What does it mean when Donald Trump is elected President?\u00a0 It means we\u2019re almost done.\u00a0 When Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania vote Republican something is starting to happen.\u00a0 Now maybe Trump will relieve some of the anger that\u2019s building up.\u00a0 He has re-ignited the economy and given people hope.\u00a0 Maybe that will lower the pressure and allow things to return to a simmer.\u00a0 But maybe not.\u00a0 The full court press by the Democrats, The Media, Liberal Federal Judges, Corporate America, Hollywood, Blue State Governors and the Deep State to undo the results of the election is all encompassing.\u00a0 The cowardly republicans, when they\u2019re not actually working against the interests of their constituents, are almost entirely useless.\u00a0 Trump has some good instincts and knows how to negotiate with bureaucrats and scoundrels.\u00a0 But will it be enough?<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s election is akin to the Hail Mary Pass.\u00a0 America has been bamboozled for the last sixty years.\u00a0 Our politicians are a combination of the inept, the corrupt and the just plain evil.\u00a0 We\u2019ve allowed these people to corrupt us and our children and now we\u2019re hoping that a reality TV star and real estate entrepreneur is going to magically set the clock back to 1958.\u00a0 That\u2019s not going to happen.\u00a0 To undo what has happened will take years, maybe decades.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get me wrong.\u00a0 I\u2019m praying for the Hail Mary Pass to succeed.\u00a0 And who knows?\u00a0 It could.\u00a0 But I\u2019m daunted by the sheer number of things that have to go right.\u00a0 The midterms have to go for the Republicans.\u00a0 Justice Kennedy has to retire while we hold the Senate.\u00a0 That idiot Mueller has to go away without causing damage.\u00a0 The Congress has to wake up and grow a backbone.\u00a0 Trump has to deport millions of illegal immigrants and build the wall.\u00a0 Affirmative action has to be eliminated.\u00a0 Religious liberty and decency need to be defended by a conservative Supreme Court.\u00a0 The culture and traditions of this country need to be restored to what they were.<\/p>\n
I think of Trump as a pressure relief valve.\u00a0 Things are starting to boil and the pressure is in the danger zone.\u00a0 Trump can relieve some of that pressure in the short term but if the situation doesn\u2019t improve even that relief won\u2019t be enough.\u00a0 The whole thing is going to explode.\u00a0 And that isn\u2019t something I\u2019m hoping for.\u00a0 I\u2019ve got kids and grandkids.\u00a0 I\u2019d like them to live in a happy and good place, not a war zone.\u00a0 But honestly as time goes on I see less and less that reminds me of the country that I grew up in.<\/p>\n
So that is how I read the meaning of President Trump.\u00a0 He is the Hail Mary Pass from the 50-yard line with 1 second left on the clock and four defenders standing in the end zone waiting.\u00a0 If he wins, I\u2019ll live to see this country return to being a shining city on a hill.\u00a0 If he fails I expect the alt-right will be proven correct in their premonitions.\u00a0 We will see the fracture of this country into separate tribes, one against the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
