The Hero is the Orchestra, Not the Soloist

We lost Wisconsin, it seems.

For all of the effort that went into it, in a state that voted for President Trump 49.60% to 48.74%, Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel appears to have lost by 9 points.

How does that happen? It happens because Republicans don't organize, don't get involved, and don't stay involved or organized. It tends to be the case that once they think they have their champion elected (in this case, President Trump), he's got it. It's time to relax and let him save the day.

We wait for a white knight to show up. The definition: "a hero who comes to the rescue; a beleaguered champion who fights heroically for a cause, as in politics."

There isn't a single hero. There is no white knight. It's a myth.

For every political cause, only one thing will win: numbers. That's not one person. That's 51% of the people. That requires organization. It's why the Democrats succeed when they should never succeed.

We hear all of the time that nobody likes the Democrats:

So how do they win? Because they organize and stay organized.

Are you tired of politics? Of course. Who isn't? But in any war, the side that loses is the side that gives up and you love your family too much to give up.

Here in Texas, the leader of the Senate wants to give Hollywood half a billion of your money and grow the budget. It's not what you want. And the leader of the House wants to pass bills that no one has read and have hearings behind closed doors where the public has no input.

We get the government we allow. The hero is the orchestra, not the soloist. The hero we're looking for is We the People, not a single person.

It's time to organize and stay organized. Or we will lose everything.

Brett, you hit right on what I was about to write about on my page.
It's hard to figure out some folks motivation, or lack there of.
Trumps profound words, after being shot, "Fight,Fight, Fight" should resonate in everything we do. All the time!

I will not have you suffer by commenting til my heart's content as doing so would surely present as babble speak of 50 years of actively, persistently, fight-fight-fighting the ignorance and corruption of both parties. I'm old, retired, tired of being taxed ad nauseam, and sick of the blatant lies, the self-serving, ladder climbing arrogance and egos. See, babble speak.

Last summer I purchased a product intending to use as a fundraiser to support Trump in the Nov. election. Hurricane Helene delayed production and my order didn't arrive in time to distribute. However late, it may be more attractive now that Trump is rocking DC. It's still available to support a true (prove it) CONSERVATIVE candidate, local/district/state, OR to support a real valuable research/data activist... like you, Brett. One case (24 cans/4 6-pks) of beer featuring Trump's Fight, Fight, Fight, bloody-eared, fist up labeled cans of Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer. To the best of my knowledge "Dad" has not (yet) produced a second run of this label. Auction? Highest bidders? Suggestions? PS... individuals/groups known to be or support RINOS by their actions or lack thereof will not be recipients of funds raised, if any, from these FIGHT beers.

Rant and babble over. Thanks for suffering me. Godspeed.

You nailed it Brett. We have had great success here in Montgomery County primarily because we have a great team. But it is very rare to have a conservative candidate who inspires people, manages conflicts within the team, is a true leader, and is knowledgeable and effective at getting things done. And, that candidate also has to have enough financial resources to take on the machine and most do not. Keep up the good work brother.

Brilliant and timely article! Get involved, stay involved! The mid-terms and primaries will be here soon. Liberty is worth it!

The Dem/Commies have raised lying & psychobabble to an art form. With the assistance of RINOs, they have pilfered elections, passed legislation that antithetical to our Republic, & delayed/defeated critically important legislation that would advance our conservative agenda. It is indeed time to Fight, Fight, Fight! Defeating TX RINOs is the place to start since it gains a net two when a RINO is ousted. Me know who they are & devote time, attention, & resources to excise them & send a clear, unmistakable message that they will no longer be tolerated.
Too many voters are unaware of the RINOs in their midst because RINOs are slither around, hiding like the snakes in the grass they are.
The time for voter supplication is over. The Republican Party at all levels of Texas cannot declare victory & go home—this is an ongoing battle that never ends.
Indeed, it is time to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.
