Crypto Hitlers, Everywhere!

A couple of things Trump should do:
1) Sue the sanctuary cities/states. This is blatant interference with national interests/laws.
2) Remove ban on sale of LNG/oil overseas
3) Replace Garland on day 1.
4) Get someone to investigate Bragg over illegal use of his office.
5) Close border
6) WTF with these Patriot Front false flag ops?

Here is my list of things that tipped various voters to Trump. Not all things did it for all voters.
Open borders & crime (and gov actually flying in illegals)
Boys in girls sports/locker rooms
Inflation
Hurricane Helene poor response
That squirrel
Being called Nazi & garbage one too many times
Blacks being lectured by Obama

Note that Trump increased his % in every demographic, every minority group. He won counties that had not gone repub in 100 yrs.

“The majority has spoken and they said they don’t care that much about democracy…”

Well, alrighty then, a room at St. Mary Bethlehem awaits.

I have a hankering for sesame prawn toast.

@Megaera, who said:

…I was a bit impressed by the notion that one of them had actually died of overwork and undersleep,

That is a shocking idea, but not nearly as unlikely as one dying from overthinking…

April Gillespie, anyone…? Or, any of the other myriad idiots involved in making Ukraine what it is today?

I could go on, but boredom would set in for all of us. The silly bugger who got himself killed in Benghazi was apparently one of the halfway honest ones, but I’ll be damned if I can say the same about the idiots in the higher levels of the State Department that consigned him to his fate, knowing how Islamic countries see open homosexuals.

@David,

A lot of these people have never actually met or realized that they’ve met “Trump voters…”, mostly because most sane Americans don’t eat, breathe, and sleep politically. The Democrat self-proclaimed “elite” doesn’t understand that the people they’re constantly insulting don’t actually share their beliefs, nor wear their politics on their sleeves. I’ve been there standing while gratuitous insults flowed, and then they looked around for affirmation, only to see multiple pairs of stony eyes and turned backs.

Which they then promptly fail to process correctly.

Most Americans treat their politics about the way they treat their religion; it’s your own damn business, and you believe what you believe. I don’t care; I’m not going to try and silence you, although I will argue the points you make that I think are insane. At least, when it appears you might be open to sane discussion.

Most Democrats are about the equivalent of Jehovah’s Witnesses or really persistent Mormon missionaries; they won’t leave you alone, they follow you home, and they will not stop arguing their points. This really pisses off a lot of actual Americans, who do not treat politics like their religion.

I mean, hell… I’m open to argument; show me a Democrat policy or position that works, and doesn’t break the bank? I’d vote for it.

Hasn’t been one of those in my lifetime, soooooo…

@David, who reiterated:

This came to mind.

It’s why they can’t comprehend losing an election; they have made themselves and their positions so toxic and intolerable that nobody will engage with them on their terms, and from that, they’ve extrapolated that they’re in the majority.

Most of the left is blind to consequence, because they don’t have the capacity to recognize it when it happens.

One of the reasons that “the Left” is so highly educated is that the sort of person who takes up those beliefs is at least somewhere along the autism scale; they’re educated because our system of education and selection has focused itself on their sort of mentation over everything else, and the entire environment from testing to matriculation is set up to benefit these purblind functional idiots. It’s a self-reinforcing circle of failure; they look out for each other, reinforce each other, and when they really f*ck something up bigly, they protect each other.

See what the EPA did to a few thousand miles of river, here in the US. In a rational world, the responsible parties would be fired and never hired to work in that field ever again. In our oh-so-smart tested and selected existence, the EPA actually promoted them and issued performance bonuses…

Another sign of the essential obtuseness of this sort of people? You, as a normal and reasonably intelligent person that hasn’t been indoctrinated with the cult of credentialed intellectual supremacy, ask the reasonable question of one of that tribe about whether maybe some consequences should have flowed forth from the vaunted “system”… They just stare at you as though you were quite mad; consequence is not for the anointed, nor is accountability.

