Defining terms: Sundance at Conservative Treehouse (CTH) has been calling this battle ‘The Big Ugly‘ for around a
decade: The Big Ugly battle is
essentially the fight between the grassroots working class base of MAGA voters
and the professional political snobs in control of the Republican Club
boardroom.
And now, Sundance has nailed it again. He figured out that the mid-term election Red Wave might still materialize, but it's likely that as of now, conservative voters are already demoralized, because the media and GOPe did -- and still are -- gaslighting the public:
We’ve seen this exact playbook
before.
The delayed “official results” from
Colorado, Arizona and Nevada are all part of the organized narrative
engineering from SoS [Secretary of State] offices, party officials (local and
state) and corporate media.
…
In the big picture, the goal was to
undermine and deflate the MAGA base represented by President Donald
Trump. 2022 midterm MAGA wins downplayed and or delayed. 2022 MAGA losses
overemphasized, highlighted and promoted as part of the script. That’s
what we are seeing now. That’s all we are seeing now.
And this blog bought into the Red Ripple reports. As Mark Twain said, it’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they have been fooled. Count me as un-fooled. At least yesterday, we blogged on Trump’s success rate with endorsing candidate: 95% of Trump-endorsed candidates won. So far. (And I hope the conservative blogosphere re-thinks the decisions to throw Trump under the bus.)
On Thursday, Sundance fleshed out the bigger picture. You
may find encouragement not only in his analysis but also in the reader
comments. He starts off:
The Democrats and professional
Republican class both want to see the populist movement destroyed for the same
reason Mitch McConnell wanted the Tea Party destroyed in 2010. The
assembly of the united middle-class and blue-collar base inside the Republican
Party, essentially the broad MAGA movement, represents a Main Street threat to
Wall Street control of the GOPe.
There are trillions at stake.
As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’
megadonor and Citadel hedge fund billionaire, Ken Griffin, openly admitted recently the Wall Street goals are (1)
stop the populist movement and (2) get the Republican Party back in alignment
with the multinational “corporate world.” These are the same goals of the
Republican leadership in Washington DC and the same goals as the corporate
media who serve as the public relations firms for Wall Street.
The collaborative group, which
includes the entirety of the funding mechanism and management behind Ron
DeSantis, viewed the 2022 midterm election as an opportunity to reset the
Republican Party away from the populist MAGA influence. The strategy was
to roll out of the August DOJ Mar-a-Lago targeting, directly into a nationally
rebranded DeSantis operation and then lead up to the 2022 midterm election.
Anything that can cast Donald Trump
as a negative would be enhanced, and anything that would cast the MAGA movement
as a positive would be diminished. In part, this is the intent behind the delayed positive election results from key
MAGA races in CO, WA, NV and AZ, combined with emphasis on the negative - albeit
controlled - election ballot outcomes from Michigan and Pennsylvania.
At the 30,000-foot level the
attacks against President Trump are, quite frankly, attacks against the MAGA
populist movement represented by President Trump.
Read the entire posting here. The posting concludes with President Trump’s
Statement re: Ron DeSantis. I recommend
reading Sundance’s posts a couple of times;
there's a lot to absorb.
