Trump won the election and seeing the Democrat and globalist meltdowns over it is quite funny. But, as they said in South Park, the most important thing after a disaster is finding out whose fault it is.
Aside from the near-universal stubbornness of every mainstream news network besides Fox to call the election after it was very obvious Trump won, my favorite article about Trump’s victory comes from CNN:
Donald Trump will be America’s 47th president, CNN projected Wednesday, after mounting the most momentous comeback in political history that will hand him massive, disruptive power at home and will send shockwaves around the world.
Four years after leaving Washington as a pariah, following his attempt to overturn the 2020 election to stay in office, Trump’s victory defied two assassination attempts, two presidential impeachments, his criminal conviction and many other criminal charges.
Hitler has won (again) and will annex Poland no doubt.
Democrats have every reason to be upset for reason I laid out in my previous post insisting that Trump wasn’t going to win:
To be frank, rather than planning what to do when they win, Republicans should be planning what to do if they lose. Elon Musk said to vote as if your life depends on it, and for once I agree with him about something. I don’t think American conservatives understand how much trouble they’re in. Democrats are in the endgame of transforming the USA into a uni-party state. Their open borders migration scheme guarantees a permanent Democrat majority that will turn even red states like Texas blue. Furthermore, the Democrats are the Forever War party. They have firm control over the military, FBI and intelligence agencies… the so-called Deep State.
If Republicans don’t win today, they will never win again. Truly, I don’t understand how so many Republicans could be so oblivious to how they have lost control over almost every institution that matters. I don’t see how, after years of rooting out the so-called “white supremacy,” the military and law enforcement aren’t all firmly in the pocket of the Democratic party.
Democrats were in their endgame just to have a total upset in the final hour. Trump won the election with a crushing victory in both the Electoral College and the popular vote, leading Kamala Harris by about five million votes. This is a self-inflicted defeat to an extent, but Trump has apparently succeeded in transforming the Republican Party and the American Right.
Here’s some excerpts from article from June written by Michael Lind at the New York Times:
Can Trumpism outlast Donald Trump? The selection of Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate suggests that the answer is yes.
Even the most successful political parties are coalitions of odd bedfellows and competing interests. But parties risk decline if they cannot attract new voters or if they suppress internal debates. The Republican Party Mr. Trump inherited in 2016 had been defined by free market ideology and neoconservative foreign policy for a generation: From Ronald Reagan through both Bushes to Mitt Romney, mainstream conservatism pursued a narrow agenda of tax and entitlement cuts at home and wars of regime change abroad. Mr. Trump’s election was a clear if unexpected breaking of that mold. The only question was whether his legacy would dissipate whenever he eventually left politics or give birth to a true and lasting political movement…
Mr. Trump won the Republican nomination and then the presidency in 2016 by rejecting almost everything those two groups stood for. Unlike other Republican candidates, he had denounced the Iraq war and the toleration of illegal immigration favored by some business interests and promised not to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. But once in Washington, with no one waiting in the wings to fill thousands of posts in the White House and executive agencies, he was forced to rely on Reagan and Bush veterans, many of whom quietly opposed his policies.
To provide an alternative to the Republican establishment, a new counterestablishment on the right has emerged since Mr. Trump’s 2016 victory. Variously called populists, national conservatives or postliberals, these mostly young dissidents worked at think tanks like Oren Cass’s American Compass; journals like American Affairs, Compact and Tablet; advocacy groups like the America First Policy Institute; and American Moment, founded by Saurabh Sharma and Nick Solheim to supply a new, more populist and nationalist generation to replace legacy Reaganites and corporate lobbyists.
One of my biggest complaints about Trump in his first term was that he was indeed basically working alone and accomplished little that wasn’t immediately reversed by Biden on his first day in office. Trump’s tenure in office saw a lot of executive orders, but unlike true legislation, an executive order can be wiped away by a second executive order, which is exactly what Biden did (even as he famously muttered he didn’t know what he was signing).
In the aftermath of the election, left-leaning media are starting to blame Biden for the Trump win, which is pretty funny. It’s not Kamala’s fault for being a deeply unpopular and unqualified candidate and it’s not her supporters’ fault for pushing such a bad candidate. No, it’s Biden’s fault for failing to drop out sooner… but not the media’s fault for covering up his cognitive decline for so long.
Or maybe the real reason Democrats lost is because they murdered P’nut the squirrel.
So in the past six months we’ve seen Democrats coup their own president and Trumpists gain power in the Republican party, pushing aside the neo-cons and Reaganites.
One thing I noticed is that Trump’s landside win surprised people more outside the USA than within, which makes me wonder if I’m already out of touch with what’s going on back in the homeland. It’s been my longstanding belief that expats aren’t a good source of information and maybe that turned out to be true. But maybe it is also indicative of another feature of the Democratic party I’ve been talking about for a while.
I’ll write more tomorrow, my thoughts are still a bit scrambled.

Let’s be lucid, Trump won because they allowed it.
there are two things you need to rig an election:
1) uncontested control down to the grassroots level
2) a candidate popular enough to at least hypothetically win without cheating.
You can fake a few thousand votes here and there in strategic places where that matters, but not millions and millions and millions
What if Kamala (an obvious simpleton) was chosen with the intention of loosing?
I am in the USA and was also surprised by the result. But the globalists have the administration until January 20th and can still make some moves.
Also, there have been 45 presidents, not 47. Trump is the 44th one and Biden the 45th. Counting a president who leaves after one term, then returns later twice is inane and this is a pet peeve of mine.
