Even here in accursed Dunwich, Donald Trump\u2019s victory has reverberated through the ether and shaken the very foundations of reality.\u00a0 The First Selectman paused while gulping down a bus full of convention-bound orthodontists and was heard to say, \u201cI like the cut of that orange-man\u2019s jib!\u201d<\/p>\n
No fooling.\u00a0 Regardless of political stripe, every non-leftist has been knocked for a loop by the enormity of Trump\u2019s victory.\u00a0 Even dyed in the wool voting deriders like the ZMan have acclaimed the power of Trump\u2019s hold on more than half the country.\u00a0 And even as the dissident right reasserts their conviction that \u201cwe can\u2019t vote our way out of this,\u201d nevertheless, they applaud his fearless crusade to wreak a terrible vengeance against his Deep State enemies and drive official Washington insane with fear and trepidation.<\/p>\n
And my hat is off to him.\u00a0 It\u2019s not that I now believe he\u2019ll be able to vanquish the managerial state, but I honor the courage of his attempt.\u00a0 And the idealist side of me is galvanized by the prospect of Donald Trump firing the entire executive layers of the FBI, State Department and DOJ.\u00a0 I\u2019d give a whole lot to see all of those tin-pot Stalins crying on the pages of the New York Times and Washington Post about how unjustly they\u2019ve been treated.\u00a0 And I\u2019d love to see Comey brought up on charges in front of a real grand jury from outside of DC.<\/p>\n
But the realist side of me doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen.\u00a0 I think Trump will make things somewhat better.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll drain the swamp.\u00a0 What I hope he\u2019ll do is pardon all the people who were persecuted during Biden\u2019s term, deport the illegal immigrants and use executive orders to give the red states the breathing room they\u2019ll need over the course of the next four years to start the difficult process of inoculating their states and citizens, as much as it is possible, from the non-constitutional interference of the federal government.<\/p>\n
What would be fortuitous is if the Supreme Court strikes down the rest of the unconstitutional \u201crights\u201d that the liberal majority discovered; homosexuality, gay marriage and affirmative action.\u00a0 With those issues back in the purview of the states we would see conservative states restoring normalcy to their people while places like California and New York could enjoy all the incredible benefits of Kindergarten Drag Queen story hour, transgender girls\u2019 sports supremacy and pediatric trans-affirming surgeries to their hearts\u2019 content.<\/p>\n
So, I\u2019ll finish by saluting the Orange Man for being a phenomenon that has transformed conservative politics definitively.\u00a0 His exposure of the phoniness of all the establishment Republicans opened millions of people\u2019s eyes to reality and banished those craven losers to the ash heap of history.\u00a0 The Bushes, Cheneys, Romneys and all their ilk.\u00a0 And all the \u201cconservative\u201d journalist grifters whom he relegated to cesspools like the Bulwark.\u00a0 He has done a tremendous service for this country.\u00a0 And I believe we are responsible for using the knowledge he gave us wisely.\u00a0 Never allow yourself to be frightened into thinking you have to say things you don\u2019t believe in.\u00a0 Never try to convince yourself that something that is nonsense should be accepted because otherwise someone\u2019s feelings might be hurt.\u00a0 Never entertain the idea that there might be a conservative case for castrating children.\u00a0 Use the knowledge he has given us as a tool for navigating the dangerous waters we find ourselves in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
