OK, I don’t have much to say about what happened last night across this great land … so I’ll just declare that most of the Americans who voted for president decided to send us into a period of darkness and despair.
Donald Trump’s election as president is being greeted with high-fives and back-slapping. It’s also being met with tears and worry about what this man’s return to the world stage means for this nation.
This much also is certain as I continue to ponder what might lie ahead for us, which is that Trump once again has turned your friendly blogger into a blithering idiot. Just when I thought Vice President Kamala Harris has revived her campaign down the stretch for a sprint to victory lane, she fell short.
Why on this good Earth we have chosen to elect a degenerate, a pervert, a convicted felon, an admitted philanderer and self-acknowledged sexual assailant to our grandest political office is utterly beyond my ability to understand. He denigrates our servicemen and women, and he expresses admiration for some of the world’s most ruthless dictators
We used to demand that we elect the best among us to public office. Americans have selected one of the worst among us as our president. What in this topsy-turvy world has happened to us?
I am still in utter shock.
It’s obvious that the majority of Americans didn’t fall for the lies that the legacy media and folks like you spread. Maybe, just maybe, you need to reevaluate your thought processes and perhaps see what you’ve overlooked. You’ve certainly been living with blinders.
I just watched Maddow give a whole monologue on Trump being a dictator and comparing our country to China, Russia and North Korea. What the hell is it with you guys that you want to be fear mongerers?
Some of your shock is due to continuing to believe the hate and lies your leftist media brethren have spewed for years. You’re choosing to be in darkness by keeping your eyes closed, so that’s on you. You can make the choice to reconsider what you’ve chosen to believe and come into the light… or, you can choose to keep your eyes closed and keep dwelling in fear, hate and lies. Personally, the latter sounds quite depressing, but you do you
It was the economy stupid.
Always was, always will be.
Couple that with record surges in illegal immigration and the feeling that crime is rampant in big cities and you get an electorate that wants a change.
The pendulum always swings too far in each direction.
We are a center-right country where the working class, due to loss of jobs and higher prices in housing and food, liked the message that Trump sold.
Not too long ago Republicans were trying to figure it out back when Obama won and the Democrats held the House and Senate.
Being the minor party is easy: just oppose everything.
Governing with a majority? Now that is the tough part.
