They\u2019re talking about a complete memory-holing of <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/21\/losing-is-not-winning-no-matter-what-the-medias-favorite-conservatives-keep-saying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the GOP\u2019s shift<\/a> from country club to Costco and the abandonment of all the issues that brought hundreds of thousands of new voters into the fold.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, the Journal\u2019s editorial board <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/a-chance-for-immigration-compromise-congress-daca-dreamers-kyrsten-sinema-thom-tillis-11670368746\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">champions<\/a> the influx of destitute migrants for the sake of \u201cthe U.S. labor shortage\u201d (which has nothing to do with a lack of workers), even as millions of Republican voters say time and time again that they\u2019re not interested.<\/p>\n<p>This crowd, the Adam Kinzingers, the Liz Cheneys, and various other backbenchers of the party, aren\u2019t really insisting that we \u201cmove on.\u201d They\u2019re demanding that we go back. Back to when the ruling Republican agenda was corporate tax cuts, a devotion to Israel, and everything else a very, very distant third.<\/p>\n<p>Those Republicans are perfectly satisfied giving Democrats everything they want \u2014\u00a0welfare, both social and corporate \u2014 so long as they get to look strong by sending more money to military contractors in their districts (its own form of welfare).<\/p>\n<p>Tired of the permanent bureaucracy\u2019s hostility toward middle-income suburbanites? That\u2019s just the way it is. Mad that Big Tech is abusing its communication monopolies to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/07\/dear-corporations-and-advertisers-stop-falling-for-the-lefts-anti-hate-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cancel out<\/a> the voices of millions of people? Take it up with Twitter \u2014 if you can figure out how to contact someone.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t even get started on the messy \u201cculture wars\u201d that are so beneath them.<\/p>\n<p>What it means to \u201cmove on\u201d is to drop all efforts to control the southern border, revert to when the U.S. wrote blank checks to NATO while asking for nothing in return (<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/21\/3-corporate-media-shticks-about-ukraine-that-you-should-absolutely-ignore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">already there<\/a>!), and resume the GOP\u2019s favorite pastime of developing more ways to hack at government assistance for the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>Refusing to accept that as a path forward has nothing to do with being hung up on any one person. But each and every time one of those Republicans says we need to \u201cmove on,\u201d the people they need to do <em>anything<\/em> dig in their heels even harder over one person.
