The institutional Republican leadership is lazy, rudderless, and lacking a coherent strategy. Absent a wholesale change of the statist status quo brigade, they will quietly and compliantly flush our prospects down the toilet. I marveled this entire election cycle at the lackluster performance of the RNC. State party leaders need to initiate a tsunami that results in sea change for the party.

I agree that if anything will save this country, it is Federalism. The Federal government and the military-industrial complex have, as Eisenhower wanted, achieved a center of gravity that must be dismantled before we have any hope of reclaiming sovereignty at that level of government. So, political leadership must strive to return the power to the states, and hobble the Federal government as much as possible.

Great article and perspective, Jordan, and I thank you for both!

Justin Hart had a nice analysis this morning where he pointed out that the Blue states that held onto their power did so by extending the COVID voting rules of mail-in balloting, which favors the Dems big time. The red states like Florida made sure that those adaptations were removed, and we see the results.
