A Reflection on the Election

I felt a deep sense of relief and gratitude on Wednesday that the election was over; and equally relieved that President Trump’s victory was decisive enough that the country won’t be put through endless election challenges and legal disputes.  My great gratitude is due to the fact that I believe our country will be placed on a much sturdier, safer, and prosperous path going forward. 

While many prominent pollsters were wrong about which candidate would win the election many polls prior to the election were accurate regarding the issues Americans were most concerned about: the invasion of illegals on our southern border as well as the economic/inflationary suffering created by a decline in real wages coupled with the high cost of daily goods like eggs, bacon, milk, gas and the impossibility of purchasing a home due to high interest rates.  

This is why “saving Democracy” failed because most Americans saw only a few actual lawbreakers on Jan 6 who have been stoutly punished for their actions, following a riot that lasted less than a day, followed by the peaceful transfer of power.  Many Americans may still wonder why the Summer of Love 2020 “peaceful” rioters and looters who burned cities and attacked citizens, or Hillary Clinton or James Comey or Andrew McCabe or Peter Strzok responsible for years of Deep State spying and the Russia Hoax and suppression of the Hunter Biden Laptop, were never arrested or prosecuted.  The other million plus people in D.C. on Jan 6—including some of my own family members and close friends—are our neighbors who were that single day guilty of nothing more than singing, praying, and cheering for President Trump.  Certainly not the Armageddon portrayed by our so-called media. 

I think the abortion issue failed because female voters most concerned about access to abortion live in Blue states and already have and never lost access to it.   I think the Transgender confusion issue also damaged Democrat election prospects because most parents don’t like the fact that their son could wake up one day, think he is a girl and then without the parents’ knowledge have puberty blockers and or surgical mutilation performed on his sex organs.  Trump will also end men in women’s sports and boys in girls’ bathrooms or locker rooms.

I also think parents haven’t forgotten being demonized at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists” by the Biden Administration when they objected to the dishonest Covid masking and forced vaccinations of their children; to say nothing of the pornographic reading material their second grader could be exposed to in the public-school library. 

The Woke agenda has also been rejected.  We are a predominantly center-right country and while we may strongly disagree with each other at times about an issue, at our core most of us believe that the best way to resolve our differences is to “argue it out.”  Very few of us believe that the answer to our disagreements is for social media giants like Facebook and Google to cancel, censor and silence our fellow Americans.

I also believe the unfair and punitive manner in which President Trump was targeted—including the raid of his home in Mar-A-Lago over some documents he alone could declassify—by numerous states with flimsy legal charges, the large majority of which have now been dismissed or disproven, backfired.  Many rightly viewed this lawfare was occurring against Trump simply because he was the leading candidate to defeat the incumbent president.  Some may also have understandably felt that if the federal government can so aggressively target and attempt to destroy someone as prominent and wealthy as President Trump, it can go after them. 

I am also convinced that the courage President Trump displayed after the first assassination attempt when he exhorted the nation to “fight, fight, fight,” inspired millions.

President Trump’s second term holds great promise.

He will immediately close our southern border, including finding and deporting all criminal illegals.  He will unshackle the American oil and gas industry from the Climate Change insanity, thereby tapping into our enormous domestic oil and gas reserves, creating significant growth.  He will make permanent his 2017 Tax Cuts which will explode the economy, lower inflation, and ultimately raise incomes.  Finally, even those who don’t support Trump realize that his presence as Commander and Chief will calm the world. 

As always, we should pray unceasingly for our nation because we, and it, remain the “last best hope of man on earth.”
