The Trump diametric

Post election has been remarkable in its hilarity, hypocrisy and heckling. Liberals dancing dangerously close to the political edge seem stunned by reality, undone by the fact there are other issues on the table besides deliberately vague social justice.
“The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming!” declared the sour grapes of liberalism upon launching the vast conspiracy of Putin tampering with the mechanisms of voting.
The tampering accusation, of course, is nothing more than that. There has been zilch tying Putin and Trump to conspiracy. The Russian thing is the product of rumor and leaks of unidentified origin within the layered ranks of agencies still owned by the left.
“No proof was offered for any accusation…” stated one print news report appropriately.
There’s the American left, folks: Accuse but don’t prove. The goal is to taint.
Obama is still president. Had tampering occurred, it would’ve happened on his watch. Trump has no control on how things go down in these fading days of the Obama lame duck. To suggest Trump could somehow influence Putin is to suggest also Obama had none.
This gambit and many others speak to the desperation of the left working so hard to discredit the legitimacy of Trump’s election.
Disbelief followed by denial, desperation and density.
For one such as myself sitting high on the right rail, the laughter hasn’t stopped; indeed, at times watching the left scramble to damage control has reached knee-slapping proportions. Panic is palpable.
Shortly after the election, liberal commentators with neckties askew and brows knitted, solemnly predicted the stock market would plummet, wiping out the hard-earned wealth of those who went for Clinton.
The market went up instead and has stayed husky.
It is worth repeating the left knows nothing about what makes an economy sing. They wash everything in the social justice laundry.
Trump, on the other hand, is well educated in economics and business and knows how to stimulate growth across the playing field so frequently mentioned by those who have no interest in it beyond political profit.
Vote recounts went forward before stumbling awkwardly. These were planned for Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania so engineered by those who knew it just wasn’t possible that Democratic bastions were fed up. Curt federal judges slammed the door, but the one count done, thrice actually, yielded more votes for Trump.
Dour libs warned grimly that LGBT rights were now in danger due to the election of Trump. Some described it as an assault on their rights as if an election hadn’t been held. I read some disturbing things in this regard.
Just know this was fear mongering designed to keep a newly won bloc within the liberal fold. Hyperbole is a leftist forte; dishonesty is its habit; fear is its currency.
The idea that Trump or conservatives in general will repeal equal rights for anyone is baseless. He has given no indication of doing such and would be stopped if he did. Also, Trump is far more socially tolerant than his enemies would have you believe.
Ditto women’s rights. There was even the absurd notion that women would lose the right to vote under Trump. That’s how silly it has gotten for a side unaware its primary leadership is over the hill and its ideology as decadent as a French film.
It is customary for the left to attack the Electoral College moments after losing an election. This institution, however, is more than traditional; it is a guardian of equality. Its value should be plain to all in the flyover states.
Without the Electoral College, California and a handful of other urban-laden liberal states would control every election, thereby creating a one- party system at the executive level. This has been a goal of the far left forever.
The Electoral College count saw two votes abandon Trump. Five gave up Hillary Clinton for others, notably Clinton’s friend/enemy, Bernie Sanders, a better socialist than she.
The Trump diametric is he is a big picture guy determined to bring the country back to economic triumph, pride and accomplishment, and independence in production. He will unleash the mightiest economy on Earth, and all the world will be better for it. Trump will not be a political repeat.
All the left has to offer now is fear, guilt, condemnation, and the false narrative that social justice is achieved by soul-destroying sameness.
Let’s be done with that, once and for all.
Instead, let’s build something special. Let’s have some fun.
