We all know that the Republican Party, more than even low taxes or Ronald Reagan, loves to lose. In the last fifty years, we can count on one hand the number of times the Grand Old Party honestly can say they won over the American people, prospered a movement that actually sustained itself on conservative principles, and prioritized their voters over all else.
The Reagan Revolution, the Tea Party Movement, and the emergence of the America First, Make America Great Again coalition that the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, helped facilitate. That's all. Decades upon decades of the party existing, and all we have to show for it are three, or maybe four, if you count President Roosevelt's revolution of nationalist populism, which started as a third-party uprising, true victories.
It is unfortunately true that, regardless of how much evidence is presented to the old guard of the establishment GOP, they continue to deny that every populist and nationalist victory has been the key to our progress.
The MAGA, America First, conservative mindset is formulaic in adopting values and policies that align with our Christian founding, and we have to ensure that we get the wins to not only win elections but return our culture to its origins. The GOP does not have structure without populism, and it does not have much time left if we do not start to concentrate on selling our pitch to the American people.
Populism and nationalism are the only paths forward for our party to survive and actually help out our voters, or they are going to get complacent and start voting in Democratic Marxists that use those tools to divert the nation into a bastion of communism that will mount destruction that America has never seen previously.
Communist and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani recently met with President Donald Trump at the White House. The two exchanged pleasantries and took questions from the media. Specifically, Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec asked Mamdani whether he was still focused on raising property taxes in white neighborhoods, as he promised during his campaign.
Posobiec said, "You talked a number of times in the campaign about shifting the tax burden for property taxes from minority communities to white based communities. Was that one of the polices you talked about?" Mamdani responded by saying, "No.... The use of the term was a description of neighborhoods, not a description of intent." As Posobiec continued to press, Mamdani stated that as the head of New York City government, "We intend to create a fair property tax system because we want a New York City that is not only fair and equitable."
In summary, Mamdani dodged Poso's questions because he knew that his race-based communism would not look good while standing before the President of the United States. Mayor-elect Mamdani knows that he used populism as a vehicle to sell his communist ideals to not only New York City voters, but the rest of America. Jack, I, and so many other MAGA patriots who value populism as a tool for the Republican Party, saw right through Mamdani's charade as a working-class Democrat for the commie that marches around with a smile and a suit that he is. We all know how populist nationalism can be used as an instrument to speak to our voters in the best possible way. The problem is, and it always has been, the establishment standing in the GOP's pathway to success.
America needs to be put first, foremost, and greatest. In this nation, we are not going to put another country's interest before our own. That is the parties of years past, not the MAGA conservative movement that the GOP has facilitated in the last ten years.
The old Bush neoconservatives of the past thirty years have a plan to take our party from us if we do not act. This is not the 'aw shucks' conservatism that our grandparents and parents were participative in. It is not even the pseudo-libertarian approach that the 2012 Republicans created with the Tea Party movement.
America First conservatism needs to work to conserve something. We are not an idea. We are not a marketplace full of diversity. Most importantly, we are not an economic statistic for bankers and stock market investors to rub their hands together over.
We are Americans. We are a nation that needs to be conserved. Our Christian conservative values cannot be pushed to the side due to a podcast, electoral loss, or who or what the mainstream media is telling us to cancel. If the GOP begins to forget about the affordability crisis, mass deportations, or deterring crime from killing the American family, our movement and party are dead.
It is time for the GOP to get serious about the party we want to be. Either we want to be the America First party of the working man that the everyday American can be proud of, or the party of the elites that protect the class that is America Last.
It's simple for conservatism and the GOP: Embrace nationalist populism, or crumble.
