Make The Democratic Party Great Again

 

Let's be honest.  The Democratic Party was never really great.  I can say that because so many Democrats are talking about how America was never great.  It was, and it is.  But one day, I'd really like to go into the voting booth and see the names of the Democratic candidate for President and the Republican candidate for President and think to myself, hmmm, I'm choosing this one, but it was a tough choice, because both are pretty solid candidates.  Dream on, right?  But now that Donald Trump has been elected to a second non-consecutive term, a lot of people are pointing fingers and trying to figure out how that could have just happened again.  Well, I'll give you my take on why it happened, and as a bonus, perhaps Democrats can glean some tips to improve their chances of winning in the future.

First and foremost, the mainstream media, celebrities on the Left, and the elite Democrats can kiss their influence goodbye, because this was the most contrived, forced campaign in our nation's history.  These entities acted as one to fake enthusiasm in order to garner support for a horrifyingly terrible candidate.  Honestly, until Joe Biden made it impossible for this cabal to continue denying his decline, nearly no one was excited about Kamala Harris.  She has been an uninspiring Vice President who fumbled most of the tasks she was given, including when she was given the unofficial border czar title, which mainstream media noted well at the time, but then vehemently denied when she became the Democratic nominee for President, a curious decision in the age of the Internet.  The campaign was supposed to be about joy, but it mostly ended up based on stoking fears of what Hitlerian things Trump would do if he got in.  To the credit of VP Harris, she can at least put together semi-coherent sentences and walk without making everyone think she's about to topple over, but she didn't bring much else to the table.

The campaign of fake joy fizzled out as the message instead became about how Trump was a threat to Democracy.  His rally at Madison Square Garden leading up to the election was branded a Nazi rally by the Left, because there was a Nazi rally held there in 1939 or some shit, a tradition that was undoubtedly picked up by Patrick Ewing and John Starks in the 80s and 90s, before again being revived by Trump in 2024 as one of the more pro-Israel Nazi rallies in the history of the world.  Thankfully, the esteemed Oprah Winfrey, a good friend of celebrities of all races who were accused of sexual assault, was there to warn all of us that if we didn't vote for Harris in this election, we may never get the opportunity to cast a ballot again.  Thanks for that, Oprah.  I hope everyone remembers that when we cast a ballot next year, and then in the mid-terms, and the year after that, and then in the 2028 Presidential election, when Trump will not be on the ballot, as he will instead be replaced by a new Hitler, perhaps even a Black, Female, or Jewish version of the Fuhrer.

All that being said, if Trump is really the threat to Democracy that so many are claiming he is, why wouldn't your top priority be to make sure that he never got into office again?  Don't tell me that was your top priority with the way things went down.  Seriously.  You run the addled current President out there, thwarting any serious primary threats, and he insists that he's going to be the nominee again, until he suddenly isn't, and then he's replaced immediately by VP Harris, because she's the one the Democratic elites chose, and she would get to (mis)use all of the campaign money that had already accrued.  That was a real winning strategy if the goal was to raise a Billion dollars and end up $20 Million in debt.  So many better things could have been done with that money, but that's beside the point.  The Democrats squandered a chance to have an open convention, although they probably would have screwed that up too if it came to fruition, because nominating a Centrist candidate who would have likely beat Trump was out of the question.  They couldn't nominate Tulsi Gabbard, or heck, if they were really so worried about Trump as a unique threat, Nikki Haley.  Because it was never about keeping Trump out of office.  It was about getting someone in office who will attempt to ram through a radical Leftist agenda.  Think the Far Left equivalent of whatever Project 2025 was supposed to be.

Speaking of Project 2025, remember how the MSM-Celebrity-Democratic Leftist cabal couldn't stop talking about Trump's Project 2025 plan, despite Trump saying he had no knowledge of it and nothing to do with its formation?  It's good to see they've abandoned those lies now that Trump has been elected, and are now pointing out that Trump said the plan wasn't his in an effort to get him to not implement Project 2025, which was actually developed by a conservative think tank and is now being resurrected by some in the party who want Trump to take on that mantle now that he has been elected.  So much fun.  Frankly, there are some good things in Project 2025, and some bad things, from what I know about it anyway and my own opinions on those subjects, but I certainly haven't read the whole thing, nor do I care to ever do so.  But I would like to remind everyone that Trump was the first President to take office as a supporter of Gay Marriage (Obama did support it in the 2012 campaign, but he pretended not to when he was first elected in 2008).  I don't think President Trump has any interest in removing legal protections for gay marriage, nor contempt for Obergefell.  Furthermore, he said he wouldn't even sign a national ban on abortion, but maintains that it should be decided by the states.

