Do you remember the Tea Party? The once-powerful loose group of patriots who were fed up with Barack Obama and the Democrats died a much earlier death than many realize. Most thought it was the election of Donald Trump that sent the bulk of conservatives back into their day-to-day lives, content that the mission had been accomplished. But as those of us who were paying attention the whole time realized, the Trump victory in 2016 was just an excuse for accepting the death of a movement that had been a shell of itself for a couple of years.
Yesterday’s loss by Herschel Walker in Georgia marked the electoral culmination of the plans of the Uniparty Swamp to strike down the ideological successor to the Tea Party: The America First movement. While this movement has many names, most notably “MAGA Republicans,” it was no less influential than the Tea Party. The difference is that the America First movement lacked leadership while the Tea Party had too much leadership. The America First movement has lacked direction while the Tea Party went in a dozen different directions at once.
Unfortunately, the America First movement is on life support before it really had time to shine. In the short term, that’s horrible news for patriots who are sick of the Uniparty Swamp. But where this goes in the long term will be determined by what happens now in the aftermath of the midterm elections. Will patriots accept that the Republican Establishment has quelled the uprising of people who actually love their country, or will we double and triple our efforts to truly take back our nation?
I’m choosing the latter. If you do as well, the question then becomes how? On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I’ll explore what went wrong in 2022, what challenges we face in rebuilding the movement, and how to overcome them.
Recognize the Enemies
We cannot fight an enemy if we do not recognize exactly who they are. It’s easy to say that the massive, widespread voter fraud as well as legal but dirty tactics used to sway elections are all the fault of Democrats, but this is inaccurate. It’s the Uniparty Swamp that’s truly behind the theft of the “red tsunami” in 2022 and the presidential election in 2020. Mitch McConnell was just as responsible (in fact, probably more so) for Republicans losing elections as Chuck Schumer.
The RINOs would rather the party lose than win with America First patriots. They despise Donald Trump, but more importantly they despise those of us who supported him. This is why they managed to lose a seat in the Senate despite the state of the nation being more abysmal than it has been in modern history. The party in charge of the House, Senate, and White House does NOT get rewarded with more seats under normal circumstances, but the Uniparty Swamp made it happen. The GOP may have won a razor-thin majority in the House, but that’s just because it’s too challenging for them to subvert so many elections across the country. The Uniparty Swamp is okay with a House led by Kevin McCarthy since he’s one of them.
Stop Donating to PACs
Did you know that whatever the various Republican super PACs say in their letters, robocalls, and emails, it’s almost always a lie? They latch onto whatever will get you to donate to them, but the money always ends up being used for something different. In fact, pennies on the dollar that were donated to bring about the “red tsunami” actually went to helping candidates win elections.
Unfortunately, that’s bad enough but it’s even worse than that. Since the biggest conservative PACs are operated by RINOs and GOP Establishment shills, the money was almost never directed to helping America First candidates like Blake Masters despite the fact that they ALL fundraised on helping the GOP win control of the Senate. More money was spent to help a Republican in Alaska beat another Republican in Alaska than on many of the seats that could have been flipped.
I’m not a fan of political donations in general, but if you feel compelled to help out then give directly to candidates’ campaigns that you truly support. Don’t let McConnell, Mike Pence, or any of the other charlatans take your money so they can repurpose it for their personal needs.
Recruit Candidates Early
I supported Kathy Barnette over Dr. Mehmet Oz during the Pennsylvania Republican primary for U.S. Senate. Unfortunately, I hadn’t even heard of Barnette until less than a month before the primary. I didn’t do my job of looking into all of the candidates. Until a late surge she was somewhere hovering around 6th place so I didn’t pay attention. That was my mistake.

It won’t happen again. We need to not only find the candidates who can earn our support early, but we must also get involved in recruiting great ones. I’d much rather find a patriotic business owner, firefighter, or truck drive who doesn’t WANT to be a politician but is WILLING to serve for the sake of the nation instead of someone who’s been working their way up the political ladder for most of their adult lives.
This is how the Justice Democrats found people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They literally started taking applications for races they wanted to win, then interviewed people until they found the right match. I’m not sure if that’s the exact strategy we’d want to employ, but it’s not far off.
Localize
This doesn’t just have to do with the America First movement. We should be striving to localize nearly every aspect of our lives with so many threats coming together around us. But the original plan of the Tea Party was to establish localized chapters. The America First movement should do something similar with one caveat. If we’re going to operate locally, we need to maintain that stance.
The Tea Party was killed by several groups of grifters who nationalized the movement. Some of the Tea Party groups were okay, but most were not. Unfortunately, being “okay” isn’t good enough for the long haul and being a grifter group is counterproductive. We cannot allow that to happen to the America First movement. If should form locally in areas across the country. It should stay local. It should operate locally. Otherwise, it will be corrupted.
Stop Voter Fraud
As long as the 2020 and 2022 elections are allowed to stand without investigations or repercussions, the Uniparty Swamp will continue to steal elections. This is why I will continue to highlight every piece of evidence we find, promote every action that strives to reveal the truth, and support any investigation that can lead to justice if not to correcting the results of the various stolen elections.
