White Rock,
You called it and never swayed. There was no way I thought Trump would be able to win. Nice job. I voted Trump again, he had me at the Garbage truck...
I am also optimistic about his tone, he seems to be clear in purpose and really wants the US back on top. Bet he offers olive branch and offer to deal with Dems. He needs to close this gap, let them do their social BS and keep the nuts and bolts. This dichotomy has to get back to all being pro-USA.
You are too kind!
here's a text exchange I had this morning with a super donor friend:
Me: "You did a lot more than I did to make last night possible. THANKS!!
Friend: "I don't know about that but I'm glad we all rowed in the same direction. Getting the popular vote and the Senate is HUGE!"
Me: "Indeed. It closes the door on a LOT of nonsense and lets us get to work rebuilding the country. The outcome is very healthy for self-government. For all his warts, Trump has shown the Democrats that Republicans have the fortitude to beat them at their own game - bare knuckled mud wrestling, kicking nuts & hurling ad hominem even harder and louder than they can. That will force them to get back to issues that matter to ordinary people. Wokeness is implicitly premised in the notion that what classical liberalism calls "common good" is in fact "systemic oppression." Therefore, wokeness does not even attempt to solve a single problem of ordinary people. It just relentlessly attacks them as obstacles to "progress." That makes it very hard to build broad coalitions, and perfectly explains how Trump grew his vote with such a broad range of demographics. There actually IS such a thing as common good. Politics which appeal to it will have a good fortune more often than not.
Friend: "Well said!!"
Me: "I'm gonna engage in "seven days of schadenfreude" then get back to work."