As far as abortion though, where should the line be drawn on that?  Trump doesn't seem to care as deeply about it as many of his fellow Republicans, but he's proud he had a hand in Dobbs overturning Roe, because that doesn't outright ban abortion as some think it did, but it takes the Federal Government out of it.  Kamala and company want to make abortion the law of the land.  They say there aren't frequent cases of late term abortions, and even some cases where babies have been born alive and left to die, but some very basic research will show that they are lying.  If you don't believe me and you're a woman, try inquiring about getting a late term abortion yourself and see how much resistance you're met with.  So, while Trump has essentially taken the very middle-of-the-road stance on abortion, saying it should be left up to the states and that he would not sign a national ban on abortion, Kamala and the Left have not.  They have repeatedly refused to say where the cutoff for an abortion would be.  Certainly not at a biologically sensible place like when the heart is beating.  As Trump asked and failed to get an answer from VP Harris in the debate, how late is too late?  Do we stop at 7 months?  8 months?  9 months?  And I don't want to hear what I always hear when I make that argument- that it should be left up to the woman and her healthcare provider, and that there are cases of rape, incest, and the mother's health.  I'm taking about most abortions that take place, where there has not been rape or incest and where the mother's life is not in danger.  I am fine with exceptions for all three of those things.  And it's medical malpractice that should result in a lawsuit if a doctor ever refuses to end an ectopic pregnancy, whether the doctor is confused about the law or not.  If we need to clarify that, then fine, get Congress to act, and it will have Bipartisan support.  Beyond that though, I hate abortion, and the Federal Government and my tax dollars should have nothing to do with it, regardless of how I feel about it personally.

One thing that everyone should be able to agree on though is the importance of freedom of speech.  Many on the far left and mainstream media wish to shut down views that they disagree with, and even stop non-mainstream reporters that they disagree with from being able to reach people.  If someone brings up reasons why we shouldn't give puberty blockers to children, it's bigoted anti-trans hate speech that should be silenced, rather than, you know, reality and science with studies to back it up, because child abuse is wrong.  Truth be damned, narrative is king.  The mainstream media also goes out of its way to turn the other way on allegations against people named Clinton, Biden, or Harris, but force-fed everyone hit pieces against Trump in the days leading up to the election.  One example was those who said that Trump was threatening to kill Liz Cheney, when he was clearly making the same point that a myriad of Liberals made during the Bush/Cheney administration, that politicians aren't going to war themselves, but are putting others in harm's way.  Heck, some in the media were one small step away from saying that whenever Trump said he would beat Kamala on election day that he clearly really meant that he would physically hit her.  Thankfully, enough people were not stupid enough to believe their lies.

Equally problematic to the lying is the things that are intentionally not reported on in mainstream media, like how Harris seemed to be pro-Israel when speaking in certain places, and anti-Israel when speaking in other places.  And then there's the inconsistency of standards.  For example, the media happily reported that there was no evidence for Trump's claim that some immigrants were eating pets (outside of the people who said they were anyway, I suppose), but also that there was no evidence that Harris lied about working at McDonald's (because a friend of hers recalled her working there).  It would be just easy and make just as much sense for them to say that there was no evidence that immigrants weren't eating pets (seeing as someone said on camera that they were), and no evidence that Harris worked at McDonald's (since McDonald's didn't keep good records then, and they only found one friend of Harris who simply recalls her working there).  It's quite easy to manipulate a story to say what you want it to say, depending on what your end goal is.  Perhaps Harris would have benefited if she went on Joe Rogan's podcast like Trump did, rather than instead asking him to come to her and requesting a reduction from a three-hour to a one-hour interview, although I suspect it would have actually made things worse for her, because the more she talks, the less people like her.

To those people still screaming about how Trump beat Harris because of racism and sexism, give it a rest already.  It's a tired narrative that isn't true, and it isn't winning your side any more votes, no matter how true you think it may be.  I didn't vote for Trump because I am racist or sexist, and the same holds true for most of his voters, including plenty of women and minorities.  A lot of women voted for Trump, and a surprisingly high percentage of Latinos voted for Trump (including a majority of male Latino voters!).  He did better than the average Republicans with African Americans as well.  Perhaps Hispanic/Latino voters don't like being pandered to, and so many I know are smart, hard-working, and family-oriented.  I don't know a single one who uses the term "Latinx" either, which seems to be used most often by "well-educated" white Liberal elites, the same group who is still looking down on Trump voters and haughtily pointing out that those with a college education more often voted for Harris, while the "uneducated" voted more often for Trump.  Yeah, I guess that's how indoctrination in Universities works.  It makes smart people stupid, but they still think everyone else is dumb, just not them.

