Sooo....Gavin Nuisance, er, Newsom wants to redistrict California to eliminate five Republican seats and steal them for Democrats. Ron Desantis isn't going to take that lying down:

Newsom had mumbled about "you poked the bear and now the bear is poking back" and so too is the alligator.

Wee'll win the redistricting wars; the Democrats have already done about all the redistricting they can do and Republicans never did it so there is fertile ground for it. We're going to pick up a lot of seats that should have been ours to begin with, and the Democrats are going to find they are powerless to stop us.

Eventually when you cheat at poker you will run up against someone who cheats you back. For years the Dems have done this on the theory the Republicans would fear retaliation to avoid just such a contingency. But Trump is a different breed of cat and he's willing to take the slings and arrows of the media, and he's made it obvious that in the end the media's power is waning, if it ever really did exist. Saul Alinsky once said that it's not the power you have but the power the enemy thinks you have that matters. For decades we believed they had all this power. Now, thanks to Trump, we know better.

Power is self-feeding too, if you wield it. If we win a solid majority in Congress thanks to this we will be able to realign things to secure that power, and to grow it. The Democrats have always understood the manipulation of power and it's exercise; look at any Democrat machine, be it in Chicago, which eventually took the whole state of Illinois, or in any other machine city or state. Once you start winning you can run the table if you don't grow timid.

We stand in an unique historical position. Right now we have the opportunity to completely destroy the Democrats, or turn them into a solid minority at any rate. They are in a trap of their own making, with the lunatic fringe now controlling the party in many ways. That fringe lacks any appeal to the majority of Americans and can only win in specific areas. We appeal to the center of the country. But they can't dislodge the radicals because too many of them hold too much power and if they anger the base of the party, which is now more Bolshevik than anything else, they will lose. Bill Clinton and the other triangulators have no place in the Democratic Party anymore. Shoot; Nancy Pelosi is considered a moderate when she in fact was a radical upon her elevation and promised to be "boldly Progressive". She fought the good fight every day and never cowared. Yet now she's too soft for them. The Party is now Trotskiite and will soon be Stalinite. While that appeals to some idiot youths it isn't what most Americans want. And now so many Americans are waking up to that fact.

I think the death of Charlie Kirk is going to have a much larger impact than historians will ever give it credit for; the Democrats could have embraced him as a decent man if misguided (in their view) and called for peace and that would have gone a long way towards bringing back the public. But most of them didn't do that, prefering to call for the murder of his widow and children, and showing the truly demonic nature of the Party. It's going to be a lot harder to win back many of these folks. Evil is such an ugly thing, which is why it usually hides in the shadows.

So we have Charlie Kirk, who was just the latest in a string of murders, of lawfare and abuse going all the way to the attempts on the President's life. Such violence has often served communists well in the past but it only works when the public has no alternative and just wants peace at any price. In this case we have galvanized the core of the American People and have a viable alternative that is neither cowardly nor fascistic, but which will do what is needed within the confines of the law.

In the end decency and a willingness to fight for what is right will prevail - as long as we remember this nation was consecrated to God and protected by Him. I think this redistricting is just one example of how we always had it in our power to win; we just had to have the courage and wisdom to try. And to have those we needed the Holy Spirit, who gives us those things.
