The Devil Not Known

Or … doing the same thing and expecting a different result

This is a branch off my post yesterday about the OG Democrats taking-back their party.

It’s also a post for those still thinking Trump will do this time what he failed to do last time.

Newsflash: he won’t.

… and for those thinking he can win:

Newsflash: he can’t.

Consider: if 2020 wasn’t stolen, he can’t win 2024; if 2020 was stolen, he can’t win 2024.

This time in choosing between the devil I know (the GOP) and the devil I don’t (RFK Jr), I’m going with the latter.

I don’t see any R with the same political skill, knowledge or drive to destroy the NatSec/Pharmafia/pro-war/anti-free-speech State (if one really can differentiate them) that is  possessed by RFK.

Think about it. When confronted with opposition (which assuredly will exist in any attempt to annihilate the Deep State), what does the GOP traditionally do? What’s their guaranteed game plan? Surrender.

What’s the game plan of Democrats? Win, no matter the cost.

So … if we have a D, RFK, with a serious desire to win for both political and personal reasons vs an R, DeSantis, who already has reversed for the Deep State (eg Ukraine)… the reasonably predictable outcome would be that DeSantis will surrender and RFK will not.

Ultimately, I may regret my choice, but I’ve pretty much regretted every GOP choice I’ve made - they keep bamboozling my vote and then keep going Prog/RINO. Even Reagan grew the government.

It would be insane for me, when presented with what seems a viable, anti-Swamp alternative, to go GOP…. again… and expect a different result.

Your mileage may vary.