I'm optimistic that Trump won't anoint himself King, but both Democrats and Republicans must still hold him accountable.  He wants to accomplish so many great things during his next term, and he's nominating a lot of people who will help him fulfill his promises and hit his goals, but Trump remains a deeply flawed human being, as we all are.  Thankfully, Matt Gaetz will not become the Attorney General, but the fact that he was Trump's first pick for that position irks me.  Not everything will be a win, but I like the majority of his cabinet picks, and so many of the things that Trump says he'll do when he gets back into office.  Above all, he's already saved us from a disastrous (shudder) Kamala Harris presidency.  We have a lot to be thankful for going into 2025.

Trump the Left's Lies and Hate

For a third time, I endorse Donald J. Trump for the office of President of the United States, and I want him to win this time more than ever.  We've gone through nearly four years of the Biden/Harris administration, and we've gone through four years of Trump.  During which one were you better off?  Things are unaffordable now, inflation is rampant, there's a constant threat of crazy leftist policies getting enacted (thankfully the House has a razor thin Republican majority), and the rhetoric is worse than ever.

If you listen to Harris, Biden, and the liars they surround themselves with, Trump is a fascist, and he's a threat to Democracy.  He's going to jail his opponents.  He's going to start wars.  He's racist.  His rallies are akin to Nazi rallies.  Yet, when he was President for four years, he was not a fascist, he did not jail his opponents (though his opponents are continuing to try to put him in jail), he's the only President in my lifetime that I remember NOT starting any new wars (though under Biden and Harris, two terrible wars started and continue overseas), his policies have benefited all races, and for someone who's a Nazi (and officially recognized Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel), he sure seems to like Jews a lot.

But January 6th.  Yes, January 6th.  The Democrats are playing their greatest hits.  He sent an angry mob to the Capitol in an attempt to overturn Democracy.  Except everyone knows that isn't what happened.  I don't condone all of his actions and inactions on that day.  And I don't condone a lot of his rhetoric between the 2020 election and that day.  Yes, a lot of things happened that shouldn't have.  Voting in places like Pennsylvania had rule changes of questionable legality, the media went hard for Biden and ran interference on the Hunter Biden laptop story, lampooning it as Russian disinformation as they acted as one with social media to BAN THE FUCKING STORY so as not to damage Biden's chances right before the election.  But, unfortunately, Joe Biden did indeed get more votes than Donald Trump, and he won the election.  End of story.  Trump has claimed otherwise, and whether he's right or wrong, his claims have not been proven, inside or outside of a court of law.  But he didn't send a mob to overturn the results.  Some people got out of hand at the Capitol that day, but he was clear that he wished them to be peaceful.  Unlike the many deaths in previous BLM rioters, those for which Kamala Harris raised bail money to get rioters out of jail, the only death on that day from the riot in D.C. was a woman who entered the Capitol and was shot by a policeman (imagine the cognitive dissidence from the left if Ashli Babbitt was Black).  There were injuries, and a policeman died a few days later from cardiac arrest that does not appear to be related to the riot, but that's not the fabricated story Harris and her supporters tell.

And alongside January 6 on their greatest hits list is Trump's remarks regarding Charlottesville.  Boy do they love the "Good people on both sides" narrative that they just can't quit.  Go listen to the full audio yourself in context.  Seriously.  It's out there if you look a bit.  Then draw your own conclusions rather than adhering to what the Democrats and the mainstream media tell you to think.  When Trump made that remark he was referring to people on both sides of the debate as to whether or not the Robert E. Lee statue should come down, not people on both sides of being a Nazi.  Absurd.  It's no wonder that they're trying to link him to whatever "Project 2025" was supposed to be, which is something he had nothing to do with, as he has repeatedly said, and yet the Democrats and the mainstream media call it his own, while excusing Kamala Harris from owning any of the disasters of the last four years that she was directly responsible for.

Then, of course, we have the out-of-context use of Trump's statements.  The Democrats and the media go out of their way to make what he says sound horrifying.  For example, Trump's comment that he would be a dictator on day one in context (again, look it up and watch and listen to it in context please) was a comment he made regarding closing the border and drilling, and he said other than enacting those things on day one, he would not be a dictator (obviously those two things would not make him a dictator anyway, but he was making a point).  Look up his comments about "a bloodbath" if he loses as well.  He definitely was not saying there would be violence (although only Democrats can use this particular hyperbole without it being intentionally misinterpreted), but was in fact referring to an economic "bloodbath".  Most recently, they're interpreting Trump's use of the old Democratic talking point from the early 2000s about how politicians send others to wars that they create but should instead go themselves, to mean that he wants to execute Liz Cheney.  We're supposed to believe that Trump was actually talking about being a dictator, and enacting physical violence or even murder with these quotes, whereas Democrats and media will run interference on behalf of Biden and Harris, excusing them from every hyperbole, and most recently even inserting a non-existent and nonsensical apostrophe when Biden clearly called half the nation (Trump supporters) garbage, following faux outrage from a joke made by an insult comic at a Trump rally about Puerto Rico being an island of floating garbage.

