Every Presidential election, the talking heads and pundits say THIS election is the most important in a generation. Some go so far as to say it’s the most important presidential election in history. They’ll say that every time, regardless of the election itself. That’s their job, at least from a ratings and traffic perspective. They’re paid to make things even more important than they really are.
I’ve always held back on making such claims. Since the first presidential race I covered in 1992, I’ve tried to keep everything in perspective, not going down the road of painting this candidate or that policy as an existential threat. Even in 2012, when it seemed like Obamacare was destroying the economy and President Obama himself was making a mockery of our status in the world, I didn’t see him as an existential threat. Republicans had the House. They would soon have the Senate. His executive orders were bad, but not to the point that we needed to threaten civil war or leaving the country.
2016 proved to be an extremely important election. It wasn’t the biggest of our country’s history, but one can definitely argue it was the biggest in a generation. Still, Hillary Clinton’s brand of progressivism was lukewarm at best. She is a capitalist and prolonging the policies that Obama put in place wouldn’t have been the death blow. The Supreme Court justices she would have nominated could have been, which is what really made that election so important. But, thankfully, she failed miserably.
Now that we’re getting into 2020 election season, my tone is shifting. It’s not just the Supreme Court. The President must win reelection in 2020 because if he doesn’t, whoever takes his place is going to start transforming America in ways President Obama could have only dreamed of doing. There is one important reasons for this, one thing that make the 2020 election much more crucial than 2016 and arguably the most important election in American history.
I’ll try to keep it short, though this topic could easily fuel a whole book.
The rise of the radicals
Electing President Trump was big, but arguably bigger was the DNC’s theft of the Democratic nomination from Bernie Sanders. He should have won. If the DNC didn’t oppose him so vehemently, he probably would have. And as bad as that scenario would have been, the resulting upheaval following his loss within the Democratic Party has been even worse. They struck him down, but he came back more powerful than they could have possibly imagined.
No, Bernie himself is not more powerful than he was in 2016. In fact, I’d place his nomination chances lower at this stage than they were at this point in 2015. But his ideology has risen. Little communists are running around spreading their anti-American message more than they did back then. And more candidates have embraced it. Joining Bernie in the hyper-leftist socialist camp are Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg, despite the latter two not claiming the progressive mantle nearly as much as Warren or Sanders. They own it, though. They’ll have to if they want to get the nomination in the end. While most political prognosticators are banking on a moderate turn by whoever eventually wins the nomination, I believe it will be that unique moment when the opposite happens. They will not go soft. They will go all-in, driven by the Justice Democrats and their pets in Congress such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The reason they’ll go left and never veer back to the right is because the upheaval that will happen in the House of Representatives will draw them to the fire. They will see AOC and her cronies complaining about Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the Establishment Democrats and they won’t want to be lumped in with them. The Justice Democrats are getting greedy. They see an opportunity and they’re taking it even if it hurts them in the future because they believe they have the power accumulated already to steer the party over the socialistic cliff. In fact, they see the presence of President Trump as their primary detractor as being a call for them to act now rather than later.
They need to get their way. America needs to see what radical progressivism truly represents. And then America needs to shoot it down.
The only way to make the radical progressives go back to the obscurity of coffee shop discussions and Antifa violence is for the American people to rise up and say, “Nope, that’s too far.”
If Joe Biden or some other old-school Democrat wins the nomination, the problem with the far left will only grow bigger following the election. They’re here because Hillary lost. They’re emboldened because AOC and other radicals won. They have suspended disbelief that radicals can win and reinforced the belief that moderates like Clinton or Biden aren’t the answer. Now, they’re going for the kill shot.
We need to hurt them badly in 2020 or they’re just going to get even stronger.
We must oppose them on the ideological battlefront. We need to let them have their moment in the spotlight, then summarily spank them back to their parents’ basement to whine on social media. We need an unambiguous series of wins in 2020.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
