The Bloody Midterms of ‘26 (repost from original on People’s Pundit Locals)

This mid term is going to be painful but a lesson MUST be taught. If I were an Ohioan I would vote blue for governor. I’ll explain the logic and position for those who think it’s crazy.

We have to enforce our politics and position and make it clear that the GOP position is untenable. The candidates they put forward and push through primaries against the base are no longer winnable. They give us results and who we want or they get nothing. The electability argument that the RINO neocons have always used is now on the other foot. Vivek can win the primary in Ohio but Putsch voters will not vote for him in the general and there are more people that did not vote in the primary who will not show up for him in the general. They need US to win and we are the spoke in their wheel. Sorry but that candidate isn’t America First he’s not electable. We can demonstrate that without us they will simply get stomped. It doesn’t matter how many donors and Jewish millionaires like Miriam Adelson support you. Additionally the donors they have only donate for access and once it becomes clear that they aren’t viable and they know they won’t get access because they won’t be in office many donors will dry up.

Votes are our only lever:

Americans have no lobby to support their interests. The voting groups that makeup a winning coalition, millennial and gen X men and middle and working class families, are also totally broke having been squeezed by inflation and affordability crisis. Grassroots really has no money to donate they are struggling to pay grocery and gas prices and make car payments. Owning a home is just something they joke about now. They don’t have the monetary juice to squeeze for campaigns to support what they would actually vote for. The ONLY thing they have to give or keep is their vote. This has been something I have talked about for awhile.

The GOP(e) has relied for so long on how the left will actively harm their bases interests and what they care about in order to argue that even though the GOP won’t help you and will even hurt you a little bit or a lot the other side would do worse.

So yes Democrats will break laws and violate your rights when in office and when we are in office we do nothing. Countdown to your next persecution and further degradation. Never any reversals only instantiation of leftist victories and changes. Think of Obamacare, lawfare, politically captured and weaponized agencies, anti-white persecution and DEI policies. The only victories the right has won that are meaningful or lasting haven’t come through legislative or executive action but Supreme Court decisions that reversed abortion, preserved gun rights, or slightly curtailed the administrative state. Everything executive has been ephemeral and can and will be immediately reversed with a Democrat president and the legislature is totally hostile to their voters and bases desires and platform.

Now things have reached such a point because of the fecklessness and controlled opposition of American Conservatism since the latter half of the 20th century that not actively warring and pushing their agenda IS actively harming Americans and the argument of the other side is even worse hits hardened hearts. It’s not good enough to be bad but not AS bad as the left. There’s not enough to differentiate GOP from leftists. All their posturing and speaking out is just theatre. It’s professional wrestling Kayfabe.

Legitimate Danger:

The danger ahead is that Democrats will structurally change the country and centralize their power and politically neuter Americans to the point they no longer have a peaceful means to change things politically via court packing, constitutional amendments, judicial tyranny, and amnesty for foreigners as well as reopening floodgates for millions more to come in. However all of that will happen regardless if there isn’t genuine opposition and leaders willing to fight fire with fire and wield power to accomplish the political agenda of America First voters.

GOP has long relied on control of party apparatus and ability to pick primary winners in this prisoners dilemma they setup with the left who they philosophically are more aligned with on issues America First platform cares about to force people they don’t represent to vote for them.

As such I will vote Democrat in a general over any GOP candidate like my own Senator Lankford in Oklahoma.

It’s purely a game theory power politics calculation based on logic. It’s fine for others to disagree but my position is a growing one and has to be wrestled with and the fact that it does is exactly the point of having it. If my group is big enough to ensure that you don’t get elected without us or to ensure you lose if you don’t keep faith or actively suborn my politics after getting elected then that is enough to change the dynamics.

It’s simple: We get what we want or you get NOTHING, come what may. If we have to burn it down we will. Act accordingly.

The Barnes Brief, Weekend of May 29, 2026

BRIEF

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Battle of Bunker Hill, by early American artist John Trumbull, a battle the British managed to lose while winning. By holding off the British as long as they did, the Americans seized the narrative and strategic victory. Legend grew of a young farmer turned Colonel of the Minute Men, promising to hold the Hill or periosh trying for at least one more night, with the famous phrase echoed: “Don’t Fire Boys Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes”, or at least legend would have it. I admit my fondness for the legend with its Sun Tsu style proverbial wisdom, but also for a more direct reason: Colonel Prescott was a great, great granddaddy of mine. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Don’t Fire Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes.” Colonel Prescott, according to legend.

The Barnes Brief: Thursday, May 28, 2026

I. THE INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day 

  • Another historic portrait of George Washington, evoking a time and place, as he prays in the snow by his horse in Valley Forge where fellow revolutionaries nearly starved or froze to death. More than a few fellow Barnes joined him there, including several direct ancestors. Amidst the difficulties of weather and war, Washington took the time to pray, a reminder of our own limitations and capabilities of courage to survive against the longest of odds. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • "The nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.” George Washington.

I. INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • A painting gifted down the generations to my mother shared Stuart’s famous portrait of George Washington, whose eyes I could swear moved with me across the room as a kid. One must behave when George Washington is watching you and, just as much, fell inspired to act when he watches over you. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  •  "I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington.
