6. I don't think they're ever going away.

This is where the party was always heading. They’ve been going for this for sixty years and more and they are not about to let the dream die. None of this goes away even if, and it’s still a big if, we beat them back again this November. They still have the courts, they still have the statehouses, they’re always going to challenge for congressional majorities, they’re entrenched everywhere in the government.

They refuse to die and they always come back worse. Nixon was supposed to be the end, what happened? We had one term after that followed by three massive landslide victories by people worse than he. W was supposed to be the end. What happened? Obama won, we had big majorities in both Houses and they came back worse only two years later and killed us. Now this asshole is here, is literally the worst President ever and openly tried to overthrow the motherfucking government and he’s still got a chance to finish the job. He’s right there and the election can go either way.

My point is that these people are never going away and every single subsequent election is going to be the most important election of our lifetime. Because all it’s gonna take is one slip, one snake slipping through the fence and they will finish the job. It was amateur hour last time, next time it won’t be.

If we win this election and get majorities in both houses, we absolutely must pass safeguards to prevent this sort of thing from ever happening again. We didn’t do it this time. We have to do it next time because eventually they’re going to win and they’re going install the system they want. They’re never going to reset, they’re never going to regain their sanity.

The Wolf is always at the door.

We have to win.
