From Barry Goldwater To Donald Trump

Barry Goldwater is thought to be the father of the modern Conservative movement in America.  Though Goldwater failed to be elected President in 1964 when he ran against Lyndon Johnson, it was Goldwater who paved the way for Ronald Reagan who beat Jimmy Carter in a landslide.  President Reagan was one of the greatest Presidents in American history.  Reagan’s policies of peace through strength brought down the Old Soviet Union.  Cutting taxes and regulations brought prosperity in the United States.  Reagan’s optimism and “morning in America” slogan was really the first MAGA President. 

George Bush I, who came after Reagan was really not much of a Conservative.  Bush I was part of the Deep State Establishment.  Today, we would call him a RINO.   He told us, “read my lips, no new taxes”.  The Socialist worked Bush I when he agreed to raise taxes and it cost him the election to Bill Clinton.  George Bush II was a “compassionate” Conservative.  Bush II did well responding to 9/11; but then got mired in the Iraq War.  Bush II was less Establishment Republican, but he too was old school and pretty much went along to get along.  Bush II paved the way for Barack Obama.  

And, then came President Donald Trump again one of our greatest Presidents.  Trump’s America First MAGA movement resonates with half the country.   Biden is right.  MAGA voters are angry because we see an America in decline.  We do want to go backwards to policies faith, family and freedom.  We don’t support the Green New Deal that will lower the standard of living for all Americans.  We don’t support woke public schools indoctrinating children with Critical Race Theory Marxist, racist revisionist fake history and the radical LGBTQIA agenda.  We do support fair trade not free trade to bring jobs back to the United States.  We do support Cops stopping crime and our Military.  We want a secure border to stop the illegal alien invasion happening at our border and drugs flowing into our country that are killing thousands of our people.  We are pro life and oppose unrestricted abortion infanticide.  We support the Second Amendment and will never surrender our guns.  

MAGA is the modern Republican Party that started with Barry Goldwater.  Whether President Trump is reelected in 2024, or not, it will be a MAGA Republican running for the Presidency.  75 million Americans voted for President Trump and his ideology.  We liked what we saw then and we like what we hear from Trump today.  The Deep State Establishment hates and fears Donald Trump because they can’t control or own him.  They love RINOS that they have controlled for years.  Those days are over.
