Given the last few years, to say nothing of the last few decades, it is reasonable for those who lean more towards the conservative side of being a Republican to feel that promises are always made by the GOP but nearly never kept. This does not engender trust by the base.

Likewise, every election is the most important ever and if you do not vote Republican you are assisting in electing Democrats and it will be the end of life as we know it! At a certain point, weariness over such claims is natural. That is one of the lessons of Peter and the Wolf.

The other lesson of Peter and the Wolf, the one that is usually brushed away, is that the wolf always comes. Peter was sent to watch for the wolf for a reason. And right now, given the Democrats' public statements as to their goals, it is fair to say the wolf is at the door.

As of now, the Democrats control the House, where money is appropriated, and likely will hold the Presidency, which controls the administrative branch (to the extent it can be controlled and that is a different rant) and the judiciary. The Senate is the only firewall left.

As the past few years (and decades) have demonstrated, once legislation is passed or an executive order is issued, it is nearly impossible to repeal it, so long as it was passed or issued by a Democrat. It is the harsh truth that the best the Republicans can do is hold the line.

Hopefully, the Republicans will be able to take back Congress in 2022 and the Presidency in 2024. The goal at this time is to limit the amount of damage that the Democrats can do between now and then. Would it were not so, but it is. That is reality.

Since that is the case, it is imperative that the Republicans hold the Senate if only to slow the flood that is coming. Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats are able to whip their caucus and given unitary control, the Democrats will pass matters that will be impossible to repeal

It is true that votes are earned and not owed. Those who say that the Republicans have not earned their votes have legitimate concerns. Unfortunately, those concerns must be secondary, at this moment, to making sure there is some kind of brake on the Democrats' plans.

This is pure strategic voting and those who say that I am Peter and there is no wolf because we've heard this for decades have a fair point. However, I believe that this time the wolf is here and it is time to take care of the wolf. And then? Then it is time for Peter to learn.

(here's some adorable doglets for listening to my TedRant)

Since I have been highly critical of the manner in which those on the Right are trying to get those in GA to vote for the Republican senators, I feel it is only fair that I set out how I would go about it rather than simply sniping from the sidelines. So here we go.
