How Miserable They’ll Be

How much damage can Donald Trump do to the Left in four years’ time?  Well, a normal Republican president spends his four years basically trying to hold his own against the Deep State while all the Democrat cabinet officers take a four-year hiatus working in well-funded NGOs and cushy media jobs.  And when the Democrats get back into the White House, they’ve had four years to map out the next wave of progressive boondoggles.

But Donald Trump is not your father’s Republican.  He’s taking a wrecking ball to the US federal budget and firing everyone in sight.  And as for those well-funded NGOs, well he’s defunding them.  USAID was the first place Elon Musk went with DOGE.  All those government funded think tanks and color revolution incubators are going to dry up without the millions and billions of dollars of federal slush money to fund their depravity.  And even a bunch of left-wing “media” sites are going to be feeling the pinch without federal dollars.

And this time around even the mainstream media is hurting badly.  CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Politico and many others are laying off journalists and reporters by the hundred.  There probably won’t be any spots opening up for unemployed CIA, FBI, NSA and other directors on their staffs and even less place for all the generals and colonels about to find themselves pounding the pavement.

And the same goes for lobbying jobs for defense contractors, banks, green energy scammers and pharma companies.  The SEC and the FDA are going to crack down on the shenanigans, the green energy gravy train will be shut down and the DOD is going to be cancelling multi-billion-dollar weapons system contracts instead of starting new ones.

Put all that together and it spells disaster for the Left’s recession-proof game plan.  In fact, it also spells disaster for Washington DC in general.  Guess what happens to the national capitol if hundreds of thousands of jobs are cut and a trillion dollars is pulled out of the budget?

RECESSION!

Now, what would that look like?  It would mean the laid-off bureaucrats would disperse across the country like cockroaches looking for jobs they were qualified for.  But that’s the problem.  They’re really not qualified for anything useful.  They’re federal bureaucrats.  They have no skills and they’re used to being unaccountable to management.  No one would or could hire them.  Their resumes are radioactive and they have the mark of Cain on their foreheads.  Chances are they’ll end up in fast food or prostitution.

At the same time a reduction in the number of workers in DC will take its toll on the local businesses that support them; restaurants, clothes stores and gay bathhouses.  Just as the rest of the country will be benefiting from an economic upturn, the Greater Washington area will be plunged into economic stagnation.  Property values will plummet and crime will spiral out of control.  Knowing President Trump’s penchant for quick decisive action, I predict he will move his team to a new capitol at Mar-a-Lago and let the old capitol sink back into the swamp where it came from.

But seriously, we’re about to get a four-year vacation from IRS audits, antifa and BLM rioting, foreign wars, LGBTQ innovations (pronouns, rainbow paraphernalia, etc.), mask-wearing bureaucrats and runaway energy prices.  Four years of peace and quiet without the Left stirring up trouble will be like heaven itself.  Sure, I’m exaggerating how perfect the relief will be but still it’s going to be plenty good.  And one of the best things about it will be how miserable they’ll be.

How can you beat that?
