The American Mind’s Tell Me What You Really Think is a daily interview series featuring the host, Spencer Klavan, and The American Mind’s publisher and editors aimed at dissecting the issues facing us in America today and finding out what the cast really thinks.
In this installment of TMWYRT, Spencer meets with Matthew Peterson, founding editor of The American Mind, to find out what he really thinks about Rep. Jim Banks’ recent House GOP memo outlining steps the GOP must take to ensure it has a future.
Something I find interesting is this 30% of the GOP Faithful mentioned in this interview and the memo who are not on board with the GOP appealing to working class voters. I know a number of them and outside of a handful of libertarians who are completely against pulling the levers of government power for any reason, most seem to oppose the move on stylistic grounds (it requires mean tweets and they're totally against that) or their afraid it requires taking positions that will upset Democrats.
Don't know if there's any way to accommodate this bunch.
Banks hit the bullseye, and it's long past time for the GOP to realize its future hangs on the middle class. Without our work ethic, creativity, our craftsmen, service providers, small business owners and other entrepreneurs, we'd soon lose all spirit of entrepreneurship, liberty, and self-reliance. We worker bees are clearly being targeted by the Left. The Left is not "pushing their radical agenda"--THEY'RE OUT TO OBLITERATE US! We the People in the trenches can see it; we're being starved out economically and all the GOP can do is...what? [crickets] Trump gave us a voice, and better yet, outstanding, tangible RESULTS. The Lincoln Project's Pyrrhic victory against Trump has already cost America dearly, in lives and freedoms and life savings lost. Whether our nation can ever recover remains to be seen. Banks' plan is a good one, and no time like the present.
