Change Is Needed at the RNC — But Not with Joe Gruters

By Scott Shields – Contributing Writer – Capitol Times Media

The Republican National Committee is once again auditioning for the role of the man who

shot the messenger. In the wake of a demoralizing midterm cycle, RNC Co-Chair KC

Crosbie has stepped forward to challenge Chairman Joe Gruters for control of the

committee, and much of the party's professional consultant class is cheering her on. Their

argument is seductive in its simplicity: the midterms went badly, someone must pay, and

the chairman is the most convenient target in the building.

They are wrong about the target. And in being wrong, they are showing the electorate

exactly what the real problem has been all along.

The Wrong Diagnosis Change is needed.

No serious observer of the last election cycle disputes that. But the change that is needed is not a new nameplate on the chairman's door. The change that is needed is in a leadership class, donor, political, and spiritual, that has spent years advising President Trump to soften, dilute, and hedge the kind of plain-spoken truth-telling that Ronald Reagan delivered relentlessly for a decade, and that identified truths and lead the world away from World War III. He was given truths and acted appropriately against all odds and many GOP advisors at that time. Reagan was relentless. In many ways, President Trump has been relentless, but has lacked special advisors like Reagan had to offset those such as the past GOP who did not support Reagan, nor, now Trump and are positioning for their own control of the political party. The MAGA, MAHA and AMERICA FIRST in name only" wing of the party now wants to reposition itself for 2028 and quietly put distance between itself and Trump. In doing so, it is displaying the very failure that cost the party the midterms: an instinct to blame everyone except themselves. They have their own convenience and lifestyle ahead of the Principles of MAGA, MAHA and AMERICA FIRST.

Look in the Mirror

Here is what the critics of the MAGA, MAHA and AMERICA FIRST, movement refuse to say

out loud, and it is why their broader message keeps falling on deaf ears. I will add that even

many MAGA, MAHA and AMERICA FIRST politicians, podcasters, media, influencers donor

class and others, sacrificed their own principles by ignoring the truth of decades of the

Atheist Marxist pathogen and the infiltration, financially and mentally into Religious Non-

Marxist to become aligned with Atheist Marxist controls and expansion. Non-Marxist

Muslims and Non-Marxist Jews have tried peace but realize the financial and mental

influence of Atheist Marxist aligned leadership in the Middle East has been the cause of so

many deaths in the Middle East and continues to be the most powerful, unless America is

involved. And now that the American Democratic party is aligned at levels never before with

Atheist Marxist and Religious Marxist seem to go along with, they anticipate having war at

levels of Ukraine and Russia once America exits.

Many have awoken in the Middle East leadership but refuse to act against Atheist Marxist

alignment, so if Woke is a good thing, this is where it should be applied with the Non

Marxist Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindu’s, Atheist, Agnostics and others around the

world. The citizens of Atheist Marxist control and Religious controlled Marxist in Latin

America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, America all have firsthand accounts and are sadden

by Americas lack of courage to speak loudly, not against socialism or communism, but

loudly against the pathogen of Atheist Marxism and religious Marxist aligned, as Atheist

Marxist will always apply their finances and propaganda to divide spiritual people who have

a chemical passport to live in peace together who are Non-Marxist.

The common denominator of chaos, destruction and war for the last century is the funding

and propaganda by Atheist Marxist and spiritual people aligning with them. No one

disputes this. They can argue situational aspects and desires of humans but the root of the

problem in the world has been and is Atheist Marxism being categorized as a philosophy

instead of the religious denominational cult it is. It is well known and agreed that Atheism is

a religion and has different denominations such as Non-Marxist Atheist Science and Non

Marxist Humanist. But because of the dopamine and serotonin effect of similar they are the

easiest to indoctrinate to align with Atheist Marxist. Religious Non-Marxist fall prey to the

indoctrination because of Finances. Then the Godlessness of Atheist Marxism inside each

person’s thoughts becomes a slippery slide for the individual. Again fact, not theory or

opinion on this. Thoughts are biological. So the Atheist Marxist Pathogen cannot be denied

in its powerful controlling effect. This does not mean one cannot be an Atheist Marxist, it

just states the cause and effect it has in societal culture and global occurrences.

