10 Nov The Texas R Defeat will have a Thousand Fathers…and Maybe One Big Brother
The traditional version of the old adage is: ‘victory has a thousand fathers; defeat is an orphan’.
The shellacking of Texas Republicans in the mid-terms will turn that adage on its head. There will be a thousand examples of finger-pointing as to who and what was to blame for such a wipeout.
And that is exactly what the Deep State/Uniparty/globalists want to happen. Their No. 1 goal and purpose is to destroy Donald Trump and the MAGA/America First movement.
Restoring national sovereignty, securing the border, reestablishing domestic manufacturing capacity, resisting Islamization, achieving energy independence and dominance—this is the agenda of MAGA/America First, and it is squarely and vehemently opposed by the Deep State/Uniparty/globalist apparatus. As Sundance at Conservative Treehouse puts it, the vehement opposition is because ‘there are trillions at stake’ in whose vision for the future prevails.
The vision of the Deep State/Uniparty/globalist apparatus is aggressively secular and denies national sovereignty as an organizing principle (and therefor supports open borders and unlimited migration by anyone going anywhere); believes a global banking elite should decide what manufacturing capacity should exist and where; and always, always, always…that all industrial and human activity, including energy development, should be governed by the religion of climate change alarmism, where ‘zero emissions’ is the supreme law of the world, unchangeable, and supreme above all other laws.
Yes, the two agendas/visions are diametrically opposed, and there truly are ‘trillions at stake’.
Additionally, Texas has long been acknowledged as the crown jewel of American patriotism and conservatism, and ‘turning Texas blue’ has been the dream of leftists for decades. Take down Texas, take down America, take down freedom in the world.
There is something too perfectly aligned about the Texas/US mid-term election results and the interests of the Deep State/Uniparty/globalist apparatus. And an engineered focus on the thousand fathers of the defeat too perfectly obscures a recognition of that alignment.
A sampling of that engineered focus on the ‘thousand fathers’:
- Ken Paxton was an outstanding Attorney General for Texas, won the GOP primary against incumbent John Cornyn overwhelmingly, and would have made an excellent US Senator for Texas. But was he, with his ‘high personal negatives’, the ideal top of the ballot candidate? Obviously not. And that undoubtedly hurt the entire R ticket.
- Governor Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick did not present an energetic, visionary case for re-election; Texans were not excited by the eleventeenth argument about property taxes…while their state and culture and way of life are under assault from Islam. Abbott and Patrick are good men, but unwittingly, they became walking advertisements for term limits. Of course this also hurt the R cause.
- And what about more than a decade of a Texas state House majority of Republicans who, every two years, without fail, allowed Democrats to pick the Speaker of the House? This was and is brazen Republican ruling class condescension toward their voter base…might that have had an effect on voter enthusiasm/turnout for Republican candidates? You better believe it.
Are there also pockets of Trump fatigue among the electorate that drove this result? Undoubtedly some. But it’s worth peeling back the onion on the narratives that are being shoved down our throats.
‘Forever wars’ is a great–sounding excuse for Trump fatigue, but the Ukraine/Russia war arose on Biden’s watch and Trump has been doing everything in his power to stop it…against the opposition of the Deep State/Uniparty/globalists.
The Iran war has been prolonged precisely because Trump would not commit the use of ground troops to turn it into a grind-it-out-to-finish-it war. But if Iran’s navy and air force have been obliterated, and oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz is at or above pre-war levels and gas prices are lower than during the Biden years—all at the comparatively modest cost of less than 25 casualties—what exactly is the forever war fatigue about?
Prior to the creation of this post-election narrative, does anyone recall even one legitimate anti-war protest? Those of us who lived through the Viet Nam war era know what real war fatigue was and is, and what nationwide anti-war protests and unrest look like. There wasn’t anything close to comparable in 2026.
Oh, but the critics answer, it’s not about fatigue but about a broken promise not to enter new wars. According to these critics and this narrative, apparently the correct policy is that a responsible President should have waited until the Iranian mullahs detonated a nuke on an American city—which they would not hesitate to do, if one actually understands their theological beliefs–only then would it be ok to enter a new war. Sorry, but it’s a huge stretch to believe a majority of American voters agree with these critics.
In the face of all this claimed Trump/war fatigue, Trump’s rallies in Texas (and everywhere else) were attended by tens of thousands of people, usually assembled on less than 48 hours’ notice. He was enthusiastically cheered; he wasn’t booed off the stage.
Yet the approved narrative tells us that Texans and Americans across the country turned out en masse to angrily repudiate Trump and instead support a party that wants to reopen the border, shut down ICE, expand trans rights against the will of parents, welcome the Islamization of Texas, end the electoral college, pack the Supreme Court, grow government spending, etc.?
Sorry, but the approved narrative just doesn’t ring true. The only thing that rings true is that the election results align perfectly with the interests of the Deep State/Uniparty/globalist apparatus.
So does this imply that election fraud had a role in producing these results? At first glance, the margins of victory and volume of votes cast make it almost laughable to believe election-rigging was involved. Almost.
But if the Deep State could rig it, and in the process carry out a global humiliation/repudiation of Trump and splinter the MAGA movement into a million infighting factions, would they do it?
Of course they would; there is nothing they would not do. They have made that perfectly clear since 2015.
Evidence of an ‘85% algorithm’ at work nationwide among voting machines is already circulating; it’s uncomfortable how it seems to fit/explain the results.
David Clements, one of America’s experts on election-rigging (and a friend of America Can We Talk) has been posting about a report to be delivered to President Trump 45 days after the mid-terms. It is apparently a report compelled by a previous Executive Order that must include the Department of War’s assessment of any ‘foreign’ cyber-based election interference before, during or after the mid-terms. Clements is assigning by implication great importance to the potential consequences of this report.
Trump hasn’t said anything about such a report recently, which might mean he’s keeping his cards close to his vest…or it might mean he’s already seen a preliminary report, and there is no evidence of such interference.
We’ll see. But the blue ‘tsunami’ just might not be as much of a juggernaut as we are being led to believe.
The tragedy of election-rigging is that it is truly an existential threat to the future of a self-governing nation…but with the possible exception of the President, there is no institutional body or group of people ready, willing and able to deal with it.
Defeated politicians (like Abbott and Patrick) do not want to be labelled as sour grapes/sore losers, and so go out of their way to be gracious and concede what should not be conceded; judges are frightened to death of calling election results into question, especially when the grounds involve software programming that few if any judges have any clue about; other politicians either don’t want to feed public distrust in elections, or don’t want their own elections called into question.
All that’s left to care about this existential threat are grassroots American patriots—who may have the analytical expertise but don’t have the vast investigatory powers necessary to get at the truth. They have common sense and an intestinal fortitude that will not be swayed by the gaslighting of official narratives.
Here’s the reality: Americans by the millions already distrust the integrity of election results, and one more official brush-off of suspicious results with a ‘just get ‘em next time’ message just won’t work anymore. President Trump is going to have to be transparent with the December 18 report. Unless it convincingly concludes there was no election-rigging, the President is going to be facing Abraham Lincoln-level decisions about next steps to save the Republic.
