Here’s a fun thought: There are only 1462 days until Election Day 2028. Don’t forget to book your hotel to attend the inauguration on January 20, 2029 now to get the early bird special.
I’m kidding, of course, so please come in off the window ledge. That being said, if you think tonight is the finish line, or a finish line of any sort, you are sorely mistaken. There are no finish lines in politics, only checkpoints. That’s all tonight is, and it is very important.
I cannot stress this enough – the checkpoints matter. Each of them. Elections will never fix all the problems, sometimes they won’t fix many or any, but what they can do it is stop things from getting worse. When Republicans win, problems stop getting worse. From there, they can be made better.
No matter what happens, the elbows you’ve sharpened over the last few years will come in handy. They can be jabbed into Democrats if they win and try to do horrible things, and they will try to do horrible things. They can also be driven into the sides of Republicans who, if they win, may drag their feet on doing good things because doing those good things are hard or risky to their reelection.
I get that it might be demoralizing to hear this, but no matter who wins this election, or whenever we learn who wins, the fight does not end. I not only tell you this to keep you engaged, no matter which way it goes, I tell you this because I don’t want you to be surprised by the reality that is coming next.
If Kamala Harris wins, she will push to grant amnesty to every illegal alien in the country or planning to break in. She will move as quickly as possible to get illegals on the path to voting for Democrats because she won’t stand a chance at reelection without them. This isn’t the “great replacement theory,” this is flooding the zone to overwhelm the rolls.

The old way of thinking, something Democrats were happily open about, was the left was hoping to replace current Americans with illegals turned citizens to win long-term. But Democrats don’t have that kind of time anymore. They need to overwhelm voter rolls in swing states, particularly rural areas, where they can ship in 20-30 percent of the population and chase people away. Someone who may vote Republican can be negated by moving someone who will vote for Democrats into their city. But if that same person sees their town’s employment options significantly limited by an influx of illegals granted work permits and given welfare benefits to make their lives easier, then moves from rural Pennsylvania to rural West Virginia, their vote has effectively been wiped from the books.
Pennsylvania turns permanent blue while West Virginia remains deeply red. The Electoral College shifts to Democrats and it’s over. Not because the Electoral Vote can’t be updated to reflect population shifts, but because Democrats will do away with it the first chance they get. No Electoral College and there is no Republican President ever again. Not because a Republican wouldn’t be able to win the popular vote after that, but because there won’t be a country left to elect them when Democrats are done imposing their will.
Irreversible damage isn’t just what Democrats want to force on the bodies of confused children, it’s what they will do to the country as they forcibly transition it to something it was expressly created never to be – a collectivist prison. Don’t get me wrong, it won’t happen overnight and you likely wouldn’t notice the transition, but a velvet prison is still a prison. And when they set the rules they will not allow anything that will be undone; they will rig the system to make the rigged system unbreakable.
Republicans are not the answer to all the nation’s problems but it was the Democrats who caused them. Too many Republicans are hesitant to put on their big boy pants and do what is right, what they know to be right, if it could hurt them politically. Democrats have no such issue.
But Republicans will stop things from getting worse, and sometimes that’s enough. Not long-term, but in the immediate that is more than enough.
First you stop the bleeding, then you stitch it up, then you heal, then you work to get stronger. I wish I could tell you there’s a finish line in that direction, but there is not. The pressure to “do more” is always there in government, no matter how many times government doing more made the problem worse and helped only bureaucrats. People do not learn, they need to be constantly taught while keeping bad instincts in check. That never ends.
Elections are not a sprint; they are marathons that never end. Take a breath, celebrate or lick your wounds, whatever applies to what you’re looking at and hoping for, because the 2028 race starts tomorrow. And you’re welcome for me not mentioning that it’s only 727 days will the 2026 mid-terms.