For generations, an aggressive strain of Atheist Marxist thought has been funding and

driving ideological capture, in universities, in media rooms, in corporate suites, and

eventually in politics itself. As the pathogen enters a society as fashionable "social" policy,

it hardens into socialism and then unchecked metastasizes into full-blown authoritarian

collectivism. There is, notably, a contradiction at the heart of the "Religious Marxist" label

its adherents like to hide behind: “The core principle of Marxism is Godlessness, so any

marriage between spirituality, faith and Marxism is a fraud performed on the one’s own

spiritual belief and practice.”

And yet the loudest voices in our institutions, believers and unbelievers alike, in journalism, academia, boardrooms, and political parties, have been unwilling to name this Atheist Marxism as the pathogen it is. There is nothing uniquely Republican about this cowardice. It is a failure of leadership across the Western World Christians, Latin American Catholics, India’s Hindus and Shieks and Middle East Muslims and Jews. The American electorate, realizes this more than the leadership wants to accept. That is not a Joe Gruters problem. That is a donor-class, political-class, and spiritual-class problem, and much of it may be uncomfortably close to President Trump, in the form of advisors who counseled him never to say what Reagan would have said loudly, clearly, and continuously.

Foreign Money and Domestic Silence

The uncomfortable truth extends past our borders. Authoritarian powers with nominally Marxist branding have spent decades exporting this ideological pathogen, through Belt and-Road leverage, through subsidized media narratives, through funding streams that find their way into Western advocacy groups, think tanks, and campaign finance in ways we are only beginning to trace. Think about this; The democratic leadership and administration argue, persuasively, they are the loudest "anti-war" movements in American politics, but have been remarkably selective, loud against conflicts that weaken Western interests, silent about conflicts that serve authoritarian ones. Funding the Ukraine war where massive casualties have occurred yet now, wanting to defund the Iran war where few casualties have occurred which will allow the Atheist Marxist to continue to fund chaos, division and war in the Middle East. The consistent thread is this: the same leadership class that refuses to name the pathogen of Atheist Marxist ideological enemies abroad, refuses to name them at home. And a party whose elites cannot name its opposition cannot possibly persuade the voters who live with the consequences.

Gruters Is the Wrong Fight

Chairman Gruters carries the President's endorsement, a proven fundraising record, and the operational loyalty of a committee that needs unity, not a circular firing squad, heading into the last stretch of this administration and the beginning of the 2028 cycle.

Tearing him down to satisfy the ambitions of a faction whose actual goal is to distance from President Trump would accomplish two things and only two things: it would embolden the Atheist Marxist and aligned Religious Marxist Democrats, (all of which are Fascist in actions), as well as signaling to the base that the RNC has learned nothing. The party does not need a new chairman. It needs its leaders especially those closest to the President to do the following they have thus far refused to do:

1. Name the enemy Atheist Marxist Religious Denomination for what it is, as

Reagan certainly would have, if he lived in these times, without apology and without

pausing to consult the donor list.

2. Stop running from the base. MAGA, MAHA and AMERICA FIRST voters built the

party's majorities. Trading them for a hypothetical coalition of disapproving

independents has been tried. It is called the midterm results.

The Real Question for January

When the RNC meets in Scottsdale in January, the vote will not really be between two people. It will be a referendum on whether the party's leadership class is finally willing to look in the mirror, or whether it will keep holding the mirror up to everyone else. If the party chooses introspection over scapegoating, it can build the fundraising, registration, and turnout machine that 2028 demands. If it chooses a ritual sacrifice of a loyal chairman to appease a faction that blames everyone but itself, it will have proven the electorate's suspicion correct: the problem was never at the bottom of the party. It was at the top. Keep the chairman. Change the leadership class. That is the change President Trump and The Republican Party need. As for my fellow Democrats, this is the WOKE that needs to occur.
