The recent loss in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race stung, no doubt but the bigger picture tells a vastly different story. Far from being a sign of weakness, it was a wake-up call for targeted action in one battleground state, while the GOP racks up win after win elsewhere. As Dr. Steve Turley laid out, Republicans are winning the war, even if we lost a battle in Wisconsin. Here's why the conservative movement is still surging and why the Democrats should be worried.

1. 6 of 9 Special Elections: GOP Dominates Post-Trump Announcement

Since President Trump declared his candidacy on November 5, the GOP has won 6 out of 9 special elections nationwide. These weren’t minor races, they spanned congressional and state levels, reinforcing that the MAGA coalition is alive and thriving.

Turley calls it like it is: “We’re the Super Bowl champs. We just lost a scrimmage game.” That perspective matters: big picture, the Right is still ahead on the scoreboard.

2. Florida Is Now Deep Red – Massive Wins, Even with Low Turnout

In two special congressional elections, Republicans Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis won by double digits, even as turnout was down by 60% from the November general.

Democrats threw more than $10 million at these races and still lost badly. Florida, once the quintessential swing state, has become solidly Republican thanks to the post-COVID “leftugees” who fled blue-state lockdowns.

The message from Florida? Republicans are winning without needing high turnout—imagine what happens with it.

3. Wisconsin Loss Masks a Huge Conservative Victory: Voter ID Amendment PASSES

Yes, Brad Schimel lost the Supreme Court race but Wisconsin voters passed a constitutional amendment to require voter ID, and they passed it overwhelmingly: 60% support.

Even Elon Musk called it “the most important vote of the night.” Why? Because voter ID has long-term implications that go beyond any single race. Polls consistently show that 60–80% of voters across both parties support voter ID laws. And now, in Wisconsin, that’s locked into their constitution.

This is a foundational win. With voter ID secured, future elections in Wisconsin just got harder for Democrats to manipulate.

4. Understanding the Wisconsin Shift and What It Means

While Wisconsin has swung back and forth in presidential elections, off-year and state-level races have trended center-left. Why?

• Mass GOP voter exodus: Many conservatives left the state during COVID.

• No partisan early vote tracking: Unlike Florida, Wisconsin doesn’t report partisan ballot returns.

• Low GOP turnout: Rural conservatives didn’t show up.

• Dem + Independent alignment: Swing voters moved heavily left in this race.

Still, conservatives won on the core issue, voter ID, and that’s what will matter long-term. Plus, the 2024 presidential turnout will be a different game entirely, with Trump on the ballot.

5. Building the Machine: GOTV Must Be the Focus

Turley echoed what strategists like Rich Baris and Scott Presler have said for years: the GOP must build state-level ground games to turn out the new Republican base. Today’s GOP is the party of low-propensity voters, the same working-class folks Democrats used to rely on.

That means:

• Investing in ballot chasing where legal

• Building state GOP turnout machines

• Targeting independents with winning national issues (like voter ID, border security, inflation)

Until that infrastructure is in place, off-year elections like Wisconsin will remain vulnerable. But the momentum and coalition strength are clearly on the GOP’s side.

6. Grassroots Leaders Like Scott Presler Are Filling the Ground Game Gap

While some state GOP organizations still lag behind, conservative grassroots leaders are stepping up and doing the work. Scott Presler has become a household name for his relentless voter registration, door-knocking, and turnout efforts. But he’s not doing it alone. Cliff Maloney is mobilizing liberty-minded youth through Young Americans for Liberty, while Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point Action is building state-by-state infrastructure aimed at ballot harvesting where legal and getting out the vote. These grassroots patriots are filling the void left by weak GOP machines and they’re proving that the conservative movement doesn’t need permission from party elites to win.

7. The Blueprint for 2024 Is Already Working

Here’s what conservatives should take away:

• 6 of 9 special elections won

• Voter ID wins in a swing state

• Ballot security measures in general like voter ID are gaining traction

• Florida is locked in deep red

• Democrats wasting millions on failed races

• GOP coalition stronger than ever

• National issues like inflation, border security, and parental rights dominate the conversation

The Wisconsin loss was a setback but also a signal. A strong national agenda and a Trump-led ticket will bring conservatives back out in force. Add in a functional ground game, and the path to victory becomes clear.

Final Word: We’re Still the Champs

The Wisconsin court race was a reminder, not a defeat. With voter ID locked into law, 6 special election wins under our belt, and deep-red strongholds like Florida holding firm, the GOP has every reason to be confident.

This is the moment to regroup, organize, and push harder—not panic.

We’re still the champs. Let’s act like it.

The political establishment is stunned. The legacy media is scrambling. And the polling class? They’re quietly panicking.

