Ronald Reagan famously warned us that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” For many, this may have sounded like hyperbole, but in 2024 we find ourselves at a crossroads where that sentiment couldn’t be more relevant. This time, freedom isn’t just one generation away—it’s one election away.
Make no mistake about it, the principles that have defined our nation for over two centuries—limited government, individual liberties, and free-market capitalism—are under siege. But now, the radical left is so emboldened that they no longer even try to hide their intentions; they openly advocate for policies that would fundamentally alter the fabric of our republic. They seek to expand government power, restrict free speech, erode our Second Amendment rights, and impose a socialist economic model that would devastate the American Dream and make freedom a thing of the past.
This election is not just another political contest. If Kamala Harris wins, the America we know and love may cease to exist. Our rights, once taken for granted, could be stripped away. And the freedoms that so many have fought for and died to protect could be lost forever.
We’ve seen what Democrats do when they control the House, Senate, and White House—they push for radical changes that could reshape this nation and lock in their power. They’ve relied on the courts to block conservative policies and advance their agenda, and once Biden took office, they wasted no time trying to tip the balance of the Supreme Court by expanding it—what we know as court-packing. Though Biden was coy about this before 2020, he eventually set up a commission to explore the idea. The commission said no, but Biden hasn’t given up, and you can bet Harris will pick up where he left off.
And don’t forget the Democrats’ push to add states to the Union. They passed a bill to do just that two years ago, backed by Biden, and Harris will certainly try to finish the job if given the chance. They’re also eyeing Puerto Rico as the 52nd state. If D.C and Puerto Rico became states, it would give the Democrats four more senators and several more representatives. It would certainly put a Senate majority out of reach for the GOP for a long time, if not completely.
