Watching cable news and listening to talkers and a parade of congressional Republicans, you’d think someone waved a magic wand, making all of America’s troubles vanish. The Ukraine war is very visible, however. The war for the nation’s future is gone, as are the many battles that comprise that war… a war that decides whether or not America is free and prosperous or succumbs to authoritarianism, whatever the brand.
Conservatives — those gripped by war fever with Russia — are ignoring the cold civil war raging in our country. “American Marxism,” conceptualized by Mark Levin, is no less a threat to the nation. Lose the war to that ism and America is finished, even if it’s still called the “U.S.A.” and retains some of its trappings.
Republicans are making a serious strategic blunder. Their preoccupation with Putin’s aggression won’t win the GOP seats in congressional and down-ballot elections this November. Voters will tire soon enough of Ukraine, 24/7. Moreover, due to Joe Biden’s stunning incompetence and ideologically driven agenda, Americans are grappling with inflation-induced gas and grocery price hikes, an open border, and worries about crime. Those issues are uppermost for voters. They’re priorities.
