I'm a bit concerned about my home state. It is very red but attending some of the GOP meetings, seems a lack of fire.
Mine too. I'm in Ohio and the city I live in has a Republicans Club ("RC"). We went to a few meetings and we have a rep who was newly elected and rode Trump's coattails to get there. No sooner than he was seated, did he vote to impeach Trump. Everyone was pissed but the "president" of our city RC was like, "well, we're not gonna censure him, it was a mistake but we're gonna let him do his thing." I'm like, really? Well then he's listed in this article: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/05/19/the-target-list-35-house-republicans-voted-to-support-nancy-pelosi-and-the-democrats-2022-election-plan-heres-the-list-for-2022-removal/ for voting with Pelosi on election plans they wanted. So I wrote an email to this "president" of our RC and said, what the hell? This is embarrassing! Again he makes excuses for the guy and I said "well if you keep dismissing his bad behavior, the behavior will continue." No balls on this guy at all. We were disgusted and have no plans to attend another RC meeting. We're in a blue county of a red state.
I've looked into the Precinct Strategy, which I think is a great idea. But for me, my PC is locked in quite tight. I'm not sure where he stands and whether we need to organize to remove him - but that is where I am stuck right now. I am new to the area and don't know anyone so trying to build a core group of like minded is my current focus.
What I do see as problematic with the GOP structure is that they are not really trying to engage the grass roots. There is no incentive for them to do so as they represent competition to the existing PCs. What they seem to want is people to just send money and show up to vote for the candidates they prop up.
All that has done is put forward tepid, 'don't rock the boat' candidates and we cannot afford that anymore. Right now there is tremendous grass roots energy and that should be tapped into not ignored.
Those are my sentiments exactly. Being complacent is how we got to where we are now.
