I find I'm deriving a perverse pleasure watching the meltdowns and lamentations on the left following Trump's win. I sort of feel guilty, and sort of don't. 

Someone I loosely know on Facebook recently posted that he literally doesn't know if he will survive the next four years. He somehow survived the first four years of Trump's presidency so I'm not sure why he feels he's in such mortal danger now. He's gay, but no more gay now than he was in 2016.

Can you say overdramatic?

Theatrics is quite common among liberal folks since the election. The co-hosts of the View wore black the day after the election, and Trump opponents far and wide vociferously insist he is a sinister threat to democracy. Yet, they've weaponized the courts in a failed attempt to eliminate Trump as a candidate, filing charges they would not ordinarily bother with; sought to have him removed from the ballot in a couple of states; coerced Biden into abandoning his re-election bid and gifted Harris the nomination in his place without due democratic process. So, the Democrats aren't exactly exemplifying democracy themselves.

Trump has started out putting his best foot forward in selecting Susie Wiles as his Chief of Staff--the first woman ever appointed to that prestigious position. She was instrumental in the success of Trump's campaign strategy and will certainly be a major asset to his administration. (So much for Mark Cuban's allegation that Trump doesn't like strong, intelligent women around him).

Ah, there is jubilation among conservatives today, (but weeping and wailing in the realm of the left). While not a slam dunk, Trump pulled ahead of Harris early in the race and maintained his lead to win handily. Having secured the White House and Senate, (and hopefully the House), the Republicans are poised to begin the work of righting our course and getting our house in order. I'm so thankful that the progressive agenda has been disrupted, and hope when the dust settles, we can begin to unite as a country, and have some sense of normalcy restored.

You say that as if the border is broked.

 

Probably 12 to 15 million "newcomers" arriving in the last 4 years can attest that it's in excellent working order.

I'm not sure that's a fair assessment.

I think Harris just needs the time to consider the problems facing the country at this point in time so she can propose some solutions to the problems and then circle back to the problems and then come up with some solutions to what the country needs at this particular point in time.

It's also very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders, for us at every moment in time — and certainly this one — to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future. And also to imagine what can be, and be unburdened by what has been.

I know you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you believe you heard is not what I meant.

To me it seems too close to call at this point. Harris is unable to propose resolutions to the problems facing the country because she's clueless. As President, she'd be like someone in the cockpit of a plane with neither pilot skills nor a flight plan. I truly hope RK is right.

Wow!

Well, in that case, we'll go with extreme thanksgiving and extreme petitions for her health and restoration.

An extreme amen x 10.
