by Axios | 8.25.19

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Il.) announced on ABC's \"This Week\" that he is launching a primary challenge to President Trump in 2020.

The big picture: Walsh laid the groundwork for a run at the presidency in a NY Times op-ed last week in which he stated the case for a contender from the right to challenge Trump. In the op-ed, Walsh said he gave Trump \"a fair hearing\" after voting for him in 2016, but he realized soon after he became president that he couldn’t support him.

For Decades- the world has been dominated by a process called Globalization- the securitization of the worlds political and economic systems- that hollows out and erodes a counties traditions, customs, and religions- all the while conditioning populations to rely on the expertise of a tiny class of technocrats for every aspect of their social and Economic lives. Globalization/The Left/DNC aim to Fool/Scare and Threaten Americans by means of 24/7 MSM/Media Matters/Groups such as Soros Open Society Foundation/ANTIFA/BLM and Indoctrination-Grade Threats on College Campuses and School Districts to force this new cultural concept on all Americans. The Left represents Total Control/Fascism of American lives and culture. This is abundantly clear with DNC actions on Bills/Laws at the state level and Congress. 1A and 2A are under attack- should this fall- the remainder is a cake walk for a Fascist/Globalist DNC Government. DNC supporters speak of returning to Honor and Honestly- and have no concept they have been Fooled by false heavenly narratives of Globalization- which will ultimately ENSLAVE them- and all Americans. When they willing give up their Individual rights for the FALSE notions of the Greater good and Fairness for All- and then realize they have become powerless. The greater good is Always Individual Powers/rights, Individual Choice and Individual culture. The Current Democratic’s want to take this away from you- and you’ll never get it back. Go to bed at night knowing the DNC wants Total Control of your Life, Speech, Thinking and Checking Account. They will stop at nothing to take that from you. The question remains- How did we get here??","twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":"","slug":"kag-2020","issue_count":11,"is_following":null,"influence_score":1530,"influence_level":30,"follower_count":59,"following_count":59,"position_count":102,"id":"9XKgrVB7","partner_id":null},{"name":"Truthdetector","vote_count":103,"photos":{"large":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/m68w5OyL/large_m68w5oyl-1562903094.jpg","small":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/m68w5OyL/small_m68w5oyl-1562903094.jpg","tiny":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/m68w5OyL/tiny_m68w5oyl-1562903094.jpg"},"links":{"following":"/api/users/m68w5OyL/following","followers":"/api/users/m68w5OyL/followers"},"about_me":null,"twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":"truthdetector","issue_count":42,"is_following":null,"influence_score":420,"influence_level":20,"follower_count":13,"following_count":13,"position_count":19,"id":"m68w5OyL","partner_id":null}],"article_comment":{"flagged":false,"id":1009060,"body":"He’s literally running not to win, but to stop Trump from winning.
