Truism.
We didn’t create this country behind “moderates.” We created this country behind people who veritably placed their very intimate lives on the line and took a stance for Conservatism and freedom. Those persons who believed in minimal government, independence, self-determination, religious freedom, unfettered thought and speech, and the ability to defend same. (Leftists run this way: 1. What isn’t prohibited, 2. Will be mandated.)
And we won’t save this country behind moderation. Moderation to me is the equivalent to defeatism, to capitulation, at this stage in our history. Time and again Liberalism has yielded the downfall of our cities and, by dint of that, the expansion of government in order to backstop failed Leftist policies. For Leftists, it’s a win-win.
For people who may desire to stand on their own two feet, it’s lose-lose.
With one major exception:
The US Government, over many generations now, has taught people how not to stand on their own two feet. The US Government has taught people to become dependent on it, which in turn mandates larger and larger government, more spending, higher taxes.
Moderation is the ability of the GOP to look the Demorats right in the eye, squint, and say “yes, you’re correct; looks like I’ll have to come over to your way of thinking.”
Moderation is for losers.
Just look at the GOP.
