Republicans Aren’t Striking

We have a historic opportunity to deep-six the “woke regime,” but that potential has not yet become kinetic. If Republicans are not prevented from working their controlled-opposition magic, the forces of wokeness will regroup, reload and reconstitute under a different name. 

Remember when we killed Common Core last decade? It simply reconstituted under a more subtle, subversive, and nameless construction.

Democrats find themselves overextended politically on issues like illegal immigration, affirmative action, racial politics, and gender ideology. An intrepid Republican Party would go in for the kill — end those policies and plow with salt over their graves.

Unfortunately, we are watching in real time as proposals in state legislatures to categorically ban illegal immigration, end all forms of affirmative action, and extirpate any reference to things like race, gender, and global warming in state policy are being defeated by the Republican Party. GOP legislators are pushing to only deport criminal aliens, to focus only on men in female sports and not on the core of transgender insanity, and to continue racial preferences at some level in state government. 

When Republicans are in power, they refuse to wield it as Democrats do. This gives the woke regime time to retreat behind safe lines and reconstitute the same vision under slightly different policies, parlance, and presentation. They will return to the field rested, reorganized, and in a far more dangerous position.
