First off, standing/applauding the 70 to 80 percent of our country who believe we were heading in the wrong direction and voted overwhelmingly for change. Along with Kamala’s wipeout and that of the corporate/cable media, the DNC and identity politics/DEI/progressiveness suffered severe losses to the citizen’s common sense. Because of the disaster from day one of four years under a corrupt president/family, and an administration that consisted of DEI box checkers that were totally incompetent in their positions, the people of our country won.
Our corporate media failed at informing people and instead desperately tried and failed to influence people. From “Biden is as sharp as a tack” to “the border is secure” to “the Afghan withdrawal was a success” to “it’s a razor close election” to “it’s only a couple of complexes” to “inflation is only temporary,” people saw with their own eyes reality. Despite trying their best to degrade Trump with the usual falsehoods, insults and lies, people clearly saw the unprecedented lawfare created by Biden’s DOJ to eliminate Trump from running again. Nothing says “a threat to democracy” like trying to put your political opponent in jail. Sounds third-worldly. The much coveted felon tag became a medal to Americans against the now obvious corruption of our judicial system headed by Garland and Monaco. Soon after the election, MSNBC lost over 50 percent of its audience, fired its top manager and is close to going under. CNN lost 50 percent of its audience.
Oh, and please let’s not blame the horrific LA fires on climate change. It was clear neglect, incompetence and ignorance from our state/city leaders and their policies. How much pollution did the LA fires create due to ‘climate activists’ who are destroying our environment.
