Two Weeks To Victory, Probably
We’re about two weeks out from what may be the most important election of our lifetime. It always seems to be the most important election of our lifetime, which is a real problem. Frankly, elections shouldn’t be that big a deal. They should be important. They should matter. But they should not be an existential crisis. Look back to 1996 when you had Bill Clinton running for reelection against legit war hero Bob Dole. We had that election, and nothing much changed. But pretty much ever since, it’s been crisis after crisis. It’s always the most important election because the left wants to lead America into a communist nightmare and probably a second Civil War.
So, this is serious. And if you’re serious, you have voted already, and if you have not, let me stop right here and tell you to get off your butt and go vote if you’re in one of those jurisdictions where you can. I voted. I wrote a column about voting. Vote right now. Don’t wait. Don’t risk an Election Day calamity keeping you from voting. Do it now. Bank your vote. Get it done.
Back to this column.
Understanding that this is serious, America is on pins and needles. The Democrats are pretending to believe their lies. They’re pretending that if Donald Trump wins, he will censor the news and social media, and use the military to oppress his enemies while waging lawfare upon them. This, of course, is the Democrat agenda. They will continue to do and accelerate all those things given the opportunity. They don’t have a platform. They just have projection.
It’s nice to know that, should he win, Trump will probably be less likely to embrace establishment traitors than he was the first time. He now has no illusions about the enemy, especially after they tried to frame him so they could lock him in prison for the rest of his life. Hopefully, he will wreak an unholy vengeance upon them. Time to cull their herd. There are a lot of bad people in government and outside as well, and it’s time for an accounting. A bunch need to be fired. Some need to go to jail. Others need to be hunted for sport. Some softcons will plead that Trump should forgo his righteous retribution and respect the norms, but it is unclear why he should respect the norms that existed 25 years ago as opposed to the norms that exist (or, rather, no longer exist) today. That’s the thing about the New Rules. For better or worse, they are the rules. Should Trump win, I am going to enjoy spending four years telling our enemies that I told them so.
It seems like Trump is going to win. That’s looking more likely every day that Kamala goes out and tosses a word salad, or insults Christians, or is baffled by questions about what she would do differently than our current alleged President. Her serial gaffe-making has turned Brat Summer into Splat Fall.
You can smell their panic. Kamala is frazzled. She’s not acting like someone who has nailed down the independents. She should be pivoting to mobilizing her base now. She should be in the “get out the vote” phase. But she’s still in the “Trying to talk people into voting for her” phase. Here, Trump has an advantage. Everybody knows who Trump is.
Moreover, everybody knows how good the early part of Trump’s first term was. Democrat attempts to push back on that are kind of hilarious. You have Barack Obama claiming that the good stuff about Trump’s economy was all him – it just manifested after eight years, and he was out of office running around with his rich friends. But you also have Kamala telling us how Trump’s reign was so terrible that during the last four years, they haven’t been able to fix it. So, basically, Trump stole Obama’s glory, and also, there was no glory. I’m not sure how that works, but they’re giving it a shot. And I think they’re missing.
This has been a campaign about vibes, which are definitely vibing to Trump. Kamala got a two-month tongue bath from the regime media, but she grates on people. The Kamala Effect is especially pronounced in young men. Remember, these guys have spent their whole lives being hassled by mediocre women like Kamala Harris. These tiresome crones are incompetent, dumb, aggressively leftist, and utterly contemptuous of males and male energy. Still, they have run every institution that these young men have ever been a part of. These young men are going to come out to vote for Trump not because they’re sexist but because she hates them and Trump doesn’t.
We are now where I thought we would be in this race – at least when Biden punched out in July. We are not where I thought we would be a year ago. I thought Trump had a ceiling. I didn’t count on dementia and this blithering broad being so offensive to normal people that even some who didn’t like Donald Trump would embrace him. Harris bizarrely makes a huge deal out of turncoats like Dick and Liz Cheney and points to collaborators like Adam Kinzinger and the rest of the cast of “The Loathed Boat” as if they represent some sort of meaningful contingent of voters who are going to swing the election her way. In fact, the key voters are the ones who didn’t like Donald Trump before, largely because of his legendary trumpiness. Trump himself has gotten serious and restrained his worst impulses, and he’s hired a super-competent campaign team that has been running a fantastic operation. These have helped, but what really did it was Kamala Harris’s all-encompassing awfulness has driven people who once swore they would never vote for Donald Trump deep into MAGAland. That’s the cost of wanting to dump the Electoral College, pack the Supreme Court, take our guns, castrate our kids, and leave the Israelis defenseless in the face of the semi-human hordes trying to murder them.
Yeah, this is an important election, and the people who have come to Trump after rejecting Trump have demonstrated a seriousness of purpose and patriotism that we need to celebrate. Those who abandoned the Republican Party, mostly because we rejected them over their lengthy track record of failure, are scum who put their personal envy of Trump over their country. You can’t despise them enough.
And while it looks like we’re going to win, this is the time when we are actually most vulnerable. We’re not vulnerable to Kamala – she’s too dumb to generate an October surprise, and there’s no key event coming up that will allow her to change the trajectory of this race. The risk is complacency. The risk is our people saying, “Hey, we got this; I don’t need to vote, much less get my family, friends, and neighbors to vote.” That’s how we can still lose.
So go vote. Do it now.
