Bear with me for a second while I spin one out:
We are embarking on the unraveling of tRump
Two unanimous votes, one in each House have gone against tRump
30 Republican Senators, off the record (of course) have said they’d vote for impeachment if it was a secret ballot (such profiles in courage!)
Over the next year, the optics are going to be terrible for the Republicans
Their polling already sucks and it will only get worse as we go into 2020
Getting tRump and his gang out of the Oval Office is going to be bruising and at the end we will feel like much of our Nation has been reduced to rubble, the political equivalent of London after the blitzes
Oh, I almost forgot, we’re due for a recession sometime between now and 2021
The news is going to be stressful for everyone, the Republic is in grave danger and it will be seen tearing itself apart on Nationwide Tv
What we will need to elect is a team that can rebuild the devastation
Here’s a brand name for that:
The Restoration
Restore America
We are better than this
The idea that we CAN rebuild, that we MUST rebuild if we want a decent future, when looked at from the pit of disaster this country is sinking into will be a very appealing position and several of our candidates are capable of carrying this message effectively
By restoring the Rule of Law, we can repair people’s cynicism about Justice in this country
By restoring the economy to salvage the wreckage, we can make our economy fairer
Many people are skeptical about things like “free tuition” and “free healthcare”
Because we all know, there ain’t no free
And while the ideas behind those slogans are good and worthy, they will sell better in a country that sees itself as wealthy
We don’t, right now, and won’t when the recession hits
But we do buckle down for strong economic moves in crisis
Restoration would require fixes beyond the level of 2009
Because it’s not just the economics, it’s the Rule of Law, it’s competent government, it’s respect for science, all need restoration
