This 'ideas' election will decide the country's direction for a long time

Every election, the same voices loudly proclaim it the “most important
election of our lifetime.” They can’t all be the “most important,” but we
are heading into a unique election that will decide the direction of our
country for a long time through more than just candidates’ individual
policies.

It’s not as sexy as “most important,” but in a few days we’ll participate
in an “ideas” election in a way we haven’t for a while: Who do we want to
be as a country and where do we want to go?

Unlike so many presidential elections, this race will not be driven by
personality. America has had our share of those over the last 15 years.
Whether President Barack Obama or President Donald Trump, people were
signing up for the man far more than his actual ideas.

But the personalities of the candidates in this midterm election, some
good and some bad, are far less relevant than the direction the winners
will take us.

The theme is a “return to normal.” This is the first midterm election
since the COVID lockdowns changed the country’s trajectory. Our economy
was booming, kids consistently went to schools where parents didn’t have
to be on constant high alert for indoctrination, crime was manageable.
When our country went into lockdown, normal went out the window.

Americans are hungry for normalcy, and they’re not going to get it from
Democrats.

Many voted for President Joe Biden hoping for this return to normal. But
much of Biden’s presidency, and his Democratic Party’s direction, is a
rejection of all rationality and embrace of fringe figures and ideas.

Biden’s $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” has been a driving factor of
inflation that continues to climb upward. As American families are
hurting, instead of reversing course, Biden is trying to push through cash
handouts for his constituents in the form of student-loan forgiveness,
which would mean wealth redistribution from plumbers and electricians to
lawyers and doctors.

On schools, no one blocked access to in-person education more than Randi
Weingarten, American Federation of Teachers president, and the results
have been a full-on disaster. Yet she continues to be a top campaigner for
Democrats.

Over the weekend, she campaigned with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who
flat-out lied during last week’s televised debate with her opponent, Tudor
Dixon, that she closed schools for only three months. Weingarten is busing
around the country to campaign with Democrats like Gov. Tony Evers in
Wisconsin, US Senate candidate Tim Ryan in Ohio and gubernatorial
candidate Stacey Abrams in Georgia.

That someone who caused so much damage to children is still taking the
stage with Democrats shows the direction they want to continue in.

In the closing weeks before the midterms, meanwhile, Biden held a
roundtable with far-left site NowThis News. Among the people getting
access to the president, who rarely speaks to the media or gives
interviews, was transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, who asked whether
states should be allowed to deny “gender-affirming” care.

States only deny this “care,” which actually means prescribing hormones or
performing surgery to remove the breasts or genitals, to children. The
president answered that no one should have the right to stop this.

Democrats often describe arguments like this as “culture war.” But culture
is important, and this election will take a firm stance on whether our
culture is OK with children getting life-altering hormones or surgery to
try to change their gender.

And finally, crime. It has been a tough road to get Democrats to admit
crime is even an important issue. During the debate between Gov. Kathy
Hochul and Rep. Lee Zeldin, Hochul wondered why the crime issue is so
important to Zeldin.

We can’t go on like this anymore. We can’t start from debating whether
crime matters or whether it even exists. We need to move on and elect
people dedicated to fighting it. There are two distinct roads here, and we
have to choose one.

We’ve been in the upside-down, where lax crime policies, insane school
programs and so much more have been winning the day. A red wave will mean
Americans demand a different direction. It will mean we tried the leftist
ideas, declared them failures and want to try something else.

It will mean a return to something better, back to the normal we have
longed for and deserve.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
