America's Golden Age

America's Golden Age
“I will restore peace in the world and I will rescue the American dream,” the 45th president promised. “Together, we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country, and we will launch the most extraordinary economic boom the world has ever seen.” “This will be the golden age of America,” Trump said of what he has in store for the country, if elected on Tuesday.

Fox News has just projected Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 election. 

Now that I am fully awake it is time to fill in this article. Trump won a clear victory in the presidential election over Vice President Kamala Harris, likely including in all seven battleground states. He also won the popular vote. Trump campaigned on sealing the border and deporting those who Biden allowed in, across-the-board tariffs, oil drilling, regulatory rollbacks, tax cuts, and drastic foreign policy changes. During his 20-minute victory address Trump did not mention any democrat and called for healing:

“It's time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us,” he said.  “It's time to unite ... success will bring us together.” 


Harris’s defeat was a rejection of both Biden’s performance as president and her own brief campaign as well as Obama's coalition based on identity politics.


Republicans have also won back the US Senate.  It is unclear which party will control the House. The Republican Party appeared to expand its electorate in meaningful ways, especially among Latino voters.

It is the greatest comeback in the history of US politics. The campaign is over. The country has been saved.

The vice president who will have to certify the election, wasn't able to make a statement last night.

I will be very interested to see what tone Democrats take after somehow losing an election they spent ungodly amounts of money, had the legacy media working full time pushing their narratives and to a guy who isn't that popular.  They really need to stop focusing on being moral scolds and start focusing on economic issues and what people actually care about. Calling people who people disagree with you garbage, Nazis and fascists and going into hysterics over a freaking joke from a warm up comedian only appeals to the hive minded. 

Nobody worried over rent cares about a joke.  That's for rich, bored people with nothing better to do to obsess over.

It won't be like last time. His aides have spent months planning for a second term and vetting potential appointees to ensure that his administration is staffed with loyalists rather than the establishment Republicans who were part of the resistance in his first term. He will have strong support from Senate Republicans this time as well.

In short there isn't much more the left can do.

Thanks to the Democrats destruction of the filibuster for presidential nominations and 52 or more Republican Senators, Trump won't have a problem with his  appointments.  Still not sure they will win the House or even have a working majority if they do though.  Though with Trump in charge I expect Republicans will not be as fractious as they have been and will instead operate more like Pelosi's Democrats and always vote together.

You are right. The Republican party has been changed forever. It is the party of working men and women of all races and religions. Last night was a victory of the common people over the elite.

It is understandable that Harris supporters are experiencing anger on the scale of defeat, but I feel like some will remain on that stage for the next four years and never embrace acceptance.

We can just hope they at least get out of the angewr stage.
