## Resource

Are Republicans actually powerless, or do they simply not share conservative values? It's time to break free from the failed political duopoly. Today, I expose the stark reality behind the lack of conservative accomplishments at both the federal and state levels. From the floor of Congress to supermajority red-state legislatures in Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas, the evidence is undeniable: The political establishment is prioritizing corporate interests, data center expansion, and leftist policies over the voters. I prove once and for all that the GOP perfidy is not due to timidity, lack of public support, or lack of legislative numbers and power; it’s due to a lack of values. Even when Republicans have the numbers and support to do popular things, they actually prioritize leftist ideas instead. There are a number of examples in today’s news to prove this. Now is the time to start a new movement. The good news is that the public is not fond of the Democrats and their ideas either. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
