When State House Republicans Vote Like Democrats, It’s Time For A Revolution

Picture this: Republicans have complete control of both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. They can pass any conservative policy they want without fear of a presidential veto. But what if some Republican lawmakers refused to enact these policies? What if they teamed up with the Democratic leadership to pass liberal bills that Biden would sign into law? Sounds impossible, right? Well, this horror show scenario is happening at the state level.

Take Wyoming, for example. Republicans have supermajority control of the House, 57-5, against the Democrats. But when you look at the actual voting records, those with liberal voting records number 34, those with conservative records number 25, and only three members fall into the ‘moderate’ category. So conservative priorities like school choice, banning transgender surgeries for minors, and getting porn out of the classroom didn’t pass this year. Democrats are basically in charge of a state Trump won with 70% of the vote in 2020.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing is common in a lot of red states. The most liberal Republicans holding office in the 50 state legislatures was Hawaii. Not a surprise, but the state with the second most liberal Republicans was deep-red South Carolina. Just a few weeks ago, the South Carolina legislature passed a progressive “hate crimes” bill as a gift to their woke corporate masters who want to pump up their ESG scores.

So how is it possible that liberals and moderates are in control of deep red states? There are three reasons. First, most political media attention is focused on Washington. Second, most Republican voters don’t even know who their state rep or their state senator is. And third, the “inmates” form an Iron Triangle consisting of the executive branch, the woke bureaucracies, and the lobbyists. Together, they constitute the Establishment, and with their lawyers, advisers, PR experts, and staffers, they operate 365 days out of the year to protect and expand their plunder against taxpayers.

Conservative state lawmakers are part-time. For most of the year, they are thinking about their full-time jobs and their families. But when they are working in the state capitol, they have little to no staff, are paid very little, and have few people to help them properly legislate. Even an objective observer can clearly see that the system is intentionally rigged against conservatives. And since there’s no media attention, deception thrives in the dark.

Thankfully, we’re starting to see signs of change. County GOP committees are censuring or voting “no confidence” in their liberal Republican state legislatures in South Carolina, Idaho, and elsewhere. Republicans are also electing strong conservatives to be state GOP chairmen. And finally, conservative lawmakers are organizing state freedom caucuses so that our values are finally being pushed forward in state capitols. These freedom caucuses are also shining a spotlight on the differences between themselves and their liberal Republican colleagues. Exposing the RINOs’ hypocrisy is getting noticed by voters who are sick and tired of “go along to get along” Republicans.

You say you want a revolution? One is finally coming to a state capitol near you. Don’t let this opportunity go to waste.