The majority of these people are insane, and they’ve captured our government. Examine the whole “Spotted Owl” fiasco, here in the Pacific Northwest. Starting in the early 1990s, they started shutting down our timber industry to “protect” said owl.

How’d that work out? Well, after bankrupting innumerable small towns and businesses, the Spotted Owl is still endangered, and going down fast. Why? They’re being outcompeted by a better owl, the Barred Owl. Goddamn owls are virtually indistinguishable, fill the same roles, but it’s just that the Spotted variety is rather less good at owling than the Barred.

The “brights” in charge of all this? They’ve now begun contracting with hunters to cull and eliminate the Barred Owl across the Northwest.

Nobody questions any of this, within the bureaucracy. Because “credentials”.

They approach the hinterlands of this country like they’re synonymous with deepest, dankest Africa where cannibal tribes and lions roam at night, eating decent people. They actually know nothing, and project their own prejudices more than anything else

Canadians here will remember Rick Mercer’s Talking to Americans. For the Americans in the audience, Mercer travelled to small and mid-sized towns in the US and did man-on-the-street interviews, asking everyday Americans what they thought about fictional events in Canada that were disguised puns.

Right-Thinking Canadians loved the bit, because it showed that Americans, by and large, don’t know who the Canadian Minister of Finance is and are therefore unforgivably ignorant about Canada.

Clean the smug off your glasses and a very different picture emerges: a country of gregarious, friendly people who despite knowing nothing about the place are happy to congratulate Canada on building its first National Igloo or whatever. And whose default assumption is that strangers are basically good and would have no reason to make you look foolish in public.

(In interviews years later, Mercer would admit that they had to do an awful lot of editing to get the few scenes they aired, because many of the people they interviewed knew enough about Canada to see through the joke)

If you go over to X/Twitter, all the leftoid types are going nuts calling anyone who voted for Trump all sorts of nasty names, and vowing violence and revenge against those inchaote “Trump Voter MAGA Extremists”.

What they don’t understand is how that comes across to the rest of us. I see what they’re saying, and all I can do is heave a sigh of relief that they’ve lost, won’t be in charge going forward, and I am just completely reinforced to never, ever vote for their causes going forward… Let alone, them.

They think they’re on the side of right; I (and a lot of others…) think they’re actually demonstrably insane. There won’t be a place for them going forward, because they’ve so thoroughly poisoned the well.

I don’t think this election is going to work out how anyone is thinking; I’m seeing a more centrist sane anti-insider situation happening, going forward. Presuming that Trump and his people are better than the current lot of autistic morons.

I’d probably be among the elect, were I of a mind. I have all the tools to be of their sort, in that I do really well on standardized tests and I am the sort of pedantic overthinker that they love to promote. The problem is I have actual self-awareness, and a full sense of what I don’t share with them… Which I’d define as a certain sort of common sense. I observe; I seek clarity in my observations, and I’m brutally honest about what I see to myself. This means I could never function in their sort of rarefied “elite” society; I’d wind up going out on a murder spree one fine morning, when I couldn’t take any more of the bullshit.

I’ve never suffered idiocy gladly; I know I’d probably eventually be driven into situational psychosis, not being able to do anything about the stupidity. This would lead, in turn, to some epic moment of large-scale violent nuttery that would likely make the record books.

A veritable Nostradamus, but he got the last line right.

I have a hankering for sesame prawn toast.

I had to look that up to see how to make it, and that does sound good! I have not seen it in Chinese/Asian restaurants here (that may be because I already know what I want and rarely look at a menu in a Chinese restaurant anymore…)

They all seem to drink Tito’s Vodka. I’m going to stay away from that sh!t.

Good choice, it is made from corn which means it is either unaged bourbon or a gasoline additive, and by the taste, probably the latter.

Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria.

Our betters, intellectual titans all, tell us what lies ahead.
