Will Americans Finally Put an End to the Managed Decline of the West?

Bad news for President Biden in latest New York Times poll

“In a remarkable sign of a gradual racial realignment between the two parties, the more diverse the swing state, the farther Mr. Biden was behind, and he led only in the whitest of the six.” —The New York Times, November 5, 2023

“Trump Leads in 5 Critical States as Voters Blast Biden, Times/Siena Poll Finds,” reads The New York Times November 5 headline. The subtitle: “Voters in battleground states said they trusted Donald J. Trump over President Biden on the economy, foreign policy and immigration, as Mr. Biden’s multiracial base shows signs of fraying.” The article states, “The results show Mr. Biden losing to Mr. Trump, his likeliest Republican rival, by margins of three to 10 percentage points among registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Mr. Biden is ahead only in Wisconsin, by two percentage points, the poll found.” (Note the NYTimes’ use of Trump’s MAGA name: Donald J. Trump. Is this mocking?)

Chart from the NYTimes article

This poll likely over-represents support for the Democrat candidate, as polls did in 2016 and 2020. Trump has to be ahead in Wisconsin—and leading by more in the other states. Trump is more popular now than he was in previous cycles, especially among minorities. If Republicans can prevent Democrats from the election rigging of 2020 (postal voting, ballot harvesting, drop boxes, limiting voter ID, suppression polls), and end the lawfare against Trump, he likely wins in a landslide in 2024. It will be the third president election victor for a president who will have only served twice.

From the article: “Discontent pulsates throughout the Times/Siena poll, with a majority of voters saying Mr. Biden’s policies have personally hurt them. The survey also reveals the extent to which the multiracial and multigenerational coalition that elected Mr. Biden is fraying. Demographic groups that backed Mr. Biden by landslide margins in 2020 are now far more closely contested, as two-thirds of the electorate sees the country moving in the wrong direction.”

And this: “Voters under 30 favor Mr. Biden by only a single percentage point, his lead among Hispanic voters is down to single digits and his advantage in urban areas is half of Mr. Trump’s edge in rural regions. And while women still favored Mr. Biden, men preferred Mr. Trump by twice as large a margin, reversing the gender advantage that had fueled so many Democratic gains in recent years.” And this: “Black voters—long a bulwark for Democrats and for Mr. Biden — are now registering 22 percent support in these states for Mr. Trump, a level unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times.”

If he wins, this time around, Trump will have a better understanding of how the administrative state worked to undermine his presidency the first time around. He needs to move on the Heritage Foundation’s plan to deconstruct the administrative state and the technocratic apparatus (Project 2025) —and begin the journey of stopping the managed decline of our nation and restoring the American Republican to its greatness—returning democracy to the people and securing their individual liberties and rights.

Trump needs to act immediately and decisively to end WWIII and reign in the influence of neoconservatives (i.e., legacy of the cold war progressive), close the border and start mass deportation, reimpose the travel ban from Muslim-majority country, and reform (if not dismantle) the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Justice (DoJ), and the FBI and related agencies, as well as Department of Health and Human Services along with its attendance regulatory agencies: the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Department of Agriculture. The departments of Defense and Education are in desperate need of ideological cleansing. Shrinking NATO and reigning in, maybe even defunding the United Nations (UN) are also in order.

The people must restore American sovereignty and reestablish the principles of individual liberty and democratic-republicanism. Europe needs to join the project to save the Enlightenment and Western Civilization. There are hopeful signs in Europe with respect to immigration and deportation. The trans-Atlantic community must strive to regain its confidence as the greatest civilization the world has ever known. Expect belligerent resistance from the crowd of misfits that’s right now marching in our streets condemning “white settler colonialism” and expressing anti-Jewish sentiment. Enough corporate governance, professional-managerial rule, and street-level violence. The people have to crush this movement against democracy, freedom, and justice.
