'Vulnerable now!' Ex-GOP insider issues passionate battlecry in fight to save America

A Republican strategist penned a gushing demand for Americans to stand up now and halt a ‘moral disaster of the highest magnitude” that he said was being ushered in by Donald Trump.

On his Substack, Steve Schmidt, who worked on the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush and John McCain, warned that the need to protect their belongings had many Republicans throwing values out of the window.

And he wrote Americans of all political stripes had to unite in reaction.

“They are paralyzed by it,” he wrote about the effect of Trump’s control on America’s elites.

“And terrified of losing things and stuff — trinkets and baubles, properties and possessions — they can’t take to heaven at the cost of something Thomas Paine said could only be priced in celestial terms: freedom.”

He added, “The American Republic is being attacked from within. The invaders are us — a faction of the American people, led by an imbecile, and guided by a ferocious certitude that power makes right.”

Among the crises Schmidt sees are Trump’s belief that the judiciary is subservient to him, a political media that’s not holding him accountable and an administration that includes figures who he said backed an attempted insurrection on Jan. 6, 2020.

“It is a great flood that has spilled over the levees,” he said.

He went on, “Due process is under attack.The First Amendment is under attack. Government officials who work with us are flush with power and rage.

“... Everywhere, the pillars of something sublime are crumbling. They are cracking, but not shattering.”

To save them from being decimated, he wrote, the opposition must come up with a plan now.

“They will hold for a time, but the time to end this madness will not last forever,” he wrote.

“Trump is vulnerable now! Tesla is vulnerable now. The test for the moment is simple.

“Who cares more about their country than their ambition? Who can speak up? Who will speak up?”

He concluded, “The next election is not between Chuck Schumer and Trump. It is between the American people and his sycophants, apologists and enablers, which includes every Schumercrat.

"Better is ahead, but first there is a fight to be had.”
