I Was Wrong and I’m Glad

by

I did not believe Donald Trump would win. But, granted, a lot of this was a choice to embrace calculated despair. I didn’t dare believe, after the last eight years, that there was any hope left to be had. I didn’t want to be let down again. I willfully dismissed any indication that Trump might pull it off as wishcasting because I simply did not wish to be disappointed.

I am pretty stunned that Ron Jonson and Pat Toomey held on in the senate; disappointed about Nevada though. I guess its Californication is complete.

On the plus side, my (often wrong) instinct on Trump is that as an old man with a large ego, he is going to be very focused on how history will remember him. I think this will make him focus on getting Big Things right; because he will want to be remembered as a Great President who did Bigly Things. Thus, I’m not concerned at all about what he might do for “LGBTQXYYZ People” because despite its exaggerated importance in the media, gay rights are little things, historically speaking.

On the minus side, Donald Trump is a de facto Independent who ran as president under a Republican label. Mike Bloomberg pulled the same stunt in NYC; but NYC seemed to like him OK, even with his loony positions on soft drinks and gun control.  He has the opposition not just of Democrats, but also the Republican Establishment, the Mega Banks, and all the Democrat-Media Complex. His task will not be an easy one. Not to mention, the embedded Obamacrat operatives throughout the Federal Bureaucracy who will be working to sabotage him at every turn.

BTW: Here’s the list of 23 celebrities and sort-of celebrities who promised to leave the country if Trump won. I will be surprised if even 1 of these overprivileged airheads even follows through. But I hope I am wrong.

  1. In regards to the bureaucracy being poised against him: well, in the words of Barack Obama, “I have a pen and a phone.” Let’s give them a taste of their own medicine and see how they like one party leadership when its not their party.

    I could be completely wrong here (I don’t think I am), but I think a big part of this was people rejecting the monumental hypocrisy of liberals. For years, we have listened to liberals pride themselves of wanting sexual equality, but all the while, treated men as rapists until proven otherwise, and laughed at the notion of women assaulting men, wondering in internet parlance, “if no consent, why erection?”. For years, we have listened to liberals present themselves as champions of the poor, all while spitting on poor whites as backwards hicks, despite holding similar social views to the poor blacks and latinos the liberals fawned over. For years, we have listened to liberals say that one cannot make judgment calls about people based on their genetic characters, but then proceeded to treat the ethnic majority of this country as unwelcome guests and the source of all problems in their own home.

    Well, guess what, liberals: Americans don’t take kindly to phonies of any stripe, and the citizens of one of the most tolerant, generous, and accepting countries in the world don’t appreciate being called Nazis, especially when you call them that because its a reflexive action with no factual backing.

  3. Sean L: Or, say, the hypocrisy of liberals supporting for President a woman who, over the years, has helped cover up her own husband’s sexual assaults on women. For that alone, liberals should have laughed Hillary out of the room as a rapist’s enabler.

    The question in my mind is, how did she lose? Some wild guesses – or really, questions:

    – Blacks didn’t turn out like in 2008/12?
    – Bernie supporters didn’t turn out for Cankles? Anecdotally, I must say that here in a super-blue state, I’ve seen fewer Hillary bumper stickers than Obama ones (still).
    – The polls, like the debates and the media in general, really were rigged – or at least groupthinked/biased – to try to make Hillary look better than she ever was?
    – Some actual Trump supporters were embarrassed and didn’t tell the pollsters?
    – (Most sinister and wild) Trump has made a deal with the Establishment, so that at least some of the vote-fraud machinery at the last minute was suddenly deployed for him, rather than all of it for Hillary??
    – Intervention of God? America plain “got lucky”?

  4. It’s Morning In America again, folks! 😉

    And for you #NeverTrumpers, I will quote what Minnie said in the movie “The Help” to Hildy:

    Eat. My. Caca.

  10. If only there were a way to hold celebrities to their “threats”.

    If I were one of those nouveau ultra-rich who got that way by patenting something otherwise totally silly, like the “swipe” movement on Tinder or whatever and had money to use instead of bathroom tissue, I would start a Trexit Accountability Project or similar to continually bring attention to those who keep making false promises and never following through. It would be part guerrilla shaming operation, and part social service organization (“Planning to emigrate? Here’s what you need to know in order to become a citizen of all UN-recognized nations.”). The beneficiaries would feel like a prospective AARP member after hitting age 50, but much like Groundhog Day, they would feel like every month was their 50th birthday. I think it would be a fun experiment, and just as worthy of funding as many of the other things the idle and not-so-idle rich spend their money on.
