While most conservatives are already sweating about the 2026 midterm elections, two prominent voices are sounding an alarm that should make every patriot sit up and pay attention: Stop obsessing over elections you'll probably lose and start building an impenetrable conservative fortress RIGHT NOW.
BlazeTV hosts Steve Deace and Daniel Horowitz dropped a truth bomb that the GOP establishment doesn't want to hear – Democrats will likely reclaim significant ground in the midterms, and Republicans are wasting precious months they could be using to cement Trump's America First agenda permanently into law.
"We're watching Republicans make the same mistake they always make," the hosts argued. "They're already pivoting to campaign mode when they should be in governance overdrive."
The Clock is Ticking
Think about it, Patriots – Trump and the Republican majority have roughly 22 months to fundamentally restructure the federal government before facing what historically happens to every president's party in midterm elections. That's 22 months to dismantle the Deep State, secure our borders permanently, and gut the administrative state that's been strangling America for decades.
Instead of hand-wringing about Nancy Pelosi potentially wielding the Speaker's gavel again, Deace and Horowitz argue conservatives should be demanding their representatives work around the clock to pass reforms so bulletproof that even a Democrat House couldn't undo them.
"Every day spent worrying about 2026 is a day not spent making irreversible changes that will benefit Americans for generations," the hosts emphasized.
This isn't defeatism – it's cold, hard political reality. The American people historically punish the party in power during midterms, and Democrats are already salivating at the thought of kneecapping Trump's final two years.
Fortress Mentality Needed Now
So what does this "fortress" approach look like? Think massive deportation infrastructure that can't be dismantled, permanent budget cuts to weaponized agencies, constitutional amendments, and judicial appointments that will outlast any Democrat resurgence.
The question every conservative should be asking their representatives: Are you building for permanence, or are you already campaigning for 2026? Because if it's the latter, we're wasting the most crucial window Trump may ever have.
