Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Frage, who is preparing for a speaking tour of the United States, wrote to the British Express on Monday, May 3, about his “American comeback” tour in the United States. He said the speech sends two important messages to conservatives in the United States: Trump is still here and will win, and don’t underestimate the grassroots movement.
He wrote in his letter that nearly six months after the 2020 presidential election, U.S. conservatives remain demoralized as they face four years of extreme tax hikes. Moreover, conservatives are unhappy with the new U.S. administration’s environmental and energy policies, not to mention that in just 100 days the leftist administration is already warning about filling the U.S. Supreme Court, increasing the number of Senate seats in Democrat-controlled states, and even proposing to abolish the Electoral College system in U.S. elections.
American conservatives see these actions by the left as an assault on the U.S. Constitution and are frustrated that the success of Trump administration policies over the past four years does not seem to be helping the situation.
Not to mention that there are many American conservatives who to this day find it hard to believe how Trump could lose the 2020 election when he won 74,222,958 votes. They think it is unbelievable, so they still accuse the United States of fraud in the 2020 election and feel powerless to do anything about the current situation in the United States.
Farage said he will spend the next six weeks in the U.S. on a tour called “America Back” and rekindle the morale of American conservatives.
The first stop on my trip was to visit my old friend Trump, who seemed very healthy and well. He is seriously considering whether to run again. No one can encourage and inspire conservatives as much as Trump, and one thing is certain in American politics, and that is that Trump is still around, and he could still win.”
Farage then said that Trump’s re-election would also be good news for Britain. He wrote, “Trump’s admiration for our Queen and our country is unmatched. He will remain an amazing ally for Britain.”
Farage also described the invitation to speak as an invitation from Freedom Works, a grassroots organization in the United States. The organization’s mission is to promote lower taxes, smaller government and a freer state system. Farage wrote, “Their initiative is good news to me in the age of the CCP virus.”
Farage then said that grassroots movements may not shine in politics, but he could use his 25 years of experience leading and forming the UK Independence Party and the Brexit Party to say responsibly, “Grassroots movements are the most important.” He writes, “In fact, grassroots campaigns may boost a candidate’s support by more than 20 percent by door-knocking and canvassing.”
He reiterated, “America’s conservative movement will be able to win their country back by bringing hope to the American people. We need to win back the election, and hearts and minds and ideas.”
He then used the example of Brexit, which he pushed for, as an example of the importance of grassroots movements.
The Brexit cause was in the doldrums for a long time in the U.K. after the 2016 referendum in which the British people demanded that the U.K. leave the European Union. As you now know, the establishment has spent years trying to overturn the democratic will of the British people,” he wrote. And for a long time they seemed to have succeeded.”
But he formed the Brexit party in 2019, and it took only six weeks of campaigning in the EU for the Brexit party to win the EU election. Johnson was later elected leader of the Conservative Party, and as a result of the British election, Britain’s withdrawal from the EU became a foregone conclusion. He wrote, “We then had the confidence that the grassroots could fight back and could win back.”
Farage thus sees an opportunity for conservatives to win back America, no matter how disappointing the new administration and the left in the U.S. may be. “And just as the message I delivered to pro-Brexiters at the time in 2016 – that the grassroots movement cannot be ignored – I hope that message will encourage conservatives in America to win again.”
