Republican officials’ timidity with regard to the outrages that the Democratic Party is committing against the American people under the Biden Administration dampens the American people’s urge to resist. Their default of leadership helps the Democrats’ seizure of long-term oligarchic power. The people’s deep resentment, however, will follow whoever and whatever ventures offer protection. As ever, leadership falls to whomever actually leads.

Elected Republicans are for the most part deaf, dumb and blind. Remaining on the “A” list on the cocktail circuit and strutting around like a pack of perfumed peacocks is more important than saving the country. I am totally confident they will blow the 2022 election - if we are still around to have one.

this article addresses the issue somewhat but, does not really express how the American taxpayer / citizen actually feels toward this fraudulent and illegal government in place today
MAGA, A more than ever!!!

We had ONE leader make it to the White House and from that point on, the republicans either helped hound him incessantly or remained hiding under their desks while it happened. My own state senator calls herself a republican, but is so obsessed with getting into the good old boys club she would sell out her own mother to do it.
I fear our experiment in self government has failed, and what replaces it will be far worse. We are seeing that now, with forced depopulation shots and more and more dire consequences (all man made) for those who dont comply.

If the Democrat Party is not actively trying to destroy this country, they are making one great job of doing it by mistake.
For the last 12 years they have divided us. Divided us by race and financial ability. They fill the country with illegals, they try to disarm us, they cheat us in our elective offices and the Presidency, they IMO work with china to destroy the trump economy with a virus that killed many across the world. They put a mentally crippled old man and a California slut in the 2 biggest jobs in the country and have a crazy woman as Speaker of the House.
And what have Republicans done to help? Fold up like a cheap suit.

And to this day, President Trump is the only pubbie willing to speak up. How sad.

Trump exposed them for what they are, spineless elites who cower under the orders from Pelosi and Schumer. Hypocrites who live in the squalid of the swamp. Their stench has far reaches and our enemies know it's rotting flesh. There will be no war because China and Russia see us rotting from within. Years of communist indoctrination coming to fruition. Pelosi, Schumer, Obama and the rest have sold the souls of their children and show no regret. Will this country ever wake up.

This article finally states what most Americans believe. We have been waiting for someone to publicly recognize the void in republican Leadership across the board. We can rally around that person who steps up and acts like the leader we need. Who will that be? When will he or she Rise tortilla this need. This essay Articulates the message, the urgency, and the belief we so badly seek to Restore, and to Save the American Dream.

When a Delaware Dummy like Biden gets support from 16 republican senators then the party is doomed and cowardice. I'm no longer a republican or claim all the Washington riff raff. The people that go along with democrats don't need support from me. If all the republicans including Mitch McConnell had condemned the monstrosity bill it would show a semblance of leadership but they didn't. We have no government just oligarch posers out for themselves and saving their own hides. America is on it's own with a brain dead dummy at the helm put there by fraud and theft of an election while republicans yawned and accepted it.

The elected republicans are right where they want to be - in the minority. They can go along to get along, vote against the democrats' policies and go back to their constituents and say "I tried".

It is worse than silence. 17 Republicans have joined the Democrats in destroying this nation. Conservatives have about 10 representatives, no judges, nobody in the bureaucracy, nobody in the FBI or other agencies. We only have 2 Governors in Fla and Texas, despite having 26 Governorships. Republicans control most of the state legislatures, but only a couple of them do anything. Apparently, Republicans do not control any cities or school boards, or if they do, they do not do anything.

No, Codevilla is nowhere near Victor Davis Hanson. Codevilla is an academic who thinks he knows all about how our country should be run, but if you really read his rants he is always out to get President Trump. In this one he lumps President Trump with what he characterizes as “the talkers” who don’t get anything done. I do not trust Codevilla. I very much trust real American VDH.

Codevilla is right on the Congressional Republicans, but we didn’t need him to tell us that. He ignores Jordan, Nunez, Cotton, Scalise, Ratcliffe. And more. Ironically Codevilla is in his own ivory tower where he can send down criticism after criticism and never have to do a damned thing to make things better.

Does OP seriously believe that President Trump did nothing re the “socialist assault on our country”?

The author's thesis begs the question: Is it the timidity of the elected that drives the timidity of the electorate or is is the other way around? Notice the democrats have neither a timid electorate nor timidity among those elected.

The Republicans are as incompetent as the Democrats are corrupt. Trump was hated by both because he was a conservative who didn't curl up into the fetal position and whimper when criticized.

The author is always a must read, right up there with VDH. This is no exception as he details Republican inaction to the socialist assault on the country.
