Conservative columnist Victor Joecks is urging fellow conservatives not to flee Nevada following recent Democratic election victories, arguing that liberty cannot be preserved by abandoning the political battlegrounds where its future is being decided. He notes that while California's governance has driven millions to purple states like Nevada and red states like Texas, conservatives cannot give up on winnable states and must instead work to reclaim them.
Joecks outlines a strategy beginning with personal responsibility, writing that conservatives cannot believe government is the problem while depending wholly on elections to fix everything. He argues America's greatness stems from its Christian roots and calls for prayer, Bible reading, confession of sin, and church attendance as foundational steps.
The columnist also emphasizes family formation and homeownership as drivers of conservative values, citing the Institute for Family Studies' finding that "baby nudges" can boost fertility. He suggests praising couples with young children, encouraging them to have more, and helping financially responsible family members with down payments on homes.
On the political front, Joecks argues Republicans must embrace Nevada's legal universal mail ballots and ballot harvesting, building a vote-collection machine at venues like gun shops and churches. He identifies Hispanic voters as a key opportunity, urging conservatives to pay organizers to work continuously in Hispanic precincts that voted heavily for Donald Trump, rather than only appearing weeks before elections.
Finally, Joecks calls for grooming young political talent willing to aggressively use political power, including reforming government-funded institutions such as colleges that he says despise America, its history, and its values. He contends such institutions should not receive taxpayer funding.
