Saritha for New York Atorney General beat Letitia James so bad in the debate it was like someone punching an elderly patient in the nursing home 🥴

Vote Republican
Saritha is what's up.

This is a type of seriousness I want from my Republicans. It was like Floyd Mayweather or Terrance Crawford fighting a co**se.

One thing that really pi**es me off is when Republican candidates proudly use:

“I’m not a MAGA Republican.”

As if that, by itself, is supposed to be a qualification for office.

Okay. Then DEFINE IT.

What exactly are you rejecting?

I am firmly America ONLY. And at this point, I don’t even know what “MAGA” is allegedly supposed to mean to some of these candidates beyond: “I don’t like Trump.”

Because they rarely tell you.

They don’t say:

“I disagree with Trump on these three policies.”

They don’t say:

“I’m a constitutional conservative, but here is where my philosophy differs.”

They don’t say:

“I’m America First, but I disagree with this particular approach.”

They just announce:

“I’M NOT MAGA.”

Okay.

So what ARE you?

Because when you refuse to define yourself except by telling Republican voters which Republican you hate, you are telling us something about your character before you ever get into office.

“Well, they’re just saying that to get votes.”

THAT MAKES IT WORSE.

If you will misrepresent what you actually stand for to get elected, what exactly do you think you’re going to do once you have power?

You’re showing us who you are right now.

And that concerns me.

Because if you reject MAGA, then explain what you mean.

If you reject Trump, say specifically why.

If you reject America First, say it.

If you reject traditional conservative Republican principles, SAY THAT TOO.

But stop hiding behind a slogan designed to reassure Democrats while refusing to tell Republican voters what you actually believe.

That looks like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Because when you refuse to define MAGA, refuse to define your own conservatism, refuse to say America First, refuse to say America ONLY, and spend more time reassuring Democrats that you’re “not one of THOSE Republicans” than explaining what you will fight for—

I’m paying attention.

And then some of these same candidates start talking about how wonderful the Democrats are, how much they respect the Democrats, how badly they want to work with the Democrats, and how they’re definitely not like those mean Republicans.

Then why should a Republican vote for you?

Seriously.

Why?

If your entire sales pitch is that Democrats should feel comfortable with you because you won’t really govern like the Republicans they oppose, what exactly are Republican voters getting?

A weaker Democrat?

A Republican label with Democratic instincts?

A candidate terrified of being identified with the people whose votes they are asking for?

This lily-livered Republicanism is part of how we got here.

No spine.

No clear principles.

No willingness to take incoming fire.

No willingness to stand on business.

Just endless retreat, accommodation, apology, and surrender—followed by confusion when conservative voters stop trusting the people carrying the Republican label.

And then these candidates get into office and everybody acts shocked when they refuse to fight for the things Republican voters actually sent them there to defend.

I’m not shocked.

THEY TOLD YOU WHO THEY WERE DURING THE CAMPAIGN.

Listen to them.

Because this is bigger than Trump.

It is bigger than MAGA.

The serious question is whether Republican candidates still believe in traditional conservative Republican principles strongly enough to SAY SO, DEFEND THEM, and GOVERN BY THEM when doing so becomes uncomfortable.

And if your political identity consists primarily of reassuring Democrats that you are nothing like the conservatives in your own party—

then you are not offering an alternative.

You are participating in the erosion of that alternative.

And that is a threat to the continued existence of traditional conservative Republican principles—and to the Christian principles that many of us understand to be foundational to what this party historically ought to represent.

So stop telling me what kind of Republican you’re NOT.

Tell me what you ARE.

Tell me what you believe.

Tell me what you will defend.

Tell me what you will fight for when the pressure comes.

And if you cannot do that clearly, unapologetically, and without checking first to see whether Democrats approve—

Then Maybe The Republican Label Never Belonged On You In The First Place‼️

What socialist and democrats tell you. And then say oh let's make everything free. Small businesses Where's that money going to come from? The everyday citizen is the only recourse. Did take it out of your paycheck then they take it in sales tax then they take it in small fees and cost it sometimes you don't even notice but if you really open up your utility bill or start digging into all of the other fees and stuff that the state is charging You start to see all of these rising costs for things I can share it and food and literally everything else are coming from there poor policies.

A lot of y’all put up stuff saying y’all stand with Ukraine, Israel, Mexico, Palestine, Marxism, socialism, and communism—but have the audacity to call other people treasonous.

There’s only ONE country to stand for and with: the United States of America.

And all of you supporting socialism, communism, and other forms of Marxism are carrying water for foreign ideologies and the interests of countries that are not our own.

You want to talk about treason?

Y’all supported rounding up American citizens during COVID, throwing away the Constitution and our civil liberties—and now y’all want to lecture somebody else about treason?

I’m sick of this nonsense.

I don’t stand with any country other than my own: the United States of America.

If the rest of the world burned to the ground tomorrow, it is none of my affair.

The interests of our country are paramount.

Another country’s interests are never ours to represent or put ahead of our own. Our government’s duty is to the American people alone.

Foreign affairs matter only insofar as they directly affect the United States and the interests of American citizens.

Period.

Everything must be about the American people.

Not foreigners.

Not foreign nations.

And definitely not foreign ideologies.

America’s government has one primary obligation:

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

America ONLY ‼️🇺🇸🦅🫡
