Now is the time to speak plainly.
Sorry to keep saying it if you already heard it the first 57,000 times, but I don’t like Donald Trump. Never have, going all the way back to the ‘80s. I find him repulsive as a human being. Hell, as a mammal. He’s just a giant toddler in a private jet. And as a president, he was rarely better than tolerable.
I’m also against riots and all other political violence, no matter which political party is fomenting them, so I thought 1/6 was a really bad idea. The 1/6 committee hearings are a stupid waste of time, but I won’t pretend it was a great day for America.
Sorry, Don. Not a big fan.
I’m also not interested in repudiating a lifetime of hard-won observations about human nature just to appease a pack of feral children who can only communicate via TikTok dances. So I’m not a Democrat.
My attitude hasn’t changed since the moment Trump rode down that escalator and announced he was running for president. I’ve lost “friends” and good paying work for refusing to rationalize that lunatic’s behavior. I’ll probably lose subscribers today for saying this.
And this week, I was proven right beyond a shadow of a doubt.
You’re telling me I need to choose? Okay then, I chose anybody except the guy who just singlehandedly stopped a red wave with the sheer force of his self-obsession and repellent personality.
Trump had his moment, and even a cuck RINO traitor like me (who probably voted for Hillary) can admit that the guy did some good things. We’d still have Roe v Wade if that awful harridan had won, for example. Kudos to Trump for that. He was only the second-worst thing that could’ve happened on that day in November 2016.
But that was then, and this is now. Trump’s time is done. He’s yesterday’s news. Voters have moved on. Election day was their way of saying, “We’re just not that into you.”
When Trump endorsed a candidate who could decide the direction of the United States Senate for the next six years, everybody said: “Nah, I’d rather vote for the dude with literal brain damage.”
That guy just stood up to Trump and won. Just like another brain patient stood up to Trump in 2020 and won. Trump is weak, man.
Weak.
The only Republican who won in a blowout is a man Trump obviously hates and fears. If you call somebody “Ron DeSanctimonious” and the next day he wins reelection by 20 points, I’ll call you a lot of things, but “kingmaker” ain’t one.
DeSantis is a winner. Trump isn’t. It’s as simple as that. One guy is getting things done, and the other one has been throwing a temper tantrum for the past two years.
Only one of them gets results. Personally, I prefer results.
If you don’t like it, then don’t like it. Cry all you want. It won’t make a difference, but at least you’ll feel better.
To put it in terms even Mr. Trump can understand: America likes winners, and you’re a loser. You’re fired.