In a development few thought possible, Donald J. Trump is not just surviving the political gauntlet of 2024 — he’s thriving. According to Rich Baris, the most accurate pollster of the last election cycle, Trump is experiencing a level of sustained approval and favorability that’s defying political precedent and sending shockwaves through both parties.

Trump’s Approval Defies the Odds

Despite relentless legal attacks, media smears, and a deeply polarized nation, Trump’s approval rating sits between +2 to +4 net positive, with a recent private poll landing at +3. At his peak, Baris notes, Trump soared to an astounding +18 during his "honeymoon phase" after announcing his return to the political arena.

“This is unprecedented,” said Baris. “For any Republican president (let alone a political outsider like Trump) to maintain this kind of sustained approval is almost unthinkable.”

A Favorability Flip That Has Democrats Rattled

Even more stunning is a historic inversion in Trump’s numbers. For the first time, Trump’s favorability now slightly exceeds his approval rating, a reversal of the long-standing dynamic where voters might approve of his job performance but express personal disdain.

“This tells us something seismic is happening,” explained Baris. “Not only are people acknowledging his effectiveness, they’re beginning to like him and that is a nightmare scenario for Democrats.”

The Reluctant Voter: Still Trump’s Trump Card

For years, Trump has wielded a rare political advantage: the ability to win over voters who don’t personally like him but vote for him anyway. Baris estimates 10–15% of Trump’s support comes from voters in this category — the so-called “reluctant voters.”

“They’ll tell you, ‘I can’t stand the tweets,’ or ‘I don’t like the way he talks,’” said Baris. “But then they say, ‘He was a damn good president.’ That pragmatic loyalty has always been his secret weapon.”

A Realignment in Real Time

Baris and Turley highlighted what appears to be an ongoing massive political realignment. Key demographic groups, once solidly Democratic, are breaking toward Trump in numbers that would’ve been unthinkable just a few cycles ago.

Among the shifts:

• Young men under 35, especially Gen Z males, are now among Trump’s most favorable age brackets.

• Black and Hispanic voters, particularly men, are showing consistent erosion in support for Democrats and a growing openness to Trump’s populist message.

• Working-class and non-white voters, disillusioned with Democratic leadership, are resonating more with Trump’s rhetoric of national strength, economic opportunity, and cultural tradition.

Trump’s alignment with figures like Elon Musk and his resonance in influencer and tech culture has also helped shift perceptions among younger voters, many of whom no longer look to Hollywood or legacy media for guidance.

GOP Struggles to Harness Trump’s Momentum

While Trump’s political engine is running full throttle, the GOP’s infrastructure is still sputtering. In Pennsylvania’s 36th district (which Trump carried by 15 points) Republicans lost a recent special election, a defeat Baris blames squarely on local party incompetence.

“There’s MAGA energy out there,” he said. “But the Republican Party isn’t always capable or even willing to harness it.”

He praised Florida and North Carolina as models of MAGA-oriented party governance, singling out Michael Whatley (newly elevated within the RNC) as someone who “gets it.”

Polling Establishment in Collapse

Baris also took a victory lap at the expense of legacy polling outfits like FiveThirtyEight, which has collapsed under new leadership. He slammed what he calls the “election mafia”, a club of pollsters who reward consensus over accuracy and penalize independent analysts like himself for breaking with the narrative.

“They gave me an R+7 lean just because I wasn’t off by seven points to the left like everyone else,” said Baris. “They punish you for being right if it goes against their ideology.”

Turnout Trends Turning Upside Down

In a dramatic shift, high voter turnout is no longer a guaranteed win for Democrats. In states like Wisconsin, red counties are showing turnout spikes, and it’s not clear Democrats can make up the difference.

“Normies are voting,” Baris quipped. “And normal people are Republicans now.”

He noted that low-propensity voters, once the core of Democrat victories, are increasingly outnumbered by consistent Trump-aligned voters who are turning out in bigger and bigger numbers.

Conclusion: The Realignment is Real

What we’re witnessing may be one of the most consequential political shifts in American history. Trump is attracting not just Republicans, but moderates, independents, young men, and minorities, the very groups Democrats long considered their firewall.

“This isn’t a statistical blip,” Baris insisted. “It’s a political realignment.”

And if it continues, the media’s long-held assumptions (about voter behavior, about demographics, about Donald Trump himself) are not just wrong. They’re obsolete.

Walt Disney’s 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs wasn’t just an animation milestone, it was a modern retelling of a timeless fairy tale with moral clarity and spiritual resonance. Based on the Grimm brothers' 1812 version (Sneewittchen), the story drew deeply from the Christian worldview that shaped Europe for centuries. Though softened for mass appeal, the 1937 film retained core values: innocence, sacrifice, love, and resurrection.

