WHAT DO WE DO? WHAT DO WE DO?
LAWD HAVE MERCY, WHAT DO WE DO?

Everyone’s asking, now that we’re finally waking up from our sixty-year coma, and discovering (GASP!!) the barbarians at the gates.

Clearly, we have to learn to fight. But face it, we’re not going to take to the streets and start throwing firebombs. Not yet, anyway. It’s just not who we are. Which means we remind ourselves that political leverage still counts, but we have to use it.

It’s time to convince the clowns we voted for that we meant it: we want them to take a stand, risk their comfort and fight for us. In return, we’ll vote for them again. That’s the bargain, and rolling over and playing dead in the hopes that the rampaging mob won’t notice them is not part of it.

So what do ask them to do? Here’s a great starting agenda, courtesy of Kurt Schlichter:

• Strip all federal money from colleges that fail to actively protect free speech.

• Tax college endowments. Let’s lance the boil that is academia!

• Target Big Tech targeting of, and discrimination against, free speech. Strip Section 230 protection from any tech company that bans speech otherwise protected by the First Amendment, and pass an “Internet Bill of Rights” that allows consumers to sue tech companies for oppressing them (Want some help drafting it? Have your people call my people).

• Ban corporate discrimination on the basis of politics so that our ability to function in society is not at the mercy of big corporations that have adopted the ideology of a mid-wit Goucher College collectivist phrenology major.

• Remove all federal aid from cities that refuse to protect the rights of citizens by allowing Democrat catspaw radicals to run rampant and go unpunished.

• Make attacks on cops for being cops a federal hate crime.

• Make it a federal crime to block a federal interstate and to threaten or restrain drivers. Clarify that blocking a vehicle is a threat to the life and safety of the passengers and ensure that accelerating to escape this kind of attack is presumptively legitimate self-defense. And give those inconvenienced the right to sue for damages for being delayed.

• Pass a “National Self-Defense Against Political Violence Act” to protect our ability to use force to defend ourselves against rioters, thugs, and other Democrats. Soros-bought local DAs released criminals but threaten patriots should we exercise our civil right not to be brutalized. Take that travesty off the table.

I’m sure you can think of more, but imagine the galvanizing effect it would have on that part of the country that is still interested in making it work, survive and thrive. In 1994, Newt Gingrich’s Contract With America was ridiculed by Democrats and the media, but it won back the House for the first time in 40 years and forced Bill Clinton to negotiating table.
