(Natural News)—The 2024 presidential election drastically altered the political landscape, with the prospect of a long-term realignment that favors revolutionary reforms from the Republican Party. The triumph of Donald Trump, combined with Republicans regaining the Senate majority and maintaining control of the House, has sent shock-waves through the political establishment.
However, if real world results are not readily attained and Trump’s promises are not kept over the next four years, the Republican Party could unravel. If Trump’s team fails, there may be no believable, populous leader to advance an American First Agenda after 2028.
2024 exit polls showed a political preference shift, not seen in a century
The most striking sign of a political realignment came in the 2024 exit polls, which revealed that more voters identified as Republicans than Democrats—marking the first time this has happened in a presidential election since 1928. This unprecedented change signals a potential generational shift, one that could see the GOP in the political driver’s seat for decades to come.
However, the triumph is not without its perils. Trump and his administration have a daunting task ahead, with promises to deliver a thriving economy, lower grocery and gas prices, all while reigning in corporate and government corruption. To be successful into the future, Trump’s reform party will need to contain illegal immigration, and forge peaceful relationships with global powers like Russia and China, while finding resolve with Israel and other sovereign nations in the Middle East. Additionally, Trump and his reform party must withstand the Democratic Party’s growing push to dismantle constitutional protections, particularly the First Amendment, which has been under serious attack by the Left.
The Democratic Party, having seen a significant decline in support, finds itself in a precarious position of its own. With only 31% of Americans identifying as Democrats in this election, down from 37% in 2000, the party’s traditional stronghold is in jeopardy. This sharp decline, coupled with an extreme leftward shift, has created a political landscape where the old playbook no longer suffices. The vast majority of Americans don’t want transgenderism pushed on their children; they don’t want unlawful medical mandates jabbing them at every turn. They want safe communities, and a border that stops gangs, terrorists, drug and sex trafficking.
Kamala Harris’s failed campaign, which saw her relying on traditional Democratic base strategies, highlights this momentous shift. Although she rallied her base with 95% of Democrats voting for her, the Republican tilt of the electorate meant that those efforts were no longer enough to secure an electoral victory. Harris’s reliance on figures like former Rep. Liz Cheney to appeal to moderate Republicans highlighted the party’s struggle to adapt to the changing political climate. Americans ultimately rejected the weaponization of the justice system against Trump and the “J6ers.”
Trump and the Republican majority must deliver on several crucial fronts
The road ahead for Trump and the Republicans is challenging but not impossible. If successful, their administration could usher in an era of prolonged Republican dominance, reminiscent of the early 1980s when Ronald Reagan brought the two parties to parity. However, if the economy falters, illegal immigration spirals out of control, or foreign policy missteps occur, the GOP could see a rapid exodus of support. There are also conflicts of interest within the Republican reform party. Many liberal democrats are set to occupy top cabinet positions, and they desire greater regulations on corporations, from food companies, to energy, agriculture and pharmaceutical. With Trump at the helm, regulations are more likely to be cut, not enacted, so there will be a conflict within the new Republican Party.
As Congress reconvenes, the stakes could not be higher. The Republican-controlled Congress will need to walk the fine line between fulfilling their campaign promises and avoiding compromises and engaging in government overreach and corporate collusion that could alienate crucial voters. With the economy, immigration, and foreign policy at the forefront, the coming years will be crucial in determining whether this realignment is a permanent shift or a fleeting moment of Republican ascendancy.
In the coming months, the American public will be watching closely, eager to see whether the promises of the new political era will be delivered upon. As the dust settles on this historic election, the nation waits to see if the new political landscape will herald a new, stable era of Republican dominance or if this moment could be the beginning of a cycle of political upheaval.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
I’m sorry, but his plans for mass deportations will derail his administration and end the Republican Party. That could have been possible a few decades ago, but it is IMPOSSIBLE at this point in our country’s history. Donald promised one million deportations in his first term, and never got close to that figure. And now that conditions are FAR worse, there will be no mass deportations. There are easily a dozen logistical reasons his plan will not fly. If Trump even ATTEMPTS to close the border and enforce immigration law now, there will be riots in the streets, huge economic disruption, daily weeping media reports along with accusations of racism, riots in the streets, and total chaos. The GOP will never win another national election making the Democrats the permanent majority party. And America will be over.
No wonder they went out of favor; Democrats don’t represent most Americans. Their’s is a constituency of fringe groups, most radical. Some not even American. Criminals (including the current occupant of the Oval Office), baby aborters, sexual deviants of every nature, groomers, pedophiles, shoplifters, Soros devotees, climate charlatans and dupes, illegal aliens, race batters, globalists, a Ukrainian dictator, the censorship media, the uber wealthy, Muslim jihadists, Epstein/Diddy/Weinstein pals, academic frauds, Big Pharma donors, lawfare abusers, election fraudsters . . .
America rejected the Democrat party. The danger now are obstructionist RINOs.
