The Republican State Leadership Committee just confirmed everything we’ve been warning about: Alaska is being hijacked from the inside — and the enemy isn’t just wearing blue. It’s wearing red.
According to the RSLC, Alaska is now a purple state.
Not because Democrats surged. Not because voters flipped. But because too many Republicans in the Legislature deliberately handed Democrats the keys — and too many others stood by and let them do it.
Let’s not sugarcoat this:
We’ve got the governor’s mansion. We’ve got a GOP lieutenant governor. We’ve got a fully Republican congressional delegation. And, on paper, majorities in both legislative chambers.
So why are Democrats calling the shots?
Because the establishment Uniparty has been quietly working to dilute conservative momentum. Enter: the Reagan Caucus.
Despite the patriotic name, this isn’t Reagan’s conservatism. It’s a polished operation with one mission: Undercut America First conservatives by forcing every race into the mushy middle.
Their playbook is simple:
- Stall endorsements
- Control the primary narrative
- Prop up establishment-friendly candidates who caucus with Democrats while pretending to be “reasonable Republicans”
They’ve openly declared themselves anti-MAGA.
That’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s in their own mission statement. They’ve made it crystal clear: They think Trump voters are the problem.
So ask yourself:
Why are the same people always telling you to “wait until after the primary” before endorsing anyone?
Why are they preaching “consensus” while publicly snubbing candidates with actual grassroots support?
Because timing is everything.
By freezing endorsements until after the primary, they keep control of the board.
While principled conservatives wait in good faith, the establishment kingmakers are cutting deals, forming coalitions, and flooding the ballot with just enough “tolerable RINOs” to fracture the vote under Alaska’s ranked-choice chaos.
This isn’t about unity. It’s about manipulation.
This isn’t just a governor’s race. It’s a full-spectrum takeover: Governor. Lt. Governor. State House. Senate. All of it.
What you’re watching is the slow-motion hijacking of the Alaska Republican Party, gift-wrapped as “moderation.”
And make no mistake: It’s not accidental. It’s a deliberate, coordinated strategy to morph Alaska from a bold, America First stronghold into a neutered, Uniparty-controlled purple state. Their weapon? Ranked-choice voting and narrative control.
That’s why they’re saying, “Wait until after the primary.”
That’s why they preach “neutrality” while rigging the game behind the curtain.
Staying “neutral” is just their way of pulling the strings without leaving fingerprints on the knife.
Meanwhile, legislative aides, chiefs of staff, and consultant-class Republicans toss around labels like “radical right,” trash grassroots conservatives, smear women’s clubs, and belittle candidates who actually fight for the people.
They don’t want fighters. They want obedience.
And they’ll shame, silence, and sabotage anyone who steps out of line.
Even worse? Some of these elected Uniparty players have said out loud that Alaska must “move to the middle” to keep their grip on power.
Translation? They’re willing to turn Alaska purple to stay in charge.
Is that what you want, Alaska?
Because here’s the reality: You voted for Trump in 2024 by 13 points. Your voice was loud and clear. And they’re doing everything they can to bury it.
This isn’t Right vs. Left anymore. It’s controlled vs. free.
And right now, the Reagan Caucus and their allies are working to control this state, while pretending they’re just being “pragmatic.”
Let me be blunt: The middle is a mirage. Consensus is camouflage. And “neutrality” is just the tool they use to take your voice and hand it to someone else.
Alaska isn’t purple because of voters. It’s purple because of cowards, consultants, and calculated sabotage.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way — unless we let it.
There’s a real difference between principled leadership and political cosplay.
Between a candidate with convictions and one curated by consultants.
Between real unity based on shared values—and weaponized unity used to freeze out conservatives behind closed doors.
The game is on. And the strategists are counting on you to stay asleep.
But here’s the twist:
They’re not afraid of Democrats. They’re afraid of you — the voter who won’t comply, the voice they can’t manage, the movement they couldn’t cancel in 2016, 2020, 2024, or now.
It’s time to choose.
Choose bold.
Choose early.
Send a message.
Pick candidates who aren’t trying to get invited to Democratic cocktail parties.
Because if we don’t make our move before the primary, we’ll be stuck with what’s left after the establishment rigs the board.
And by then, it’ll be too late.
The battle for 2026 has already started. They’re hoping you don’t notice.

There is only ‘one’ way to resolve this, not exactly sexy or pretty (definitely not legal – ethical), but it’s effective. When cutting out the cancer from the patient, all options must be considered. Next, comes the courage and will power to execute with precision and deliberate action. Anything less compromises reasonable expectations of success.
We the people who consider ourselves patriots have been trying to sound the warning about this for years. We were considered paranoid and behind the times. Well…it’s here! America is rotting away from the inside out. I can guarantee that there are those of us that will NOT go down without a fight!!!
Alaska has always been purple. Jay Hammond was a democrat, and the one that created the PFD. That’s why our state is returning back to its roots, because Republican leadership isn’t fully consistent with our values. Why do you think Bill Walker was ever an elected as an independent?
