Has it already been a year since that marvelous day? It certainly went fast. And how has the world changed? Well, Hillary Clinton isn\u2019t in jail. Liberal judges are still victimizing normal Americans for trying to be normal Americans. There\u2019s no big beautiful wall on the southern border. And the New York Times hasn\u2019t gone out of business. So, we\u2019re not in heaven for sure.<\/p>\n

But the world has definitely changed and there\u2019s no going back. A very significant part of the right knows that the GOP establishment is a sham. These people know now that Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan aren\u2019t interested in preserving conservative values in America. They are only interested in preserving their hold on power in Washington. It has become crystal clear that the GOP establishment and the Never-Trumpers in the media are much more interested in maintaining their monopoly on right wing voters than actually doing anything to make the country a better place for those voters. With respect to immigration, trade, jobs and leftist cultural attacks they are indistinguishable from Chuck Schumer and the New York Times. And these awakened voters won\u2019t ever forget what they\u2019ve learned. They say knowledge is power and it is. But there\u2019s more to it than that. Just knowing why things happen the way they do banishes the confusion that leads to despair. You\u2019re not always blind-sided by events. It allows you to plan ahead and avoid pain and protect yourself and those you care about. It allows you to know what is possible and avoid trying to do what can\u2019t be done. It lets you be more at peace and it makes you more effective.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has given us the example of someone who doesn\u2019t let the Left dictate the terms of engagement. He rejects their framing of events and uses their own methods against them. He has become the World\u2019s Greatest Troll. Watching how day after day, week after week, every one of their pronouncements of the end of the Trump presidency turns into a nothing burger has shown me that once people stop believing fake news the Fake News Media loses almost all its power and just becomes a laughing stock.<\/p>\n

Of course, candidate Trump was wrong about one thing he said. I am definitely not tired of winning. In fact, I\u2019m getting impatient again. I\u2019d really like to hear of another Supreme Court appointment and that tax bill passed and an executive order lowering the legal immigration quota to 200 people a year. But I\u2019m also happy to let the President get things done in his own way. He has proven to me that he is perfectly capable of advancing his agenda quickly. And finally, I am worried about Mueller. I really don\u2019t see why he doesn\u2019t fire that man. He\u2019s an enemy and he will do great harm if he\u2019s not stopped. And while the President is at it he needs to give Sessions an ultimatum, start cleaning house in the Justice Department or clear out and let someone else do it.<\/p>\n

So, as we begin year 2 A.T. (After Trumpocalypse) I am happy and energized knowing that the changes are as much in the people as they are in the government. We know who is helping and who is hindering us. And we know which voices to ignore (or mock) and which to heed. And finally, it was so much fun to watch all those YouTube videos from a year ago as all those liberal pundits lost their minds and hopes when the Trumpocalypse swept away all their dreams and left Hillary Clinton washed up like a beached whale rotting on the shores of Loserville.<\/p>\n

Since my readers don’t always stop by every day I figured I’d paste this poll on each post for a while to see what folks call themselves.\u00a0 This is the post the poll came from\u00a0\u00a0Who Are We?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

… And that got me thinking. Who are the people who read my blog?\u00a0 I thought it might be fun to see what the cross-section looked like.\u00a0 If you feel like saying what you believe in, feel free to leave a comment and\/or pick a label from the poll below.\u00a0 I think it might be interesting.<\/strong><\/p>\n
