ intentions are genuine. Just track his entire trajectory and evolution as a freedom-fighting governor. Tuesday’s roundtable was consistent with everything DeSantis has done since the day he broke with the federal narrative, opened the beaches and ended Florida’s lockdowns, all amidst corporate media’s hysterical condemnation.
But EVEN IF DeSantis were even PARTLY motivated by presidential politics, it doesn’t matter. It would actually be a benefit to the covid accountability movement. The friction, if there is any, between Trump and DeSantis over vaccines will only promote the medical autonomy movement further and faster than it could ever have happened otherwise.
I hope DeSantis stays in Florida. We need him. I believe the Governor can be more effective here than he could be in D.C., where he’d be opposed by the Deep State at every turn. That’s my current position. But if DeSantis were to run, then the healthiest thing would be for there to be a full and fair primary and for conservatives and MAGA folks to continue working together and not fight with each other.
Quoting the Bible, someone important once said, “a house divided against itself cannot stand,” and our enemies know that full well. They hated Lincoln, too. They’d like nothing better than to create a civil war in the conservative movement. There’s no reason we have to play into their hands. We should remind people about that quote every single day for the next two years.
And we should defend and assist the new Health Committee, the new Grand Jury, and the Governor.
Anyway, the last time Trump teased a “major announcement” it was just to declare his candidacy for 2024. I’ll let you know tomorrow whether today’s announcement moves the political needle, or stabs anyone in the eye.
“The friction, if there is any, between Trump and DeSantis over vaccines will only promote the medical autonomy movement further and faster than it could ever have happened otherwise.”
For sure. And its there.
On this point, RDS wins hands down and its a major point of division.
If RDS has plans for 2024 he would be the stronger candidate on many fronts. He actually gets things done instead of merely taking arrows.
As for joining “The Club” that is the bigger question and if accurate, one has to hope he can steer the Club in a different direction, and reconstitute it internally.
Plus 1 to all that pedro
As long as Trump shows his pig headed adherence to the clot shot, he’ll slowly lose his base. Too bad, his arrogance is his worst enemy.
