THE WAY I SEE IT by Don Polson Red Bluff Daily News 11/03/2020
Trump
wins (should win) a landslide
Local election day
endorsement (sorry about the tardiness) must go to Jerry Crow for the 5th
District supervisor post. I have served with him on the Republican Central
Committee and have no doubts about his unwavering adherence to the conservative
Republican principles shared by his constituents. His thoughtful, cogent
analysis would be a welcome addition to the Board of Supervisors.
As of today, 80 million
(including the Polsons) have voted early. This column has made no pretense of
supporting anything other than the reelection of President Trump, with vigor. Yes,
our county’s vote total is but a rounding error compared to the heavily
populated counties and cities down south.
Our votes become more
important for the House of Representatives—please vote for Doug LaMalfa—and
Assembly—James Gallagher deserves your vote. Express your allegiance as a
conservative, a Republican and a citizen.
It takes no great insight
to conclude that hatred for President Donald Trump seethes among 1) the
highly-educated-but-devoid-of-common-sense academic class, 2) their captive
audiences of mush-filled brains sitting in classrooms lacking either
information or courage to speak up in disagreement, 3) the
government/bureaucratic class of (often unionized) employees and staffers, 4)
urban-dwelling arrogant progressives (and news media) looking down on
“deplorable” Trump supporters, and 5) the vast-but-thinly-dispersed creative
and performing arts cliques that practically worship the ground walked on by
Hollywood elites.
Their collective
awareness of the policies on which President Trump has made so much “progress,”
so many accomplishments—is so limited by aversion to Trump’s positive
contributions that they cannot even make rational counter-arguments. When
confronted by facts—record job growth, border security, rebuilding the military
while determined to not use it, destroying ISIS, bipartisan criminal justice
reform, energy independence and conservative judges—they mentally dismiss the
importance while their emotions rage against imagined abuses. Hold up a doll,
ask them to point to where Trump hurt them.
Those accomplishments,
if by a Democrat, would let him or her sail to reelection. That would presume
that, as a party, there was support for jobs, borders, military, fighting
terrorists, energy production and originalist judges. It is precisely because
so many Republicans have ignored those issues, except when seeking our votes,
that Trump was able to cut through the status quo, institutionalized lethargy
of the Republican Party, dispatch the “also rans,” and then actually do something
to advance what his voters sent him to do.
Good riddance to the
RINOs—who couldn’t fill a cruise ship and never supported either Trump or the
issues he ran on—calling themselves “The Lincoln Project”; they own a “badge of cowardice” for never putting
policies into action. Their hypocrisy screams because, before Trump, they all
offered fine words and intellectual support for Republican principles, only to
sheepishly acquiesce to the leftist, Democrat resistance of the swamp in D.C.
Actual statements why
some “walked away” from the Democratic cult, or plantation, if you wish
(walkawaycampaign.com): “It’s about time that we awaken from the slumber,” “I
got hoodwinked by the liberals and the Democrats,” “A lot of the things I was
being told were not correct,” “I thought they were a party of love,” “The left
has become or is extremely dehumanizing,” “I started realizing that the
Democratic party was not my friend in anything,” “The Democrats they are
twisted, they are corrupt,” “They don’t mind lying and cheating their way into
positions of power,” “We don’t want what the media is trying to sell us;”
“It’s like mass
brainwashing,” “Back in the day, there used to be integrity in journalism,”
“Everybody loved Donald Trump until he became a candidate,” “I can no longer
tolerate the platform of the Democratic Party,” “The hypocrisy that they show…”
“They became a hate group,” “The anti-American sentiment on the left,” “They
are the epitome, the definition of fascism,” “They are not into logic, just emotions.”
That is just one-half of two minutes of testimonials. Think about it. Wake up.
Earline Hart Andrews, a
110-year-old Texas voter (with her 90-year-old niece, Rayline Binion),
interviewed by Fox News from Fort Worth, TX): “I voted for our present
president, President Trump.” Rayline: “I voted for President Donald Trump and
have never been as proud of a president as I have been this year; he has
withstood the old slog of the liberals and the Democrats with grace, dignity
and keeping all of his promises to the American people, of freedom and law and
order, and I’m very proud of him and very proud to tell America that my son and
I both voted for President Donald Trump.”
From the Council of
Economic Advisers: “In the 7.5 years through 2016, the United States economy
experienced a historically weak economic recovery, rising inequality, and
increased, though slowly falling, poverty. In contrast, in the 3 years before
the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans experienced unprecedented gains
in personal income and wealth, as pro-growth policies raised living standards
while ameliorating the gap in wealth inequality for the first time since 1992.
“The pro-growth
policies of the Trump Administration bolstered demand for labor, bringing
workers off the sidelines, leading to strong wage and income gains for American
workers throughout the economy. These gains disproportionately benefited
historically disadvantaged groups that experienced relatively weaker growth in
the 2009-16 expansion period. This is marked by the fact that in the first 3
years of the Trump Administration, the typical family’s real income surged by
over $6,000—to the highest level on record—and real wages of the lowest earners
grew twice as fast as those of the highest earners.
Vote like your personal
economic success depends on it—because it does.
