In my last post I said I would be shocked if Trump won the election, and I am. The scale of his victory was astonishing, far exceeding anything that I had imagined.

With the daily drumbeat of negative news stories about him compared to the glowing write-ups of anything Harris-related, not to mention the ever-growing pile of criminal charges against him, left me wondering how in the world he'd ever be able to eke out any sort of "win" at all.

Yet he won. Big.

The threat he poses to the military industrial complex (MIC) as I covered in my prior post, helped to explain why the pushback against him was so furious. Like JFK and FDR, here we have a self-made man with his own money who doesn't have to kowtow to anybody for funding and such, and only has to answer to the people.

Below is an example of a person performing the kowtow. Trump would never do this for any world leader:

Like JFK, a president who can't be controlled can be considered a dangerous thing in some quarters, which is one of the main reasons I wondered if he'd be "allowed" (so to speak), to win again at all.

How we Got Here

I have MAGA friends who are very happy today, and in a way that's a good thing, because if he'd lost, we'd have never heard the end of it. I am excited about Bobby (RFK Jr.) joining the administration in a health role, and I hope they let him run hog-wild. Like many others, I like him, and it's good to know that a Kennedy will be walking through the halls of the White House again.

Trump pulled away numbers-wise so quickly, that it felt like 2016 all over again. He EXCEEDED the numbers from 2016 and 2020 in state after state, not only winning the presidency, but taking the Senate and possibly the House along with him.

If you live in the eastern part of my state (Pennsylvania), you can understand why so many people like myself were drawn by his promise to tackle the illegal immigration problem.

My city and many others around, have been DESTROYED by the immigrants who have taken everything for themselves and only care about their own, leaving actual American citizens homeless, unemployed, and out in the cold as many of our homeless military veterans can attest to.

The shootings, killings, robberies and gang violence that was almost unknown before their arrival, has now become commonplace. Many people I know have fled to other areas where Americans are still in the majority. Blacks, Whites and Asians are taking their money and fleeing, leaving the immigrants to pick over that carcass that's left and leaving them shoot and rob each other, aft so many business owners have sold their shops to them at a loss just to escape the daily violence.

If you wonder why Trump won here, it was because of three reasons; (1) violent illegal immigrants and the wide-open border, (2) sky-high prices and unemployment, (3) the weapons and financial giveaways to the Ukraine and the endless, endless, endless, DEMANDS from Vladimir Zelensky (everyone's tired of him here, just ask anybody).

That's why so many people (democrats, republicans, and independents) here, turned my county red and voted for Donald Trump.

The democrats who used to be known as the party of the working man, somehow allowed the republicans who just 20 years ago were known as (the 'party of the rich'), to come in and steal blue-collar working-class voters right out from underneath them.

They let themselves to be painted as coastal elites and rarely fought back. And whenever they were faced with a democrat front-runner who actually CONNECTED with those blue-collar voters that were slowly peeling away from the party (Howard Dean in 2004 and Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020) they ruthlessly destroyed them, running establishment candidates in their place.

Let's hope that the democrats learn lessons from this loss. We don't need word-salad candidates who talk over the heads of working-class voters while ignoring the issues that they care about. The democrats need a bold leader like FDR (Franklin D. Roosevelt) who connected with the people and fought like hell for them. President Roosevelt "got it" and knew how to communicate effectively in order to get shit done.

I'll leave you with this to show you what democrats used to be like.

They don't make Democrats Like that Anymore!

In 1944 during the depths of World War II, Sewell Avery, the Chairman of retail giant Montgomery Ward, refused to honor labor agreements with the National War Labor Board. His actions threatened production from his plants that were related to the war efforts when the US was fighting a two-front world war. After ignoring a second order from the war board, what do you think President Roosevelt did?

He had the Chairman carried out of his facility by the National Guard and ordered the Secretary of War to seize his plants for use in the war effort at a crucial time during the war. FDR couldn't afford to play around with the future of the nation at stake. Can you imagine a democrat having the gumption to do that today? They'd be far more concerned about addressing the rebel Chairman by his proper pronoun.

Below is a photo of Avery being removed by US troops:

FDR was HATED by the elites even though he was rich himself. He was as close to a democrat version of Donald Trump as we've ever seen. He didn't give a damn what the wealthy class thought as they fought his New Deal every step of the way, and his policies helped to pull the nation out of the depths of the Depression and guiding America to victory in World War II.

That's why the people elected him to 4 terms as US President.

That's the kind of effective leadership we need today. Trump listened to the people and clearly let them know that he understood their problems and vowed to tackle them. That's why he won.

He continued to fight after the assassination attempt, and wasn't afraid to sit across from Joe Rogan. The establishment threw everything but the kitchen sink at him and he endured it all. I hope the democrats come back from this loss and connect once again with the working man. The nation will be better off for it.
