And one of the main reasons the right doesn't show up to vote is that many only show up to the polls to vote for one man: Donald Trump.
He is the MAGA movement, after all. He has been the best president since Roosevelt (Teddy, not communist-sympathetic FDR).
But Trump's name will not be on your ballot this year. And, like many other times before, this will lead to conservatives staying home or not leaving work in time to make it to the polls.
After all, Trump is not on the ballot. Or, is he?
The truth is that if conservatives lose the House in 2026, impeachment will be back on the table before the ink is dry on the election results. Not after some lengthy deliberation. Not after new "evidence." And Trump's policy, the one conservatives voted for, will be imperiled.
It will be immediate. It will be performative. It will be political. We have already seen this movie. We have already heard Democrats vow to do it again.
Make no mistake about it. Donald Trump is on the ballot in 2026.
Not his name. Not his face. But his presidency, his agenda, and the remaining years of his administration absolutely are.
Democrats impeached President Trump twice during his first term. The first time, before the country had even finished adjusting to the fact that he had won. The second time, after he was already leaving office. They did not hide their intentions then, and they are not hiding them now.
Not only did the impeachments lead the news cycle for four years based on lies, but they also stole from President Trump his freedom to lead as the people had voted him in to do.
After years of lies and millions of dollars spent, Trump remained in office, but the democrats had succeeded in stealing his ability to fulfill the mandate of the American people.
Leading voices on the Left have openly said they are eager for another opportunity. They believe impeachment is not an extraordinary measure, but a routine tool to neutralize a president they despise.
If Republicans lose the House in 2026, the next two years of a Trump administration will be consumed by investigations, impeachment hearings, and endless political theater.
Cabinet officials will be dragged before hostile committees. Policy momentum will grind to a halt. America's priorities will be stalled not because voters rejected them, but because conservatives failed to show up when it mattered most.
That is why 2026 matters just as much as 2024 did.
Winning the White House was essential. Holding it is just as critical. Vibes or slogans do not maintain power in Washington. Majorities maintain it.
Majorities are maintained by discipline, organization, and relentless turnout. The Left understands this. That is why they never stop campaigning.
That is why they treat every off-year election as a chance to claw back ground. Conservatives cannot afford to treat midterms like an afterthought.
One of the clearest lessons from the last decade of conservative activism comes from Charlie Kirk and the grassroots army he helped mobilize. While many commentators argued endlessly online, Charlie was registering voters.
While others debated strategy, he was talking to low-propensity voters who had never been asked to participate before. While some were worried about optics, he wore the MAGA hat and started conversations.
He never let off the gas because he understood something fundamental. Western civilization does not survive on autopilot. It survives because people are willing to fight for it. Every. Single. Election.
The conservative movement made massive gains in 2024 not by accident, but by intention. Voter registration surged. Low-propensity voters showed up. New coalitions were formed.
None of that happened because consultants said it would. It happened because ordinary Americans decided the stakes were too high to sit back.
That same urgency must define 2026. The West is not in the clear. We must fight.
This means showing up in Republican primaries and choosing candidates who are actually strong. Candidates who can win. Candidates who will fight and excite the base.
Candidates who understand that holding a seat is just as important as making a speech. Losing a winnable district to a weak nominee does not prove a point. It hands power to people who will use it against everything conservatives claim to value.
It also means continuing to register voters everywhere. Churches. Campuses. County fairs. Neighborhoods. Small businesses. Friends and family who lean right but never vote unless someone takes the time to ask them.
The work that paid dividends in 2024 cannot be shelved now. Momentum decays quickly when movements get comfortable.
Conservatives should assume nothing. Not the House. Not the Senate. Not public opinion. Every cycle resets the board. Every election is a new fight.
The Left is counting on exhaustion. They are counting on complacency. They are counting on conservatives to believe that a single win means the battle is over. It is not. It never is.
President Trump understands this. That is why his message from the miracle in Butler should be our rallying cry as we enter 2026. Fight. Fight. Fight.
Trump is on the ballot in 2026. So is the future of his presidency. So is the West. The work continues. The stakes remain high. And the only way to secure victory is to keep driving forward without letting up.
