Conservatives are not fighting progressives and moderate Republicans on an even playing field. Legacy media, the education system, Hollywood, and powerful labor unions are all helping leftists and "RINOs" control the narrative.

In this podcast, JD Rucker will offer strategies for conservatives to win on the policy and election fronts. The UniParty Swamp may have the assets, but we have reality on our side.
