Hindsight and all that stuff . . . it’s kind of important in this case. I knew that Trump would win, but I must admit to being more than a little surprised that he won this big. And I was very hopeful that we’d win and/or hold the senate and house. But that was a wonderful gift if it proves to be the case.
Before I get started let me offer a little perspective. My hometown is Eagle Pass, Texas in Maverick County, better known to many as ground-zero for illegal migrants along the Texas border. That county of roughly 85% Hispanic/15% Anglo, voted nearly 60% for President Trump. So, please leave the “racist” garbage at home for this one.
The Democrat elites still don’t get it. Or maybe they do, but they’re going to attempt to keep up the charade and continue their betrayal of their supporters, viewers or listeners. They’ve lied through their teeth every day since 2015, and they’re not stopping now! Don’t misunderstand, not everything they had to say about Donald Trump was a lie.
But all the legitimate criticisms were trivial and mostly entirely beside the point. I read an article in the Washington Examiner by Dennis Kneale. He offered the most accurate description of Trump that I’ve read – accurate, but very incomplete. Kneale said, “He [Trump] is the outsider. He is brash and egotistical, and he puts out mean, unpresidential tweets. Exaggeration is part of his DNA.”
Exactly! Which is why I’ve always said that I probably don’t want Trump at Sunday dinner. But here’s the rest of that story. Trump is smart as a whip and billion-dollar successful. He is generous, even charitable. He’s tough and works harder than anyone. He loves his country and raised five really good children who adore him – they are kind, hardworking, successful and raising good kids of their own. They’re not snorting coke or extorting foreign officials or photographing themselves having sex with prostitutes.
Sorry. I told myself that this one should be more conciliatory. I’ll try, but that isn’t easy when you’ve lived through unrelenting attacks by the left. ‘Good thing that we on the right know who we are and what we believe. Trash-talk is just that to us – trash. And we are fairly astute. We recognize people and things for who and what they are.
Today, according to the empty talking-heads at MSNBC et al., our fathers, sons and husbands who voted for Trump are all misogynists. Are you kidding me?!
So, if fathers want to protect their daughters from being beaten to a pulp by a male in an athletic event, he’s a misogynist? If a son worries that his elderly mother’s social security check won’t cover her groceries anymore, he’s a misogynist? If a husband is grieving the young wife he lost when she was attacked, raped and murdered while she was jogging, he’s a misogynist?
I saw another clip by some fellow on that same useless “news” channel say that the majority of American people – Trump won the popular vote, people – voted against democracy. Has there ever been anything so stupid said about a MAJORITY VOTE?! It is UN-democratic?
And stay tuned, please, because my next effort here will talk about the electoral college and “a republic versus democracy” for any who are interested.
Sunny Hostin, on “The View,” questioned how white women could vote against their own reproductive rights. They didn’t, you cretin! Dobbs didn’t take away abortion “rights.” Dobbs ended a federal court imposing a cultural and moral judgment on the people. The Dobbs decision merely said, “’Not our business, people. Go figure it out for yourselves.” Seven out of ten state ballot initiatives that protected abortion rights passed on Tuesday, while three did not. And four out of the seven states also went for Trump!!
And let’s get one thing straight . . . Donald Trump does not now and never has called for a federal ban on abortion rights. It’s a flat-out lie. And for you in New Mexico, neither did Nella Domenici.
Now, let me speak to any of my family and friends who supported Kamala and the Democratic Party. Both Democrats and Republicans have contributed to the greatness of this country. And both have made some gross errors over our nearly three centuries of existence. But the most recent set of errors made by Democrats are, first, to ignore the other voice. You steadfastly refused to watch Fox News because “Fox BAD!” Well, you missed the whole ballgame.
Fox reported on how people were feeling, what they were thinking, what they cared about. And those of us who watched Fox, along with all the foolishness coming out of the elite “big three” – mainstream media, Hollywood and D.C. – knew who would win. We hadn’t intentionally ignored what more than half the country were worried about. We listened to you, but you didn’t listen to us!
The second error, and it was a big one, was to try to use “lawfare” to silence your political opponents. That was an egregious and, ultimately, deadly error. We have and, undoubtedly, will run into legitimate reasons to use the legal system against a politician, but winning partisan elections isn’t one of them. Leticia James has already promised to gear up and sharpen the knives, but hopefully, most Democrats are more fair-minded than that.
Americans are nothing if not, unfailingly, fair-minded. We don’t like using government, whether it’s bureaucrats or lawyers, to go after our political opponents. We don’t like taking a trucker’s hard-earned dollars to pay for a privileged kid’s college education. We don’t like homeless veterans living on the curb while illegal migrants are put up in some of the nicer hotels. We don’t like the elite who live behind high walls and hire bodyguards passing crap crime law like Prop 47 in California.
I know that most Democrat Americans are just as fair-minded as anyone, but you have to be willing to hear another side. Yes, Democrats thought they were getting the full story because their awful media told them they were, but the results on Tuesday, November 5th should be a huge wake-up call. No. They lied to you. They manipulated your good judgment. They abused your trust. And they’ll do it again, until you demand truth.
That’s really the big takeaway from all this. There will always be two sides, two ways to go about doing the business of the American people. But we used to be able to do that without lawfare, assassination attempts, multiple impeachment efforts, relentless name-calling and LYING. Surely, there are better ways than this to do our jobs as citizens.
