I’m running out of time. Babbie looked it up on the internet and says I have 8.8 years left. I think I’ll live till I’m 90. Time will tell.
So, my reaction to the election was relief. Having Harris as President would have been extremely depressing four years, and I thank God I don’t have endure it.
I believe DeSantis could have beaten her more soundly than Trump did. For every Trump lover there’s a Trump hater. You didn’t have to like him to vote for him, and that’s what a lot of people did. Including me. But a lot of people, some my friends, could never stomach voting for Trump, and refused to do it.
Just like in 2016 the media nominated Trump. Back then, they had the Hollywood Access tape, demonstrating that he was a sexist pig. They could have released that tape before the Republican Convention and torpedoed his nomination. Instead, they saved it for the general. It leaked early, and Trump had a few weeks to recover, and won in spite of it.
This year the Democrats used lawfare to make him a martyr. People were so pissed off at this that they switched from DeSantis to Trump. At the beginning of this year Democrats were in desperate shape. All the signs pointed to a landslide loss, so they decided to gamble on another Trump nomination.
Oops! In their defense, they were desperate.
The people who hated Trump before the election still do. They always will.
Trump knows this, but he doesn’t care. He’s just going to kick ass and take names. He doesn’t have to worry about his approval rating.
This country will remain divided for four years. Then, we can all hope, we’ll get a President everybody can get behind. Then we’ll get an honest to God landslide. A new political coalition will form. It will include Trump haters.
The next four years will reveal who will lead this next phase of American renewal. Unlike the Democrats, we have a deep bench.
