Trump headed for a landslide? That’s what one prominent, Republican-leaning pollster predicts. [Breitbart News photo, 11-3-24]
I wish I could say I agree. I don’t sense a landslide. I remember 1980. It was too close to call. But technology moved slower back then. Reagan decimated Carter in the debate right before the election, but polling didn’t reflect the shift until election day. Today polling is largely irrelevant because it’s hopelessly dishonest and politicized. My sense is there will be nothing definitive until a week or two after the election, and the networks and the government will declare Kamala the winner. Just like last time. Those of us who question it will be called enemies of democracy. A boring sequel.
The real suspense: Will the silent majority rise up and refuse to take it, this time? And will the Establishment call out the troops, ordering soldiers to turn on fellow citizens?
Hopefully I am wrong. Hopefully Trump will win all 50 states (or at least 48) and there will be a MAGA mega realignment. But I don’t see how. Ignorance is rampant. Stupidity is cool. Young people are lighting the dynamite of their own destruction, thinking it’s virtuous to be leftists. And evil really is everywhere, like nothing I have ever seen. In 1980, most people still sensed right from wrong; today, it’s not the same.
Hopefully I am wrong.
The Soviet Union had elections throughout its 75 year reign. Merely having elections does not make you free.
“Ahead of potential civil unrest due to Tuesday’s presidential election, the National Guard is on standby as a precaution in several states, including Washington state and Oregon, where hundreds of ballots were damaged or destroyed after at least three ballot drop boxes were recently set on fire, officials say.” [CNN]
Mediaspeak for: “The Party wants to control the outcome of the election. Stay out of their way or we’ll foist the troops on you.”
Like-minded people concerned about the destruction of America, freedom and Western civilization keep asking: “What can we do? What can we do?”
They expect someone to develop a plan for them.
It doesn’t work that way. When fighting for your life and your freedom, you don’t wait for orders. You do whatever the hell you have to do. You figure it out, because you must.
All the best to everyone this week. We are entering a very difficult time. But remember: The enemy is an idiot.