Perhaps the worst lie though is that Trump is a threat to Democracy.  You tell me what the greater threat to Democracy is--Donald Trump, who has been President for four years previously and peacefully transferred power on Biden's inauguration Day--or Kamala Harris and company.  Remember, the Democrats installed Harris as their candidate after Biden got the bulk of the Primary votes (she got zero) and then everyone realized he was incompetent (yet he's remained President) and would lose the election.  And they are the ones who want to silence what they call "misinformation" whether it's true or not, as long as it goes against their narrative.  And they want to make it much more difficult for many citizens to get a gun.  They want to make "hate speech" illegal.  That can include anything they want, including if you speak out against a child being sexually abused by receiving dangerous "gender-affirming care" (do whatever you want if you're an adult by the way, but leave the kids alone).  Remember when they wanted to force people to get the Covid shots and it had to be struck down by the Supreme Court?  That seems problematic, and I'm someone who got the two Moderna shots by choice (based on data I thought I could trust anyway).

If given the House and Senate in addition to the Presidency, does anyone doubt that Democrats would try to ensure that the Republicans never have power again?  Most Democratic nominees for SCOTUS are scary enough, but does anyone doubt that they would try to "expand" the Supreme Court and enshrine statehood upon Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico?  By the way, here's an idea for if they actually do that and the Republicans do take back power of the Government again one day after the Democrats add two surefire blue states to the union: Counter by splitting the massive territory that is Alaska into four states--Alaske, Alaski, Alasko, and Alasku--to make it an even 55 in the union (but God forbid it ever comes to that).

With all the horrifying lies being told about Trump, it's no wonder he's been shot once, and at least two people have made serious attempts to assassinate him.  I mean, if he was seriously Hitler like too many on the Left claim, that would be a proper response.  But he isn't, and they know it, so they need to stop saying it.  Trump's rhetoric obviously isn't perfect either, and he's lied about things as well, but his lies are usually just absurd things that he says off the cuff, not like the coordinated campaign of lies perpetrated by Kamala Harris, the Democratic establishment, the "Deep State", the mainstream media, and social media sites not owned by Trump or Elon Musk (another person now being vilified by the Left for his support of Trump despite all the great things he's done for humanity).

Musk is probably hated by the Democrats and mainstream media even more than former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, who I'm a fan of, but Democrats no longer are, because she endorsed Trump.  But their newly-minted enemy may be hated by them most of all, because perhaps the most telling endorsement for Trump came from RFK Jr., a third party candidate who, though flawed, has made it his focus to try to help America get healthy again.  Despite the Kennedy name being synonymous with the Democratic Party, he dropped out of the race to support the candidate who is clearly better than the other major candidate and more aligned with his goals (and the Democrats won't even let him remove his name from the ballot in several states so as to hopefully take votes from Trump in swing states).  Should he become President again, hopefully Trump follows through with whatever promises he made to RFK Jr., putting him in a position to enact some real change for good.  And by the way, I was just in Europe for two weeks, and the food is way different there, so much more real, fresh, and healthy! I'm normally against additional Government regulations and believe Trump's previously stated policy of removing two regulations when one new one is added is great, but food regulation is certainly an exception to that, because some of the things we allow in our food here are mind-boggling.

One thing interesting that I've noticed with Democratic Presidential Candidates of late is that the VP somehow always seems to be worse than the President.  Barack Obama was not great, but Joe Biden was worse.  Joe Biden was pretty bad, but Kamala Harris is worse.  Kamala Harris is terrible, but Tim Walz seems like he is inexplicably even worse than she is.  J.D. Vance was not my first choice to be Trump's running mate, but I believe that he could one day be a better President than Trump.  He's very intelligent, he speaks well, and he easily destroyed Tim Walz in the Vice Presidential Debate.  I mean, it was worse than that fifth inning of Game 5 of the World Series for the Yankees defense...

The choice is clear this Tuesday.  Don't vote for the candidate who is trying to shift the focus away from her terrible far Left record, masquerading hate as joy, cackling and repeating empty platitudes everywhere she goes.  Vote for the candidate who gets shot, gets back up, raises his fist in strength and defiance, and this is will to overcome, to rise above, not a call to violence...  Fight!  Fight!  Fight!
