As IF Times

Donald Trump will go down in history as the only man to have ever won 3 national elections. As the results emerged last night, it became clear that the message he has been promoting resonated with an increasingly large swath of voters.

However, even among the media who were notionally pro Trump and certainly among many conservatives, there was still only guarded enthusiasm as everyone is residually scarred by the sudden change in voter numbers in 2020 when Trump had also apparently secured the requisite numbers for victory. The Charlie Brown, Lucy, football scenario lingered in their minds.

There is a scene in the 1983 comedy film, Yellowbeard, in which a blind beggar asks for some food from a Pirate.  The Pirate tells the blind man that he can have some chicken and proceeds to hand him a chunk of bread.  The blind beggar thanks him profusely for the ‘chicken’ and scurries away.  I’m reminded of this scene because of the masterful job of gas-lighting that the left have managed to impose over their years in power.  Regular people were made to doubt even what was clearly evident in front of them in favor of the narrative coming from the left.  Even very conservative media and many people in the general population were not ready to believe the news of a Trump victory.  They had become programmed to become cynical and fearful of optimism after years of a constant barrage of propaganda. Relentless browbeating from all fronts made people accept almost anything as truth.  It almost worked.

Donald Trump refused to be beaten.  He and a very small core population did not succumb to the narrative pushed daily from the left.  While at first marginalized and scorned, his persistence of message gathered more and more believers as it became more and more evident that the nation was collapsing badly on all fronts; economically, culturally, politically and upon the world stage.   As we all know by now, his message of optimism gathered more and more adherents during his campaign, even as there were several assassination attempts on his life. His stature as a hero, one who would literally put his life on the line for citizens, resonated with a growing number of people disenchanted with the inauthentic heroes posted by the left. He was the real guy. He wasn’t manufactured.  Rational people can sense authenticity and his support exploded across all demographics.   Perseverance in the face of adversity is as an American trait as it gets and Trump personified this. People love and identify with stories of overcoming bullies. Detractors could only point nebulously to his unlikeable personality.  Can’t please everyone.

But despite the left’s gas-lighting, their balkanization of the population into their own interest groups and the pleading of ‘celebrities’, the people could feel empathy with Trump’s message.  At the base of it all, most people just want to be left alone to pursue a life with their families. They don’t want to be told how to comport themselves, how to look after their families and to be taxed at every turn.  They didn’t want their tax dollars spent on distant wars, for questionable causes and for illegal entrants.  They reject all the ‘isms’ imposed upon them.  The problem was always that they did not have anyone to strongly champion their cause. They could see the bullying by the left in their attempts to imprison and bankrupt both Trump and his supporters and even exposed him to physical harm.  Trump’s steadfast refusal to back down struck an enormous chord with people who needed a real champion.  This message resonated with some very influential people such as Elon Musk, Robert  Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, all former Democrats who came to support Trump’s vision for America.  They recognized the dangerous path that the nation was on and they chose to support decency for the future.   Decency is not abstract.  It is not what a celebrity tells you it is.  It is comportment by oneself that is performed even when no one else is aware of it but you.  Most people know this and they see that decency in Trump.

The reality is that the US is the only place left in the world in which freedom of speech and of actions are uniquely celebrated and encouraged.  Every other nation in the world has minor to severe restrictions on what their citizens are allowed to do…including all of the notional free countries of the West. The hysterical handwringing from the left on a potential tyrannical regime clearly disregards those 3 recent tyrannical years of forced vaccinations, masking, confinement and restricted travelling enforced by police against people’s wills.

Finally, the euthanizing of P’Nut the squirrel was a clarion call for people who were enraged by bureaucratic tyranny imposed by the state at all levels.  The lack of judgement in so many facets of people’s lives demonstrated by this cruel event probably prompted even the most cynical to vote Trump.  If there’s one tyrannical edict I’d like to see mandated by the incoming administration it would be that people need to be rational and to think for themselves.  The time for groupthink is over.

The Democratic candidate running to become the next President of the United States could not have been made up by a work of fiction. Teams of professional writers could not have come up with the comedy gold offered by the extemporaneous utterances of Joe Biden.  Joe Biden is a caricature of himself.

His record of 47 years of public service doesn’t exactly exude a record of thoughtful and effective public service.  As someone pointedly observed, Joe has been on the wrong side of every policy issue he has ever backed.  It doesn’t help that he’s been a Democrat all of these years since that explains away most of his poor legislative worldview.

But now, once again, he’s thrown his figurative hat into the ring to become the leader of the free world.  At this point in the process, people will have had a chance to assess his life’s record of work of 47 years working exclusively in government employment.  Voters can scrutinize his policies and their resulting effect on their lives.  Interestingly enough, there’s enough videotape of his impassioned arguments for any number of issues that he’s championed over the years which will show him decidedly on both sides of those issues. 

And this is why Joe’s not known as much for his intellectual gifts as he is for being likeable.  How can you not like a guy who is for everything and anything?  Recently however, Joe’s had to come out and stand definitively for or against some pretty core issues that affect the lives of Americans. Things such as whether or not they would be okay with being beat up in their streets, accosted in their homes, having their businesses looted and burned; simple stuff.

While it rarely happens, when Biden speaks to the public and takes questions, his appearances draw the crowds who are there only to sadistically witness the latest verbal train wreck.  Every session is like an episode of Jeopardy.  Vegas has an active over/under betting line on how many times he says, ‘hey man’ during a speech.

It’s pretty clear to any observer that Joe’s convictions on any topic are as flimsy as his tortured rhetoric.  You can virtually see his handlers standing just a few feet away ready to squirrel him offstage to be replaced by a sign stating that “we are experiencing technical difficulties”.  This can be explained away of course by his age; but upon looking back on some of his old speeches, it may not be just age.  He may really be that vapid.

So the point of the discussion is this: Pollsters regularly claim that either the incumbent Donald Trump or the contender Joe Biden is leading in their polls.  Those polls always show an ‘undecided’ vote.  We can state categorically that there is no such thing as an undecided vote; especially with all that’s happened in the last 6 months.  Only two possibilities exist.  One is that ‘undecided’ means they told the pollster to piss off, or that two, those responding are genuine morons.

It is impossible for any rational person to have lived through the past 6 months of the nation’s existence and have no opinion on who would make the best leader for the next 4 years.  It’s not exactly Sophie’s choice.

Few people that I know of (in fact none), want to wake up in world where an avowed Marxist and racist organization sets the tone for national policy; where the nation can be shut down for an indefinite time because of some wacko medical wonks; and where the President of the nation needs an English interpreter every time he speaks, even though it’s his only spoken language.

If such a thing as an ‘undecided’ voter actually exists, it’s far better off for everyone if they don’t vote.  These are the idiots who are tortured by chocolate or vanilla at Homer’s. If people are still vacillating over whether Joe is their guy given his 47 year record of incompetence, they should not be allowed to influence the lives of people who are not so otherwise mentally challenged. For these lyin’ dog faced pony soldiers,  it means that Darwinism is at a low ebb.
