Why Trump won

I am sitting back watching, listening to, and reading all of the gnashing of teeth and finger pointing on the Left. It is incredible to me that all of these adults in Hollywood, the Mainstream Media, academia, corporate America, Wall Street, Washington DC think tanks, etc. cannot figure out the simple and plainly evident reasons why Kamala lost and Trump won.

Here we go:

First, the Democrat Party has abandoned America and Americans. It is an anti-America political party, openly advocating for illegal immigrants over our own citizens, and for places like Ukraine and its border over America and our border. No matter how much the MSM and academia may propagandize the American people, there will still be a majority of us whose survival instincts are just naturally stronger than the utopian dream state.

Second, Democrat Party policies are so obviously self-destructive and financially unsustainable, that again, a majority of Americans across every racial and income class can smell trouble ahead. When hundreds of billions of dollars are given to Ukraine to fight a nonstop unwinnable war, and yet there is no money to help fellow Americans hit by destructive hurricanes, a lot of our people are going to get mad. Government exists for one reason: To serve We, The People. That is it. And when government becomes destructive of these ends…well, you know the rest of that Constitutional text. Under these conditions, voting for a guy like Trump is just a natural, visceral reaction by Americans who still feel American, regardless of their party association.

Third, Democrat Party policies generally suck crap and are unfair. America is the world’s great meritocracy, and yet Kamala represented a shift to officially rewarding people for their skin color and sexual behavior, not for how good they are at flying a plane. A majority of Americans are still merit-oriented. They want to do well by working hard and making responsible decisions, and they sure as hell do not want to see their tax money (taken from us by government force) given to people who neither work hard nor have put anything into the system we share.

Fourth, Democrat Party identity policies unnaturally pit Americans aginst one another, as opposed to unifying us as a single people under a single flag. Trump represents the founding vision of America, which people of good will embrace. When I have said to black men “You are my brother in America, in America’s promise and opportunity,” they know I mean it. Kamala was against that kind of brotherhood.

Fifth, the Biden-Harris Administration turned the federal government against the people of America, instead of using it to help us. Clearly gearing up to create a single-party nation with a vast bureaucratic network of forever citizen control, i.e. a totalitarian state, the Biden-Harris federal spy and law enforcement agencies became openly antagonistic and threatening toward everyday Americans doing everyday citizen things that had never before been characterized as wrong or bad or illegal.

And yet these Christians, engaged parents of schoolchildren, law-abiding gun owners and hunters, even Amish farmers, were heavily targeted by federal agencies with super heavy-handed treatment. Just going successfully through the lawless law enforcement process was punishment enough. Are readers aware that there are still January 6th political prisoners suffering in brutal prison conditions without having yet had their “speedy” trials? Well, enough Americans have been outraged by this lawless behavior to vote on this issue alone.

Sixth, Americans hate a bully, and the Mainstream Media (MSM) has been the biggest bully of all. Watching Senator Vance or President Trump simply try to get a word in with openly hostile and very rude “reporters” bothers fair-minded people everywhere. Only sadistic and sick-minded people enjoy watching people get beat up and picked on, and yet at almost every turn the MSM has beat up and picked on Republicans and conservatives, while artificially ignoring the very real failures of Democrat Party officials. Fair-minded people have had enough of the MSM double standard, and Americans are increasingly turning to alternative media and social media that do not censor private opinions. And so, the MSM and social media companies have been squeezing harder and ever more losing their grip on information flow, while simulatenously alienating Americans.

I could probably list another four or five reasons for why Kamala lost this election, but I am out of energy on this. Americans are fundamentally against socialist utopianism and for hard work. Kamala represents oppressive socialism and Trump represents free markets, free choices, free opportunity as much as you want.

If Democrats want to win more of these national contests, they are going to have to become American again. Especially after an election integrity law is passed within the first 90 days of Trump’s presidency, which will greatly cut into the main way that Democrats have won recent elections.
