Republican Remodel

The Kremlin is paying for Conservative media in America. This isn’t a conspiracy theory.

Two Russian state media employees have paid $10 million to Tenet Media, the network of Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, Taylor Hansen and Matt Christiansen.

With a free and open internet, other countries can pay to attempt to influence our citizens to vote in a way that benefits those countries. This isn’t a tough concept to grasp! It’s relatively new, because the internet is relatively new, but it’s easy to understand. Because this happens, our Department of Justice defends against it. Simple, simple.

The “Russia hoax” is not a hoax. You can say it is until you’re red in the face, and you can say the Department of Justice is “weaponized,” but that’s all you can say. Just say that you don’t believe in law when Democrats are in charge. Say it! Say that Donald Trump has convinced you of how “evil” Democrats are, and how they will “destroy” your life and country. Trump Derangement Syndrome? Look inward, guys. The Trump narrative is chaos and panic.

Dear Republicans,

Calm down.

The world is not caving in on you. In the famous words of another Chicoan:

Relax.

Law exists. Honor exists. Morality exists. Scientists exist. PhDs exist. Experts exist. Kindness exists. Happiness exists. They all exist! Join the club of composed and wise ambition. Read some good books. Rewatch some classic films. Write down your thoughts. Paint. Get into puzzles. Meditate. You can’t live in a cloud of craze and collapse. We can’t deal with this! It’s so weird, dude.

I’ve been to two city council meetings recently, and you want to know what my biggest takeaway is? The Council is 6–1 Conservative, but I hardly see partisanship. It exists, of course, but it’s not at the forefront. It’s not palpable. Instead I see seven serious adults who are doing what they think is best. They are calm. They are composed. They are researched and thoughtful. That doesn’t mean some anger doesn’t arise, or dumb things aren’t said, or that failure and a lack of accomplishment does not occur. This Conservative Council’s true value is not in their talent, but in their nature. Their nature is where they prove to be model citizens.

Good God do Republicans need a remodel.