Do NOT fall for the current Uniparty Swamp narrative that the 2022 election was lost over Roe v. Wade. It’s a compelling argument on the surface, but here’s the thing. If Roe v. Wade stopped the red tsunami, we would have seen it reflected in the polls ahead of the election. Nobody woke up on election day and said, “I told the pollster last week I was voting Republican but I just now found out Roe v. Wade was overturned so I’m voting Democrat instead.”
Support America First Media
It’s no secret I’m against Fox News and other “right-leaning” corporate media outlets because they’re beholding the RINOs and therefore they’re beholden to the Uniparty Swamp. Unfortunately, we’ve seen many conservative publications who were at least pretending to be America First before the 2020 election reveal their true colors over the last two years. They’re embracing people like Mike Pence and Nikki Haley. They’re taking every opportunity they can to attack Donald Trump. They’re doing the bidding of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy.
We need to stop visiting such sites. We need to stop sharing them. I do a lot of work at The Liberty Daily and I’ve also launched a new, lite-version of conservative news aggregation at Discern Report. Hopefully, this is how I will contribute to pushing the America First movement forward.

We must rebuild the America First movement. If we don’t, the nation is lost. This is why I’m so adamant about pursuing this course immediately. One does not wait to face an existential threat until after they’re done watching Downton Abbey.
Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
America First is a Hill that I would happily die for.
America First is a Hill that I would happily Fight for.
Great read, just an awesome take on what we as proud Americans have to do to save this great country!
Some of us are waiting to see if anyone really cares. I have no children and am 57. If there is no fight left in America, let it burn, I say. If it’s what the majority wants, who am I to care?? Let them live with their choice. As one man, I am not about to make any difference, so f*ck it!! What do you say to that???
Agreed. I am 77 and also childless. As a patriot and veteran, I was all over the Tea Party movement, which turned out to be a complete waste of time and effort. It should be obvious by now that voting is never going to fix what ails America. Too damn many clueless sheeple rig the elections. If enough patriots ever get serious about reclaiming Liberty in the land of our fathers, give me a call. I’ll happily make muster one last time. Otherwise, the brainwashed snowflakes can have this place for their Marxist utopia; I’m near done with it anyway. 😠 ◄Dave►
Who exactly, decides where the money collected from Winred goes? Today in a post mortem after Walker’s loss on the Charlie Hurt Show, Charlie and Ric Grennell were discussing the situation. Rightfully so, Charlie was upset about the number who didn’t vote in GA..He received messages from misguided followers who said they would never vote because.elections are so corrupt. In other words. they are quitters and I am so glad that our forefathers showed more grit than that. One difference between Dems and R’s is that Dems seem to have more patience. The Dems have slowly and steadily been working towards their goals for 100+ years, so those on our side who give up so easily are disappointing.
But, one thing Grenell said is that the Dems have more money than we do, that they donate to Act Blue but Republicans do not donate to WinRed. Well, I have been told that and what we have observed is that that money is distributed by the RNC, Mitch, McCarthy, etc. We saw that this cycle when McCarthy spent money on RINO candidates and against America First candidates. So why is Grenell wanting us to donate to WinRed?
I decided to check before posting this and now think WinRed is kind of like a GoFundMe account or PAC and they stated that the donor decides who the donation goes to minus a 3.94% processing fee, soooo https://donors.winred.com/en/articles/3773571-where-does-my-donation-go
Good article. Agree completely that the GOP would rather lose than support a populist candidate. It’s demoralizing.
J.D. This article is SPOT ON! As we know, the tea party was infiltrated by swamp creatures within months of its beginning. Several of them were even caught on cameras and “hot mics” saying things that were basically against individual liberty and downright hateful towards anyone who supported the man who started the whole thing; Ron Paul. (Mr. Constitution) My 30+ years of research specifically pertaining to government crime shows that the entire public domain (federal, state and local governments) has become a pyramid of domination minded constitutional enemies who almost work in unison to act out their brainwashed fantasies of a global top down control system that will rule over the lives of all people. The government of the people / by the people / for the people has been severely damaged by power hungry sellouts who were taught to collectively hate the representative republic that works for the moral, law abiding population. At this time, I personally see no way to solve this problem peacefully. This is because the system is completely broken and stacked with misguided and very arrogant operatives. It’s so far gone at this point in fact, that if we don’t start seeing some true constitutional heroes very soon, this beautiful land of the free will become a wasteland full of gulags and mass graves as it does in EVERY top down government.
Agree completely with comments in this thread—you folks are mighty strong to put it out there. In my own case, my Vietnam experience showed me that politicians were fully bought, and fully evil—enough to sacrifice American lives to benefit their donor base, and keep them in power.
Now (2022) I believe that so much more water has gone under that bridge, that the only viable solution is a re-start. My hope is that we can re-start without crashing this thing first. But I’m aware that hope is not a strategy, and that re-starting this republic will hinge on having a true, wise leader emerge to show us the light at the end of our tunnel, and guide us on that path. There were a few minutes when Trump appeared to possibly be that leader, but his lack of courage and judgment, coupled with his fragile ego, shot down that hope.
As Dave said, I’ll happily make muster one last time, and I’ll die on this hill, if that’s necessary to maintain this incredible republic, with its one-of-a-kind Bill of Rights.
