It is now, for me, the second day of the glorious era of 45-47, and I cannot avoid reflecting on the historic social implications of this victory.
The younger among you will not remember it, but Reagan was mercilessly mocked, by the same pretend intellectuals of today, as a hopeless rube, a simpleton actor, a shallow clown, a hillbilly who got to power because dumber hillbillies than him voted for him. This went on for several years.
But Reagan proceeded to win absolutely gloriously in 1984, and the landscape began to shift. The evidence that this was a man who, alone and through the force of his conviction, had changed an entire Country became so evident that even the MSM, who had always treated him with veiled contempt, started to change tack and pay some tribute to the absolute giant they had in front of them. With the years, this solidified. When Reagan ended his second term, he was a walking and talking legend, and proceeded to easily win a third election via Bush 41. I am sorry, to this day, that John Wayne died before seeing the rise of Reaganism.
I think that history is about to repeat itself. The stunning victory just achieved – in a vastly more polarised Country than the one in which Reagan was living – is every bit the equivalent of Reagan’s 1984 landslide. Trump has, with his third victory, achieved iconic status forever. The venom that still surrounds him will, if I am right, slowly give way, in the years to come, to a balanced, fair recognition of the greatness of the man.
Slowly, the realisation will sink in, in the Country at large, that
– this man, who has been always called a Nazi, has the biggest support among Jews that a Republican President had in more than 100 years;
– this man, who has been always called a racist, has the biggest support in decades among Blacks and Latinos; and
– this man, who has always been mocked as a billionaire fake, is the best protector of the interests of hard working men and women.
To this, Trump adds the extreme courage, determination, and love for Country showed in Butler. The image posted above will remain etched in American history forever. That one was a moment of truth, a moment that can never be faked, staged, rehearsed, or repeated. It was raw Trumpness coming up in the rawest of moments. It was America at its best.
As this trickles through the public consciousness, the media will have to adjust to the new reality on the ground. There is, at this point, and after countless episodes of persecution, nothing that can touch him. The people’s love for Trump will prevent any further shenanigans, like the largely fabricated outrage and insider coup d’etat that took out Nixon for stuff that would make people smile today. Snipers and McDonald’s appear to be his most dangerous enemies. Let’s hope and pray he stays healthy, sharp, and Trumpy.
If I am right, Trump will achieve legend status, and will become a kind of John Wayne for the XXI Century. The very MSM who now insult him at every step will have to bow in front of his greatness in order to try to stay relevant. Something, by the way, that is vanishing fast. Joe Rogan alone is more relevant – because intellectually honest – than all of them together.
I am told that the average age of the viewers of “The View” is 67. That’s a lot of anger, a half genocide in abortions, an extremely high body count, and an army of cats.
You don’t win an election with the sluts of the Eighties.
You win them with the heroes of today.
