This is, I think, going to be a somewhat long post. And it’s also going to be somewhat nuanced. Far more nuanced than most posts on this topic.
If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few days, you’ll know that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States last night. It wasn’t just a win, it was a blowout, a landslide, a repudiation, a drubbing. The democrats got trounced up and down the ballot, and there’s very little they can say or do to hide that face.
I cannot be happier about this.
And today, I’m also feeling sick. I am an emotional wreck.
I think I know why. Let me tell you.
The Biden administration has been a disaster ever since he took office. Biden was not only singularly unqualified to take office, his entire team seemed dedicated to doing the exact wrong thing, and putting us all into danger.
The COVID Roller Coaster
COVID came into being while Trump was president the first time, that’s true. And, whether due to his being unsuited to being a “wartime” president, or ill-informed by the people around him, or being maliciously taken out of context by the media, he did not handle it well. And he was defeated. When Biden and his cronies took office, they took Trump’s poor handling of the pandemic and turned it up to eleven. Even at the time, I was wondering exactly how bad of a president Biden would be.
To be frank, he outshined even my worst expectations. Partly because of him, inflation went ballistic, the national debt spiraled out of control, and our quality of life took a sudden nosedive. I spent four years in a state of constant low-level anxiety wondering what other ways he’d find to screw things up, and he always exceeded my expectations. But it’s in 2022 where it all got turned up to 11.
The Putin Roller Coaster
In early 22, Vladimir Putin, and by extension Russia, invaded Ukraine. This was accompanied by a great deal of nuclear threats. At the time there was no way to tell whether or not these threats were real (it turned out that they were, at least mostly, a bluff). But given my background having fear of nuclear war being ingrained in me from childhood, and not trusting Biden to handle it properly, I have lived over two years now, to one degree or other, wondering if I’d look up into the sky and see a nuclear fireball.
Biden and his team seems hell-bent on making it worse. They continue to send money and munitions to Ukraine. To some degree I understand that, but at what point is it just throwing good money after bad, and also poking the nuclear bear? Biden never seemed to take the nuclear threat seriously, while at the same time he seemed to take it overly seriously (how did he pull that off?) and at the end of the day, he did absolutely nothing to address the very real fears that we had Putin lighting off a nuclear war.
The Immigration Roller Coaster
Somewhere Biden and his team of empty heads got the idea that we want illegal immigration in this country. Let me be clear: I like immigrants. I study Japanese culture and language. I know how much immigrants have to offer to our country and culture. But countries like Japan have strong immigration laws for a reason. We have millions of illegal immigrants in this country. No one know who they are, where they are, and what they’re doing. Countries have sent their entire prison population to America (and refused to take them back) because they know we’ll take them. Heck, there are cities with huge populations of illegal immigrants that eat dogs and cats, rape people, and are just generally not very good “citizens”.
Biden (and Harris) did nothing about it. They only seemed to are when they realized it might lose them the election. Spoiler: it did anyway.
They were perfectly happy to send billions of dollars to Ukraine, but couldn’t even be bothered to finish the wall Trump was trying to hard to build. (and, admittedly, mostly failed.)
The Harris Roller Coaster
A few months ago, Biden was tossed off the roller coaster, and Kamala Harris was installed on it. She was a spectacularly unpopular vice president, an unpopular presidential candidate, and seemed to have one brain cell that she sometimes shared with Biden. Essentially, if Biden had won, there would have been four more years of this, probably worse, and at what point does Putin, for whatever reason, decide that enough is enough and start throwing nukes around? Yes, it’s true that the odds of any given Russian nuke working are probably around ten percent, but ten percent of a thousand nukes is still a hundred nukes, and one is too many. I was faced with the potential of four more years of this crap, with no end in sight, and basically just having to wonder when it was all going to go to hell. Because, it was. It was going to go to hell, the only question was when, how, and how bad.
But Trump won last night.
The Trump Roller Coaster
I am so relieved it’s not even funny. But the fear of the past four years is catching up to me now, and I’m ill. My stomach is upset, my brain is foggy, and I’m emotional for no real reason. It’s been a difficult day, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better for the short term. But I can breathe now. I can say “maybe now it will get better”. I don’t trust Trump, but I trust him a damn sight more than that empty-pantsuited sleep-her-way-to-the-top whore and that dementia riddled old man who took showers with his daughter. I finally see some light at the end of the rainbow. It’s been four years of nothing but wondering when the end would come. Maybe it still will, but I trust Trump to do everything he can to prevent it. Two more months, and our long national nightmare is finally over.
Who will be elected after Trump? Hopefully we get eight years of Vance, and maybe twelve years is enough to even start to get us on the right track. Assuming, of course, the deep state doesn’t get Trump. That’s always a distinct possibility.
The Democrats were trounced. They lost most of the elections they were pinning their hopes on. Even Gascon was defeated, and I didn’t think I’d ever see the day where Californians would kick out a Soros DA. However, the chances of them learning anything from that are slightly less than zero, so about all we can do is try to install a culture that will make sure they can never do this shit again. I don’t ever want to live like this again. I want to be able to go on a trip without wondering if my house will be destroyed by a nuke while I’m travelling. that’s something I never got with Biden.
I don’t trust Trump. He didn’t do a great job in his first term, particularly towards the end. But comparing him to Biden, it’s like night and day. He’s the only one who can get us out of this mess right now, and I hope he steps up to the challenge, like he didn’t do in his first term. I have high expectations, high expectations I never had or could have had for Biden. About the only expectation I had for Biden was that he not get us into a world war, and time will tell if he even flubbed that low bar.
He’s been talking about adding Elon to his cabinet. I don’t trust Elon either. Not at all. But if you’re serious about getting the best minds in the government to try to fix it, well, you could make lots worse choices. Like Biden did.
Thanks to everyone in the country who assisted in kicking that evil out of the White House.
There are liberal tears. I love the liberal tears. But right now, I’m not even really concerned about that. There will be plenty of time for that when Biden’s legacy is thoroughly destroyed, DEI is dead, wokeness is dead, and the skittle-haired snowflakes are sitting around wondering where their plots to destroy America all went wrong. There will be plenty of time for that when the illegal immigrants are deported, our cities are safe again, manufacturing is returned to our homeland, and we’re no longer dependent on China for most of our manufactured goods. There will be plenty of time for that when we’ve returned to being an oil exporter, when we’re paying down the national debt and running surpluses, when the price of groceries falls and people can finally afford to feed their families again. We can (and should) gloat then. Right now, there is far too much work to do.
