As leftist lawfare bludgeons Fox News into becoming a RINO network, as predicted exclusively here and here, Dr. Samuel Johnson’s famous lesson comes to mind: The prospect of a hanging concentrates the mind wonderfully. Woke brigades are overrunning every institution and threatening our basic civil liberties—but GOP voters are responding courageously. The woke crisis has scrambled the hierarchy of priorities among conservative voters; issues of lesser importance that once determined our votes are being pushed down to make way for more urgent concerns.
This is terrific news. Finally, we’re insisting on a MAGA agenda, and no longer doing the bidding of agenda-setting “conservative” tycoons (such as the Murdochs) who push their own fiscal interests ahead of what’s truly important.
A recent Wall Street Journal poll showed how far we’ve moved toward a MAGA plan of action and away from the gospel according to National Review. When asked to choose between fighting “woke ideology in our schools and businesses” and “protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits from cuts,” 55 percent of Republican primary voters chose the former, 27 percent the latter. This result stunned establishment pundits and others who assumed economic issues always trump social ones. But those numbers square with how in fact patriots cast their ballots (and with my own experiences while active in politics years ago).
Other results from the poll were equally hopeful, revealing growing resistance to rising leftist aggression. When forced to choose between “securing our southern border and stopping the flow of illegal immigrants” and “fighting woke ideology in our schools and businesses,” 44 of GOP voters chose border control, 24 percent chose woke control, and 25 percent said “both equally.” The peril posed by a militant woke Left has penetrated the average conservative’s life and mind to the point that these concerns are now driving voting behavior on the Right.
