It is as paradoxical as it is real. The man widely blamed in establishment circles for losing an eminently winnable presidential election – and control of the Senate to boot – is the same man the party leadership must now depend upon more than ever.
If that was not clear before this past weekend, it certainly is now following the raucous reception which greeted a rejuvenated Donald Trump at the premier event of the conservative year, the 2021 CPAC convention. While questions had persisted since Election Day about whether grassroots activists would move on from the 45th president, the crowd treated Trump as a heroic figure who remains very much in their hearts and on their minds.
Nevertheless, you’ve doubtless heard the grumbles from mainstream Republicans stunned by the election and its aftermath who never understood or embraced the Trump movement – but were willing to bask in the power it conferred upon them. They are asking a contemporary iteration of an age-old rhetorical question usually posed by those more concerned with victory at any cost than effective policy: would you rather compromise and win, or hold firm to your beliefs and lose? Would you prefer to cling to your guns, religion and Trump – and kiss control of the White House and Congress goodbye for as far as the eye can see?
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
