It is Morning Again in America

The title refers to a 1984 Ronald Reagan ad, described here, that helped him win 49 states.

It is commonly said that Republicans cannot win the popular vote, but they have now gotten over 50% in 5 of the last 12 presidental elections, and the Democrats only 3 times. In 4 cases, no one got a majority.

About 80% of the news media I have consumed in the last year has been anti-Trump. I read the indictments, newspaper articles, blogs, tweets, etc. This election was Good v Evil.

Kamala Harris really was a terrible candidate. She was the lowest IQ and lowest competence candidate in memory. She was the most extreme leftist. She was unable or unwilling to define her agenda. All she would say that she was pro-abortion and not Trump.

She was also the most divisive. She was anti-man, anti-white, anti-democracy, and favoring the prosecution of her political enemies. If she had been a White man with the same record, she would have done a lot worse.

The Democrat DEI faction wanted to get a DEI candidate nominated without going through primaries. NBC News reported a year ago:

Republicans float a quiet conspiracy theory that Biden won't be on the ballot ...

Though no incumbent president has declined to seek a second term since Lyndon Johnson in 1969, there is an unfounded conversation among a faction on the political right that goes something like this: Democratic power brokers will intervene at the last minute to replace a weakened 80-year-old Biden with someone else as the party’s nominee.

“So here’s the scenario that I think is perhaps the most likely and most dangerous,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said on his podcast last month. “In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.”

“I view this as a very serious danger,” he said.

That is what they did, but with Harris instead of Obama. It is funny how they thought Michelle Obama would be a more credible candidate than Harris. It is also funny how the press blames right-wingers for conspiracy theories, even when the theories are completely correct.

I spoke to various professionals who said that they had never voted Republican in their lives, but had voted for Trump that day due to his support — in their words — “for the Jews.” ...

By any objective standards, Elon Musk is a great man of history, who is influencing the course of human civilisation for generations to come. As one party-goer told me, “He caught a fucking rocket with mechanical chopsticks.” ...

As the final results came in that night, it became clear that what I witnessed in New York was playing out across the nation. The election wasn’t just a victory for Trump. It was a victory for a way of seeing the world that many thought dead: one where individual achievement matters, where male ambition serves a purpose, and where great men still shape the course of history.

Update: From the Harris concession:

The adage is, "Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars."

I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here’s the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant billion of stars.

Makes no sense. If you fill the sky with light, then you cannot see the stars.
