Twenty years ago, the radical leftists demanding "REAL! CHANGE! NOW!" were confined to the sidewalks outside the Capitol, waving their hand-lettered signs like the fringe cranks they were. Today, those same extremists have infiltrated the halls of power itself – and they've spent decades rewriting the rulebook to benefit only themselves.
A former Capitol Hill staffer writing for The Blaze delivered a brutal truth bomb this week: It's time for President Trump to stop playing by rules that Democrats abandoned long ago. The question every patriotic American should be asking is simple – why are we extending courtesy to people who show us none?
The Left's Playbook: Rules for Thee, Not for Me
For decades, conservatives have operated under the naive assumption that if we just follow proper procedures and maintain institutional respect, Democrats will do the same. How's that working out for us, folks?
While Republicans worried about Senate norms, Democrats nuked the filibuster for judicial nominees. While we respected the peaceful transfer of power, they launched the Russia hoax before Trump even took office in 2017. While we called for unity, they impeached him twice and raided his home.
"Awareness poses a direct threat to dynasty politics so people start asking for their rights and nothing can be more frightening and annoying for someone running parties as family limited companies when people start questioning the rationale behind decisions," noted one social media observer, perfectly capturing how the establishment fears an awakened America.
Trump Has the Tools – Time to Use Them
President Trump didn't return to the White House to play patty-cake with the same swamp creatures who spent four years trying to destroy him. He has a mandate from 75 million Americans. He has Republican control of Congress. He has the constitutional authority to clean house.
The American people didn't vote for "business as usual" – they voted for the complete dismantling of a corrupt system that has failed them for decades. Every day Trump plays by the old rules is another day the Deep State regroups and plots its next attack.
It's time to take the gloves off. The survival of our republic depends on it.
