“Freedom is being disliked by other people. The cost of freedom in interpersonal relationships is that one is disliked by other people. The courage to be happy also includes the courage to be disliked.” – Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga, The Courage to Be Disliked

Newsmax White House Correspondent Emerald Robinson ponders if we still have our civil liberties as uniparty consolidation continues, calls out the professional losers in the GOP Establishment, and asks “When did the GOP cease to be a functioning party? When was the exact moment that you knew the GOP establishment stands for nothing and stands against nothing?” The exact moment we knew that the GOP establishment didn’t appreciate the populist gift that Trump brought them (the GOP was in its death throes before The Donald) was the day that Bannon got canned, August 18, 2017. Robinson excoriates the pathetic GOP “leadership,” writing “As you watch the total collapse of the GOP establishment, it now seems obvious why so many GOP voters picked a flamboyant Manhattan real estate developer with a TV show about firing incompetent people to lead the party in 2016. Our corrupt political class is so out of touch that Donald J. Trump got elected to save us from them — because he was, by comparison, an honest man. The GOP managed to get rid of Trump, but they also managed to get rid of most of their voters. Their timing is impeccable too. McConnell and McCarthy and the rest of them have managed to hitch their wagon to Biden just in time for the credibility of everyone in Washington to bite the dust in Kabul.” Read Robinson’s piece here and subscribe to her The Right Way substack here!
