There is nothing in politics more vulnerable than a confident Republican base. Time and again we’ve seen the GOP with what they perceived to be leads going into an election, only to be shocked by the results. On October 20, 2012, Mitt Romney was ahead of Barack Obama by 6 points in the polls. That changed very, very quickly.
Instead of bragging about the coming “red wave,” Republicans should be acting like they’re on the verge of massive defeat. Some will argue that confidence is important in driving fundraising and voter turnout, and in most years I would agree. But we are faced with a massively emotional voting population right now who are feeling the economic heat more than most have felt in their lifetimes. That means that whoever they blame for their problems will be who they vote against. Conventional wisdom says they’ll blame Democrats since they’re in control of the House, Senate, and White House.
Throw conventional wisdom out the door. Here are three reasons why:
Yes, the polls lie
Anyone who’s read my work over the past few years knows I am not a fan of polling. I believe polls are used more to manipulate sentiment than to report on it. Currently, the polls are showing Democrats making up some of the ground they lost in recent months.
Considering I said the polls lie, why would I use this as an example of why we need to be concerned? Because reality today may not reflect what they’re saying, but clearly that’s the direction they want people to think they’re going. We don’t have to trust polls to appreciate the manipulation they’re currently being used for to promote their chosen narrative.
Never underestimate gaslighting and propaganda
Gaslighting works on voters. Propaganda is powerful in shaping voter sentiment. Add in a third component — low-information voter ignorance — and it’s easy to see that we may not be in as good of a position as many think we are.
Corporate media and Big Tech are extremely powerful. They shape the mindsets and even the worldviews of millions of Americans. One can argue that the only reason the Democrat Party hasn’t imploded from their massive failures in recent years is because corporate media and Big Tech have propped them up. The same can hold true come Election Day.

They will cheat
The 2020 election was stolen. As of today, nobody has been held accountable and only a handful of measures have been put in place to prevent the same type of theft from happening this year.
If we are to have our wins recorded by a small margin, we will have to win by a large margin. They will already have a certain percentage point advantage over many Republican candidates before a single legitimate vote is cast. This, perhaps more than the previous two reasons to get fired up, is what could make the difference between winning and losing.
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
