I wanted to let emotions settle before engaging the topic. But on the whole, my opinions have not changed much since Tuesday night. I think a few things need to change in order for conservatives to have victories in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, let\u2019s just accept that it was bad. There\u2019s no point in sugarcoating it. There\u2019s no use having political analysis done by Pollyanna. We need to look this dragon in the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then what? What can we do? Specifically what can you and I do? I\u2019m sure right now in an undisclosed location somewhere the professional strategists are concocting some plan to turn the GOP around in 2028. More power to them. What does that have to do with us? What can you and I in the cheap seats actually do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We should do what we\u2019ve always done. As conservatives we conserve things. Maybe we can\u2019t conserve the whole nation just now. But we can conserve the thing in front of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can work to conserve our marriage, family, church, neighborhood, city, and county. This is where we have true agency. And if enough people did that they would have a real impact on the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t be so discouraged by the national results that you neglect your own backyard. Be sure to do the little things. Do the things you can actually do. Making a difference where you can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is actually the best way to make a difference on a bigger scale. And even if you don\u2019t get the results you want, you will know that you went down fighting; fighting to conserve our communities and way of life. Whatever happens next, let\u2019s stay in the fight and stay faithful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Joshua Stilwell is the editor of Warren&#8217;s Voice<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After devastating losses in the midterms, many Republicans are wondering what to do next.