Fast forward to the recent 2025 remake, and we’re no longer just watching an updated fairytale; we're watching an ideological revision. The shift is dramatic: from a Christ-centered allegory of redemption to a secular manifesto preaching autonomy, class struggle, and collectivist ideals.

This is not accidental. It is part of a broader cultural movement to replace biblical truth with secular humanism, and to reshape the moral imagination of an entire generation.

The Original Tale: Rooted in Christian Symbolism

The Grimm version, and even Disney’s 1937 film, reflects a world where God, sin, death, and redemption still meant something.

Biblical Symbolism in Snow White:

• Snow White’s Appearance — Her skin “white as snow, lips red as blood, hair black as ebony” echoes Isaiah 1:18 KJV: “though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” Her image embodies purity, sacrifice, and death which are core gospel themes.

• The Three Deaths and Resurrection — Snow White "dies" three times: bodice, comb, and apple. This mirrors temptation, bondage, and spiritual death (Genesis 3:6; Romans 6:23 KJV), followed by resurrection, a shadow of Christ’s Passion.

• The Dwarfs as Monastic Figures — Seven laboring men, living apart from society in ordered community, caring for a "sacred" woman; they resemble monks or the early church caring for the body of Christ (Acts 2:42–47 KJV).

• The Evil Queen as Satanic Archetype — Driven by vanity and envy, she reflects Lucifer's fall: “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God…” (Isaiah 14:13 KJV). Her end is just and mirrors divine judgment.

• The Prince as Christ — He awakens Snow White with a kiss: life restored by love. “I am the resurrection, and the life…” (John 11:25 KJV). He represents not a mere romantic interest but a redeemer-king figure.

Enter the 2025 Remake: From Resurrection to Revolution

Instead of preserving these themes, the 2025 remake (based on cast interviews, production leaks, and previews) strips the story of its moral clarity and spiritual resonance. What remains is not a tale of virtue overcoming evil but one of class struggle, autonomy, and empowerment divorced from truth.

This remake is not a simple modernization—it’s a reprogramming.

The Woman at the Well vs. the New Snow White: A Tale of Two Messages

There’s no better biblical counterpoint to the 2025 Snow White than the woman at the well in John 4. She, like modern Snow White, lived outside the boundaries of traditional virtue. She was assertive, independent and empty. Jesus doesn’t applaud her autonomy. He confronts her sin and offers living water, eternal life through Him (John 4:14 KJV).

“Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst…”
— John 4:13–14 KJV

She doesn’t “find herself.” She meets the Messiah. She doesn’t overthrow oppressive systems. She abandons her jar (John 4:28 KJV) and tells others about Christ (John 4:29 KJV).

Today’s Snow White is being rewritten to preach a secular gospel: “You are enough. You define truth. You don’t need saving.” But the woman at the well shows us the real gospel: “You are not enough, but Christ is.”

Secular Humanism, Collectivism, and the Gospel of Self

The 2025 remake aligns with the rising tide of secular humanism, where man is god, morality is fluid, and salvation comes through political revolution or self-actualization. Instead of sin, we’re told we’re victims. Instead of redemption, we get redistribution. Instead of a Savior, we get a slogan.

This isn’t just misguided storytelling, it’s theological subversion.

As Dr. Jason Lisle teaches, when you reject the absolute authority of Scripture, you lose the foundation for truth itself. Ken Ham has shown how evolution and humanism displace God from the cultural conversation. Gary Habermas reminds us that the resurrection is not just a doctrine, it’s a worldview. And Lee Strobel has demonstrated that if you remove Christ from history, you remove hope from humanity.

The 2025 Snow White is a case study in all of this. It’s not just “woke.” It’s a moral and spiritual inversion.

What We Lose When We Trade the Prince for the Proletariat

This remake doesn’t just remove the Prince, it replaces him. With what? A vague message of empowerment, wealth sharing, anti-hierarchy, and collectivist virtue. It exchanges love for labor. It dethrones the Savior and enthrones the self.

But in doing so, it teaches children that there is no rescue. No grace. No sin to repent of, and no heaven to hope for. Just struggle, identity politics, and perpetual dissatisfaction.

It’s not Snow White. It’s a fable rewritten in the language of Marx.

In the end... We Don’t Need a New Snow White; We Need the Old Gospel

The 1937 Snow White still points upward: to beauty, to sacrifice, to love that triumphs over death. The 2025 remake turns inward, downward, and backward. What began as a tale of resurrection now ends in a revolution of self.

But we don’t need another story telling us to save ourselves. We need the truth that Christ alone saves.

Just like the woman at the well, our culture is thirsty. Disney offers them polluted water. Christ offers living water.

And like Snow White in her glass coffin, this generation lies poisoned and asleep and waiting for a Prince not of this world.
