The Republican presidential primaries are now destined to culminate in the party attempting to return power to former president Donald Trump. But the record strongly indicates that even if Trump is elected, this will not bring good outcomes. I’ll explain.

Every major expansion of government power and tyranny has been brought about by congressmen from both parties who have been Progressive. To counter this, Grover Cleveland vetoed his own parties’ bills 81 times. Calvin Coolidge, 50 times. Trump vetoed his own parties’ bills 0 times [6].

Trump killed Obamacare repeal [7]. He recommended and signed jailbreak [8], and massive inflationary spending increases [9]. He empowered public health tyranny [10] and created and pushed genetic therapies [11] that caused heart attacks [12], strokes [13], and reduced immune function [14]. Trump hasn’t accepted responsibility for his actions or exhibited the self-awareness that he would need to not risk causing further massive deprivations [15].

Voters had good options. Florida governor Ron DeSantis decreased spending as a proportion of GDP [9]. He blocked public health tyranny. He convened a grand jury to investigate the genetic therapies [16]. Independent candidate Robert Kennedy has demonstrated that he would try to address the covid tyrannies and prevent more.

So, early Trump-endorsers could have endorsed DeSantis. Since they were Republicans, they would not have endorsed Kennedy, but they did have the alternative option of simply not endorsing anyone. Instead, they endorsed Trump.
